I managed to avoid getting Covid, which was an absolute relief!  It was actually quite a nice week.  It was nice to have my husband's company as I worked from home.  It turned in to a week watching the Tour de France, cooking nice meals and going for walks.  Well the last two things were just me, he was not well enough, but he enjoyed the food.

I walked 11.71 km last week which is just over 7 miles, so I did absolutely manage my mile a day goal average for last week.  That was about it though.  I am making steady progress towards my goals for the month, though I do need to get a move on.

I did have a surprise weight loss of four pounds this week though.  It does not feel entirely real though.

Looking Back....

So last year was not great in terms of weight loss or general health.  I did well for the first third of the year.  My weight loss was a little slow, but happening and I lost a stone but also increased my fitness hugely.  I was walking 5km at least once a week and could do 7km occasionally.  I felt great and in April made an effort to resize my wardrobe using Vinted.  I sold most of my too big clothes, sizes 28 - 32, and brought 24 and 26, with jeans in size 28.  I also future proofed it with smaller sizes of jeans and size 22 and 20 clothes.  I expected to keep losing weight and feeling great. Then we went on holiday to Italy, all inclusive. I ate all the food, three meals a day.  I had a great time and went out and about a lot.  I got an insect bite that was really nasty on my big tow on my right leg that was really nasty and I had to treat for the rest of the holiday.  I also ended up with very swollen legs from walking, the higher te...

Looking Forward....

So 2025 begins with my ears OK but rumbling.  My head feels full and stuffy and my rhinitus is in overload.  Everything is a bit glue-like.  I am ready to continue losing weight and exercising more but possibly a little stuck?  We had found the motivation before Christmas to get completely back on track.  That will remains and our diet is pretty good.  We never stopped eating well for out main meal and having left overs the next day but a few takeaways had crept in and some chocolate. My husband had gained weight too and was about 0.5 stone over his target but these tweaks mean he is likely to be back in target when we weigh next week.  He only has another 0.5lb to go. We are away in April again, with some of the same people.  It's a smaller group though, less arranged.  We are staying in a self catered flat so there will be no all you can eat buffet for breakfast, lunch and tea.  In fact, I will be doing my own breakfast and some of my ...

Vinted Shopping: The Wedding Part 2

OK so I thought I had things sorted out...  though I was leaning towards switching the two outfits around, so I wore the black trousers and purple poncho on the Saturday and the dress on the less formal Sunday.  I wanted to check though about wearing black. Black was not a huge issue but trousers it seems are.  In Poland, women just don't wear trousers to weddings.  They wear very nice dresses and high heals before switching into other shoes to dance and drink lots of vodka.  So my lovely chiffon overlay evening trousers...  just not going to cut it.  I would have been the only woman in trousers and as the Groom's Mother, just no.... Trousers would however be ok for the second day....  but my scuba dress is an issue.  The second day is a barbecue outdoors which I had not realised.  My stepson is planning on wearing shorts and a shirt because it will be hot.  So my scuba dress will be way too hot and my black trousers, well, not my c...
