This is day one of my Weight Loss Challenge - so far so good! I doubt I will still have the same determination by the end of 7 weeks, but as this is for an amazing cause, I've got to keep it up for them!!
It took me nearly 4 hours to do a 1 hours workout on my Wii - but I managed to hit 1hr 1min and burn off 215 cals - so was quite pleased with that, seeing as the last time I logged onto Wii Fit was back in Sept last year!!
Breakfast - Toast (white bread only because I forgot to buy brown!!) with 2 teaspoons of butter
Lunch - Scambled Egg (made with 2 eggs and skimmed milk)
Dinner - Weight Watchers Creamy Chicken & Mushroom Meal
Snacks - X2 Weight Watchers Chocolate Eclairs & 2 Cadury Roses (and I can still see the tin sat there calling me...but I will resist!)
My first day all wrapped up - lets see what tomorrow brings :)
Remember, you can sponsor me on my facebook page event: http://www.facebook.com/events/349346608413360/ - all money raised is being donated to www.popngrow.co.uk - don't forget to check them out and see what an amazing cause they are xxx
Follow along on my 7 week weight loss challenge! You'll get the ins-and-outs of my daily diet, my exercise regime and any other tid-bits from the days events!
The reason behind the madness...
I want to tell you why I'm doing this - simply because I stumbled across a page on facebook and I immediately recognised the same drive and determination I saw in the pages owners, Paula Smith & Alison Wright.
And that page I hear you ask - why not check it out for yourself: www.facebook.com/pop.n.grow
Someone who could set all this up just a few weeks after giving birth simply says that they mean business and is someone who is going to MAKE this work!
The more I've got to know Paula, the more I realise what an amazing person she is, and I've found myself being drawn into helping out where I could...and before I know it, Paula has made me co-admin on their facebook page and allowing me to have an input on getting the campaign to where she wants it to be - A fully fledged Recognised Charity...

Day one...
So, 24 hours in and I realised I should have posted some details yesterday about starting weight, target weight etc - so this is now as follows.
Weigh in was at 18:10 on 10th Jan
Starting Weight - 11st 12lbs
Target Weight Loss - 14lbs
Target Date - 21st February 2012
Goal Weight - 10st 12lbs
Simply, this should equate to losing just 2lb a week - easily manageable according to the weight watchers diet (which is the one I am following for this quest!)

Welcome to my blog :)
Ohh how exciting - I've never done one of these before!!
So, you've found your way onto my page via the amazing Facebook and want to know more...
About me then: Anna Andrew, currently 27 (this will change on the 7th January!) wife and mummy to one of the most beautiful little girls on the planet, Olivia, who is 7 months old today <3 I run a small business from home, and am about to start a new job on 14th January as my current company don't want me back part-time after my maternity leave... C'est la vie!
So, why am I doing this? I have become involved in an amazing not-for-profit organisation called Pop 'N' Grow (P'n'G) who was set up by an amazing woman, Paula, who is just an inspiration. What they want to do is soooo achievable, but they need lots of support and all important funding. So, it is for them I am doing this.
What's the plan then? I'm looking to lose a stone (14lbs) in just 7 weeks. All I am asking is for people to sponsor the weight loss either by offering a total amount (E.G £5 in total) or an amount per lb lost (E.G 50p per lb lost) I have joined Weight Watchers so each weigh-in is accurate and recorded.
So, fancy sponsoring me? ANYTHING you can afford will be greatly appreciated by me and P'n'G - So head to my event on Facebook - Anna's Weight Loss Challenge and leave your pledge in the message box - money will be collected at the end of the event when the challenge has been successfully completed!
Thank you for taking the time to read my blog and for following my cause <3
