Soon to be yummy mummy

Morning girlies!
Things are looking good this morning! Scales still show a 4lbs loss, my boiler's being fitted today (so hot water and heating woop woop!!) and my dad's just started work on the house fitting the new bathroom downstairs!!
We're booking our weekend away tonight, we're going to Warren Farm in Somerset for May bank holiday weekend - camping in our "luxury" tent! SO excited! There's a big soft play centre there for Bella and farm animals to feed - she's gonna love it!
I'm not working today coz there's an inset day in my regular school so I'm off with little Bella again, gonna take her for a walk later on in the pram with my mum.
So far today I've been good food-wise - 500ml of water (didn't get up til 10am so not bad going!) and a hot choc mint shake.
I'm going to have a porridge for "lunch" and then a strawberry shake chilled with ice for tea - 100% SS day for me today me thinks!!
I'm going to try and have 100% SS days all this week as I'm not going to the gym this week as I haven't got anyone to have Bella - OH is working over-time but then I've got a new plan for the gym from next week.
They recommend not to do too much cardio whilst on CD as it slows down weight loss as your body thinks it needs to reserve the calories it IS having, so they recommend weight resistance and toning, so this is how I'm planning on building up my exercise:
Go Monday's, Thursday's and Saturday's - take it easy cardio-wise and just focus on weight resistance / toning (this will mean that I'm burning that unwanted fat way after I finish working out = toning up / extra weight loss and less chance of loose skin!)
Workout plan: All the different weights stations working: Legs, arms, back and torso. Then 10-20 minutes on the bike, hill programme, cascades working through levels 1-3, 10 mins power walking on the treadmill to cool down. 20 sit ups to work the belly area. Free weights to work my bingo wings (!) before showering and home.
Mon - as plan above
Thurs - a shortened version of above followed by Aqua Aerobics class
Sat - as plan above
How I've worked out these days to go: I don't normally work a Monday day so that's why I can go to the gym Monday night - I will be with Bella all day then her dad can watch her for an hour in the night.
Tuesday's I work in the day at the moment so I'd rather stay home with Bella in the night, same with Wednesday's.
Thursday's are "my" night and her dad has her. Friday's we all have family time. Saturday's her dad takes her to watch the rugby between 10am-4pm so I can get "me" time in at the gym and then Sunday he normally has his fishing / rugby time or we have family time and can take Bella swimming! So it's all sorted!
When I lose 3 stone from NOW'S weight, I am going to introduce the Power-Plate / Vibo Plate as well as this tones (but at my weight now I'd probably buckle it!). It's free at my gym / included in my monthly membership fee so if its there I may as well use it!
I will stick to all of this until I get to around the 13 stone mark and then add in 2 classes (like boxercise / body combat / body pump) so I will be doing 4 days a week at the gym:
Mon - gym + class
Tues - class + power plate
Thurs - gym + swimming
Sat - class + gym + poss power plate
Sun - take Annabelle swimming @ the club
I'm paying £50+ a month and am tied in until Jan 2011 so I might as well get my use out of the gym as I have to pay this anyway! I will also start taking Bella swimming there on a Sunday.
This does sound like a lot of exercise but in my current job I don't do ANY moving around / all very sedentary so this would prob only add up to most people's general exercise.
I think this is a good plan to stick to, starting off 3 times a week doing stuff I know I can manage / take at my own speed, until some more of the weight is off then introducing new stuff a bit at a time, the power plate first then after a few more weeks, classes.
I'm excited now! Hopefully this will build up my exercise-for-life routine! 2010 is really gonna be the year I change my life for the better!
Yay!! A new me! I like the sound of that! Or not a "new" me - just releasing the person I know is trapped inside this fat suit!! Hee hee!
I feel so much more confident already now I'm controlled by eating and food! Even though its going to take a long time for all this weight to come off, I feel like I've found the key with CD. I'm determined to do it for good as everyone who has done CD believes that the first time is the golden time and its hard to get back on it if you come off it major - so I'm not coming off.at.all! Til I get to goal! No more "planned breaks" or cheat days! Just following CD properly!
If I have birthdays and special occassions I'll just go up the CD plans for those days to allow me to have meals out but making healthy choices within the CD guidelines and just drinking water / the odd coca cola zero.
I feel like I'm back in control!! Here's to a big loss Wednesday to keep me even more on track! My mum's measuring me tonight as I feel like I've definately lost inches - my bra's loose around the chest part and my tops all feel baggy so I'm going to measure and see. My CDC measured me last week when my weight loss STS but she only measured around my waist (-2 inches from the beginning!! woop woop!)
Right, this has been a mega long post that has prob bored you all stiff! So I'm going to get dressed (at 12.22!! shocking!) and go for that walk with Bella in the pram!
Good luck this week girlies!
