more gym but no change on the scales..

I have been working out like a demon this past week and unfortunately it was not reflected on the scales, as I stayed more or less the exact same weight... but taking into consideration it was valentines over the weekend I ended up eating out and having chocolates and alcohol.. ohh dear!!

but I am happy with my exercise progress as i feel fitter and happier in myself.

so i guess its just a case of keeping positive!!

eating out & cocktails

So I went out last night with my friend, and we had a great catch up over dinner and drinks but due to the mood of the night I just decided that if I was paying for a pricey dinner I might as well order something that I really wanted... so I went for the battered haddock and chunky chips!! It was delicious but of course I was on a drunken guilt-free night out and seeing as everyone else was having a dessert.. I decided I would have one too!! so there you go I had a non-diet night, consisting of fish and chips followed by apple and custard tart... and a gin and tonic, and three daiquories. :(

So yet again I have started the week well and finished it badly.. so to redeem myself I am going to work out at the gym tomorrow!!

I really am struggling to 'be good' whilst out in restuarants and at parties.. any tips?? Nothing on the menu seema healthy and those that do sound ok and up covered in sauces full of calories!!

Anybody got any tips??

thanks... xx

going to the gym..

I started my new free one month gym membership on tuesday.. I have been tues, wede, thurs of this week so far- and I am enjoying it. I have had good motivation this week and although I am pretty sure I have not lost anymore weight I feel good and healthy! To try and keep myself motivated I have also signed up to take part in some of the classes ( so I have body combat and aerobics next week to try).

I last weighed myself on sunday and I was 173.6 lbs, which was a loss of around half a pound that week... which wasnt great.
But hopefully this week will be better, although it is important to remember that as long as the scales are going down I am still heading in the right direction.

Hope you all are having success with your journeys!!

Heading out tonight for dinner and drinks with a friend.. so trying to psych myself up for ordering the healthy option and not what I actually want!!

speak soon!!
