Week 12 – End
Hi everyone.
Sorry about the lack of posting this week, it has been pretty non eventful.
This week I did LOTS of work outside in the garden, a couple of walks, Zumba and Balance. So not too athletic.
Weight: 123.5kg
Measurements:
Bust: 124cm
Waist: 115cm
Hips: 137cm
Upper Arm: 44cm
Thigh: 71cm
No change to last week. Which is okay. I have managed to maintain things, but it does go to show what the extra exercise does!
I do have a couple of sins to confess. I did consume a couple of choccy fish (and they were so good too), and I did some baking for Alex and made chocolate chip biscuits, and I did eat a few of them too. Back on the wagon next week!
I have a new goal – I would like to lose a total of 10kg by Christmas. I figure since I have been losing an average of 500g per week this is a realistic goal. More would be good, but my track record is not so good (bring back those first couple of weeks where the weight just melted off!).
Next week I am resetting my routine. I will be getting up at 7am to go for a walk – I may need to sleep in my clothes so I actually do get up (and then doing half an hour of cleaning after that), and then I will be doing some extras after work, e.g Aquarobics. I am also trying out AquaZumba on Thursday morning. And I will also be trying to find my flippers so I can do some pool zooming. I also have an appointment at the gym on Wednesday night to look at doing some targeted exercises (e.g. my bat wing arms). 10kg here I come!!
And now, a recipe for delicious Bran Muffins:
2c bran
1 c plain flour
2t baking powder
1t baking soda
1t cinnamon
1t mixed spice
3/4c lite condensed milk
1/2c warm water
1 egg, beaten
2T golden syrup
3 apples, grated
1/2c sultanas
Preheat oven to 200degC. Prepare muffin tins (this makes 12).
In a bowl, put bran, flour, baking powder and soda, cinnamon and spice. Stir. Add sultanas. Stir. Make a well in the middle.
In another small bowl, put in condensed milk, water, egg and golden syrup. Stir to combine. Pour into bran mixture, and add in grated apple. Stir to just combine, place in muffin tray and bake for about 15 minutes, until lovely and golden.
Yum!
Hello, Oh dear but like you say, at least you didn’t put on any weight. On the ipositive side, tomorrow is the start of new month and a new much stricter regime to shed thoise kilos. I think that 10 kg by Christmas is a really good goal and should be easily achieveable to give us all a lovely surprise. Did you find the pliers and fiix the skipping rope yeterday. I realised yesteday that I have been pounding the pavements for nine years now and lost 15 kg over time but have to work at it every day to keep things as they are. Keep it up and no more eating from the dark side!!!!
Love mum
