This week has actually been the toughest! After 2 weeks of losing weight at my weigh in I gained 1 kilo this week. Absolutely devastated as I have stuck to my healthy eating... I didn't drink anywhere near enough water & didn't train so I have myself to blame!
Lesson learnt as I am now further away from my first goal of 5kg's. I have set myself the goal of 5kgs lost by 13/2/2013. I am going need to really push it now to get there!
NEW SHOES
For me its all about getting into the right mindset... I feel I am there for the first time ever! Something just went click.. Every other attempt has been half assed, not this time. 3 1/2 weeks in & I feel this is me going forward.. I have set regular goals, my 5kg loss goal is new runners! I really need them as I actually killed my old pair... Shows how much use they had previously. At the moment I am using my son's, not ideal. But I am standing strong. No new runners until the 5 kg is gone...I am enjoying looking at runners & researching shoes online, its keeping me motivated.
If you are following my blog I would love to hear your suggestions for rewards. I am ensuring none of my rewards are food related, thats an old habit I have had to break. No more chocolate as a reward for not eating chocolate! Believe it or not that's what I used to do! Go 2 days without a chocolate & reward myself with a family block... Crazy!
The Weigh In
I have to say the hardest time has been weighing in this week & gaining 1 kg. I would be ok if I had eaten poorly, but its really hard when I have tried so hard & then felt cheated. It has made me understand the importance of drinking water & moving my body. Hard lesson to learn. I really felt like giving up. My body hurts; I am not eating foods that I love & for what! Then I remembered; this isn't about the scales. They are ONE way to measure my success. This week I had several people comment they can see a difference in my face; I wore a top to work that hasn't fit me for over 5 years & best of all, I feel good! F!#K the scales I say... until I have to weigh in again! I am not however letting one bad weigh in result derail 3 weeks of working my ass off. 3 weeks of eating well & starting a fitness journey that will become part of my life!Today I did Yoga for the first time in over 12 months. I really love it & have committed to at least 1 class a week. I am still doing my 2 fitness classes with my inspirational trainer Lana Green. She keeps me motivated! I am also creating a circuit in my back courtyard so when the wet weather appears, I can still train. Also it gives me an option on the days I haven't got training. The image below is how I feel now about my fitness! I am not great at any of my new activities, but I am having fun & am determined to improve my fitness & overall health!
Well thats my update Fat Fairy friends! I will check in with you after my weigh in on Wednesday night!
Have a great week & stay healthy!
