Wordless Wednesday

Half a Stone in 5 Weeks!!

This is not a congratulatory post, I have not lost half a stone in 5 weeks.............I have gained half a stone in 5 weeks!!! I am totally mortified!! The day before I had my coil fitted I weighed myself and just as I got into the shower this evening I weighed myself again! I am so ashamed!

I have noticed that I have more of an appetite since having the coil and that I have been eating larger portions but this has really shocked me. I am now officially the biggest I have ever been! I know that the coil is not totally to blame and that I need to get this back under control and I am starting as of now!

For the last week I have resumed my routine of walking to work 3 days a week, with the intention on increasing that to walking to and from work 3 times a week to then walking to work everyday. This is also in preparation of me getting my bike. I have it, but the lovely Sue and Graham (S&G) are carrying out the minor repairs it needs in order for me to make full use of it. (this bike was given to me for free from by one of S&G's neighbours) I have also been trying to swap my crisps and other snacks for fruit but seem to be eating the fruit in addition!

Im surprised at how much this has rocked me. I have noticed that my walking time to work has increased from between 23-35 minutes from before Christmas to 45 for the last week or so. I plan to set my self a target of 35 minutes for the next few days to get myself back into the rhythm of it. I will substitute by bad snacks for fruit and stick to it and im defiantly going to start weighing my portion size again.

Im also going to sign back up with Weight Watchers when I get paid this month. Weight Watchers really worked for me before and this time to make it easier I am going to do it all online, the tracking, the meal plans all of it!

TIME TO SHIFT THIS WEIGHT!!!!
