I’ve always had a weird body, in terms of shape, size and ways of working. It confuses me!. There’s weeks where I follow my diet to the letter, watch my alcohol intake, exercise more and make sure it’s getting everything it needs to lose weight, then I step on the scales and boom, 1lb or 2lb on. There’s other weeks where my diet has went to pot, I’ve had a hectic social life and been drunk a number of days, abused my body, only had the 1 gym session with no other exercise that week, I step on the scales and boom, 3lb off!!
My metabolism has got a lot better since I started attending the gym and my diet is night and day now. I consider what I’m putting into my body before I do it, I weigh up the pro’s and the con’s whereas before I just used to plough on regardless and if I wanted it I had it. That’s not to say I deny myself things, there will be times I go for it when I shouldn’t, but by and large I make sure I try and find a substitute, I look for the healthier option.
I’ve been big since I was born, coming in at 10lb 2oz at birth and I’ve grown at a steady rate since. I have been developing bad habits which will take time to change but rest assured they will change.
Last night I had a cracking session at the Gym. 22 Mins on the treadmill followed by Bench Presses, Deadlifts, Steps, Bicep curls, lat pull downs, straight pull downs, Kettle bell, Straight rows and side pulls. I felt great all the way through it although the sweat was lashing off me and the heart was deffo pumping.
The bit that annoyed me was the weigh in and the basis for this blog. I had watched what I’d been eating, knocking back takeaways and alcohol, I’d been more active than recent weeks away from the gym, I had hopes of a good weigh in and then the scales stop and I’m 1.2lbs up. I’m perplexed, but not downbeat, I can feel changes, I can feel differences, I can feel the good that’s coming from the workouts and the eating better.
The next 3 weeks will be a big test as I won’t be getting weighed or going to the gym and I go on holiday. I’m determined not to let it throw me off track though and will be keeping an eye on what I take in although I will also be enjoying myself. It’s about finding the balances.
I wanna come back under 25st as the 3 stone in 3 month challenge is still in effect, and trust me when I say I don’t wanna have to do the forfeit!!!.
