Ok so in my last post I was struggling big time, but I went to my slimming world class on Wednesday again even though I was dreading it because I thought the scales would show that I’d gained in weight. They actually said I’d lost half a pound….. which considering how much junk I’d been eating before hand pleased me a lot and. I had also got up for the 1st time that morning at 6.30 am and did a 45 minute workout.I also did that again on thurs and fri morn too. After my workout on Friday morn I weighed myself out of curiosity and it said I’d lost 3 pounds since Wednesday, so that was a huge boost and showed me that waking up at silly hours to work out is proving to be a good thing. I decided it best to do it first thing in the morning because for one after I’m done and I’m all hot and sweaty I can just jump in the shower before my day starts and also because come the afternoon when I’m free to work out I’m usually feeling too tired to by then so struggled to get motivated. I’ve also read that exercising in the mornings can kick start your metabolism sometimes lasting for up to 24 hours…. I don’t know how true that is though. Ok well thats the good bit the bad bit is I’ve pretty much pigged out all day today, but have had backache and all the other symptons thats associated with that time of the month, and know I’m due on any day now. I’ve just felt non stop hungry today. I have tried as best as I could to eat a lot of foods that I’m allowed to eat freely through the slimming world plan but have also eaten too much of what I shouldn’t to. But have decided to just say to myself…. Ok I’ve had a bad day and am going to get back on track tomorrow. I don’t want to weigh myself down with two much guilt, because as they say Rome wasn’t built in a day….and usually when I’m due on I’d be scoffing about 5 bars of choccy a day and today I’ve had just the one….. Anyway I’m going to workout tomorrow though can’t say I’ll be setting my alarm for 6.30 to do it!! But in a weird way I’m looking forward to Monday getting here, I kind of like the structure of doing it at the same time each day and already I am feeling the benefits. I haven’t had to have my usual cat naps in the afternoon that I used to and feel like I have more energy…. I’ve even signed myself up to do a 6 mile walk through slimming worlds charity to help raise money for the nspcc….. Them scales had better of told me I’ve lost some after that!!! lol

Anyway today despite the bad case of eating too much rubbish today generally I’m feeling good….. I’m sure this journey will have more ups and downs but I just have to try and remain focused. Keep on picturing myself as I want to be both inside and out.

Good luck to everyone!
