Well, I'm not sure anyone will want to read this, but I need to do something to distract me!
I've decided to keep track of my ups, downs and 'middlings' for the next few weeks, but I'm not the next JK Rowling so I think this may be pretty dull.
So, 82lbs lost last year and then 7lbs back on over Christmas. Hmmm.... why is it that everything with carbs and fat in tastes so good?! Christmas was a very very bingey time for me - I literally ate anything and everything - and I am now kicking myself. I feel like I am as fat as I was to start with. Now, I know this is daft as I am still 75lbs down, but it's the psychological thing of not being 'in control' that worries me. So, my solution? Good old sole source to break those habits!
Day 1 and 2 were crap. I stuck 100% to it, but felt bloody awful. I mean, 'lying in bed doing nothing and moaning' awful - my poor family! I did manage to do some exercise (2 hour walk on Monday and an hour in the gym on Tuesday) but I was so lame in terms of intensity. Didn't help that I was on the middle treadmill with a greek god of a man on one side (he was very very fit in both senses of the word!) and a super toned, tanned and beautiful gym bunny on the other side. They were making eyes at each other in the mirror, with me puffing away like an asthmatic hippo in the middle. Poor them - I bet it was a bit of a mood killer for them! Ah well, at least I went.
Day 3 today and I guess I feel slightly better, but still starving. I swear I could eat cardboard at this stage and it would feel like a Heston Blumenthal banquet (actually Heston probably has cooked a carboard soufle or something at some point!). I've just done my legs, bums n tums class and I am knackered. I was mortified in the class as the room was cold and with my body heat being that of a towering inferno, I was smoking! Literally (well, I guess steaming is more scientifically accurate, but..) you could see it all around me! Mortified! But I made it through and I've come home and treated myself to.... a hot water with CD flavouring! Woo Hoo!
So, now I am cruising the internet for before and after photos for inspiration (anything to distract me from the rumbling tummy). There are some corkers out there. Like this one:
Weightplanners Forum - 9 Stone gone - Page 1
How amazing is that?! Bloody hell.
Well, that's all from me. I'll probably be back later to whinge some more, but for now stay strong and remember we put this weight on and we can get it off.
Love from me xx
