After only loosing 1lb the week before and even tho i felt like i loosing inches,motherhood was getting the best of me. Ive not had a day apart from my son since he was born. I wake up, eat,do what mums do, look after my son, feed and clothe him. Workout,Bath or shower then bed. So when one my friends invited me to go out for the night for her birthday i was thinking of all the reasons why i should say no. Then i thought, hang on a minute, i need this. I need to go out and know how it feels to let my hair down whilst on a clean eating lifestyle. Can i still go out and make the right choices. Drink was always one of my downfalls. I would never just stop at one. When i told Deborah that i was planning to go out for my friends birthday she was brilliant. Gave me advice on what was best to drink and also warned me how i would feel after just drinking one glass. I got to admit tho i didn't like the sound of vodka and soda water or that i would be blotto after just having one glass! I was determined tho to do this.
I worked extra hard at kettlebell class and even said to Deborah, "See you on Sunday for kettlebells." I think she already knew i properly wouldn't make it.
So i decided to try on my old black dress that i had worn few years back. I was expecting it to be tight but it actually hanged loose. Brought big smiles to my face :). My heels that wouldn't fit my big swollen wide feet actually fitted. Hair and make up done i actually felt good. Partner took a few pictures before i was heading off to my friends. I was so pleased when i saw what was looking back that i decided to compare the pic with one of me 5 weeks before.
When you look that good, you put the hard work in its safe to say you deserve a night out! I feel like I've been turned into the swan from the ugly duckling.When i got dropped off outside my friends and knocked on her door the response i received was awesome. Ive been wearing the same clothes baggy clothes in what seems like forever.I never felt so confident in such a long time. We started off our night with a glass of champagne and after the first glass i was feeling tipsy. Would be a shame to waste the rest of the bottle so down went the second glass. I remember being picked up by taxi and slightly stumbling when i was dropped off into Bristol :) First bar was vodka revolution, fancy flavour vodkas and cocktails but i was good. I stuck to having vodka and soda. The first one didn't taste so nice but my second wasn't so bad. Then i had the odd sips of my friends cocktails.I visited few other bars then a nightclub before calling it a night.I had so many compliments from people, was such a huge boost!The best bit about my night was bumping into a ex best friend who had done the dirty behind my back with my now ex boyfriend years ago. I actually thanked her, if it wasn't for her i wouldn't of met a really nice partner who treats me right and is loyal, nor would i have my son who i love and adore. I felt for the first time in years that i could actually walk tall. To even mention that i had a baby 8 months ago and knowing i looked fantastic next to her, felt like sweet revenge. Revenge were i didn't have to be spiteful or nasty. Holding my head up and walking tall did that for me.
I should of known that there was no way of making kettlebells on the Sunday. The clocks had gone forward a hour and i was in no fit state to drive anywhere. Even if i could of shared a lift with someone i properly would of hit myself in the face with the kettlebell! I did absolutely nothing on that Sunday.
I felt absolutely awful. I was so pleased when Monday came around, it was a hot but I was determined to get bk on track. I had a metabolic class to look forward to! First half hour was abs then the last hour was bootcamp type aerobics, use of resistance bands and also kettlebells. I really enjoyed it! Nothing like getting your sweat on.it was hard going at first, my body felt so sluggish. I had weigh in on the Tuesday morning, I stayed the same weight. Phewww! But now I'm left with a bloated belly instead. The good thing about this nutrition plan of Deborahs is that it combats retained water and bloatedness. Ive done something that i would never of done, i cancelled my gym membership. Even through my pregnancy i kept it open as i planned to use it lots but since meeting Deborah Welch i have no interest in what so ever to go back. She actually cares if we don't turn up to class, I've seen more results through Deborah then i have going to the gym for the last 3 years. More cost effective and im actually pushed out my comfort zone. Im really looking forward to my future now. I have 5 weeks left before i go back to work. My sons birthday 2 months after and i can now say im going to look fantastic for it!
So if your like me and your on a transformation or just trying to loose a few pounds, its ok to let your hair down and live outside your plan. Im pleased i went out, its put things in perspective for me. Im not missing out, if anything im appreciating things more when i do go out! It makes you realise that if you do have a few to many how easy it can be to go back to old habits. Best thing to do is to make new habits.
