Laughing at myself here. I was having a clearout and found a Slendertone belt I had bought off ebay ages ago lol. Must have taken a notion to that after Maddie was born. Anyway, I've just rigged it up and am wearing it as I do the housework. Not sure if that's an effective of it, but I'll give it a go.
There are three pads that give a blast of something every few seconds and apparently cause my abdominal muscles to workout. It feel like the TENS machine I used with both my labours, but thankfully without the pain. It's a bizarre sensation, not sure if it's actually doing anything and don't know how long I need to keep using it to find that out LOL. Apart from the big plastic control on the front I could wear it under clothes quite discretely, but I think if I went into work with this bulge at the front the gossip would fly LOL. So I'll give it a blast at home and see what happens.
Been using the Wii quite a bit, and we're definitely getting the fit board when it comes into stock. I know that's not a massive amount of exercise, but it's stopping me sitting still. Also planning to get the personal trainer game and feel with the goals they set it will be something I can stick to as I'll see some progress.
anyway, going to Bzzz off now and clean the bathroom LOL

Had a couple of days off, been lovely to be around the girls for a bit extra, they are so funny!
Went swimming with them yesterday, which doesn't mean that I go any exercise, but they had fun. M is so bold, she was heading off to the deep end without a backwards glance, A, on the other hand, wanted her feet firmly on the floor, had to really coax her, and that's despite all the swimming lessons. She's just not a water baby.
Looked in the mirror and felt rubbish, so heavy and blobby, also didn't help that a Facebook friend posted a pic of her in a teeny weeny bikini and there wasn't an ounce of flab. Not fair!
Weight still the same, but not gone up, funk is lifting slowly, but still feel like I'm wading in treacle a bit.
On the plus side got a new mobile phone deal and we're getting a free Wii! Yay, so am going to invest in a Wii fit and make the most of that.

Come on spring
This funk isn't lifting, AF has been and gone and I still want to punch someone LOL.
I need a good nights sleep and some daylight.
Been ok ish food wise, had some kiddie sweets today, but avoided chocolate etc. Will do some more stepping tonight, it's getting easier, finally!!!!
Not in the mood to write much, think I'll go and step away the grumps now....

Blah
Having one of those days where I just feel blah. I did lose another 1lb, so that's good, but I'm on a downer today. Which is always crappy when it comes at a weekend, seems like such a waste. A day like that at work seems ok because I've got work to keep me busy. At home, when trying to do fun things, i'm just so not in the mood. AF must be around the corner.
Luckily I haven't fallen into the eating trap, but not been motivated to exercise. I've done the stepper about 4 evenings. Not done yoga yet.
Calum upstaged me by doing 2000 steps last night, so I felt like a real loser with my 400. :-(
Monday again tomorrow, doubt I'll manage my mini goal of !0lbs off by the end of Feb, but maybe 5lbs off is actually achievable.

Stepper
Put the stepper together, which was very straightforward and have done 200 reps on it. My heart rate was up and felt like I was really working. Till I checked the calories burned - 28.4!!! LOL What would that be? A carrot?
Ah well, it's a start. I need to get the habit going. Hopefully get my fat thighs toned a bit more. Also better than the rebounder right now as less danger of getting a black eye with a stray bouncing boob. Will try for 200 reps a night this week and then step up next week. Easy to do, took around 5 mins, so no excuse really not to do it.
Next step yoga, will do that tomorrow night (Lorraine if you're readin - nag me!)

New month
Well my new scales are now a daily feature in my life, and true to them shocking me I have lost 1lb since buying them! Yay! although yesterday was my daughter's 6th birthday, so I did indulge in cake, but I'm quite determined to get going again today.
Put together my new stepper (another bargain) and will install it in front of the TV later, even if I do 10 mins of that a day it's going to do some good.
Trying to get myself out of the "fat" minset, I'm sure that's one of the big hurdles to overcome. I saw a skit and top I'd like for the summer, so keeping that in mind, I need to be slimmer to wear them, I'm aiming to release the slim me from within! Positive thinking, believing I am on my way to a new me and not making excuses, that's the start of February!
