We are now over half way through the New You Challenge and I am really starting to notice the changes. I had LOADS of compliments last week and over the weekend from friends who can now see that I have lost weight - I LOVE it when this happens,as it really gives my self confidence a boost, and inspires me to keep going.
I have been really good with my daily exercises, even adding in a few extra km on the bike and some extra stomach exercises and press ups. I went for an extra session at the gym on Saturday (without a personal trainer) and decided to try jogging. I managed to cover 5km in just under 42 mins, with a combination of running, jogging and walking. I am NOT a runner, and I felt brilliant at the end of this, even though I now have a big blister on the back of my foot. Olivia from More FM appeared at both my sessions this week to take photos of me in action - at least she didn't arrive while I was doing "burpies" and star jumps.
My skin is now showing the benefits of the skin care from Urban Sanctuary. I have never really bothered with much in the way of skin care products apart from moisturiser, but my skin feels really different - much smoother and not so dry. I have had a weird dry patch on my forehead for years,and it's completely disappeared :-)
I am looking forward to my hair appointment at the end of November - all my gray is now showing and I am hoping for a lovely cut and colour. I have been told to expect my appointment to last 3 hours - what luxury! I am also looking forward to trying on the clothes at Ezibuy, but I would like to lose as much weight as possible before then. I have been told to cut out carbs at my evening meal, which is a bit of a challenge, but I have managed it for the last 5 days, and the weight loss does seem to have started again. Spag bol on salad is not quite the same as with pasta, but if it improves the weight loss, it will be worth it. I had a chat with Melissa about diet on Monday and she told me to eat more - which was great to hear!!!
Look out for the photos of me at the gym!!!
