Well, today I’ve feeling rather good. Firstly, the scales were very kind this morning and show me at a new low weight. Secondly, I had a great lower body workout at the gym, then took Rosie on a walk for 25mins (feet a bit sore but heal was fine). Thirdly I tried on nearly all the clothes I have stashed away in tubs (only 3). A few Summer things almost fit and there are more that will fit by the time Summer arrives. I will a great Summer wardrobe – most things are as yet unworn as I never quite fitted into them (bought during the last 2 years) – but this year they will fit for sure. I’ve now completed nearly 10 weeks on BFL and feel so great. It is such a habit now to eat every 2-3 hours and I very rarely look for food in between those times. I’ve NEVER experienced hours of not thinking about food. It’s wonderful. I might even do measurements and photos this Sunday to celebrate 10 weeks. Then it’s just another 6 weeks till school holidays – when I’ll enjoy 2 “relaxed” weeks.

Feeling fat and frumpy
Urgh!!! After feeling so good how I’ve been eating and exercising I went shopping today. Seeing all the lovely summer clothes made me feel so fat and down because I know I won’t be wearing them any time soon. The weight is coming of so slowly and while I know it’s really a good thing (desperately want to avoid lose skin) it’s frustrating at the same time. Still I will keep going. Despite the frustration I don’t find myself wanting to eat the wrong things during the week.
Getting in those workouts
Wow, I can’t quite believe where I am mentally right now. Today I did my cardio – 20mins on the elipitcal (exhausted at the end of it). Then I realized I won’t get to the gym tomorrow for upper body (Amy has to have some tests) so decided to go in just before lunchtime (after cleaning the house). Had a great workout. Really enjoyed it today. Then at 2.45 I walked up to the school to meet the girls and we walked home – 15mins one way, and 20mins on the way back. My heel still feels good so that is great news indeed. Feel so proud of myself. I’m going to see if I can get to the gym again first thing in the morning and do some normal cardio – or else I’ll do a DVD at home. I’m determined to have a decent weight loss this week to celebrate 10 weeks doing BFL.
Week 9 weigh in
Well, after a week I’m pretty happy with, I hoped on the scales this week to see a 0.2 gain. Usually this would send me off the rails but after last weeks loss of 2.5kg plus it being that time of month I’m really not worried about it at all. 0.2 is really not much and besides a couple of treats I shouldn’t have had I’m very happy with how the week went. I’m going to enjoy my free day (and my Dad’s birthday lunch) and have another great week. Yes, the weight loss has been slow but it’s been a very enjoyable journey so far (except for the week and half where I went off the rails and ate whatever I wanted). I’m much happier and have so much more energy. Life is GOOD!!!
