It’s the end of Week 3 and
the start of Week 4. Week 4 is usually “Jack
It All In and have a Curry” week for me. But this time round it’s going to be ‘Keep
her Lit’ week. I started weigh day as I mean to go on, with a good old workout
to get the heart pumping good and fast before work. I have worked out every day
since last Monday. That’s never happened in all my life. And I’m not even
working out for the sake of it. I am doing it because I really want to do
it. I am enjoying challenging myself with
different You Tube videos. The only
issues I really have is my inability to co-ordinate all my limbs. Everything is smooth sailing when it’s just
the lower half of my body or the upper half of my body, but when I have to combine
the two… lets just say it’s not pretty. I can’t get it all to work in unison,
with the result, I look like I am thrashing around the place just drowning in
the air. But I’m doing it, and the lady on the TV assures me that I don’t have
to be perfect, I just have to keep moving, so I’ll take her word for it!
My PMA is through the roof. I
am delighted with all the effort that I am putting in. I’m enjoying my food and
moving more and it’s helping me with sleeping better, being more patient and
just overall feeling very happy. Although Himself did mention that I looked a
little bit cross recently, so I must pass the ‘I’m delighted with life’ message
on to my face! The PMA is so high, that
my whinging unhappy insomniac of a Dolly couldn’t even drive me to ordering a
take away! Oh no Sir. Usually, when my
favourite tiny human gives me a day like she did yesterday, when she’s done
nothing but cry and refuse to sleep, I am exhausted (which I was) and feel hard
done by (which I totally was!) and so I cheer myself up with a take away
because I haven’t the energy to cook. Not this time! I got her to bed and
decided that I really didn’t want to go fluffing about making a big dinner, so
I “treated” myself with a little sausage sandwich and a packet of popcorn, and
it was delicious! All within my points and no crazy “I hate myself” guilt!!
It is only the start of Week
4, but I am beginning to notice little things are changing – like I don’t grunt
as loudly when I bend to pick something up these days. That’s always a nice
change. I have some tops that are beginning
to look a little bit big on me. But then I lose the run of myself and beat my
hips and ass into something skin tight and body con and realise that -2lb does not equate to -2 stone, so I have to
shout in the mirror “Get your ass outta that lyrca and into something a little
bit more forgiving”….
Some of my favorite meals this week included a lovely Strawberry and Feta Cheese Salad which can be found here and also a gorgeous Grilled Hake and Avacado Sauce which can be found here
Last Monday I set myself a
goal of 70k steps for the week by bed time tonight. At 9pm yesterday evening, I had achieved 71k
steps, and as I type, I am currently at 75,184.
This weeks stats:
So with all that effort, I
would be really happy to be down 1lb. Regardless of what the scales says, I
know that I have put in a massive effort and I am still remaining very focused
on the positive changes that I am already seeing and have faith that even if
the scales choose to ignore all my efforts, all the sweaty and fuzzy headed sacrifices
I have made this week. Even if it doesn’t
take into account all the ice cream and chocolate and fizzy cola bottles I
resisted, I know that it will eventually pay off and I will start to see
results. Rome wasn’t built in a day, as
himself says, so in this case, RachMc won’t be deconstructed in a day either!
Now, excuse me while I go
pray to the Pooh Gods, cause it’s weigh day today!
