Ok firstly let me correct an error in the last post; Helen is not getting married in July, its April. I knew that, I dont know why I put July. Anyway I should be almost target weight by then.
So since my last update, I did a couple of weeks at 1300-1400 calories then I hit a wall and wasnt losing much weight. I decided to up the calorie count again and toughen up the workouts a little bit. So last week calories were around 1600-1800 per day (depending on alcohol intake). Examples of meals from last week: Meatloaf, mixed bean casserole, bacon pasta bake. Good wholesome food not cabbage soup and salad! Workouts are starting to get back on track, I am still not back to pre-christmas levels but getting much better. I have been mixing it up a little bit too by going for some bike rides, doing Davina's cardio DVD and I have started to do some squats and deadlifts. I am also starting to focus on core strength by doing exercises such as "The plank". Improving your core strength helps develop your abs but also helps your balance and posture.
This week I have lost 3lbs, which I am very happy with. Total weight loss now stands at 3 stone and 9lbs. Less than 2 stone left to lose now. When I lose another stone I will start to think about how I look and feel and decide how much more I would like to lose. That will leave me at 11st 4lb. Last time I was skinny I weighed 11st 3lb and I would have liked to get just under 11st. Im thinking somewhere between 10st 7lb and 11st would be about right. Like I say its more to do with how I look and feel rather than the numbers.
By the way, those size 14 jeans are already starting to get a little lose :-)
