A Good Week

This week has been a good proving ground for myself. I've managed to lose 4 lbs whilst being busy at work, seeing friends over the weekend (and surviving take-aways) and my birthday!

I kept up with nearly all my workouts (I missed my Zumba class, but I had a sickly husband and a MOUNTAIN of housework chores calling).

I got a new recipe book... Nom Nom Paleo. It's completely awesome and I've already started trying recipes from it. There is definitely no compromising flavour with any of these dishes!
Plus it's a super cute book, with loads of photos and cartoons. It's pretty much written for me!

Nom Nom Paleo: Food for Humans: Over 100 Nomtastic Recipes!

So here are my stats for this week! Not just the loss in weight, but some good results for my measurements too :)

So it begins...

Ok! So here are my stats for this week! This week there is nothing to compare it with as this will be my starting point (at least on here), but I have managed to lose another 1 lb.

Scary fact! You have to burn 3500 calories to lose 1 lb of body fat. That little 1 lb doesn't seem so small when you factor that in. Also, I hope I'm starting to build some muscle mass too, but my strength training workout tomorrow will be the test that theory when I see if I can complete more than 3 good form incline pushups!

For the time being this will have to be a screen capture as I can't figure out how to either insert a table or to have some kind of link to a place where I can log my stats. 

If anyone knows, please let me know! 

I hope I manage to maintain a good level of progress (especially difficult as it's my birthday this week) but I don't yet feel any dark pull of temptation for cake, so I reckon I should be able to stay on track!
