Vanishing act!

Oh my goodness. It's been way too long since I last blogged, or so it seems! Work is very busy at the minute, and I've been applying for my master's degree which took a fair bit of doing. Obviously Noah takes up all my spare time, and rightly so, therefore any "extras" I do are done when Noah's in bed... That's not leaving me much time to blog/work/write/exercise etc. I apologise if my blogging is weekly rather than daily; this will probably be the case until the end of exam season. Life has just passed me by!

I am currently blogging from the recumbent exercise bike at the gym... I have 11.5 minutes of time to write!

The diet is going well. I've found a steady weight loss of 1-2lbs a week, which I'm really pleased with. I want the weight to come off slowly and steadily so it stays off. Weight watchers' recipes are the way forward, and this plan is now second nature.

I found my measuring tapes from when I lost my 6 stone (2011; pre-Noah). My waist is the same size again, as is my bust, so I'm really happy about that. Where the differences seem to be, and therefore my problem areas, are my arms (bingo wings, anyone?) and my hips/bum/thighs area. I am still 5 inches bigger here (having lost 3 already) than I was in December 2011. My arms are 1.5inches bigger. I'm quite pleased I've discovered this as it's definitely re-focused my attention. I will take into account that for many women their body shapes change after having kids, but I'll try to get as much off here as I can. Do any of you lovely people have any top tips for shrinking these hard to shrink places?

I'm going to rant now... There is a girl in the gym wearing false eyelashes? Seriously?! You're in the gym, love! Surely falsies would sweat off your face? Bloody hell!

I'm down to my last minute on the bike. Going to go and do some weights, then get home to make tea! Meatballs in a tomato sauce with salad tonight! 7 Weight Watchers' points. Yum!

I'll catch up with my weight details tomorrow after weigh in!

Take care,
