Bit by Bit

Well I guess there could be no more excuses. I had to do something, while I seem to have got back to the eating program, I still haven’t been exercising.

So while Saturday night I had 1.5 beers, some greasy food and half a piece of cake (Bec took the other half off me in an amazing display of discipline) and Wednesday night was curry with friends, this week has been all about hauling ass. Surprisingly, it worked!

I’ve never been motivated to exercise, I hate pain and perspiration and think that grunting and sweating is time that could be better spent nurturing your mind or belly. However, I understand that it is a necessary evil to lose weight and so I must worship at the altar of the treadmill, despite my inability to enjoy it.

I did 30 minutes of cardio on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday mornings. I also did weight Monday, Tuesday and Friday morning and skated for the whole session on Tuesday (2 hours). So all in all, I’m blown away with how much exercise I did.

I have to thank BMB for a bit of motivation too- Friday morning was particularly difficult, but he kicked me out of bed without a second glance. It’s good when tough love works.

Currently- 106.2 kgs

or it was all going so well.
Then the end of term hit. I had work to do, and got lazy- no gym for two weeks.
Then there’s the lunches and choclates. Everyone loves to hand out chocolates close to Easter.

I’m still having trouble being good on the weekend, but worst of all, work has been getting me down. The good thing is that BMB has steered me away from the junk food- the bad thing is, it’s still in the back of my mind.
I’ve got 10 days off and don’t know how I’ll cope- I tend to binge over Easter.
I’m not going to keep this off. So much for 95 by September.
I was looking forward to possibly making babies over summer…..

I have to say, generally, my fitness kick is doing ok. Not reaching the 6 time s a week peak I want, but still successfully getting there 3-4 times a week, baby steps.

I don’t think I’m going so well with food. Weekends tend to blow out. I’ve been down lately, so the Macca’s breakfasts and lardy coffee confections have slipped in. I’m trying though.

I’m still buying big clothes, cos I love them and they fit. I got a great top on ebay last week and decidied to wear it out, cos I felt sexy in it.

But this photo below makes me look so fat. I know it’s a bit of comparision and Tony’s a skinny man- but I look huge. This is the photo on the fridge moment. I love the top, but I hope I really didn’t look that fat.

It’s been a pretty good week, I’ve been to the gym 3 times (at 5am in the morning twice) and heading out for a 4th trip today.
I’ve been pretty good with food too, although I’ve succumbed to some Peanut M&M eggs (currently hidden on top of my computer desk), I’m rationing them out.
Even when I didn’t have time for lunch during the week- I had sushi. In fact my biggest indulgence for the week- a violet crumble iced choclate from gloria Jean’s, and I’m more morally opposed that nutritionally opposed to it ATM, but I had a freebie on my loyalty card and I decided to use it!

oooh I did the gym thing today. The tales to tell. Bright shiny boy PT. Nice weights, bad lunges. Feeling stupid, unfit and nervous. I’m determined the stepper will kill me.
I’m trying to get up at 5.15 to do this?
I think I’m out of my mind.
I’ll write more when my brains working and my legs stop hurting

Today I went to the gym. I have a free 7 day pass and I intend on going at least every weekday. It seemed nice, like Bodybalance in Mt Isa. Friendly, open, focused on the clients. I can’t say I like the packages, but I think I can make it suit me.
I haven’t been eating great, but it could be worse- Christmas and all that, with the end of work, there is heaps of chocolate in the house and my brain is convinced, it must be eaten now. There’s also a leg of ham to finish and holidays means eggs for breakfast.

There was a letter from my doctor today, asking me to follow up on a blood test in October. My cholesterol is quite high and he is concerned about something else. The letter has made me a little annoyed. It infers that I should follow up on a test, that they should not have to remind me. This was a check- up, I assumed that if there was something wrong, I would be contacted. That seems to be what other doctors do. I’m not looking forward to the appointment tomorrow, I believe there will be discussion of weight and nutrition and somehow I don’t think I’ll like any of it
