This week has had its ups and downs. I had a temperature from Tuesday to Thursday and then on Friday I woke up with a bad chest and lost voice. I was tempted to crawl back to bed but I battled through it.

I still went swimming which I am no concentrating on my technique rather than counting my lengths. I have kept up the stepper and upped my minutes on the exercise bike. I need tips how to prevent a sore bottom!! I have a gel seat but it still really hurts.

My weight loss up to last Friday is 33lb but I officially get weighed at my doctors tomorrow for my 12 week check in.

I am over the moon today as I tried on my white linen trousers which would not go past my hips 12 weeks ago, I can now get them on without undoing them. People are finally starting to notice that I have lost weight and its a great feeling.

It is ten days till I go on my holidays and I am really hoping to get to my 3 stone holiday goal.

I hope everyone else is having a good week.

Here starts another week.

This week I am feeling very positive. I have moved my new best friend into my bedroom and I am trying to cover several miles of cross country with him. Well for those that have not guessed, yes I have an exercise bike in my room. I am hoping I continue to be friends with him and don't fall out and end up hanging my clothes on him.

My other new friend is my daughters Davina stepper, she manages a 40 minute session every day. I thought I would start steady and do 20 minutes. In I walked with my two tins of beans, put the music channel on the tv and began to step whilst doing arm curls with my beans. After 10 minutes I was huffing and puffing. 20 minutes seemed to take forever. I looked like I had stepped out of a sauna when I finished. I am now up to 30 mins every other day, it still kills but getting easier.

My weekly swimming is improving and I am still loving it.

People at work have been eating chocolates and I have resisted, I have had great will power this week.

Some of you may of heard me talk about myfitnesspal it is an online site where you keep track of what you have eaten and input your exercise which gives you extra calories. It is also an online community of people trying to lose weight or just shape up, you can add friends and they help encourage you. It also has an app for most mobile phones.

Someone posted this picture this week!!

This definitely has stopped me eating rubbish as I do not want my MumTum to get quite this big.

I have joined a biggest looser challenge on myfitnesspal so I have to start getting weighed every Friday not just once a month, lets see what Friday brings!!

I hope everyone else has had a good week, and I am sending you all my positive vibes if your week has not been so good. Lets hope we all have a great week
