All is going well, im still very much enjoying going to the gym and leading a more active lifestyle. This week i ran for ten whole minutes on the treadmill. Ok so it may not have been the fastest or most stylish action but i ran and i didnt have a heart attack so im pleased about that. I am starting to see results now and even though in total i have lost five pounds so far i couldnt see where from but yesterday whilst i was running i was looking around for things to distract myself with (anything other than the clock on the treadmill which im sure slows right down when i get on) and in the mirror infront of me i could see that my thighs are definately getting smaller !!! my other half is telling my my tummy is smaller but i cant see it. I do love his description of how its not hanging as much as it was !!!! if that doesnt spur me on then nothing will. The workout plan done for me at the gym is defo to easy so have been doing a few extra bits. My brother came to see me the other day and was very supportive and gave me some tips on what i should be doing.
One thing i am finding is that my friends although on the whole are all being very supportive there are a few who are intent on leading me astray. I have had it all, right from "cant you just miss the gym today" to " i take it you wont be coming for lunch anymore" No i cant just miss the gym, im massively overweight and to be honest i dont really want to go to the harvester and stuff my face. So far no gym sessions missed but i have just come back from lunch where my friend took it upon herself to order my food for me. No healthy option for me then. I know, i could just have said no or simply not eaten it but once its infront of me thats a bit difficult. Also i bloody paid for it so i was going to eat it. Tomorrow an old work friend wants to meet for lunch so thats twice in one week. It feels like i may as well have not bothered going to the gym this week. It sounds a bit like im being unreasonable but you wouldnt ask your newly recovered alcoholic friend to the pub would you ? Oh and on saturday night im meeting my best friend and a whole bunch of other friends for drinks and although im not worried about drinking making me put on weight i am worried that getting up for the gym on sunday morning may not happen, so the plan is stop drinking at midnight and then i should be fine as our gatherings have a habit of carrying on till 4 or 5 in the morning ! Its not like i get the chance to go out often so im going to enjoy it.
Next week the plan is to step things up a bit, at the moment im doing four gym sessions a week spilt over three week days and sunday but im not doing anything in between. I have three davina workout dvds so i think i will start doing one of them on a non gym day along with some ab work as i dont feel im targeting that area enough.
