More FM New You - Week 3  I love this picture - this is my aim over the next 7 weeks!!!!

I am now half way through week 3 of New You, and I feel GREAT!!
I have done more exercise in the last 3 weeks than in the last 11 years, and am now starting to feel the benefits. I have increased the amount of reps on the exercises I'm doing at home, and the gym session today was the hardest yet. I had to do loads of running up and down the stairs, climbing the stairs 2 at a time, and JUMPING up the stairs - it was exhausting. I must have climbed the equivalent of more than 20 flights of stairs, as well as doing leg, arm and core exercises. It was hard, but I was so pleased with myself at the end - this was a fantastic achievement for me as I hate stairs and I hate jumping!! Alice was really pleased with me - which was fantastic as I was so unfit 3 weeks ago. I have an extra personal trainer session this week (before work on Friday) as I am on holiday next week and wont be able to make it to the gym.

The weight loss seems to have slowed down, but I hope that is just a temporary thing. I am eating way less food than I used to - although I have been out for lunch and dinner today - oops!! I was very good when out for a meal this evening as I ordered an entree as my main, which is something I've never even thought of doing before.

Last Saturday I cycled a total of 25km on my exercise bike - all thank to England's poor performance in the rugby. I had already cycled 10km, but decided not to waste time watching the second half of the England/France game, and got back on the bike instead. I cycled another 15km, during the second half of the game.

My box of skin care products arrived today, with more than I was expecting - an extra sun block cream has been thrown in - thank you Urban Sanctuary. I look forward to starting my skin treatment tonight. I went and had a look around Ezibuy with a freind this week, but I haven't been to try on any outfits yet.

I hope I can keep up with the diet and exercise while I'm on holiday. I'm staying with a friend who is a brilliant cook - I must try not to pig out too much. I also hope that I can keep up with most of my daily exercises (apart from my exercise bike) and I may even attempt to go out for a jog/walk.

Thank you again More FM for giving me this chance to find a New Me - I really hope that in 7 weeks time, you will be pleased with the results!!
