Kettlercise Challege Day 14 - 17 including Cheat Day

7th July 2014 Monday

Day 14 on the diet - thats 2 weeks. Bit disappointed in my weight loss this week I must say! Dads scales are a bit crap though, and I weighed myself on Liz's and they are pretty accurate on a hard floor.  On those I was 13st 12.5lb, that was Saturday. On Dads I am 14st 3lb. Thats quite a bloody difference!!  haha.

When I started working out in January I weighed myself on Liz's scales and was 15st 6lb.  Thats 218.5lb.  I now weight 192.5lb. Thats 26lb loss. Thats 1st 12lb.  Nearly 2 stone!


                          23/6/14            4/7/14             19/3/14 (START of measuring)

Under bust (28/6)36"             35.5"                38"

Two week difference:
2" off my waist then. Thats pretty cool! And half inch off my left arm? Bizarre!  Bigger hips?  lol bubble butt!

3 month difference:
4" off waist
1" off bust
5" off hips
2" off thighs
1.5"off arm
3" off bum
2.5" off under bust

= 18"


Weight today: 

Starting weight: 207lb (14.8lb)
New weight: 200lb (7lb loss, thats half a stone in 2 weeks).

So, was a bit pissed off, but seeing it in black and white, thats not so bad is it?!

And NO cheating at all in 2 weeks?  I'm amazed at myself.

Funny thing was I thought it was a cheat (sorry! Treat Day as Mike will nag me otherwise) day today and its not! Thats tomorrow!!  idiot!  Luckily I worked it out last night so still on plan!

Food diary

8am Strawberries, a few blueberries, 6 almonds, green tea, Water, CLA
11am -eggs

2pm - meat & veg - probably turkey steak and brocolli, some tomatoes grilled or something.

2.30 work, not home until 8pm.  

Plan:

4.30/5pm - shake (take milk in flask)

7pm - shopping, eat ham salad or similar (take in lunch box) and CLA
8pm - nuts

8.30 - Kettle

9.45 - shake

Another nice thing that happened? Went to Primark shopping for Daisy and tried on stuff for me.  Some of which was too big (never happened, ever, in that shop).

Bought a size 18 ribbed vest top that I thought might stretch out under a baggy pink one I have.  Looked pretty small but I thought if its too small, I will fit it in September.

Fits.  Easily.  Where did I go?! 

Wish I had bought a smaller size in the work blouse now.... cos its lovely, but its going to be too big before long!

Cheat Day! Day 15, Tuesday.

Ate all sorts of stuff, but not as much as I thought. Result? Felt CRAP and couldn't wait to get back on the plan! It was a really busy day, so i didn't have time to really enjoy it, which was a shame, so I fell back to eat when hungry, the fastest thing. I did have chocolate, which was nice (nice and thats it), frazzles - EVIL!!!!  Frazzles repeated on me and with all the wheat (2 sandwiches) I felt sick as a pig at class.  OMG. Never again...... Next cheat day is my birthday and Im going out for a meal with my mum at lunchtime, think that will be nice and I will enjoy that.

Today is Day 17, Thursday.

Had a better day back on plan yesterday and danced all night at Eden sessions with the Pixies.  Great fun. Fab Kettle class at lunchtime and really felt good - could have done another class :D  It wasn't easy but I felt strong and in control.

A shift in my mind - not only CAN I do this, but its happening!  I am that other person.  Its unbelievable but the conviction is strong.  In my head I am there already.

This morning I was physically exhausted.  SOOO tired.  But am happy and bouncy now I am up and working.  Sadly no HCore as I have a meeting at school for my youngest to start attendance - that IS more important (not a lot is!!).

So back to Boxercise tomorrow - wanted to shove a  bike class in but youngest has to be at school for 8.30 for a class trip, so thats way too tight!  Doing the double on Sat - bike and Kettle, so looking forward to that.  Then another day off?  hmm.

Will be working on my press ups daily I think - also sitting against a wall! Both feel weak areas.

Food today so far:

8am strawberries, blueberries, yoghurt, green tea, water, CLA
9.30 shake
10.30 green tea
12.00 apple and ham, water
