Great start to the year - my laptop died, so expect even more poorly edited posts than before!
What does the title mean? Well, because my blogging is random at best, I never got around to writing about my combined weight shedding/writing my first book project that I started in August.
Here is a catch up:
Between August 13th and the beginning of October I managed to shift about 19 pounds - yay! - but then came the Hamstring Hiatus, a terrible time during which my hamstring (and I) suffered the consequences of being slightly overzealous during a split stretch.
Don't do it kids, it's not worth it :(
Long story short, I have had no slimming progress since then (and put on 2 pounds over Christmas - booo) but have just had the all clear from my Physio that I can start doing proper, non-rehab-type workouts again, woohoo!! I do have to be careful though, no jumping, so no HIIT, until the pain is gone :(
I actually miss burpees.....
Writing-wise I have only done bits and bobs, basic outlines, character breakdowns, etc, but it's coming along and I fully intend to be finished in the next 6 months.
Actually, that goes for both aspects of my project.
I'm aiming to shift a healthy 2 pounds a week, so I should be 3 stone lighter by the end of June, and to write something, anything, every single day. Even if it's just a sentence.
So now to the starting stats.
I weighed 14 st 3 lbs in August. I didn't take any measurements but I was a UK 14/16
I now weigh 13st exactly, am about a 14 and have the stats:
Waist: 34
Hips: 44
Thigh: 25
Calf: 15
I may start posting food diaries, pics, etc, for accountability.
- Activity - 5 Factor Fitness preparation week day 1.
- Breakfast - Good Hemp protein powder mixed in water (bleurgh, will be trying other ways with this soon) sliced pear and berries.
- Lunch - chicken, slice of cheese with cannellini beans, spinach and peppers
- Supper - chicken, steamed new potatoes and veg with butter
Now, to follow this epic post, an EOTD!

Please excuse the lighting, I had to use my bathroom again because there's been absolutely no sun here today!
