Two steps forward, one step back

20th Aug
76.0kg
After getting to 73.9kg I found it impossible to lose any more. Then I went to Adelaide and all the teas and dinners out made life fun but not so good for losing weight :)
I came back at about 76.7kg.
DH and I are determined if not exactly restrained. We are trying clean eating which leaves out the sugar and nasty fats. We are working on it together which is great. DH is trying to increase the amount of fibre he eats which suits me.
We have gone two weeks now without empty kilojoules.
I have increased my exercise. For 12 months I have done 6 days a week of yoga, stretching and weights. I felt I needed more so started to walk/jog to the end of the street as well for 10 mins. I have now changed the weights routine to make it more intense and will probably put the yoga and stretching in front of the weights each day and then do the walk/jog. All up about 70 mins in the morning. I may need two rest days but I will play it by ear.
I bought Oxygen magazine and love it. It had the new weights routines that I am now following and lots of diet and exercise info.
We continue to educate ourselves - Dr Oz is good - and we will one day be healthy and at a healthy weight.

Cheers,
Val
