Day 48 – Tuesday 13 April 2010

Went to the coast today with the kids as the weather was really lovely.  Packed up a lovely picnic for them and mum and packed up my shakes, humous and sticks and took a bar with me in case of emergencies lol.  Had our picnic on the beach and it was great – not quite sure how I got sand in my celery so quickly tho!!!!!

Day 49 – Wednesday 14 April 2010

Yey – no work this week.  Having 3 days off to spend a bit of mummy and Ben time whilst Lily is at nursery.  Went to the cinema this afternoon to see Nannie McPhee – no one even saw me mix my shake whilst the film was on – result!  Celeb Slim is very portable.  Treat Ben to a McDonalds after the film and had my half a bar snack with a black coffee.  McDonalds don’t do decaf and I can really tell a difference now when I have a coffee with caffeine in – its like a head rush and I’ve got to say that it does irritate me slightly that McDonalds don’t do decaf ;0(.

Day 50 – Thursday 15 April 2010

Struggled a bit today with hunger.  Think it is probably because we’ve not done very much and spent the whole day at home playing board games and stuff.  My mind was obviously not occupied as I was craving some toast!  Didn’t happen though!  I’ve not got this far to let myself down now.  Only another 10 days and 2 weigh ins left. 

Day 51 – Friday

Managed to get my butt out of bed this morning to do my yoga.  Really missed doing it these last couple of days.  Lily at nursery today so me and Ben went swimming and had great fun.  I think I’m turning a little bit sad as when we were in the pool and the wave machine started up, the waves were crashing against us and I was actually trying to do tummy crunches against the waves.  Oh boy! How sad am I?  Had a lovely tea tonight as well – fillet steak and stir fry yummy.

Day 52 – Saturday 17 April 2010

Don’t feel like I’ve done much exercise this week with the kids being off school and no work so got up at 6.30 am and went swimming – 60 lengths and was home by 8.15 am, yes – on a Saturday – and yes of my own free will.  Such a beautiful day today going to the park with Ben and Lily.  Had a fab time in the park playing in the sand and water.  Lily fell asleep on the way home so managed to get the grass cut – boy it was hard work being the first cut but great exercise!!

Day 53 – Sunday 18 April 2010

Well, at the park yesterday I nipped to the loo and in the loos they had a full length mirror and I can honestly say that I was shocked when I looked at myself – I kind of walked past and then stepped back to have another look.  It’s the first time I can actually say that I think I can tell I’ve lost weight.  I have a bust and not a bust/belly combined into one and I also have a neck and shoulders again instead of being a cube.  Pete took a photo of me which I have attached if anyone is interested.  The first one was took just over 7 weeks ago when I found out I’d won a place on the challenge and the other was took a few minutes ago.  Can you see a difference???

Day 54 – Monday 19 April 2010 – WEIGH IN DAY

Week 7 weigh in this morning and lost another 0.7kg or 1.54lbs which I am really pleased about.   That takes my total weight loss to 22.6lb altogether – not bad in 7 weeks even if I say so myself.  Gonna give this last week a really good go now though and see what I can achieve wey hey.  I’ve lost over a stone and a half in 7 weeks – I cant stop telling myself cos I still don’t really believe it lol.  Anyone should try this plan it really does work – if I can do it anyone can. ;0)

Till next week and the last weigh in of the Celebrity Slim 8 Week Challenge …….Luv Karen xxx
