Ann's Week 4 of the Weightloss challenge

Week 4's exercise session went so quickly I couldn't believe we had worked out for an hour - just shows you that when you enjoy things the time passes so quickly. The session was a combination of everything we had worked on over the past weeks - cardio, specific areas of the body and use of equipment. I'm not aching so much now so the old body is at last getting use to exercise once again. I am definitely going to carry on with the workout sessions with the group - we are all keen to carry on and the new sessions will give me the momentum to keep going seeing them all again each week.



I'm still eating breakfast and grazing through the day where possible, my intake of water has dramatically increased. I have been using Jackie's food guidance sheets, the recipes are easy and quick, and the sweet/snack ideas have been very usefull - my cupboard now has sugarfree jellies in it - thought they were just for kids parties! But loading them with fresh fruit is making a quick and easy way of taking a healthy option to work for lunch. I haven't bought a loaf of bread in 4 weeks, when I did fancy a slice of toast, I went to the breadbin and forgot that the bread there had been there for 4 weeks and was now looking very furry - a good way of putting you off eating something I shouldn't.


I've not lost as much as I had hoped over 4 weeks, but I will keep going with the same routines, maybe in another 4 weeks I will have made a stone. Maybe its an age thing and its taken longer to shift - well thats my excuse :)


I've had a really fantastic 4 weeks completing this weightloss programme and I do feel better about myself, alot happier and motivated to do things - no longer a couch potato. Jackies is an amazing coach, she makes you feel good about yourself, she encourages and motivates, whilst working you hard, I have to thank her for getting me on the right road to sorting myself out.


Quick note: Bread has never been banned but some of the weightloss challengers decided to continue some parts of the detox week through such as keeping bread, pastas etc to a minimum and avoiding processed, high salt, sugar and fat foods.
