Hello everyone :)
Hope you’re all
having a fantabulous week :)
Still feeling under
the weather which is annoying as I literally feel like lounging on the couch
all day BUT thankfully just because I want to doesn’t mean I am..I mentioned in
my last post that I was going to treat myself to some personal training
sessions in the run up to my trip to the Netherlands on Dec 9th
(cannot wait), so I started the Little Black dress plan which is based over 28
days (but I’m doing it in 21 days) I have a total of 12 30min personal training
sessions and 5 fitness classes. I’m no stranger to personal training but only
do it every now and again due to the expense of it!
Had my first session
last Friday (15th) and flying it as they’d say! I weighed in at 12st
1.4lbs (which was a relief as I felt that I may have been up since my last WW
WI on the 8th (12st 1.5lbs) but thankfully not. I decided that I’d
try and follow the guys diet plan for the 3 weeks (I’m tweaking tho to suit my
own needs as if I have to stick with it I need to enjoy my food).
It is the usual
protein with every meal, carbs coming from veg, good fats from a few almonds
etc etc..The diet does work as I’ve tried it before (lost 1st in
4wks last nov…but then I stopped….wasn’t attending ww and gained 10lbs of that
in 10 days so ya know). It is a great way to detox your body and also give junk
a break…in saying that I cannot wait for the 3 weeks to be up so I can enjoy
some porridge without feeling guilty (imagine ha).
Anyway so far so
good, I’m breaking my ass with the training but typical, I started it 2 days
before I had a social event (which is very rare with college these days). It
was my dad’s 60th birthday last Friday and we went out for a family
meal on the Saturday…Oh boy I made great choices at the table so much so I
think the waitress wanted to stab me with a fork *so how is that cooked…no
butter/cream….have you alternative desert choices….etc* :P but I felt awful
afterwards as I had some *quite a lot* of cake etc and oh some wagon wheels and
oh some penguins…but I worked it out and I think the weeklies covered it! But
woke up Sunday morning felt annoyed but got on with it, stood on my own scales
on Monday and THANK JEEBUS it didn’t cause any gain, I was down about 0.5lb
which is thanks to the crazy exercise and also the great eating on the other
days :)
This picture is my newest 'before and after', sorry the before should be more zoomed in but couldn't figure it out lol!
17st 8lb -----> 12st 1.5lbs....so far :)
Sorry I think I’m
really just ranting away so I’ll change the subject!
Headed off to
Limerick today with my mum in search of shoes and accessories for a wedding I
have on Dec 29th but couldn’t find what I was looking for BUT….guess
what happened….
Go on…GUESS…I dare ya…
:P
I decided to grab a
pair of size 12 jeans just to see if they would fit me *didn’t need jeans but needed
to see* and SWEET JEEBUS they zipped and they fitted so much so I decided I had
to buy them *I think I bought them just because they were a 12 :P*
The reason that this
is such a big deal to me is because I have NEVER EVER fitted into size 12 jeans
and like these were proper jeans not stretchy jegging stuff like OMFG.I have
dresses and skirts in size 12 and skirts in a size 10 but like jeans NEVER wooo
*Major NSV*. Anyway here is a pic from the fitting room *oh fellow weight
watchers I was thinking of you guys and sharing my joy and also motivation*…also
how cute is the jumper in the pic…I had to buy that also…and oh the shoes…think
this will be my outfit for Christmas day lol!
Anyway yet again,
another rant over..subject change time :P
I’ve found my next
10km challenge woo! The race is actually based in a little village only 4 miles
from me and it is either a 7km or 10km route for December 26th *The
turkey buster fun run* excited about it already as I really do have the running
bug lol plus it’ll be a great way to work off the delicious foods consumed on
the 25th :)
Have my WI with the
personal training crowd AND weight watchers this Friday! Sounds silly but I am
nervous about it, I think last weekend threw me abit with the eating as I hadn’t
gone off the rails like that in a long time but I know it happens to the best
of us! And I guess there is some pressure on me to hit a good number this week
as the food plan and exercise really get you going and I’d love to get 2lbs off
as it would get me into the 11st bracket but I think I need to stop thinking
about it and just continue doing what I’m doing :)
Sorry for the really
long rant but I had to share my size 12 joy lol!
Have a great week
everyone AND remember....
Until next time,
Grá :)
You are awesome! Keep up the amazing work :)
