Hi everybody.
Hmmm, so as the title of this post suggests, I'm feeling a little under the weather right now. Very nauseated, a bit headachey.
I've begun to notice that when I eat something I haven't eaten in a while, or am naughty and graze, my
body reacts almost immediately in a very negative way. Instead of a happy stomach that I'm feeding with yummy things, it clenches and squirms and makes me want to throw up. Case in point- right now.
I'm going to blame the milo I had about 5 minutes ago.
Ewwww.
I know I should be grateful that my
body welcomes things like cold water, crunchy apples, sushi, coffee and mandarins, but it's scary to think that it's going to reject everything I haven't eaten in a while.
On a more positive note, I've been getting a lot of compliments lately about my
weight loss, so apparently it's noticeable. I'm having a hard time picking up any differences in the way my
body looks but as my friend said 'you see yourself every day, so its harder for you to spot the changes' and i think she's right.
My parents have both told me how great I'm looking at the moment, my friends are super complimentary and even my friends parents told her to let me know that they think I'm looking wonderful. Hearing that kind of stuff makes me happy, yes, but I'd really like to see a change! I figured that I can judge my changing size and shape by how my clothes fit.
My size 12 jeans are becoming looser, and I have a size 14 pair of black skinny legs which now need a belt or they'll fall down. I can also feel my hip bones. I HAVE SOME!
My breasts are shrinking. That makes me sad!
But it's
fat, I guess, and atleast it's coming off..
Exercise wise, this weekend, I went for a nice run/power walk along the lake for about an hour on the saturday and on sunday I did a 30 minutes
weights circuit at the
gym, an hour
yoga class (which my
abs are aching from!) and another run along the lake. Then I walked over to the markets to get a skim latte and a blueberry bagel from the gorgeous man who always flirts with me. *sigh* Haha, maybe one day I'll learn his name..?
Not weight-loss related but my 'boyfriend' and I stopped seeing each other on Saturday. Rather, I decided I wasn't interested in him any more..
Also on Saturday, it was my friends birthday. A large group of us went bowling. I made sure to eat before I went and was not at all tempted by the McDonalds everyone else was snacking on. I AM drinking far too much coffee at the moment though. I should work on that. I just like the taste so much.
My
body has always been such a big issue for me and now I feel like I'm doing something about it. It's nice. I'm feeling a lot sexier, a lot more confident already.
As always, my routine is thus:
Mon-Fri
6.30 - 8.00 AM in the
gym
After school:
Lake run/Power walk (50 minutes ish)
Saturday:
7 - 8.30 AM in the
gym
Lake run/ Power walk
Sunday:
9 AM - circuit class or
cardio in the
gym
9.30 AM- 1 hour
yoga class
10.30 Lake run/ Power walk
Still eating, and maintaining......!
Basically:
1 small bowl oats with skim milk
1 small glass of orange juice
1 large green apple
water
1 sushi roll
1 mandarin
water
1 milo / 1 mandarin
dinner
water
I'm never really hungry much any more, which may be a result of all the exercise?
I hope everyone's well <3
