Wow I just saw that my last blog post was on Wednesday which is testament to how busy I've been. But here are the main things I wanted to catch up on.
Last week's training achievements were my best for a long time. The week before was marred by bad weather and a stupidly crazy work schedule and although work hasnt changed much, at least Mother Nature has been on my side. I managed to train for a solid 7 days straight including:
Saturday: 1 hour walk
Sunday: 90 min Bikram yoga
Monday am: 55 min walk
Tuesday am: 55 min walk; pm: 90 mins Bikram yoga
Wednesday am: legs
Thursday am: 55 min walk
Friday am: upper body weights with supersets to get through all major muscle groups.
I was mighty pleased with this effort :-)
I have on a couple of occassions snuck a little peek at the Metal Monster to see where the numbers sit. I dont really need to as I have the best gauge ever - a pair of size 11 jeans that have no stretch in the fabric. To wear them I need to be in the 65s and there is no negotiation on that. Well I've been wearing them for a few weeks now and true to form my peeks both showed my weight to be in the 65s so happy happy with that.
And as August draws to an end I'm another month along in my journey to be binge free and enjoying a wide variety of foods. I still marvel at how relatively simple its been since I stopped forever trying to lose weight, restricting my food, living with an all / nothing mentality and allowed myself to trust me.
:-)
I'm so happy for you Magda in this journey and how easy you are finding it... I feel sad that it wasn't that easy when I stopped dieting, but so glad that I have you to talk to and that I am finally getting help! Eventually I hope my weight will stop going up and start to actually come down
ReplyDeleteCongrats Magda
ReplyDeleteSimply AWESOME!
Magda I hope you didn't take my comment the wrong way...

Excellent job Magda!
ReplyDeleteKristy, if it helps any, making conscious choices to move you away from gaining weight plus self honouring behaviours really help.
Hi Kristy, I know EXACTY what you mean. Read my post today as a bit of a reality check that puts things into perspective on whats achievable and whats not LOL.
ReplyDeleteThanks Shelley. I still have a way to go but I can certainly celebrate my successes (DESPITE today LOL)
Thanks Liz and I feel really good about what I've achieved irrespective of today's events.
