Well what a busy week i have had this week, i discovered my love of making baby shoes, and i have been getting alot of sewing done. I am going to see if i can make some "buy the boys tap shoes" money by selling shoes, i am keeping them as soft soled 0-6 month and 6-12 month, the latter being in a non slip sole. and i have a head full of so many ideas its awesome. i have been testing out some crocheted ones as well , i will post a pic of them when i get a pair finished in a colour i like.
these are just my first few , i have a lot more practising to do and will get them to a perfecto level.
Today marks the 4 week mini milestone, it is weigh in week, plus...dundundunnnnnn measure and fitness test.
My results are as follows, after 4 weeks, i have lost 1.7kg, yer i know, bloody slow but at least its coming off.
my measurements, down 11.5cm making it a total since Feb of 57cm in total body size.. Cant help thinking it is taking its bloody time with my double chin lol,
so today's scales were
tadaa 91.1kg, that's 800g loss this week. which is a change as i was just dropping teeny bits for so long. lets hope my head is in the game more.
I had noticed i was still cheating myself on calorie intake, some days just so hungry i would snack too much and it would show so much on the scales it frustrated me, but i didn't let it get me down as i knew i was not being the best i could be.
I have been far more vigilant with what i eat now. Its funny cause i hear people saying how they have struggled with the exercise but are doing well with the food and yet I'm kicking ass with the exercise, doing training 6 days a week regardless and still seem to mess up my food a bit, not in a really bad way, just in a damn i shouldn't have had some of that kind of way. i still behave and don't ever ever drink soft drink, i don't drink diet drinks, I'm not eating chocolate like i used to, i have not eaten chocolate for a couple of weeks , as in bought a block and had a few squares, just in flavour of my belvita breakfast bars. So i know i am really close to being the best i can with food but not quite there yet.
I have been making sure i am more active. ans really pushing myself through my training, Saturdays i do my hour of dance class , then i go home and do another hour of my SSS, super Saturday session and i train my ass off, last Saturday i burned 705 calories just in dance and training so i was very pleased with myself.
i was going to sneak in another vlog but Tatjahna is home unwell and i hate trying to video anything with kids around , it always goes pear shaped lol.
oh I was supposed to be in court this morning for the DVO application i applied for , and totally missed it as i was doing my damned fitness test. the judge threw it out of court. and now i have to make a new application , i was rather annoyed. I will go to the courthouse and get it all done.
Speaking of fitness tests, today was a calorie burner, whoa, me running a kilometre, its crazy as i see these women posting in the forums about the 10 and 11km runs and I'm like wtf, how is that even possible lol. i normally do 300 meter jog, then 300 meters walking then 400 meters of walk/jog, cry, beg and plead for it to be over... lol its almost like that anyway. Today i jogged 600 meters non stop, then power walked for a hundred then jogged the final 300 . i was thinking holy shit woman how are you doing this, you are a machine rawrrrrrrr... well for a brief moment i did cause my head was doing this......... OK Gayle find your pace and stick to it, that's it , too fast wait, yes that's it nice and steady, this feels good and you are breathing good too. wow look at you go woman, ohh careful bit of a pot hole there , nearly threw a shoe. phew you kept going , good work, oh no a cars coming, its OK , you are lighter now so you don't look as bad, but oh gawd what do i look like? my face might be all red ooop another pot hole, head in the game Gayle , that's it, whooo, kinda feeling it now , breathe slower, easier, innnnn and ouuttt , oh thats right I'm supposed to breathe out and in through nose, warm the air, OK better try I'm starting to pant here... innnn through nose, out through mouth damn not enough air, in out in out in out , ugh how the hell do they breathe while, they do this, gee my legs are shaky, what if i fall over, how embarrassing oh crap another car, what the hell is my chest doing , please don't look at me just keep going Gayle, damn these boobs are really trying to free themselves today. silence for a brief while, that's 600 I'm allowed a breath walk for a minute , damn i need air, innnnnnn and out innnnn and out, walking , i still feel buggered , i may as well be jogging, so back into it, you can do this , look its not far now, oh look at that funny dog , hello little one,,,, concentrate..... 100 to go, take it home , push push push, i think I'm going to hurl or pass out. almost home whats for lunch?
yes my head does this the whole time I'm running, i need to up my game a lot and learn to shut my brain up when I'm doing this its like a reunion in there.i kept pushing hard cause i knew that mum knew CPR lol. well i hope she remembers it. * note to self do CPR refresher course just in case.
I finished in 5 minutes 22 seconds which is 30 seconds faster that 5 weeks ago. i gotta be pleased with that..
as a final note, i took Tatjahna to the doctors for her chest infection, which is all cleared up now, and asked the doctor about the coughing i got after my run and he told me to not breathe the air through my throat and to make sure i either use my nose or wear a scarf over my mouth to warm the air as i breathe it , i figured i might try that next time. i just cant get enough air through my nose at this time of year. then i told him of my 57cm loss and he was like , you are looking really good, you will have to let me know if you become single , i like women with ambition... should have seen how freaking fast i got out of the office lol. I'm so glad i don't go to him for pap smears.... what is it with pap smears anyway, i mean we go into the room and the doctors gets us to disrobe and we get the sheet thing to cover us for modesty ,but i always hide my undies under my clothes so the doctor doesn't see them then get on the bed thing and just open wide anyway... why is it more embarrassing to have a doctor see my undies than it is for them to be foraging around in my vagina like they are looking for their keys. i really just don't get that lol...... Have a great day, I'm off to crochet.xx
