Didn't lose anything this week. Or gain. Guess I should be happy about that. I skipped two workouts at the start of the week, but definitely put extra effort in to the rest. Going back to Phase 1 sounded so lame but I've just made it a lot harder for myself by adding extra weight and doing the more difficult versions of all...
Thank you! :) I've only been writing this blog since the start of January so I feel so happy that I've hit a thousand views already. So far my blog has had readers from Finland, Sweden, United Kingdom, United States, Germany, Canada, Netherlands, Australia, Spain and Ireland! I'd love to know a bit more about the people who visit my blog. It's always...
I was meant to start Phase 3 yesterday. I managed to go through one circuit, although I was just sitting down for half of it because the exercises are too demanding on my back. I'm not going to risk it, I'm just going to start over instead. I want to get my core stronger before I do something that advanced. Yes, I'm very...
Not worried at all. :) I ended up taking this week off from BR because I haven't been feeling well, only gone for a few walks this week. Not bothered about a tiny gain, it'll vanish during next week when I start exercising properly again. Not worried at all. :) I ended up taking this week off from BR because I haven't been...
I've had this shirt in my wardrobe I haven't been able to wear for months because it was way too small. We were going out tonight and realised that "Hey, I've lost weight. I wonder if the shirt fits?". Well, it fit perfectly. I am so happy! It's the little things that make it all worth it. ...
I was going to post my progress pics yesterday but two things happened. There's one flaw with living with the in laws. We only have full body mirrors in the master bedroom and when the in laws are home, I find it pretty rude to just march in there to take pictures of myself. :D And I'm OCD about certain things. I noticed...
I've struggled with sleep for a few nights in a row now. I find it hard to fall asleep and then end up waking up several times over the night. Last night I was accompanied by a massive headache when I was trying to fall asleep. I've also been feeling quite odd today, my body just seemed to... crash? Was just minding my...
So. 100 grams away from the weight I was two weeks ago. Well balls. :D I just keep hovering around the 80kg mark which really annoys me, I've only lost 4 kilos in total so far. And measurements! Numbers in brackets is the measurement at the start of Phase 2. Weight: 80kg (81,5kg) Arms: 32,5cm (31,5cm) - the amount of muscle I've gained...
Last workout for Phase 2! :) I keep saying this over and over again but it just goes so fast it's unreal. Been doing this for two months now, only one to go. Maybe a bit disappointed with the results so far after seeing all the adverts with these highly overweight people turn into athletes pretty much. Then again you really don't know...
My back's been an absolute bitch all day. I kept getting really random muscle cramps earlier today, the entire right half of my back would just spaz out and ache like mad. It calmed down during the afternoon but then I went for a walk and now my lower back is on fire. This is not fun. At all. I feel like exercise...
So, Sunday's result was just purely water weight. I had a depressed rant to my friend about my WI and he just calmed me down by saying its just water weight because my diet was madly heavy on sodium over the weekend. He told me to drink extra water and it definitely helped. Been drinking like a race horse and its dropped my...
Upset. Frustrated. Feel like giving up. Shit week. Two birthdays, no exercise on Friday because of feeling ill and back pain and had no chance to make up for it. I feel like I'm going in circles. End of Phase 2 next week, those results will look awful.... Again. ...
So my order from Sports Direct arrived today! ^_^ Very happy with the stuff I got, everything fits nicely and so on. I took a risk by ordering size 10 trousers as I've been a 12-14 til now but I'm quite happy I did, I think 12's would've been way too loose. Going for the smaller bra size was a good choice too,...
Felt like it's a good time to ramble on about something non weight loss related for a change! :D As probably for a lot of people, music is such a huge part of my life. I like to sing, I listen to certain songs when I'm feeling down, I LOVE screaming my lungs out to some of my favourite songs when sitting in...
So yeah, like I mentioned in the previous post we had a little gathering today. It was to celebrate a close family friend's 50th birthday, and you know, there was cake. It was a very cool 2CV cake with all the detailing, on top of looking very cool it was really nice. All the icing was rather sickly though and it hit me...
Well, was definitely hoping for a bit more. But then again, a loss is a loss. Family gathering today, a bit nervous because I know there will be a lot of treats everywhere and I need to have some serious self control so I won't eat everything. :D ...
Time goes so quick it's unbelievable. Swapping dvds again on Monday. I quite like only having one cardio workout per month, it's such an easy way to track progress stamina wise. Apart from stopping halfway through to get more water, I didn't need to stop to catch my breath at all. Two weeks ago this workout was pure agony and I pretty much...
