Weight loss results are in! I lost 3.5 lbs this week! I am beyond happy with that result, I only started the Fast800 plan on Sunday, and the weight loss would have been only from that (Sunday - Wednesday). I am definitely going to carry on with the plan, I had a wobble yesterday as I was at a loss what to do for dinner and ended up eating an oven pizza, and today I have had a combination of biscuits and Prosecco.  Whoops...only human though, AMR?! Dinner tonight will be on plan and healthy - Mediterranean Chicken Orzo by Pinch of Nom. I will get back on the Fast800 bandwagon tomorrow, including getting my butt into the gym, which I haven't done in ages.  I actually cannot wait, I started watching Danielle Mansutti's YouTube channel and I got stuck into her "Get Healthy with Me" videos and they really inspired me to get back at it. If you're feeling in a rut I definitely recommend giving them a watch.  I'll post an update rounding off tomorrow with...

Happy Monday!  Going into the week well rested and happy, Liam and I spent yesterday mooching around Bluewater.   All was going well until a menu board fell over and everyone decided to charge away fearing an attack.  We were shopping in John Lewis at the time, not knowing what was going on, we just stuck where we were, we didn't want to run with the herd as it seemed ridiculous. With all the drama over in two minutes we were able to carrying on shopping as normal! I bought myself a new SAD lamp for at Liam's place.  I hadn't used mine Saturday and Sunday morning and my goodness I really felt it!  Managed to pick up a lovely one in John Lewis , which I will be able to keep on my bedside table in his bedroom.  This one is smaller than mine at home, it is around the size of an iPad or Kindle, which is great for space saving. If the winter darkness and the clocks going back have numbed your zest for life I really recommend investing in one.  ...

The past few weeks have been rocky, I have been suffering with a cold (finally going) and the darker nights have taken their toll on me. Through the ups and mini downs of weigh in my total weight change for October is plus 1 lb, which has really put me back in terms of where I want to be at weigh in just before Christmas (19/12). I have 7 weigh ins left, and I wanted to achieve my 4 stone certificate, to get that I need to lose 25 lbs, which when averaged out over the weeks is 3.57 lbs to lose per week. Currently that feels unattainable, so I have reduced my aim to 3.5 stone certificate which leaves me with needing to lost 2.57 lbs per week (slightly more attainable). I plan to have a good few solid weeks (I want Slimmer of the Month for November) so with that in mind I will be on my way to getting those awards. With that aim laid out I now need to sort out how I am going to get there. As of Tuesday I got my SAD lamp out for the winter, it really helps wake me up in the m...
