This week my weight has stayed the same, which I’m pretty happy with. I ate loads last weekend, due to it being Mother’s Day, and although I’ve been pretty good this week, we had a chip shop dinner on Thursday night due to a crazy day at work and me not getting in until late.
So, I now have less than two weeks to lose 3lbs to get me to 9st 7lbs before we go on holiday. I’m hoping this will provide the motivation I need.
I’ve already upped my exercise. I ran 4 miles on Saturday and 3 yesterday. I’m spinning tonight and I’m also hoping to run tomorrow night.
I’m also planning my meals in advance, so I know exactly what I’m eating. I find that if I don’t do this I’m easily tempted by the naughty option. Here’s this week’s plan:
Monday (Spinning)
Breakfast – 2 Weetabix with skimmed milk
Lunch – Jacket potato with beans and salad and a fat free yogurt
Snack – Satsuma
Dinner – Cottage pie and veg
Snack – Mango

Meal plan looks great, love mexican food . Fajitas are a family favourite
Thanks! We love them here too x
Fab meal plan, I hope you lose that last few pounds before you go away x
Thanks! Was a bit naughty today at a buffet at work, so fingers crossed! x
Love the planning 😉 think it's so much easier when you're watching your weight to plan each meal as then no sneaky snacks come and throw you off course (or less sneaky snacks!). Good luck with your week!
Thanks! I'm certainly a planner x
It's great that you're planning snacks, that's always my downfall! A fab menu, hope you have a lovely week 🙂 xx
Thank you! I used to struggle with what to snack on, but find it easier if I have things ready x
You're doing really well Jemma. You'll get those 3lb's off no trouble I'm sure,. I went to week 3 weigh in tonight and I'd lost 2lb so that's 6.5lb in total now. Slightly gutted that I couldn't shift another half lb to get my half stone award but it was a big ask. I'll get it next week though. 12lb left to target. Are you going to keep going when you've hit target? x
