I am finally back in the zone!
Last week I gained 2.5lbs and I had a long hard think about things. I made a joke out of it when in group with the people I was sat with but was really annoyed with myself. It was a taster week so no usual going around the room asking how people are getting on and I felt like I really needed it. At the end the consultant had 10 spare minutes so she asked if anyone needed any help and I spoke up. I never normally do, I'm more of a listener but I really needed to.
I asked how people coped with the weekends - I told them I am good up until Saturday lunchtime and then we go out all day and that means lunch out, dinner out and sometimes a kebab on the way home too! Everyone was really helpful and nice, I was given loads of suggestions and I walked out of the room determined to give it my best shot.
I watch a lot of the biggest loser and I was watching one episode and they said they have 2.5 hour sessions with there trainer everyday (obviously they must go in the gym on their own too!) and I thought I could make it a biggest loser week for me too. I love exercise but sometimes I am just too damn lazy to get out of the chair! I set a goal to do 2-3 hours a day exercise just to get my back on track again and wrote out a food diary.
Friday I did 1 hour wii fit, 1 hour gym and 1 hour boot camp exercise class. I was scared going to the boot camp, one of the school mums has set up her pwn group and I have never done something that intense before but I promised I would go so I went.
OMG, I had no idea what to expect! I didn't really think about it too much but I just assumed it would be cardio exercises which I have gotten used to at the gym. When we started and she asked us to warm up by doing star jumped I nearly cried! I can not do star jumps! I followed the class the best I could, and tried to join in as much as I could so I didn't look like a complete tool in front of the school mum. It was very quiet, only 2 others there as it is new set up so I didn't worry too much how bad I looked! It was all squats (which I new would make me suffer the next day!) and punching, press ups, sit ups etc etc.
Saturday I woke up and was aching all over too late to go to the gym (my gym is manic after 9am at weekends) so I did 2 hours straight through on the wii fit. I pushed too hard and I couldn't do anything else for the whole day. Around dinnertime I started hurting, not just aching, everywhere. It was painful to sit down, to stand up, to lie down and anything in between. I couldn't bend my legs and my calf muscles kept cramping when I walked - usual signs you have had a goood workout!
Sunday I had of the exercise - I would not be able to do it, no way. I was still in pain! I was also sulking because my scales said I was 3lbs up, even though I knew it was from the exercise I was gutted.
Monday was the 2nd boot camp class. It was in the morning and I was still aching from Friday so I knew I would just do the boot camp today. I told her I still hurt and when we warmed up by doing star jumps I just jogged on the spot. I managed to do a LOT more though and left feeling really pleased with myself. I knew I would pay for it later though so I took it easy after.
Tuesday I woke up aching like HELL, probably as bad as after Fridays boot camp but it was everywhere! All my legs, stomach, bum, chest, tops and bottoms of arms! Another day without exercise
I went food shopping and my legs were crapping like hell I thought they were going to give out under me lol.
Wednesday I felt a lot better, my chest still ached but at least now I could sit on the toilet without my legs feeling like they were going to burst from bending
It was also my Husbands birthday Wednesday and we were going out for a meal that night - I decided the best thing to do was to WI on Wednesday evening instead of Thursday morning with a big dinner sat in my belly. Because we were going out I couldn't stay to group and just had to weigh and go which I am a little nervous about but I now have a good reason to carry on and have another good week.
I lost 4.5lbs.....that means I am only 1 tiny lb away from my lowest yet also 1.5lbs away from my 5.5 stone award! I will lose 1.5lbs this week even if I have to WI naked! I have the food sorted and last week I followed the plan exactly (only had 1 extra chocolate bar but I can cope with that!) I can't stop thinking of it, I will get it this week and I will get my 6 stone award before I go to Florida, it is all I want now, the only thing I focus on - chocolate can wait a while
