I realise that I’ve seemingly jumped straight from week 8 to week 10.  Unfortunately, this is not because I’ve invented time travel.  I was late posting my week 8 results and was unable to attend my weigh in last week.  Anyway, here’s how I’m doing at the moment…

Weight loss:    2.5lb

Current weight:    11st 13lb

Weight loss since start:    7lb

Lbs to go to reach next target:    0lb

What’s gone well?

After feeling pretty unmotivated and rubbish for the past couple of weeks, I was glad to get back on track this week.  I was even more pleased with my result as I’ve now into the next stone bracket and need to set my next mini-goal.

What I think has really helped me this week is getting back to my blog and social media and listening to the support from people on the same journey as I am.  It has also helped to not beat myself up about having set myself back on my weight loss journey and instead free myself to concentrate on moving forwards.

What’s been difficult?

I still haven’t had time to have a look at my new app yet! I will definitely explore and make use of it this week.

The week ahead

I’m going to make more time for writing my blog and reading other people’s.  I also need to think about what to how to reward myself for reaching my mini-goal of getting into the next stone bracket.  I’m also going to have a think about how to reward myself for reaching my next target which will take me to my 5% goal.

As part of looking at my blog, I’m going to review my targets as they’ve already become a bit out of sync with reality – but hey, as someone wise once said, life’s what happens when you’re busy making other plans!

Thanks for reading.

PS If anyone’s got any ideas for cheap-as-chips rewards, please share as I’m trying to tighten my belt money-wise as well as waist-wise at the moment.
