Weigh in

I'm going to start this blog with an admission. I didn't post a weigh in post last week because I had put on weight again. Last week I put on 3lbs :-( but on the plus side, I went for an amazing night out with wee Noms as almost like a final blow out.

So I start this post weighing 19st 3lbs :-( Boo!! But today, I did weigh in and I lost 5lbs!!!! Woop woop.

Stats
Last week: 19st 3lbs (269lbs)
Current weigh: 18st 12lbs (264lbs)
Lost 5lbs
Weight to go: 8st 12lbs (124lbs)

I also discovered a new fitness DVD this week. It's by Jillian Michaels and is called Shed and Shred. Amazing! I forgot how much I love the buzz of hard exercise. I'm going to get a couple of stones off and go to the circuit type training that I've spoken about in past posts.

Not a big blog this week, not a lot has happened this week. Maybe something exciting will happen over the course of this week......

So on Sunday it's our 12th wedding anniversary (aaawwww!).  A few wee fun facts for you about 12th Wedding Anniversaries & 24 November. I like doing shit like this.

So what’s been happening

I wanted to do a brief summary of what the last few years have been for me & us So after my 3rd miscarriage my world just fell apart. I had no idea who I was anymore. I wasn’t a mother with a live baby in her arms and I wasn’t someone who wasn’t having babies and concentrating on her career. I LONGED for a baby, it consumed my every thought but so did the fear of having a 4th miscarriage. I looked into every option available, adoption, surrogacy, you name it and I’ve looked into it. I was looking at friends and figuring out if they’d carry a baby for us. Actual surrogacy is incredibly expensive, like thousands and thousands of pounds. Also the law surrounding it in Scotland is crap! There is a 6 week period after the baby is born that the birth mother can change their mind and take the baby back. You then have to get into the whole court situation. Adoption is a long drawn out process, it takes 12+ months and they get into every aspect of your life. I totally understand tha...

Yoga vs Pilates

Image
I posted on Facebook about a week or so ago which was the preferred class, Pilates or Yoga. The response was very much 50/50.  So I decided to try them both and see what I thought.  Yoga It was the first of the classes that I tried early on a Sunday morning. I was in a really open mind about it. The other people were nice and very welcoming to the class. The instructor took time to find out about me, any niggles, illness etc and explained about only doing what I was able to do. She said she would correct me on my form and keep me right and mostly not to worry. All positives. The class itself though, hmmmm not sure. I think it's one of these classes that you will eventually see results in unlike the classes I normally do where I sweat a lot or feel the muscles the day after. The relaxation bit at the end was completely wasted on me. I'm physically incapable of relaxing. Pilates The things I had heard from friends about Pilates was more what I was looking for in ...
