New year

Yesterday I went back to the gym for the first time in 2 months. About blinking time too, I've been so crap lately avoiding it with excuses of cold icy mornings. I had to decrease some of my weights, especially for my inner thinghs. I had noticed that my inner thighs looked smaller and now I think that I have lost some of the muscle rather than the fat - not good.

Yesterday's gym visit was the only activity points I earned all week last week. Normally I earn 2 points a day walking to and from the train station but being off work meant too much sitting around. I think partly as a result I gained 0.25lb this week. Only a tiny gain as I did stick to my points all week, but maybe the lack of activity showed.

I don't really believe in new year resolutions, (I've never met anyone who really stuck to one!) but I do have some objectives for the year. With Christmas successfully negotiated I really feel that goal is within my sights. Only 1 stone 5.75lb to go. So my main objective is not so much to get to goal as I feel sure that I will sometime in 2010, but rather to start exercising more and increasing the muscle while I lose the fat.

My mother in law was surprised last week that I still wanted to lose more weight. I'm just a few lbs off the top of my healthy BMI, but I do want to drop another dress size, but I want to be toned at goal, not still flabby. I don't mind if it takes me longer to get to goal if I can be happy with the end result. After all no one can see the weight on your scales, they only see your figure.

If I can reduce my body fat percentage hopefully I will lose more off my bust too... still dreaming!

So it's back to the walking, back to the gym and I'll see if I can go more than once a week. Maybe it's time to try something else too. I feel happy enough with my body that I could brave swimming or a class if I can find something to suit. We'll see!
