day 44

I reached a milestone today on the wii fit as you may have guessed from the title of this blog.
i have now had the wii fit for 44 days. i have been fairly regular in getting on it nearly every day. i'm on it at least 4 days a week and for about 45 mins each time. every time i use it i sweat bucket loads and my heart rate is raised. the wieight loss is still going in the right direction with my current loss now a total of 5st 9lb.
For the first time since this journey began i feel like i have lost the weight i can look at myself and see the difference. i picked up my nephew last week, he is 10 years old and weighs 5st 13 lb and is as skinny as a beanpole. i couldn't get over how much he felt like and i begin to wonder how i ever managed to carry that weight. it has made me even more determined to carry on and reach my goal ( whatever that may be).
One major achievement is that last week i went shopping for trousers, i cant seem to keep up my changing shape and am forever buying trousers at the moment. i went into my usual shop,Evans and took 2 pairs into the changing room both in a size 24 which is 3 sizes smaller than i used to wear, i tried them on did all the usual things ie breathe in them, bend over in them and not split them all of which i could do and i felt the trousers were on the tight side but fitted really well. when i took them off and was hanging them back on the hanger i glanced at the label and found that they were in fact a size 22!! i cant remember the last time i got in that size. i was SO pleased with myself and couldn't stop glowing with pride.
anyway, the highlight of my week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

thw wii fit

we have now purchased a wii fit. thought it was about time we started to get some exercise in our lives. well, i have been on it nearly everyday, Alex has been on it once!!!. I'm quite enjoying it and managed to do at least 45 mins and even break out into a heavy sweat!
my weight loss now stands at a total of 5st 5.5lb. had a bit of a downer this week as i stayed the same and Alex put on 1.5lb.think i am over it now, determined to have a good week this week.
people are still noticing my loss and i am begining to accept it more. I'm seeing people and colleagues i haven't see since i started slimming world and the first thing they comment on how much weight I've lost which is good for me as it brings it home more as they don't see me everyday.still a long way to go but but hey every journey begins with a single step............
