My real low point this week is that the dress arrived. It doesnt fit. I was not a happy lady. Poor hubby ninja.
Im back to square one.
Its not easy seeing it either. It really is a mental game at the moment with me. I know it is and I seem to be on struggle street with it. I feel like I was on such a roll when I started out, I was busting it out on my own with no gym or trainer. Get into week three with no movement (or seeing a gain) on the scales, I started to lose that momentum. I get thinking if Im slaving it out and getting no results why bother? Than the old excuses creep back in...Im tired...Thats the favourite and one I just cant seem to say NO your not, JDFI!
I talk on here sometimes like I have all the determination in the world and honestly sometimes I do. I feel so motivated, I do it but than I get to Wednesdays and I want to pack the whole thing in.
I vowed that I would spend more time on the 12wbt site and forums....I havent.
I thought I could really do it on my own with no gym, no trainer. I honestly didnt understand how hard it is mentally. I do to much thinking in any said day, I like the idea of not thinking about it when I go to the gym. I miss group classes and I miss having a trainer.
So my resort at the moment to how I combat the issues Im facing - I get proactive and make a plan:
- I had my bloods taken for a heap of tests. I have thyroid issues within my family. Its something I get tested every few years to see if its okay. Its always been on the iffy side which is why I "think" I have trouble dropping the kg. My body clearly doesn't function like everyone else. I felt like the nurse was a vampire on Monday. I think they took something like 6 or so viles of my blood. Results I hope will be back by Friday. Will keep you posted!
- Someone/thing in the universe, must of heard this whinge loud enough because as of yesterday on Scoopon, I got a deal for a place that does purely just classes, near where we are living. They dont do RPM but they do boxing, pump and Zumba. I bought one. I figure if its good, it might be just enough to get me through til we move. If its crap, well I only shelled out $9!
- I have also booked in for a DEXA scan which I am having done today. This HOPEFULLY will be the mental kick in my arse, I need to push me to push myself harder. For those who aren't sure what this is, totally research it, the information is really amazing (Some info - http://www.measureup.com.au/body-composition and where I am off to after work - http://www.adelaidebodyscan.com.au/)
- Im going to start planning again for dinners and lunches. I stopped doing this around week 6, but food wise I was doing well planning and ninja hubby liked having an idea what was on the menu.
- Im reading information on foods (reading Lola Berry's book at the moment) and trying to be more creative with clean healthy food. I know my issue is I go to simple carbs because its easy and its due to lack of planning. I am the kind of person who likes to be armed with the information to help make a decision. One thing which does bug me is the fact that most food plans call for cooked lunches and breakfasts. I simply do not have time to do this (nor the facilities at work to cook lunch!) so I need alternatives for lunches at work! So any ideas, throw em at me!
- Im going to spend some more time on the 12wbt forum page. Im going to make an effort to watch the videos. I will sign up for Round 1 as well and I will follow it to the letter. Im not gonna get into a bikini in April if I dont!!!
Could you possibly post how your DEXA goes, how much it costs and what the parking is like? I'm SERIOUSLY considering one as a confirmed before and after type of a deal but if it's out of my price range or travel capabilities I'll be dev'd. I really like your blog :) I can't find the energy to write all my thoughts, I just talk to myself instead lol
