Hey all!
Today has been a good day so far
I went to the gym this morning and it was GREAT!!
Not only did I do week 2 session 2 couch to 5k on the treadmill, and I used the stationary bike, elliptical, rowing machine, weights and ab trainer, BUT on all the weights and the ab trainer I added more weights and I still did all my reps! I felt SO pumped afterwards, after I'd had a shower and some breakfast etc, I actually thought I could feel the endorphins pumping around my veins!
And although I was tired, I am only slightly achey now, and I felt I recovered quicker than usual too- my heart rate slowed down, and my red face returned to its normal colour, quicker than usual
It makes me feel good, that even though I'm not losing weight at the mo (I weighed this morning and actually seem to be back up to 154- how is that possible?!
) I can see and feel the improvements in my body and fitness levels- which helps me to care much less about the lack of scale co-operation!
Any minute now some frineds are coming over, to celebrate a birthday. They are all getting pizza and eating a big birthday cake we cooked earlier. This is where my good day could fall down! BUT I've just eaten a HUGE plate of a kinda stew thing I made, which has nothing but veggies in (leeks, onions, mushrooms, sweetcorn, carrots and corgettes, in a spicy lemon and tomato sauce I made) and I had a lo cal hot choc drink too, now I feel STUFFED and all ready to face the pizza temptation and win! I am also only going to have a sliver of choc cake. I helped make it earlier- and ate a spoonful of the cake mix already! (I guessed about 150cals worth
) So just a sliver will do me! If I feel myself wanting more I'll just brush my teeth lol!
Right, I'll come back on later to post todays stuff- and hopefully will be feeling all proud of resisting all the naughty temptations that will be put in front of me this evening!
