Since Christmas and the mammoth 10 and half pounds I put on I have been working hard to try and lose it. I've been stymied along the way with some joint problems, waking each morning with sore feet and wrists, so am currently undergoing some tests and taking a round of anti-infammatories, which has meant that I haven't been back to the gym :-( However, I have been indulging in 'March for March' which is something those of us following Weight Watchers have been trying to do.. basically the idea is to march on the spot for 1 minute for each day of March.. thereby increasing my exercise gradually..
I set a goal last time to take 8 weeks to get to my 15% weight loss of 13 stone 4lbs.. I've not quite got there yet, the lack of moving about quite so much, I think has led to this.. I've been sticking to my plan and have been generally losing steadily.. slight blips at Valentines Day (meal out) and a family meal out at half term.. however, on the whole its going in the right direction!
More news.. I have a new job... I've decided to take the plunge and have been accepted as a Weight Watchers Leader!!! Its terribly exciting and a huge learning curve. The plan works, simple. Its not a diet, but a lifestyle change and it encourages people to change their relationship with food for good.. and it works!! So I'm becoming a walking advocate. If I can do it, anyone can do it. I really mean that. I still have treats, like chocolate and the occasional drink, lots of things really, but I assess my 'ProPoints' and work out what I'm eating accordingly.So, its lots of training to do, lots of practice and hopefully I'll be delivering my own meetings soon and helping other people like myself. It also means that beside this blog, I am under the watchful eye of Weight Watchers, all the people who'll be in my groups and everyone I meet.. Its giving me a huge insentive to keep going.
So here's a latest pic...
