Recurring theme, but I’ll celebrate anyway

Had my first weekly weigh in with the new diet and I’ve lost 1.3 kilos….I don’t know what that is in pounds but my trainer high fived me so I smiled and said yay! I think I’ll stick with kilos since 1 is apparently good whereas 1 pound is pretty lame….as Peter Kay says ‘you can shit a pound.’

I’m sure (if history repeats itself) I will put this on at next weigh in but for now I will bask in my own glory of being amazing.

By the way, today I went to spin super early (my Dad looked shocked when I walked into class and clapped at my arrival which was actually quite a nice way to be greeted in the morning, I must tell everyone to follow his lead) and I’ve eaten half a grapefruit, 2 pieces of toast, some peanut butter and a tin of tuna. There are 3 biscuit tins full in the office kitchen and someone brought in a massive box of chocolates. So I ate an apple. UGHHHHH but well done me as well. Self high five ^ <- that’s meant to be a self high five image….

It’s been quite a while

and nothing has changed!!

 

Still a chubster but I have been smashing it at the gym. I’ve been working really hard and am super strong these days but nothing can get rid of this stomach it seems…. I’m really enjoying the weights, I want to say I’m feeling empowered and extremely feminine but the anti-feminist in me cringes.

 

I kept hearing about the military diet and I finally got myself sorted last night to give it a try. My PT has given me the job of losing 1lb a week for the next 3 months and so far I’ve stayed exactly the same for 3 months so I’m slightly scared of not doing it! Anyway, I wrote out a weekly diet plan last night, had a rummage in my cupboards and then was waiting outside Waitrose at 7.55 this morning ready to get a few bits for my lunch. I’ve done a big shop online to stock up on the essentials to arrive tomorrow so I’m prepared! It seems to just be 3 days on a really low cal diet that’s basically dry tuna and toast with eggs and then 4 days on 1500, their website gave me some example meals for the 4 days so I’ve got it all neatly typed up now in a pretty chart! (Procrastinating at work….)

 

Weigh in is next Tuesday (tomorrows one doesn’t count since I only started it today) so I’ll keep you updated!

 

I also want to point out that I think this is my 5th different diet/exercise plan since I started writing this blog… ugh

Just stop it right now!

Seriously, stop it. I’ve only gone and found an exercise (can’t really call it a sport) that I like!!!!

My friend and I attended, for two whole weeks in a row, aqua aerobics! I’m not sure how fun it would be without our instructor who motivates us by “pushing it to the maaaax!!!!”
She is absolutely brilliant and most importantly I don’t get all hot and sweaty and therefore stressed out! I also bruise like a peach and tend to leave the gym with a new bruise every time without knowing how….

Ok so that might be an incident related with wine rather than exercise but I think it makes my point re the peaches.

There’s a lot of exclamation marks going on here because I am super happy to first of all have an exercise buddy and second of all, not hate life by having to do exercise!! Oh why the hell not, let’s have some more, I’m feeling good!!!!! Are these the elusive endorphins? We even get floating dumb bells to play with, totes feeling the burn… Just full on loving it right now!

Now the tough part, keeping it up and finding something else I like as it’s only on once a week… Tomorrow’s venture is body balance, not quite sure what it is but the poster made it look like yoga but who knows. I hate going to classes alone but I need to keep it up while I’m in the zone.

Well that’s it for now, I’ve seized up again from my squat challenge so crawling into bed sounds good. Looking forward to waking up to 30 day fit telling me to do some squats to “look sexy as f*ck naked” and carrot fit telling me I’m obese and to stop eating… More on those treats another time. Night sweet cheeks.

Oh did I mention we had a slight boob incident with the frog jumps? A proper swim suit has been purchased for next week…
