PLAN FOR SUCCESS
This has been a busy week where I managed to keep sane by getting really stuck into the exercise. The weekly effort included; kickboxing class, boxing circuit class, tennis, pump class, weight sessions x 2, 3 x running session. Last Sat we had our time trials and I knocked 1 1/2 minutes off my time for 4km. I have to say I was ready to throw up at the end, a sensation I have never had before. Trainer said I was really pushing it. I still cannot run long distances without stopping but at least I walk fast!! I can now run 2km without stopping but it requires a lot of mental effort as I have to keep urging myself on.
Despite some worrying things happening I have tried to stay positive this week. I have managed to call some friends just to say hi and that helped me not to feel so guilty about avoiding everyone. I was rewarded with some compliments which for once I felt like maybe, just maybe, I deserved them. At training on Friday the trainer called me skinny and instead of replying with a negative comment about my still existing pudge I said "I Know"
Last night we went to a surprise 50th birthday and there was a woman there, (who is not very nice) who has not seen me for 2 years. She ignored me but then told her soon to be DIL that she could not believe it was me because of all the weight I had lost. We did not know most of the people there and it was funny because they were asking who we were and were told "T's boss." Of course then we were checked out more and I was able to sit proudly. I know I would have been cringing and wanting to disappear in the past. This is a much better feeling and I need to remember it for those moments when motivation is lacking.
Today I am off to the city to meet Ails for lunch, (After I go to rebound class to shake off the dessert from last night!) And of course it is only 2 weeks till the Sydney get together. Now that is exciting. I am going to persevere with the challenge to exercise everyday and stay on track with my eating and hopefully the scales will start to shift downwards. They are down on the past few weeks but still higher than lower weights I have reached momentarily in the past 6 months.
I am about to write up my exercise plan for next week and will be sticking to it no matter what. I am also going to plan for doing some things that I enjoy like the movies with my sons GF, (as my son will be away in Bendigo working for the week), a massage to help the aches and pains. It will also include doing some things I have been worrying about so I can stop worrying about doing them!
"It takes as much energy to wish as it does to plan." So that is my motto this week' Plan and plan and stick to it!!
