Week 5 & 6 Weigh In exercise update......

Week 5:
This week was a good week, still on track and enjoying weight watchers, listening to the radio and in the new bulletin they said this is the week when people on a weight loss plan give up so happy to report I am not part of that group(go me)

So loss this week was:

0.5 pounds 

Exercise Update

lost 3 inches off my waist

was hoping to have another 1 pound loss this week, but I lost 0.5 I was hopping with my exercise I would see better weight loss each week, is that's not what meant to happen!! well in hindsight when I took my measurement again, I was delighted I have been going over my tracker and doing a lot of research in to exercise, weight loss, calories etc and I have been very strict not eating my weeklies and have not been using my activity points either, I think I used less than 10 of my weeklies and I think I may have not eaten enough! plus with feeding a baby the rules change a little normally eat less move more =  weight loss. but not if your feeding you need to make sure you eat enough for the baby and then your body lets go of its fat reserves! so putting that theory to the test and making sure I eat enough!


Treated my self to the new weight watchers Complete kitchen cook book I love it! very impressed have used it lots all ready this week, well worth it but watch this space I will share some recipes in the coming weeks :)

Week 6:

So I did not get to post as much as I wanted to this week, house full of sick children, who passed on their lovely dose to me! but I did do a great 10k walk in the wicklow/ Dublin mountains carrying my 11 month old in a carrier. he weighs about 19 pounds. some work out! we were walking 4 hours, over rough, wet boggy up hill ground. we stopped a bit as well to take in the view and water and fruit break.
but on Monday I was feeling under the weather, so decided to skip my harder work outs doing cardio and resistance. got in a good walk Tuesday and Wednesday I got in a short walk!

So weigh in this week

1& 1/2 pounds

Happy with that and I'm still on target for a pound a week for 19 of May, roll on next week!

Food wise I made some lovely cupcakes pic and recipe to follow!
