Day 216: Back to my trusty scales!

So in two weeks in Gloucestershire, this is what happened: - I started Insanity for one week, but in the 2nd week we had friends staying over and then my parents returned, so it wasn't suitable to be doing Insanity in the house - The hay had to be baled, which was very tough exercise - I always had fruit and yoghurt for breakfasts, but my lunches and dinners wavered depending on who was staying with us, etc. Now that I am back in my home, I feel confident that I should be able to do Insanity most, if not all, days. I'm going to try and do it in the mornings, and then if I feel I can double up and do another in the evening, then I will have the energy. So I weighed in this morning. Last time I weighed in I was 15 stone 10 lbs, and I was quite disappointed with that. Today I weigh in at 15 stone 6lbs! So I have lost 4lbs in 2 weeks. I am so relieved and pleased that I managed to lose weight in this time. I want to be able to keep losing a lot, I really want to get down to under 15 stone by the end of the Summer holidays, if not more than that. I visited my Mum last week when she returned from Canada. She told me she was inspired by me to lose weight herself - she has always found losing weight hard, and always tries to eat healthily, and frequently exercises by her normal daily life and job. I was astounded to hear that she had lost 4 stone, and she looks absolutely amazing. She has struggled for so many years with her weight, and I think that if she can do that, so can I. I need to push myself harder if I intend on losing that much weight. I wish to get down to 12 stone. For my height, my weight supposedly has to be between 7 and 10 stone. However, I don't feel that is realistic in any way. My BMI has always been severely obese, as I am only 5 foot 2. For the first time in a long time, my BMI now measures 'obese' instead, so I have gone down a category. To get down another category to 'overweight' I need to be just under 12 stone. I think this is a far more realistic weight than between 7 and 10 stone. So that means that although I've lost 2 stone 6lbs so far, I've got another 3 stone and 6lbs to lose. That's more than I'm going to manage to do in the next 5-6 months. I probably need another year of dieting in order to get to that weight.
