Have you found anything difficult this week?
I usually go to the gym on Thursday nights, and I’m trying to remain in a routine. However, with the weather here I couldn’t eve drive to work, never mind the gym, so I was concerned I wouldn’t fit in my sessions. I’ve also been craving chocolate or sweets this week, something that doesn’t happen often with me!
Workouts
I added in a Friday night workout, I didn’t have long; half an hour. I did 20mins on the cross trainer then stretched out, but it was better than not going at all. I’ve finally managed to hit my goal of 4 sessions in one week and I feel so much better for it. I feel so much healthier, I look better and I feel happier.
Food
The biggest change this week in food, has been my lunches. I have only had my home made soup once, some cheese and biscuits (my weakness), a salad, a tin of soup and a panini. I had thought the variation would have led to less weight loss, but it hasn’t, so I’m pleased.
Weigh In
I weighed myself first thing on Saturday morning, I had noticed that my jeans were getting baggy on my legs and that my stomach was a lot flatter. The scales said 8 stone 11.25 lbs, so I’m back to my lowest weight again. I’m really pleased with the way I’m looking now, more so than what it says on the scales.
