So I began thinking ohhhh great, today was not the day for me to be amazing in any sense of the word.
After willing away time for hubby to arrive home from work and rescue me from this madness at which point he took over and I lay my sorry self down on the couch to recoup before I headed out to my weigh in meeting. If I were not about to go and get weighed I would have drank my body weight in wine (I am totally just kidding and would never condone drinking that much alcohol, but some days you feel like it don't you?)
Well it turns out things picked up at my meeting and I lost a whole ONE KILOGRAM this week! I am unbelievably proud of myself because I haven't had results like that since my week 5 and 6 weigh in's and it's not been from lack of trying. I can honestly say all the exercise this weekend really paid off. Over the whole week I did over 21kms! I promise you all I am so far from starving myself it isn't funny! That's why I love weight watchers, because I love food and I hate diets. But I don't eat the points I earn via activity which can be a lot of points some weeks.
It always goes back to that old saying 'eat anything in moderation' even the healthy things!
Anyways my RIDICULOUSLY AMAZING today was activity related even though I said it does not need to be :) But after my weigh in I went to the gym and got into the pool for many many laps of walking in the water and then I swam some laps as well. I am overjoyed that I made the effort to go because all I wanted to do was forget about my revolting day and I thought swimming will be terrible because I have nothing but time to recap. This was not the case! There were plenty of distractions. Um ok like the young amorous couple in the same lane as me :) She decided to play hide and seek when he wasn't looking and I found it SUPER FUNNY that he though I was she ( his head was under water ) and so he grabbed/rubbed my leg OMG! He popped up after a second and apologised many times. Did I laugh myself silly? Ohhh you bet I did! baahahaha Or after I had finished my swim and made the long walk from my pool lanes past the gym (you know that place where all the skinny people are?) & through to the spa lounge. All whilst holding in my stomach very firmly! Who of you would have done that? I know you would have :) Well anyway I was in the spa lounge and hopped into the spa to relax and let my muscles soak up that lovely hot water when all I hear is natter natter natter next to me sheesh! no quiet here so I get up and pop into the steam room where 3 men grunted their way through the door. And then proceeded to grunt and oooh and ahhhh the whole time I was in there, which trust me, was NOT LONG! 'Ooooooh my back' and 'ahhhhhh urrrrghhhh' then some agreeing 'URGH URGH!' after that. Off I went home to some peace and quiet....the kids are asleep!
Soooo if any of you knew me before my love for fitness kicked in very recently you would know that today there were 100 excuses for not exercising (it was raining as well) and I would have only needed one simple excuse before like 'Im very tired' to not do a single thing.
But I made my day RIDICULOUSLY AMAZING by embracing all the blah and going for it!
Next week I would love love love to have lost another kilogram so guess what that means? Yup I will need to get out and about plenty this week! Wish me luck for a better day tomorrow. I have some new tactics to try on my big boy
~ Drink plenty of water & your body will thank you ~
