Well, well, hello all! It's been tooo long, I know...
I think having a blog is a bit like a diary, one only seems to write when things are crappy. So I am writing now, because the wagon and I have had a parting of ways.
I was going SO well for so many weeks, actually, I just looked back at my last blog (19 July 2012) and so it has been nearly 8 weeks. I was averaging 12 hours per week at the gym!
- 4 hours of tennis
- 5.5 hours of cycle/RPM
- 1.5 hours of Pump
- 1 hour of Yoga
It lasted too...up until last week, when a spanner was thrown in the works (family dramas) and I literally bungee jumped off the wagon and into oblivion. Now I must say, I kept the diet pretty good most of last week, but then last Saturday night was my youngest sisters 21st birthday party. I catered the event and didn't really start drinking until later in the evening, but the music was so enticing as was the dry white wine and I awoke the next morning to vague memories of salt and vinegar chips and bad, fake-cream slab cake.
Now at this point I was sure I hadn't actually had any cake as I had steadfastly refused this after singing happy birthday, but as I entered the kitchen, I remembered that mother dearest had sent me home with a large foil wrapped portion. Then I saw the remnants of icing on the kitchen bench and realised I had had a post shower 'dig-in' before collapsing in bed earlier that morning.
As I showered on Sunday morning, I also noticed my lips felt like I had burned them on too hot coffee. I mentioned this to my mum, who laughed and reminded me that I had made a very good effort at polishing off a Costco-sized bag of salt and vinegar chips the night before and that it was probably the abundance of salt that had 'burnt' my mouth and lips.
So as you can see - not good. Up until then I had been going so well! I have now lost a total of 17.3 kilos with only about 13 to go....
I need to move my buttocks and get back into it ASAP.
I'll keep in touch more regularly moving forward. Promise.
