Post Christmas lard arse-ed-ness

Well, as expected, I put on weight this week. Boo. I estimate about a kilo. I weighed myself late in the arvo, where I normally weigh in the morning, and I have premenstrual bloating. So I can factor off some of the number.

But jeez! A kilo in a few days...

I haven't been to the gym since last Sunday. Monday/Tuesday I was feeling off (read:lazy), Wed arvo, Thurs and Fri it was shut. 5 days without a sweat. I knew I'd be up for a big session today before I even went in. But when I weighed myself I was so disappointed that I couldn't even register what the decimal measurement was. Hence the weight in the sidebar being listed as 86.?kg. I did a full on cardio session - walk/run for 10 minutes, then 10 minutes cross trainer, 10 minutes rowing machine (with break after 5 min), 10 minutes bike, then another 10 minutes walk/running intervals. Then onto weights. I did 9 machines, 3 sets of 10 to 15 reps, at uncomfortable but completable weights. The whole deal took 2 hours and I was shaking as I walked out of the gym.

Now I'm tired, and sore. I'm ready for bed.

I also have myself a new challenge. I have managed to acquire a pair of jeans that is a size 16. They dont quite go up all the way, but beginning this week I'll be keeping tabs on how far up those puppies go, and hopefully before long I'll be wearing them. Nothing quite like having a goal to work for.

Jeans Buttons: 3/5
Muffin top factor: Extreme.

Again, not much to report. 84.3kg today. That's a total loss of 12.3kg to date. Best Christmas present. EVAH!

But with Christmas coming up I'm not expecting to be losing much this week. I've had 2 Christmas parties last week, and I managed to do quite well with them. One more to go. I've already picked what I'm having. Thai beef salad. Lettuce = good.

I've been quite slack the last few days. Well, when I say slack I mean I've had more give in my diet. I am trying not to focus so much on weight loss at the moment. It is still a priority, but its not an obsession. I have worms. Have had them for months now. And I've been treating it like a good thing. That's a bit OTT and not really healthy. I'm trying to change that, but its a bit of a battle. I don't really have much else to focus on right now, and this attitude is so ingrained it is going to be hard to kick.

85.7kg.

Nothing big to report this week. Except I jogged on the treadmill today. First time ever. It was a slow jog, only for 2 minutes and I felt as awkward as ass. I'm not used to the treadmill, but its a baby step.
