Lost: 3 lb
Total weight loss since day 1: 2 stone 1 lb
Smoothie Feast: Days 16, 17 & 18 of 60
I've had a fantastic week for my weight loss, losing 4 lb since Monday and I've now lost over 2 stone since 1st January!
I went to the gym 4 times this week, partaking in copious amounts of CV work and enjoying 99% of it. I'm feeling a lot leaner and fitter, my t-shirts are getting baggy and my size 18 jeans are very loose. I'm feeling really good. I no longer have any pain in the arch of my foot, my knee or my hip - which I suffered from when I was 15 stone. That just goes to show how damaging being overweight can be to your body and how, with a bit of determination, you can reverse things for the better!
I've been keeping up with my smoothies, my salads and adding a little bit of cooked food, but staying totally vegan. I would say that I'm 80-90% raw on average and I feel this is right for my body, especially with the hard work that I'm putting in at the gym at the moment.
I'm hoping to duck under the 13 stone mark and plunge into the 12 stone zone over the weekend, which I feel is achievable, as long as I stay good!
On the home front... the family has acquired another dog. You may remember that I mentioned about my friend going back to the UK.
She couldn't take her dog with her. So, we offered to foster her dog, who is called Samba. She has settled in amazingly well, considering we have two other dogs (one who constantly barked at her for about 3 days, driving everybody crazy!) and 7 cats.

Samba very quickly understood the routine of going for a walk every morning, having her biscuit breakfast when she comes back in and her meat dinner at 5pm, even though she's asking to be fed at 4.30pm! She accepts that she sleeps on the couch in the lounge at night (though on the first night she did try to get on the bed, but after a quick chat she understood that the couch is her bed now!)
She gets on with all of the cats, ignores the other two dogs (Tilly and Frankie) but loves to run up and the down the fence where I keep my chickens! When I go to close the hen house at night, Samba likes to come with me and personally say goodnight to the hens by sticking her head round the door!
She's a lovely, sweet dog and we are very happy to foster her.
Plans for the weekend...collecting my organic veg box on Saturday morning in Coín, then off down to the coast for the rest of the day to have a spot of lunch at Vegetalia in Los Boliches, Fuengirola and a walk along the Paseo.
Hasta pronto
