hiccup

Saturday, July 19, 2008

I was so sure, this morning that I'd shifted at least 1kg, 1/2 even...I'd jumped on the scales yesterday but ignored it because it wasn't my normal weighing time, but today there it was, 2kg HEAVIER. I'm in tears. Ok, I know I'm not tracking my food but eating wise this week wasn't any different from any other - I could at least have stayed the same.
Oh why does my state of well being have to be so completely connected to my WEIGHT? I was really looking forward to today and now I'm a complete MESS. I'm trying not to cry out loud so my dear one is not disturbed and distressed too. 2 kg. Do you know how long it takes me to shift that and yet I put it on in a WEEK.
I went to the gym 4 times this week, I ate my own lunch, I didn't eat after 8.
I know everything's so much worse at the moment just because everything's so much worse - I can't help but immediately connect this back to my pregancies, when I stopped exercising, when my body statrted to change. Such a mountain to climb to get back in shape and not even a baby to show for it.
So, what can I call on from my armoury of 'how to feel better' to get over this?
1. writing this has already helped
2. nice messages from other sparkies (thank you)
3. browse website for inspiration and consolation
4. wear prettiest matching underwear
5. cycle out to see house on market thinking of buying
6. look on the bright side - although the scales are being unhelpful I do actually feel fitter and more toned, maybe it's muscle weight built up to gobble up the fat weight in double quick time.

peace.

another acupuncture session followed by an good hour's strength sess to make up for missing pilates yesterday and all on top of last night's bucket full of wine... hence .
Writing this is my last attemp at 'doing something' before I give in to the jelly type relaxed collapsable state that is enveloping me.
Apart from creeping hang-over am feeling pretty good about everything.
ok, going to bed now.

cake v cardio

Wednesday, July 16, 2008

ok, so I was a little hasty yesterday when I talked about not having any urges to over-eat... succumbed to the biscuits today. However, on the up side: had a glorious half hour swim, yesterday with the lane to myself, had another good gym sess this evening and so far have resisted the temptation to break my streak and eat after 8. Need to look into spark tools for balancing exerecise and calories - seem to remember didn't do this properly last time and would probably do better to make sure my calorie goal works with my cardio.
Moods were also more stable today although I did feel tired a fair bit.
Wore my new skirt today which has gone down well with the dear one - not standing on scale before the weekend and not measuring myself but definitely feeling ,more toned - hooray.

magic beans

Tuesday, July 15, 2008

here's a funny thing, I was going to ease up on myself re the eating treats and things but for the last few days I really haven't felt like indulging. I suppose knowing I can have it later takes away the impulse... that and the bean salad I'm having for lunch! It's a bit disappointing really because I was looking forward to a guilt free tub of Ben and Jerry's and I just don't feel like it at the moment.

The chinese herbs are having some kind of effect on my hormones but I'm not sure it's the right one - on top of hyper mood am having hot flushes. I feel like I've been on serious detox. All a bit weird. Still, made it through today despite a lot of rubbish at work so I plan to stick with it at least until I see the acupuncturist on Friday.

Hope to make it to the pool this evening once my dinner's gone down.
