Last big training day

Completed my last training day by going to Millport with some weightwatchers friends. So proud to have my amazing leader with me supporting me all the way and even did the 10.5 mile bike ride with me even though she hated every minute of it!! Lol
This is the 'you're dead' look!!



On the ferry......



The sun came out just for us!!

Bowled Over!!!

I cant believe at this stage in the game the money is still pouring in for my walk!!!
Some girls from work got into action today and took a couple of buckets around Gourock raising over £100
I have had other donations this week to my just giving page and some money also just handed to me bringing the total to £5,610.10 which is a Whopping 194%!!!!!!!!!
                                              

lost 2lbs on Thursday bringing my total weightloss to 11 stone and 1.5lbs to date...
I have been training like mad for my sponsored walk which is only 3 weeks away now and I have had varying levels of success on the scales during this time but looking back at my card I realised tonight that I have not had a gain in 6 weeks which is quite an achievement for me at this stage in the game, let me tell you!
Last weekend I climbed a Munro and walked 19 miles along the west highland way, and I also walked 7.5 miles on Wednesday. I am loving life and it feels great to have so much more energy...
So for anyone who may be struggling at the moment, keep positive and you will get there. When I look at my chart in my weight tracker it is full of dips and peaks along the way, just like that mountain I climbed last weekend..There were hard parts and other bits that just seemed impossible to climb and there were a few smooth bits too, which is just like my weightloss journey, but do you know I got there in the end.. I am now facing a 62 mile walk along the great wall of china in 3 weeks time. When the way gets hard and seems impossible I hope I can think of this mountain I've had to climb and that it is for a purpose and maybe just get the determination to keep going...

Walking Ban :-(

Well I have been banned/advised!! not to walk for another week until my blisters totally heal up.
Bought my new walking boots yesterday and will be trying them around the house for a couple of days but they feel good so far :)
Really disappointed that I can't train properly just now at such a crucial stage but my Chiropodist friend has basically said if I do I can forget China so I guess I better take her advice!
Going to try a cycle today. Will post how I get on later..
