Week 2
All I have done this week is eat round me. I LOVE food but its getting ridiculous.
Food
Like eat and eat and eat even when I wasn't hungry and that's not like me at all. Everyday I have been over my calorie allowance.
I've still been sick this week so I've still been eating all the carbs and cheese; we did a food shop on Tuesday and I bought almond croissants, muffins and Boursin cheese. Seriously I have no control. New Rule- stop buying shit! If its in the house I'll just eat it because its convenient. Although plus for this week, we have done a lot more cooking and we haven't had a take-out in two weeks. We had gotten into a REALLY bad habit of getting take out 2-3 times a week when we couldn't be bothered to cook which subsequently lead to my 20lbs weight gain so the burgers had to go and I'm not missing them...yet.
From next week onwards, seeing as I'm nearly 100% better I'm going to implement my original plan; that being to work out 3-4 times a week, eat healthy with a treat meal on Saturday and a bit of a change to my original plan I'm going to weigh in on a Sunday morning so that my blog isn't a week behind and I can keep a better track.
Exercise
As overall I'm feeling better I've been working out- finally! I did a session on this morning which was tough, I have no fitness left at all. We have our little home gym and I was trying to figure out what my sets should be. As I want to fat burn apparently it should be high reps, smaller weights and then when I come to tone up should be lower reps, heavier weights so for the next 6 weeks I'm going to to follow a routine that I've devised but saying that the 'lighter' weights this morning felt pretty bloody heavy so I'm going to have to build up my strength again. I cant wait to skip the part where I hate working out and actually look forward to it- starting is always the hardest!
Following a routine just does not come easily to me (despite me being organisation queen) so I really really want this to work as I'm just so sick of being down about how I look and feel. So the POA looks like this:
Monday: Arms
Tuesday: Legs
Wednesday: Rest
Thursday: Arms and Legs
Friday: Rest
Weekend: Some sort of exercise- TBC
Also each morning I want to do my Bob Harper 15 minute yoga abs (its really about 18mins but it works) so I've set myself that as my October challenge.
Vision Board
I am also currently putting together my vision board; I really feel my weight gain in my clothes and see it in pictures so I'm putting together a board to help me keep motivated and push a little bit harder when I'm working out. It cant hurt right. I'm going to include some of my own pictures from 2013/2014/2015 when I looked my best, at the time I saw so many faults in myself and if I could go back in time and give past Rachael a wee kick I definitely would! I'm also going to include pictures that I don't like of myself, which some might deem to be a bit negative but I think remembering the feeling of uncomfortableness and unhappiness will help motivate me more.
Also I still haven't taken my 'before' photo for this project- tbh I don't want them to exist so my plan at some point in the very near future is to be brave and take the damn pictures.
So I weighed in this morning and I'm annoyed at myself for eating so much this week; I had a slight loss (which was surprising in the first instance) but only half a pound really which is shit since I lost 2.2lbs last week. So my goal for this coming week is to bloody behave, not eat all the pies and exercise.
