My quads are killing me. I’ll admit, I worked pretty hard at spinning yesterday morning and then went straight into the swimming pool afterward, but holy cow, my quads are killing me.
Jenni keeps saying, “you should feel it in your quads,” while we’re doing runs, and boy, do I ever.
I also feel it for the next day or two.
I love my spinning class so much.
ANYWAY, moving swiftly on.
I lost a pound this week! Considering that I didn’t track a single thing – I know, I know. I’m a terrible, horrible person, and it could have really backfired, but I was keeping track in my head… sort of… just not on paper – I’m pretty okay with losing a pound, really. It could have been better, but considering what I just said, it could have been a hell of a lot worse, too.
I need to go to ASDA and get in some more fruit, because I pretty much ate through 10 apples in three days because I’m having sugar cravings up the yin-yang and apples help.
(Cripps Pinks and Braeburns, OH YEAH.)
Gillian still isn’t back from holiday, so we had a stand-in leader tonight, a lovely lady called Holly, who told us her own success story. She joined Weight Watchers online last year and lost 4 or 5 stone within the year, and is now a leader.
And it’s not often I get to link to people in Weight Watchers, so here:

(Holly’s Before & After)
And yes, her hair IS that short and fabulous and platinum almost-white. It was, actually, the first thing I really said: I said, “Wow, I love your hair; it’s fabulous!”
And while she was weighing me (“Somebody screwed your card up!” to which I replied, “Yeah, I had to fix my own, but I forgot about the actual members’ card.” – somebody had filled in the wrong amount lost one week and it had followed on week after week from there) she explained how she had been a hair stylist, so she knew how to do it herself.
Awesome.
Anyway, so, as I was saying, she told us her story, and it rung so true with myself: overweight from a young age, ate her feelings, moved around a lot.
(All right, we moved around, but it was always within the same areas. Somehow, it still managed to break up friendships with kids that we lived near!)
After the meeting was over, I was telling her how it felt like I wasn’t going anywhere with my weight loss, because I’ve been a member since February now and I’m still only 5lb (6lb now!) now, and it’s fluctuating so badly, and how, when I was living in Ireland, while I had my bad weeks, my not-so-bad weeks were a heck of a lot better than what I’m getting now.
What I mean is: I never got stuck at around 6lbs lost. It was closer to 4st lost, not 0.5st lost. ANYWAY.
She suggested I make a list, things I want to achieve through my weight loss, or after my weight loss, or even during my weight loss, and I thought of my Advtanges Response Card (which, by the way, got ruined during the house move) and then I thought of the Beck Diet Solution again, and maybe it’s time to pick it up again.
But rest assured, my next blog entry will have a new list, a new Advantages Response List in it.
For the minute, however, I just have to hope that I can convince my parents to run me to ASDA tomorrow so that I can get apples and soup. I’m all out of both, I think.
