..or because I'm getting married in July? (and does it matter?)
Let's see, the saga began about 3 years ago when I realised that I was eating like a boy, but being 6 inches smaller than the ones I was eating with, it wasn't doing me any good.
I'm a recreational dancer (ballet), currently taking classes with girls half my age (13 year olds or so) who are *tiny*, so I'm very sensitive to small changes in weight.
At my heaviest I was 9 1/2 stone (about 135 pounds), which wasn't terrible, but it was squidgier than I wanted. I'm currently stuck at just over 9 stone (about 125) which is ok but I could do with being made of more muscle and less squidge.
I've had to start keeping track of everything I eat online, otherwise I just keep eating (don't really have a full cut-off), I do feel a little obsessive doing it, but I guess if it works, don't knock it.
I've also started the Couch to 5k thing on www.coolrunning.com, which has been pretty good. I struggle to run 3 times a week tho, so I'm just going as fast as I can. I'm currently on the anti-penultimate (I love that word) week, so getting up to running 25 minutes without stopping.
Whatelse.. I should be doing weights, but I'm not, I'm not stretching as much as I should, but at least I eat my vegetables...
