Weight loss update... 1 week complete

So I said last week that I am going to use my blog to keep me accountable and help me get to my goal weight. I had my first weigh in yesterday :)...

 I only started the program 4 days ago although I have been 'being good' for a week so wasn't expecting massive changes. I managed to lose 2.5lbs in that time. My water levels were still the same so at least it's not just water that I'm losing, although I shouldn't hope so considering how much I'm drinking. The scales I am using track metabolic age, body fat %, muscle weight along with weight and various other things. I'm hoping to see these all go in the right direction.  


Fingers crossed that this loss only gets bigger but for now I am happy with getting my goal loss of 2lbs a week and aim to lose another 6 by the first of April. 

My aim alongside this is to continue living a normal family life. Therefore family meals are going to be included (our family meals are normally quite healthy anyway) although some little alterations may be made if it fits and if we have play dates or family things on the weekend I'm fully joining in. I have no intention of being miserable and cutting everything out of my life to be skinny. This week I am going to be enjoying my Sunday with another family at a national trust park (we have just become members which I'm super excited about). There is a cornish festival on for St Pirons week which normally include nice cornish food. I WILL enjoy this but will also be starting to build in exercise this week and will continue the rest of the week at 100%. 

I do have before photos but there is no way they are being posted until I see significant changes... Then there might be a comparison. I have also taken all my measurements so fingers crossed the inches will start falling off. 

Goals for this week:
- to stick to it 100% 
- enjoy our Sunday outing... EXCITED 
- go for a run at least 3 times this week 


2.5lbs down, 29.5lbs to go...
