Bootcamp blog week 11-PROGRESS!

I am feeling much more encouraged this week as I stood on the scales this morning and have lost 4 lbs. If I do the same again next week I can wave bye bye to the number 11 now! woo hoo, at last.
I thought I was zooming up and down the scales like a game of snakes and ladders for the past month now, but obviously with all the zooming I am gradually making my way up the ladders.
Someone at work I had not seen for ages commented that the weight had dropped off me since having the babies,I smiled and said ' no, I have worked dam hard to loose every single pound".
With age, lack of sleep and everything else I am doing, I am not really surprised my weight fluctuates so much, it's just a bit depressing when you have had a really good day and workout and you stand on the scales the following morning to find to your horror you have infact gained 3 lbs...from where??? even sitting on the loo, re positioning the scales and taking off everything does not make that digital scale alter one jot.
I am beginning to hate those scales.
I was feeling encouraged enough to try on my outfit for Abies wedding. This was a big mistake. Clearly the girl in the photo is a size 4, thats why she looks slim and beautiful.She is probably only 25 as well.
I am not slim, nor beautiful and as you well know ,obviously not 25!
I did not look anything like I had hoped.
I had bought a bigger size than I need so I could have it taken in (when I have lost the vast quantities of weight). With growing horror, the zip seemed to struggle around my waist. So, on the plus side the bust and hips are huge, but oh deary me, too tight.
How did I feel? glamourous mother of the bride?
Nope, more like " My big fat purple wedding' I look , at present like a huge fat bunch of violets.
Not the look I was trying to achieve.
Still, I tell myself, even more motivation to work hard at bootcamp and watch what I eat.
I still find it hard to eat mainly protein but this is obviously working in my burning off the weight.
I have also found it such a struggle to exercise as they babies have been tried and wingey and up a lot at night. This has meant I have walked around feeling (and looking) pretty shattered. I know I cannot put in 100% when I am this tired which is irritating me.
So this weeks challenge?
To see no more number 11. Loose another 4lbs, attend at least 5 sessions, and again stick to protein.
Abie has signed up for the two week challenge so its good to have her with me as we die together! Susie comes along to weights as well, so its becoming more of a family affair!
3 lbs to loose then I have lost 2 stone.
2 stone!!!!!
I am so pleased.
