Firstly, my group that I run in a Saturday is now open on 2 sessions. 9am and 11am very exciting having just under 100 fabulous members.
Last Saturday I had an amazing group, for 2 reasons.
The first was the fact that losing a pound got me to a weight of 13st 12lb, and I got my half stone award at last!
This was made extra special because it was presented to me by Fran, one of my long standing (possibly long suffering) social team members. I could stop smiling.
Then we had our group Couple Of The Year 2014 competition. We had 3 nominations. A couple affectionately known as mum and dad, the 'newly weds' and the third option, who went on to win, was the lovely Amy.
Amy joined my group the day I first opened my doors. She's now part of my social team and a great friend. She was a mum of 2 and it was her dream to have a third child with her husband. That was her reason for joining me. Her gorgeous little boy turns 1 in April. However, Amy's story doesn't stop there as a miracle has blessed her and her family and a second baby is on its way. Baby 'Lamby' is due to join us towards end of May.
Throughout all of this Amy has continued to come to group and has also showed it is possible to control your weight whilst having a happy, healthy pregnancy. That's why she was nominated, although I'm not sure what the guys at head office will think!
On Monday I was suddenly struck down with illness. My throat was very sore an swollen and I could hard talk or drink. I put it down to tonsillitis and got an early night. I woke up Tuesday in excruciating pain. I had slept for 13 hours and felt exhausted, no work for me.
Wednesday I headed to the doctors, a kidney infection. Now I am on super strength anti biotics and pain killers. I feel yuk and today missed running my group. Another Consultant was very supportive and ran the group for me, but I felt sad not being there.
NEVER in my life have I lost my appetitie, this week is a first. I dragged myself to weigh in on Friday morning. Another 4.5lbs off, total loss 11.5lbs now.
I feel very conscious that great loss is down to being poorly, so straight back on plan when I can.
It's been an amazing few weeks, am praying for a maintain at my next weigh in, a loss of 2.5lbs would blow me away and get me my stone!
Can I do it?
Check back Wednesday and find out!!
