SCC Week 2 Weigh In and Week 3 Goals

So it was week 2 weigh in today with SCC update:

Weight: 13 Stone (-5lb)


Arms: 13" (+0.4")
Chest: 33" (-1")
Waist: 32" (Same)
Stomach: 40.2" (-0.8")
Thighs: 23" (same)
Calf: 17" (Same)


So most of measurements are the same, so I'm hoping when my leg is better and I can start to train again that I will trim up a bit. The big thing is the weigh loss. I'm fairly hesitant to scream and shout about the supposed 5lb weigh loss. I'm thinking I never really put any on, it was just my totm that made it seem like I had but its nice to know that I'm not that big.


SCC update:

• Losing inches - Like I mentioned staying roughly the same but think it will improve with time. 
• 1 mile time - Still 11.12, as had to take break from running
• Size - Clothes are definitely getting big, So I'm thinking this one will happen.
• Calories - Not doing calories at all. So restricting and time consuming. I'm trying to start again this week
• Water - Currently exceeding 6 Glasses a day. Whoop go me!
• Exercise  - Exercise 4 times due to injury
• Gym  - Went twice again because of injury
• Swimming - No 
• Zumba - No 
• Horse Riding - Complete for month
• Blogged - Have Blogged twice a week every week so far and have been supporting other challengers

How was week 2?


Did you have any a-ha moments?
When I went for a 7 mile walk, I realised just how fantastic it was to do exercise outdoors, even in winter.


What was your biggest success?
Got rid of the weight I had *put* on and didn't have any chocolates from the Milk tray sat in the office :D


What was your biggest struggle?
Not exercising due to my injury. I Wanted to exercise but knew it would be better to just not exercise and wait for it get better.


Week Three Goals:

• Enjoy my birthday.
• Work extra hard before and after so I can have a really good time.
• Get my leg healed up, so taking it easy and not rushing back in.
• Stick to healthy eating on non celebratory meals.
• Get into 12 stone realm on scale

Holiday Events

Today's agenda invovles running, exercise shopping and smaller clothes!!!!

So the first thing to address is that I have finally exercised. I ran on my sister's treadmill (which I've finally got the hang off). I actually ran a whole Mile, first time ever for me!! woooo! Very pleased, so in my calculations thats 1.6km. I'm hoping to run that for a week or so now! I think a goal for me is to be running 5km by Easter time.

The next thing worth mentioning is the fact instead of buying myself goodies or treats, I instead bought myself new digital scales, an exercise mat and a fit ball. Things have definitely changed in me. I would have never willingly spent money on this kind of thing a year ago. So I think it marks a significant moment in my evolution.

The last thing that has put a smile on my face, is the fact that when I went clothes shopping the other day, I could try on clothes that were smaller. It made me feel really great about myself and urged me on for the coming year.

I'm looking forward to New Year's Eve, where I can have some fun. All in all, feeling very positive at the end of the year. I have treated myself this Christmas but it just makes me feel more determined to get back on it now.
