Ugly Duckling to Beautiful Swan

Day 49
Its weigh in Wednesday but i can update that on Sunday, though not feeling it this week i think last week was such a shock to the system however on the plus side i have been walking so much more in fact over a period of a week i have doubled me steps from someone whom 49 days ago would get a bus into town rather than walk (i live 15min walk) or do food shopping online rather than walk to the shops i think I'm doing okay

Monday i officially hit over 10,000 steps i haven't done this in a very long time and my fit bit thingy buzzed and a little dancing trophy appeared i tried to snap a pic but it vanished before i had the chance i was on my way back from the cinema with a friend and laughed.

Once the month end is over i can add all my KM's I've built up over this month and put them towards my next Eat, Sleep 100KM medal.

thrown in a pic of my favourite meal in the last 7 days ham and mushroom farfalle all done slimming world friendly so completely free (well you still pay for the ingredients!!!)

Day 43

If you've got through all the spam of blog updates then wow that's amazing


Last night was the normal Weigh in Wednesday and i was surprised with a 2 n half pound LOSS yep that's more than my first week which means im on target for that stone before i fly to New York/Orlando in 7 weeks just a 1lb a week plus a extra 1/2 somewhere and ive got done

sent off evidence for my 3rd medal too which i absolutely love!!!

So here to the rest of the week and i'll be back on sunday!!!!!

Also signed up to 2 more challenges and might even attempt to have a jog over the weekend,

Day 41
I know I'm a day late, n theres no excuses ive picked up sone kinda viral bug or something leaving me really physically drained I slept most of saturday although I pulled myself together n managed a small walk to town did some shopping n had to get a taxi back I couldnt move my legs were like heavy weights

Sunday was virtually the same still it meant time at home I could cook some scrummy meals wen I was awake
Found out sprouts dipped in peppercorn sauce is totally yummy!!!!

Day 35
And sorry it's a day late to check in on my challenge but for the girl who barely walked anywhere January I didn't do to bad its defiantly given me motivation to beat the mark I set though the weekend of once again travelling n catching up on sleep has put me a little behind

Weight lost this week i lost half pound so that brings it bck even with the week b4 and with just over 8 weeks till orlando im really kicking myself to give it my all

Day 20 and a sunday night catch up

Today was spent meal prepping lots of variety meals for work
Lasagne, sausage casserole, fish pie, chicken tikka 18 mini meals all packaged up ready to go with lots of veg to fill me up.

Walking side i completed my 50k challenge on Friday so onto the next one and a start at building towards my 100k challenge

I've started walking longer routes home too to build up my km's also a way to get fitter

Well here's to wednesday n another weigh in

Posted a pic of the tikka and it was lushhhh!!!!

Day 16....

Firstly apologises for Sunday end of week report but there really wasn't a lot to write I haven't been feeling to well n my foot has really troubled me but onwards n upwards im bck 85% fit so walking is back on

I have purchased myself a fit bit kinda thing too cheaper version but does similar stuff as my phone wasn't always picking things up accurately also monitors my sleep (which makes for interesting reading) so as of Feb I can use that to record my challenges


As it Wednesday that means weigh in Wednesday so to add an update with slimming world and a further 1.5 LOSS bringing my total to 3.5lbs but it's still a LOSS and I have promised this time I will do it more slowly so I know it WILL stay that way

Tonight once I got home I cooked steak new potato's n sooo much veg it looked that good the smoke alarm went off

Well it's me day 9 n my first weigh in...

If you've done SW ur know how it feels that 1st weigh in well that was me today n boy was I nervous im my own worst critic so whatever it was I was bound to kick myself

I've eaten so much fruit n veg been 100% on plan n if truth b told probably spent more time peeing at work than doing my job!!!! (Sorry TMI)

The benefits I'm sleeping slighlty better I have terrible insomnia so getting a better sleep pattern is a bonus my bloated tummy is reducing so going in the right direction


Well enough waffling it was a LOSS 2LBS


But to me not enough but it's in the right direction!!!


On to the walking so remenber that blister well it went down but what we discovered was I'd actually burst a blood vessel in my heel....how I have no idea its healing but taking a while so my progress is slowing down a bit for the time being!!!

Well thats enough for now I'm still irritated it wasn't more than 2lb but there's always nxt week see you Sunday!!!!!!

Day 6
Wednesday seems ages ago but as promised here I am with my Sunday update

So thursday through to today 100% on plan food wise loading up on plenty of fruit if truth b told I haven't had that much fruit in ages...also managed to walk a few kms each day more even in the office getting up walking about

Which brings me to saturday and my 1st achievement of sorts a long time ago I told my friend when she came home i would join her 4 park run or at least see her at the start line shes got a pb of sub 30 so friday night i set my alarm n wen saturday came around stuck to my promise u can see in the pic i was less than thrilled it was mild n muddy but I did it although I did a brisk walking 5k I certainly felt it so did the blister I got as a seal of approval!! N woke today with a sore hip n very stiff...

In completing this though even if it means temporary pain it also means I gained my 1st of many for 2019 medal mad medals too n the pain will lessen with more walkin n weight loss so win win!!

Over on the food today I tried butternut squash for the 1st time in waffle shapes very nice I will deffo have them again combined with some of my fav veg n pork medallions

Well over n out this duckling needs to prep the lunch n fruit for tomorrow's work bag!!

Breakfast 2 poached eggs
Mid morning snack 1 apple half a dozen strawberries n grapes
Lunch break salmon pasta loaded with veggies
Followed by more fruit n water

Tonight I finally re joined slimming world and got on the dreaded box

Also achieved roughly 5k walking between work n slimming world group.

No more foodie updates till Wednesdays but I'll check in with walking progress on Sunday night

So begins my 2019 challenge im the kinda person that do an online shop instead of walking to the shops (I don't drive) but today I put on my trainers (my 1st pair in 18months) n went to the supermarket to get some fruit n veg cupboard staples. So the mass batch cooking can begin. ‏ — feeling happy
