Hi everyone,
Hope your weekend is going well.
I've lost 1lb this week but was hoping to have broken the 1lb/2lb curse and lose at least 3lbs this week after joining the gym last week and busting my @ss off (literally)!!!
Going there this week has reminded me why I used to hate going in there and why I've never rushed back in the last few years (actually decades!!!!). I find it tedious on those machines and everyone is so serious about their own workouts. ( not to mention that they are all body beautiful already!!! Grrr).
Am I the only one that feels that way about gyms????!!!!
When I used to go, I was given a programme to follow and promised I wouldn't weigh myself in that month. I followed it religiously but You can imagine my shock & horror when I had put ON four pounds. The trainer said that was good as the fat was turning into muscle and that muscle weighed more than fat!!! Needless to say, I had quit the gym as I was completely demotivated and didn't want to gain anymore weight before I started seeing results... Eventually!!!
Nonetheless, this time I am going to ignore those feelings and persevere as its only a month's trail and the goal post is for my nephew's wedding at the end of August. Luckily, my brother is coming too and he's keeping me from falling off the wagon... Or should I say treadmill!!!
It's also weird that I've started getting more cravings for chocolates and crisps and other junk food in this last week!!! Perhaps the devil side of my brain is telling me I can justify eating that crap as I'm working out??!!!!
Have a good week ahead folks and I'm off out for a very long walk!!
