Well how have I been doing in Spain on my 'Shapeup' Programme? Emmm.....okay...I have been swimming almost every day....water treading (and kicking like mad!); breast stroke, kicking about in the sea.......and it felt soooo good! Then of course there were the shopping trips with Alex and I managed to walk the full length of Torrevieja Pier ONCE with Robert and Alex....when Dean joined us I left him to accompany Robert on the Pier walk - I had shopping to do!!
Now I have come back to our lovely predictable UK summer weather.....it started raining as we arrived outside of Stansted at mid day and has not stopped since.......I am not complaining though - it is quite refreshing now that I have enjoyed a lovely summer holiday - how do people keep going without a sun break? Imagine summer camping in the UK this week.........what do you do all day long???
Anyway - not to be distracted from my programme - I am 'stepping it up' now......5 days out of every 7 I need to step out 10,000 steps and every day I need to aim to eat only 1250 calories......
Now - the 5 days stepping should allow for a couple of long working days when I could be too tired or lacking motivation to keep going........and the 1250 calories means that over a week I want to save approx. 7000 calories of my normal 'diet' and that should equate to 2lbs weight loss each week.......however, on the difficult days (visitors; parties etc) I need to adjust calories in the days after (but all within the 7 day cycle)!!
So? Make sense? Do you believe in me to know that I can do this? I do and that is really what matters (have to admit that my two cynical family members who know me best don't believe in me but maybe Dean does!!!)
Talk later....take care!!
