Its nearly 10 am and I am lying in bed.
I had herbal tea and an apple, read a book and am slowly coming to life. I am now 2 weeks into my 4 week time off work. Bliss.
I did circuits yesterday morning, and a 9k run last night, adn today I do feel it. My shoulders, my thighs are heavy, and I have a painful blister on the sole of my foot- probably from so many long runs this past week.
I'm still not sure if I'm taking today off, I may go for a walk later. I know teh next 2 weeks will be hard as I ahve a lot of little trips away, and i will be away from the gym adn my routine.
I can feel my body getting smaller- there is now a noticable drop in the size of my tummy, which is just fantastic. (this has also been helped my a magic vest that pulls in my love handles and makes my jeans and vest look much better!)In about a month or 6 weeks, I know there are things I will be fitting into again, including a red vest that I can wear with my trackie bottoms to the gym that looks class. I should have measured myslef at the beginning to see how many inches I am losing, I'll just have to go on my own perception of it.
As part of my holiday treats, I went to see 3 films in teh past week, Dear John, Blindside and Its A Wonderful Afterlife. And I had a treat at each- flavoured water which I really enjoy,and popcorn- I bought the healhty cheap variety beforehhand and was amazed last night- i brought 2 bags but actually only ate one! (73 calories) . What is surprising these days is actually how little I am eating- not in a strict way but I had no lunch on Tuesday but instead, 3 bags of popcorn at teh cinema (220 cals) rather than both.
Yesterday I had quite a large lunch, did a 9 k run, and just had 2 weetabix when I came in. I am not hungry. I am eating lots of fruit and veg, adn have cut down on coffee as it contributes to my having to go to the toilet which isnt good when I'm running!
I've stopped keeping a food diary- maybe I should start agaan given that my routine is out of whack for the next 2 weeks? May help.
I am starting to forget that I am fat. With so much time thinking and talking about running, from sore shins and calves to speeding up, to running hills, it takes away from teh "Oh I am so fat"thoughts. As well, with so much exercise, I just feel better and healthier.
I wonder will I ever be able to say that i do not need to imagine I'm not fat, that one day maybe I will no longer be fat? Somehow, I think, regardless of my size, I will have "fat" days and "thin" days, and its about making sure to get as many thin days as possible.
