I have to say, I'm not very happy about this. Yes Ive lost inches and that's great, but Ive also put on half an inch around my waist. This, I think, will give me huge push to get the diet side of this going properly. I have half-heartedly tried to eat better, but Ive come up with excuse after excuse why I haven't been. No time to shop, not enough money, no time to cook properly etc. How long does it take to make a salad ffs? Or a veg stir fry? I am my own worst enemy when it comes to things like this. I have an excuse for everything.
What I'm trying to do now, wait - not trying - what I will do from now on is to meal plan. Ive always tried to do it for a whole week and I fail after day 2 because I haven't got the right ingredients or whatever. What Ive done, and will do, is to meal plan for two to three days in advance. Using food I already have, or main parts that I have, and getting the little bits each morning. Its not like I don't walk past the Iceland, the Co-op and the fruit and veg shop every damn day! So there is my next step. Meal plan, and hit the diet side hard. I want to lose weight, not redistribute it to the area where I want it the least!
The exercise side is going pretty well. Ive been to the gym a few times since I last posted. Time before last I had to up my lat pulldown reps to 3 x 12, pulling 25kg (I think, it may be 32kg). And my leg press weights have now gone up to 52kg, I guess my lower body strength is much more than my upper body! But also my legs are used to carrying round an extra few stone an all. Unfortunately I haven't been out on my bike for a few weeks. I'm hoping to remedy that this weekend. I love the gym and I really enjoy going but I have to keep it mixed up. And I have my roller boots, that I forget I own. I got them for Christmas and haven't been out once yet. I think if I get out this weekend, or in the week for that matter, I'm going to take my skates with me and stop off for ten minutes in a nice secluded area! Until I get the hang of them again, there's no way I'm going out in public!
There, plan 2. I'm going to leave it at that. We all know how much I hate organising so don't want to frighten myself by having too many plans in place at once!
Overall, I'm quite pleased with my progress but I now know that I have a lot more to push for, I know I was taking this slowly, but any more slowly and Ill start to go backwards! I do have an idea why my waist measurement is high, and I hope it is that, I wont go into detail of course, just keep my fingers crossed!
So, that's my week. Nothing too exciting done. But I know what I have to work on. Looks like this blog was a good idea, at least for me!
