I feel like a new woman

Posted by Caroline

I haven't yet located the scales at Champneys so no weigh-in today.

Meanwhile, I'm sure I must have lost weight. We only have three meals a day and there are no chocolate facilities anywhere. I'm used to grazing throughout the day and I now realise how much I eat between meals. I find the gap between lunch and dinner the hardest so I squirreled away an apple and yoghurt from breakfast for emergency snacks. 

I've surprised myself at my commitment to exercise, especially when most of the other guests are lounging around in their robes. Yesterday, I did an aqua fit class, half an hour in the gym and had an hour-long walk before dinner. It was supposed to be a half-hour walk but I got lost in the undergrowth and as I retraced my steps, I thought of all the extra calories I must be burning off in the process to keep my morale going. 

Last day tomorrow so, if I find the scales, I'll weigh myself before leaving to see if the regime has paid off. I certainly feel like a new woman – let's hope the scales feel the same.
