2nd Week and I am still here!!

Hello Everyone,

I am at the end of the 2nd week now, and I Lost 2.2lbs this week, bringing my total loss to 6.8lbs just .2lbs shy of 1/2 a stone.

2nd Week 15th Nov. 201lbs (91.1kgs)

Hurray I am at the halfway mark.  My goal was 10lbs and I have lost 6.8lbs so I can do 3.2lbs in 15 days.

This week I added proper exercises to my routine.  I have been doing a lot of walking but to lose weight even - after a work-out.  Weight bearing exercises - where you carry weights are the best, they also protect against osteoporosis (broken bones in later life when we become fragile)

Previous week
I did start on the Kettle bells last week using an 8kg (17.6lbs)russian solid metal one and  this  video  The first session was a killer, I kept taking breaks after every swing of the bell and I spent more time on the sofa taking breaks than I did on the exercise programme, I must have hit the pause button after every frame!
At the end of the session where I struggled through 3 out of the 8 workouts, I was convinced that I had the wrong weight kettlebell and was going to buy a 5kg(11lbs), but my reluctance to spend more money coupled with a bit of procrastination meant it did not happen.

I gave myself a day's rest and went back, It was worse than the first time as I gave up after the first workout, this time I blamed it on my back. I started thinking of other exercises I could be doing and took a 2 day rest.

The third time it was much better I was able to do a whole workout of just under 4 minutes without a break, this inspired me to go further or dig deeper and in my last session I was able to do 5 workouts...So persistence does pay!

This Week
I shall be improving on the exercises and will aim to do six workouts out of the eight on the video in each of my exercise sessions and I want to break that 200lbs mark too.  My food has been hit or miss, I have had no temptations this week, but my eating has not been regular as sometimes I do not eat till late, so I want to balance that out so my body does not go into starvation mode - Then it will cling on to all the fat in my body and I do not want that!

Thats a wrap folks, remember any questions, just drop them into the comment box below, thank you very much for your support...
