Hot Bod continues..or does it

Foiled......the exercise bike has given up the ghost! Only a month after buying it too!

Still not to be deterred we took it back to Argos and they replaced it :) I also joined the Special K diet and it's brilliant! They give you meal plans, tools for weigh-ins, buddies, exercise logs etc. So far I have lost 6lbs so in combination with the exercise it's working :)

I have also been knitting rather a lot lately. When I was off convalescing I found a BINBAG full of wool that I had inherited from my Nan and I had seen a really cool knitted blanket in an article in Good Housekeeping and thought "I can make that" so I have been :) I'll post pictures of the finished article...in several more months :)



It was The Nanny's birthday on the 22nd and she LOVES bling so I made her this card and got this as a flower pot (it was actually a tea light holder). She's very hard to buy for as she already has everything (like most older people) but I think she liked it :)

Operation Hot Bod

Operation Hot Bod has commenced :)

Realisation hit that I was going to Ibiza in 2 months for a friends hen party and that I was going to be the chubbiest there so I'd better do something about it! I was watching The Biggest Loser on TV and thought well if they can lose 4-5 stone in 7 weeks I can definitely lose a stone and tone up!

The first week I have lost 2 lbs (4lbs overall now). I have been on the cycling machine every morning, have done dips/push-ups and crunches along with my morning back exercises so have toned up a bit too. I have also started making sure I drink more water and have been taking my make-up off before bed and moisturising properly. Oh and body brushing :)

It must be working as my friend asked last night if I had lost more weight recently as I was looking a lot slimmer :) Hopefully will also add swimming in next week too :)
