Ive spent this week being proberly a little hard on myself when all i needed to do was to reflect. So this blog update will be mainly on that. I spent so much time this week trying to get back into my workouts that i didn't realise who that girl was staring back at me in the mirror. It wasn't until i took a picture of myself that left me feeling "amazed". Who's that firm,leaner looking body without that double chin. Well i guess that's me.Yes its really me. Hang on a minute lets actually see how far I've come. Well i went from lifting a remote control for the tv to lifting 70kilos with repetitions in space of 5 weeks! Ive worked hard and because I've believed I've actually had changes happen to me. When i met my partner Simon five/six years back i was slimmer but then fell in love and with that comes wine, food, take aways and more wine. But I've never felt as sexy as I'm feeling right now. To be told by the one you love that they can see the sparkle back in my eyes is brilliant. I'm feeling it and that's all down to this picture...
This has spurred me on and to top it off I've had a week of green eyed monsters lurking in the corners and no doubt il have some more spiteful comments.Ive had a few people that think they can just re-enter my life that didn't want to know me when i needed them the most. They wernt there when i was pregnant and on crutches and they didnt bother when my son was born but now I've dropped 63lbs they think I'm good enough to know again. While I've been doing my body transformation with Deborah I've also been dealing with my mum having cancer again, the exercise has been helping me through this time. Its become my best friend. I can vent my anger, frustrations thoughts and feelings and Exercise listens. It listens,it hears and knows how your feeling and turns it into something good and positive. So the next time I'm asked "who's your best friend?" my reply will be "Exercise". Exercise treats me how i treat them, If i work hard then i get hard results back. If i don't put much effort with them then it wont show me much back. So haters are gonna hate, well keep hating as your the fuel to my fire.Your now my new motivation to complete this body transformation. Its like you damned if you do and damned if you don't. If i was sat around all day and pile it on you'd moan, and now I'm trying to do better for myself and have a new healthy lifestyle that's wrong also!
Enough moaning! here's the positives of this week. I had some proper hardcore classes with Deborah! Kettlebells, and Mondays metabolic class was proper tough but oh so enjoyable. I was so pumped full of endorphins i couldn't rest, i was on such a good vibe i was telling myself hurry up and go to sleep. Then it hit me, i had bootcamp in the morning and getting up was bit hard for that. Once i was up tho i was ready. Got weighed and its a shocker, 5lb. Where did that come from? I'm well chuffed. Thats 1 stone 9lb I've lost in 5 weeks with Deborah Welch and a total of 63 lb in 7months since birth of my son. Ive not been this weight since i met my fiance 5 years ago.I wasn't even this weight before i fell pregnant. :)
Usually by Tuesday after weighing in i find bootcamp qite hard because I'm tired from all the training but this week i flew through it. Even managed to hold my plank. I'm thinking maybe I'm starting to find things easier to do because I've got some that weight off. Who knows how I'm gonna look by the end of my transformation with Deborah Welch but one thing i defently know, I'm keeping the nutrition plan :) Ive added a picture of what sums up how I've been feeling since I've started.
The inner me cant wait to be unleashed, I've got alot of years to make up for. I was the one that would sit and mope about my weight yet not doing anything to make a change. Trapped in a circle thinking that someone would do it for me. This time the only reason why I've stuck to plan, is determination. To actually want people to see me shine and see me for me instead of looking me up and down first before they've even said hello. So for those of you who can relate this update, what on earth are you doing about it? Don't leave it till Monday or tomorrow or next month, or after xmas. Make a change now and think you could be lighter by next week. If you make a mistake or have a blip, draw a line and start again. Plan and prepare. Out with the old and in with the new. Re-train your brain. If theres something you really don't like but don't hate it, eat it, tell yourself its good for you. Use herbs, spices and invent your own sauces. Get creative. You don't have to go without your favourite meals, just adapt your recipes and make it as healthy as you can. I find that weeks where I've eaten fish at least twice i have good losses but everyone is different. Like my fiance says, if you put petrol in a diesel car it just wont work. And that's exactly that, your body has the wrong fuel so now is the time to pump it full of goodness.
