WI week 3 - happy dance!

Well its Monday so that is weigh in day!

Fully intended to go swimming today at 6.30 but only woke up at 6,15 so not enough time so started some cards to finish Jackie's present. Thought about doing the dance mat aerobics but far too noisy at 6.30 am!

Bought an exercise video from ebay - hope it comes tomorrow!

So after school had a huge need to DO something that would give me some activity points. Jackie and Daniel were up for a walk in Ogden as well so we did that. we took the more scenic route which includes a hill I usually go no where near! Thanks Jackie for dragging me there! Took this fantastic shot of Daniel while we were there.

Steven was late home - thought I would miss the leader doing my weigh in. We were like ships as he drove up the drive I drove off! I just made the leader to weigh in. I have lost another 2.5lbs! that makes 10lbs in 3 weeks. Very happy. Been on esource and the ladies have been very supportive there! May well post my blog details some day there! I hope that I can inspire others as much as they do me! One lady got to 50 tonight which is fab! Just realised I am 20% there! I think I am over 1/3 way to 10% as well!

One lady on the e source suggested doing a list of the things we are aiming for when we get to goal. I cannot quite visualise that at the moment but may be doing it will give me a glimpse.

Being at Goal I am hoping for:
Being able to walk up and down to school - no problem.
Going for a run in the morning.
Swimming a mile in 1/2hr.
Taking Emma for a walk in the Dales for days out rather than sitting by a river!
More energy - to burn!
No painful knees on the stairs
a bath in our bath which i currently think is narrow!
bikini?!
comfortable on plane to Florida
no swollen ankles when i fly - or 8 days into the holiday
running around Disney not plodding
Clothes that I can choose what I want in the colours i want rather than what fits me
Maybe getting rid of glasses - do I hide behind them?!


Think that's it at the moment - will revisit in a month!
