Spark Exercise Minutes for May (so far) = 660

(my April minutes were 520)

Sorry I've been MIA. I am really disappointed that I allowed myself to fall off track for the best part of a week. I don't know why. I am finding it hard but I will get back in to this.

I think by setting small goals along the way, I can achieve what I set out to do. I am just concentrating on that goal and I'm not even thinking any further ahead. I do want to set a time frame for this but I want to do it slowly. I am already feeling better in my clothes, I feel fitter but I know I have a long, long way to go.

It's time to set some new goals.......

My new goal is 224 pounds by ? (I still have to decide on this)
I will not eat any chocolate or sweet foods unless they are Weightwatchers (or diet friendly)
I will exercise 1000 minutes in June.
I will track my food on SP every day.

Only one pound this week which doesn't match the time and effort I've put in but I am still happy - a loss is a loss!

Weigh In Monday

I promised Angie I would start doing Weigh In Mondays with her. I have just not been consistent. I finished up April with only missing 1 day of working out. I just walked but at least I did something everyday. For the month of May we have committed to doing 620 min. of cardio. So far I have 35, can you tell that I need to step it up?

Sunday 3rd May 2009

This has been a difficult week food wise. I have really struggled not to give in to temptations. I don't really know why but I expect it is due to a touch of PMT (PMS). Thursday and Friday were the hardest days. I was really hungry and craving chocolate, well any food at all. If was one of those times when I could have eaten and eaten and never been satisfied. I was lucky to have lots of online support (special thanks to my sparkbuddies and Kim!) and I drank lots of Sugar Free Ribena to help me through. I did succumb to half a cream bun and a packet of Rolos on Thursday night but other than that I did stay in control. I am very proud of myself - it is a first for me!

Yesterday I finally felt back to normal. I am enjoying my food and exercise again and am quite happy with the meals and snacks I am having. I went out shopping and restocked the freezer with Weight Watcher Meals. They are my new lifesaver. Whenever the family are eating something I can't have or maybe having a takeaway there is always a WW meal I can have to avoid temptation. The pizza and oven chips (chips = fries, not chips = crisps! US/UK) are also good. Sometimes I like to have some WW oven chips and ketchup as a treat. The desserts are also a nice treat. I usually have one a couple of times a week for dessert, sometimes I save it until later in the evening.

Do you think I have enough to last................lol
