I haven't posted for a week

It's all been squats, running, dancing, dumbells, medicine balls.

I haven't been following the exercise plan to the letter because i am utterly exhausted, but i have been exercising for at least an hour every day - it is all turbulence training - i.e. 2 minutes low intensity - one minute highest intensity.

My clothes all fit much better, so here's my measurements for today

Bust - 38.75 (1.75 down)
Waist - 33.75 (.25 down)
Arm - 12 (1" down)
Bum - 43.5 (1.5 down)
Thigh near knee - 19 (2" down)
Thighs widest - 24 (.5" down)

4lbs lost in one week

I've lost 4 whole lbs in one week!! WOOO

A good day yesterday

YEsterday was a great day. I got up, did my exercise, had scrambled egg on rye, came to work - went for a power walk at lunchtime, had a chicken salad. Got home, did my power circuit, went to Zumba class, came home - had a frittata (it was gorgeous) and did half my pyramid before collapsing exhausted into bed.

I felt great and i slept again like a baby.

Today has started well, oatmeal for breakfast with red berries and lunch today is soya bean salad with tuna.

Tonight is leftover fritata and a personal trainer session at the gym. Woo!

SANDWICH ATTACK!!!!

It happens to the best of us - i fell off the wagon at a meeting today.

Looong, boring meeting and hadn't had a snack in the morning so scoffed a sandwich and some sausage rolls.

NOT proud of myself, i've upped my water and my exercise so hopefully it's just a blot on an otherwise pretty landscape.

Knackered Knee work around

Messed up my knee on Wednesday night and it's been hard to do squats since, but i've been favouring my knee and doing all the other exercises that i can.

Today my butt is smaller, my bust is smaller and my thighs are smaller but my waist is a bit bigger - however it is definitely trimmer and firmer so i'm not going to cry into my quinoa.

As i've said before - when i'm waving i always have a small bit of carbs in the morning to stop my body getting too acidic - last time i went carb free i had an aryhthmia so i'm not going there again. One single rye cracker is all i need to keep me going.

Last night was a triumph!! I unexpectedly had to take my next door neighbour's very sick daughter while she had to go to work (she's an ER doctor) so i was pretty stressed which usually means over eating. However i'd roasted a ton of veggie earlier in the day and i filled up on those and chicken. So i didn't stress binge and i still feel great.

I did eat half a chocolate cookie yesterday, but i'm back on the wagon today.

It's Sunday and I PROMISED i wouldnt binge tonight and i WONT!! I wont wont wont.

Friday and i just can't eat bad food!

I started sneezing up a storm yesterday at work and by the time i got home had a runny nose and all the symptoms of yet another cold. I ate a really healthy grilled veggie and chicken dinner dosed myself with double vit c, my magnesium, calcium and zinc supplements and went to bed with a hot lemon drink.

I lay in bed thinking that i couldn't possibly have the cold again. Not again - not me. I literally thought the cold away and have woken today feeling so much better.

Breakfast was unfortunately a banana on the run and some brazil nuts. Lunch has been some cajun spiced chicken with salad and live yoghurt.

I did no exercise except twists and dumbells yesterday because i fell on the ice and twisted my knee, everything hurt - it's much better today and have done a power circuit, i've got ZUMBA class tonight then pyramid before bed.

Weigh in at the gym

At the end of last night after a punishing hour with my personal trainer, her scales said i was 12st 13 - which i suppose is fair considering i'd just drunk about 2 litres and was fully dressed with trainers.

So, my scales are in the bin!!

Day 2 of the wave - breakfast was veggies, olives and seeds. Actually hugely tasty.

Lunch is green veg soup

Dinner will be roasted aubergine with some kind of protein - haven't figured it out yet. Need to up my protein because my muscles hurt.

I BOUNCED out of bed this morning, feeling great - i usually find it takes me 6 days to get used to the elimination diet and feel great. But i feel GREAT

I went to bed last night listening to Marissa Peers CD and today it's been even easier not to think of sugar and wheat and baked goodies.

I am loving this, i'm loving the support.
