Welcome to my get fit blog!
I kind of did, but more relaxed. I'm starting this blog here to try and motivate me to finally lose this little podge I have on my stomach. 
I'm within the healthy weight range for my height, although I know I am leaning towards the "oof, getting a bit heavy there eh?" end. 
I can't wear tight clothes because of my lil stomach podge. In certain clothes I can look about 4 months pregnant. 
However in other clothes I can look like I haven't got a stomach at all. 
Instead, Here's what this blog will be:
I've swapped having crumpets for breakfast with having overnight oats and fruit, or yoghurt and fruit. However that's basically the only change. 
I'm a sucker for chocolate in particular. This needs to change! This is what I'll do:
I walk to and from uni (20 minute walk) 6-7 times a week, but honestly that's basically it. I'm self-conscious about jiggling when I exercise so it's put me off. 
I've got an exercise mat and dumbbells, so now I just need to follow YouTube videos of workouts and I'm good to go! I aim to start with twice a week, and increase it as I get better.
I just type as the thoughts come into my brain and I don't think about how long it will be. With this blog though, I'm going to put all the waffling in spoilers and have just the "key" info as the main bit so you don't have to read it all. 
I'm planning on making a post once a week and having it be a summary of the week's progress, any good highlights, any little hiccups and how I'm feeling.
I weighed myself at 8:15am and I'm 61.1kg. I'm pleased! 
I've lost about a pound, which is really good considering I've only made small changes.
In case you didn't know I have a condition in my jaw called TMJ which basically means the joints in my jaw aren't right and they could be causing my headaches. When I get a bad headache / migraine, I just can't do anything. 
If you suffer from migraines you'll sympathise. So yeah, I'm hoping this coming week will be a lot better. The weather has been really warm and sunny, so I've been walking to town more. It takes me about 45 minutes because I walk at a nice, slow pace. It's around 7k steps there. I try to walk back as well, but if my feet by that point are very sore or I'm getting a blister, I'll get the bus back. My record this week was about 16k steps in one day, which I'm really pleased with. 
I did have plans to go out but it didn't arrive until 5pm and by that point it was too late to do what I wanted.
The only snacks I'm having between meals are either almonds or a cereal bar. No chocolate or other junk food, really pleased. 
I've cut down the amount of carbs I'm having. So one day I had roast chicken with spinach and veggies, but had extra veggies instead of potatoes. I'm not completely eliminating carbs but I think it's helping to have more veggies instead.
The only downside to this week was I had McDonald's for lunch yesterday. 
I think I just convinced myself I'd been good all week, my friend had a voucher and so I decided why not. Obviously that was a one-off! I've resisted Greggs all week as well!
