Regaining Ground (optifast week 5)
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.
