Well, yesterday I ate well all day, and then finished the evening with half a tub of Ben & Jerry's icecream. Oh well! It was worth it. Yum. I made it to the gym yesterday morning, I managed to get upto 10kph and felt quite comfortable jogging, but then my asthma decided to kick in, and my breathing started to get ragged, so I slowed to a fast walk to recover.
Sadly that was the beginning of the end, only managed about 9 minutes in total on the treadmill, and was totally out of breath. I used some of the resistance machines to make my time up and walked home briskly. Not really the same. I struggled for breath at work as well so I must make sure I take my puffer before hand in future, but I think it's coz I'm getting a cold as much as anything.
This morning I measured my waist, and whilst it hasn't got any smaller it also hasn't gotten bigger so that's a start. I've been going through a period of feeling demoralised, and lazy, and comfort eating (although nothing to match my previous eating levels) but I am determined I will lose weight eventually. I'm running out of time though, this month is running away and before I know it November will arrive.
There's talk of a Fitfarms roadshow in London soonish, (the trainers coming up and getting us to do some crazy exercise over two days) it would be good to see everyone and get spurred on again, but it all depends on the cost as I've still got the bulk of the original week to pay for.
No gym this morning, I used the extra time to sleep. Needed it. I didn't even wake up all night until about 6.30am! I had two bowls of honey nut cornflakes which was as nice as I remember but not as filling.
Ham salad sandwich for lunch, lots of fruit and a funsize pack of millkyway stars, and then dinner was a yummy burger from our local pub and a bottle of Bulmers. I left the last few mouthfuls of the burger and some chips as I was too full, but that was nearly two hours ago and I'm still bloated. I can really feel the difference - I'm dehydrated and knackered today.
Still, it's the weekend so with a bit of luck I'll get to the gym tomorrow or Sunday. I need to do something anyway!
