Losing Weight to be Fit and Fabulous

I got a fright the other day when I weighed myself as I hadn't done it in awhile.  I was 169lbs, which was a shock to me, I have never been this heavy before, even when I was pregnant with my daughters.  So I decided that it is now or never.  I started cutting down on sugary treats and pop and became more active.  Today I weighed my self and I was 166.4lbs, which means I'm already over a couple lbs down already.  I have took some photos for a before picture and here they are.

My aim for the next 30 days is to combine the 30 day squat challenge and the 30 AB challenge.  Hopefully after the 30 days I will be down to 160lbs, well this is my aim.  So today I have to do 50 squats, 15 sit-ups, 5 crunches, 5 leg raises and a 10s plank.  This should be easy enough.  Here is the links to the challenges I am doing. 30 day ABS challenge http://goodbyebabylon.tumblr.com/image/49370797359 and the 30 day squat challengehttp://lindahaukaas.blogg.no/trening.html.  I hope other people will join in and try and get fit and fabulous with me.

A little Shorty

Only a short one today I'm afraid. I haven't done much today as it was my eldest ones first day back at school.

I have kept to my diet today though, so I have had no pop or sweets today. I did way myself this morning and I have only lost half a pound. I'm going to try harder this week and see if I can lose a little more then this next week.

I also started back at college this week which I'm really happy about. We are doing manicures and I'm really enjoying it. I love learning all these new skills bit I'm unsure whether to start a YouTube channel with what I am learning.  It's just a thought at this point.

Bye, bye for now
