Inch by inch

So saw Dr C today. He was very happy with me and gave me a goal of
losing 30 pounds over next two months. Tough but I need to dial up my
workouts anyway as he warned me it's tougher after first three months.
Also you lose the most weight first year so if I don't shift it this
year could have a hard time getting rid of it

He also gave me a new goal of 150 pounds so 10 stone and 10 pounds he
thinks is my ideal weight for frame. So means I have 62 and a bit to
go so less than 5 stone. It'll be a challange but I'm in this for my
health and being around for my kids and hubby

Next week back to work. So that'll be interesting to see what folks
think and also keeping my new food and exercise routine. I can walk at
work while on phone so going to do that daily so i can maximize the
calorie burn

For now moving and a grovin

Clothes

You know you have too many clothes when you give away three full bags
and still have too many to fit in closets or drawers. Thankfully they
are getting too big on me so I am taking them and putting them in a
bag to go to a lovely friend. My feet got a bit skinnier but that's
meant shoes fit me better so keeping most of those. The biggest
difference is trousers as they have now gone past the they will stay
up as they are elastic and so they are all going to the bags as well.
I have a lot of skinner type clothes though so apart from a wee spend
at walmart to get some capris for $7 I haven't really bought anything
as I'd rather wait till I really have to. That and hopefully I can get
by till my sister Gra comes over as she's great for shopping for folks
and I really hate shopping. I'm down about 8 sizes now and I don't
know what size bra I am but a few bras are now too big in the back.
Cup size dropped as well but sure will be in the DDD range. At least
they look deflated from the super beach ball look I had going on ;)
I see the doc again this week and hopefully he'll be as pleased as i
am. Still 70 odd pounds to go but feels good to be more than halfway

Side view 85 pounds aka 6 stone down

85 pounds or 6 stone later

Here you go. I do these every two weeks. Dropped another couple of
pounds. I Noticed I haven't done as much exercise since I started the
training as too sore to really do the same amount. Will try and do
better next week

Loose woman alert

So clothes now are looser and so is my wedding ring! See that gap.
That's from skinnier fingers. My engagement ring keeps it in place
thankfully so not risking losing it

I was down at bobs Aka weight w again yeah! Down 5 pounds. Getting
close to going back to work

Today I see lads at work at company picnic for a bit. How much do you
bet that none of them notice I lost any weight ? They probably think
I'm just not preggers any more

Two sessions now with trainer and today I move more easily than first
one which was a OMG I can't move for 4 days

I also confirmed I'm a wimpy ass and can't lift any weights really. He
says it's my grip but I think it's my no muscle all fat arms. But
working on it!

So let's move and groove people!

Training

Ok just finished my first training session with a trainer at avac
club. OMG. My legs are actually shaking and jelly. I think funniest
was when he tried to get me to do a pullup on a machine that allegedly
makes it easier and I fell straight off it unable to hold myself up.
Nothing injured but my little pride. So let's say we skipped that one
and did some others. But I did manage a plank pilates style and squats
which I couldn't do before and lasted an hour with all the exercises.
Phew

Interesting meeting with personal trainer yesterday. He never had a
weight loss patient before so was educating him on the nutrition bit
and what I can eat and should eat while he was explaining his plan

I'm still obese which I knew going in and did the fat calipers on me
checking arm, thigh and stomach fat. Felt like cattle getting checked
before market hah. Anyway I'm happy I'm heading in right direction and
figure he an educate me on strength training as that's something I
need to start doing. He's going to ease me into it and use my body as
weight first than lots of machines or weights. He'll train me so I can
do it on my own

I have my first session today so expect me to me sore at weekend!

I'm down again yeah! And now less than 70 pounds to lose

I'm down 84 pounds so 6 stone down. Only 3.4 pounds from docs goal
this week so happy with that

So now to get dressed and ready for zumba and then later training

Can we say ouch together?
