Wednesdays weigh in showed a 100gram increase. that was expected as i had way too many hungry days , damn you winter, damn you to heck. i would have thought that having a crocheting hook in my hands all day would keep me from eating but i managed to do it anyway.
so i have managed to make each child a beanie this week and have a few more to make by order. i will show off my handiwork , albeit i have been crocheting since i was 7 but never followed a pattern i just made scarves or blanket things. i taught myself how to read patterns now and have been making them all week. so I'm still a novice crocheter.
This week i have been more used to the severity of the exercises, i also do not whip myself anywhere near as much with the skipping rope so all the skipping on our super Saturday workouts has been mostly done, i say mostly because after about 700 skips i was starting to think i would black out lol.
I went for a thyroid check up last week with my doctor and my levels are good apparently. I still am symptomatic so its always a burden. I had my blood pressure checked and it was low. i had finished a workout an hour earlier so it must have lowered my blood pressure. That explains why i feel a little off after some workouts so i will have to keep an eye on that.
i have been taking more pics lately and making collages of old pics of me and how i am now. if you have been following my journey you will be able to scroll through and see some of my pics from the beginning.
today my daughter messaged me and included an pic that was taken in may last year , she had thrown me a surprise birthday party it was just a few of us and i remember it as it was a sweet thing for her to do. I don't remember her taking the pic but she found it on her phone today and sent it to me , when i saw it i was brought to tears, I didn't even fathom that i looked like that to me i knew i was overweight but i didn't think it was all that bad, seeing the photo today really showed me that i had really let myself go, given up and thought it was just how it was going to be, That it was all going to be too hard and i didn't know how or where to start on my way to a healthier slimmer me.
Well its now a whole new story , i started this journey and it has flown by, it seems like a whole different life before, that it was so long time ago but it was this year, and only a few short months ago. So much change in such a short time.
so here is that photo of me that she sent me and the picture beside it is of me this week.
No wonder Damian is so supportive of me, he sees that smile on me more often , a smile of achievement and vitality.
My workouts are hard for me sometimes, like today's when i finished and broke down and cried, my body's way of coping with the endorphins i guess.
I also have a nice little collection of clothes from Michelle Bridges One Active range so the pic top right is me showing off my new One Active jumper to Damian. the top middle is supposed to be a walking lunge with arms above head but I'm thinking its closer to an impersonation of E.T.
The bottom left is a smaller version of the one in my comparison pic above, the collage maker ate the rest of the pic lol. and the final right bottom pic is me trying to see if i am developing any biceps yet . It really does take a while for them to appear when there is still so much insulation covering them.
I better get off here and have some feet up time before i go to sleep for the night , i shall make better efforts to get some posts through this week, i was even going ot do a vlog but the time goes so blooming fast, i am going to introduce you to my 12wbt vege garden son too :) take care
