March SW – 60.5kg
March Start WaistM – 83cm

April SW – 58.8kg

Mini Goals April:
1. Post here every day for the rest of the month.
2. Lose 1kg in weight
3. Lose 1cm from my waist (will measure at the end of the month)

1 April – 58.8
2 April – 58.7
3 April – 58.6 – not a good night’s sleep. Does overthinking when you should be sleeping burn extra calories?
4 April – 58.5
5 April – 58.4 – weights workout yesterday. Tired today but need to do some exercise so I can earn my Friday evening wine. Swapped out some of my black coffees for mint tea and wondering if the lower caffeine intake helps with water weight.
6 April – 58.6 – Same as last week, Friday wine means weight on Saturday morning has gone up 0.2kg. Disappointing, but not unexpected.
7 April – 58.4 – only one small glass of wine last night so back to where I was a few days ago. Feeling very unmotivated at the moment.
8 April – 58.4
9 April – 58.3 – Tried W2 C25K again yesterday. My knees are complaining bitterly today.
10 April – 58.2 – just a walk yesterday. May try a stretch class at the gym this afternoon.
11 April – 58.2
12 April – 58.0 – climbed yesterday. Was tough.
13 April – DNW – away
14 April – DNW - away
15 April – 57.8 – had a great time away but not really surprised by the drop in the scales as I’m a fussy eater and the food provided meant my eating choices were limited. Didn’t feel particularly hungry whilst I was there, but now that I’m home it’s a different matter.
16 April – 57.7 – weights session yesterday. Always a bit worried that losing weight means losing muscle but seems to be okay although I’m really tired today.
17 April – 57.7 – break in the rainy weather this morning so going for a walk in the woods before the bluebells disappear.
18 April – 57.8 – hungry yesterday but ate within calories so slightly disappointed with the scales. Seem to have a bit of an irritating cough starting. Climbing today but not feeling the love.
19 April - 57.5 – no idea what my scales are doing but obviously not complaining. Climbing turned out to be better than expected though.
20 April – 57.7 – Friday night wine pattern definitely emerging.
21April – 57.7 – my irritating cough is becoming more annoying – hope it doesn't linger too long.
22 April – 57.6
23 April – 57.6 – cough is gone which is a relief, but I feel tired today. Acid reflux is bad at the moment so can’t even perk myself up with coffee.
24 April – 57.5 – reflux is subsiding with meds, huge relief. Climbing again today.
25 April – 57.3 – managed a coffee after climbing yesterday; overslept this morning; happy to see the numbers on the scales.
26 April – 57.2 – up early to bake bread; weights session planned for today and then Friday wine.
27 April – 57.3 – Friday wine uptick. Walk today and hoping the rain holds off.
28 April – 57.1 – Fridays weights and yesterdays long walk finally catching up with me and I overslept this morning. Today will be a lazy day trying to eat mindfully.
29 April – 57.1 – climbing this morning. Sun is shining for a change which is a bonus.

NSV – Waist now in the healthy range. I can now struggle into the walking shorts I hung on the back of my bathroom door as incentive AND even fasten them up! Wouldn’t like to have to sit down in them though – maybe by the end of next month?
