In terms of weight loss…no change. But what’s new? I am at the stage now where I think I could go a week without food and I wouldn’t lose any weight. It’s just not shifting no matter what I do.

I also don’t see or feel any change in my muscles/tone which is a shame as I had expected to, but my other half commented that my arms are looking much thinner so maybe it’s just that I can’t see it? I really should have taken my measurements before I started — the last logged ones I have are a few months old.

Any way, I shall continue with the challenge and update you at the end

I am about half way through the 30 day challenge so far and I do really enjoy it, the games are fun but also knackering and I am feeling the benefits.

There’s no way it would provide enough of a workout on it’s own though, so I have been having 2 sessions per day — one on the elliptical and one on Ea Sports.

I have still not lost any more weight but I am going to see it through until the end of the 30 days.

If it still hasn’t worked I am really at a loss as to what to do next, I think I may have to start experimenting with eliminating things from my diet to see if it has an effect…aka a few weeks of drinking only water, a few weeks of completely cutting out all salt, a few weeks on low/no carbs etc.

Oh well, hopefully tomorrow I will feel better. I am now very eager to get down to 10.10 for a total of 5 stone lost

The migraine continued for a few more days, so last night was the first time I worked out — I did an hour on the Wii Fit. Tonight I will get on my elliptical for the first time in many days. I hate working out, really, even after 2 years I still do…but I have to admit I have missed it.

I did have some good news (or, a good experience more like) yesterday though when I went shopping for a wedding outfit — it was so nice to be able to just pick up items, dresses and fancy tops and skirts I wouldn’t normally even consider, try them on and like them — I was discarding things because they weren’t weddingy enough, or because the weren’t bright enough etc, rather than because they didn’t fit or I didn’t like the way I looked in them.

I came home with two size 14 items, and one size 12.

Size 12

I have not been in a size 12 since I was a teenager

The weather had started to get better, spring had sprung and winter was gone — so I went out and treated myself to new walking boots and a few hoodies in preparation. I almost got some new running shoes as well as my old ones are getting a little on the worn side, but decided that I would try hold off for a little while to see if I could get a killer bargain on some — I had done enough splurging for one week.

Of course on the day I had decided to start, the weather had turned nasty, really nasty.

High winds, pouring rain and freezing cold. It is like being back in the worst of the winter weather this week, isn’t that just typical luck?

I suppose ultimately it doesn’t matter, the weather will come good again soon enough and then I will be fully prepared with my new gear — it’s just I find it difficult to motivate myself into outside exercise so when I am ready for it and then can’t do it it is awfully frustrating!

I will just have to stick with my elliptical and Wii Fit this week, I am going to attempt to do two hours each day again this week. I did it last week and was initially really disappointed because I had not lost any weight, but when I weighed in again last night I had lost a pound…so will now definitely repeat the effort this week, I would be thrilled if I could lose 1 pound per week
