I'm pretty much over my cold now. Just have this sort of chesty cough which is clinging on in there but hopefully I should be rid of that too soon (even though my mum keeps insisting it's a lot more awful than it is...). I haven't really been posting much on here because to be honest, I didn't really feel like doing it and also I wasn't really doing any sort of exercise over the past week.
I gave up on the idea when it first struck because I felt awful, then had one day of doing exercise, then it was fat day and then after the cough struck (I don't always get a cough with a cold but when I do it lingers) and I decided not to bother because it would only exacerbate my chest. But, despite that I was trying to control my calories enough that it wouldn't make a massive impact and it didn't! I got on the scales this morning and I'm down another pound. Not bad at all considering I had zero motivation and just wanted to eat warm, comforting food all the time to make myself feel better.
I'm down to 13 stone 11 pounds now. I feel that once I make it to single figures I will feel like I am well inside the 13 stone mark. That's how it worked with all the other milestones so far, I'd get to like 14 stone 9 and then any sort of fluctuations would happen only between lower numbers and the nine. I think subconsciously I just didn't want to cross back over into the double digit territory which is always good motivation. I am very excited to be losing weight again though!
Today's exercise was sooo easy. I have no idea. Well I do, two days ago I had the urge to watch the Battlestar Galactica mini series..which is about a three hour long introduction to the series (which I am not planning on re-watching just yet). So I decided to go with it, I find the exercise goes much quicker when I'm watching something I feel like watching. Today being a fine example of that very phenomenon. I was so involved in what was going on on screen I barely noticed the 40 minutes flying by. It was awesome. I did my 'rowing' too which I'm hoping is having some sort of good effect on my arms. I mean I guess the muscles do feel a little more solid...better than nothing anyway. And as I have discussed before I can't do too much with my arms because my neck muscles play up and go wild. Could be something to do with the warm up but I don't know.
Food wise I have been good too I think. I skipped breakfast as I have been doing during the week at work (I relent on a weekend because I don't get home till 2) and had a gluten free bread sub, half with half an avocado, tomato and garlic and half with blueberry jam. I also had a yoghurt and later a malteasers bunny with a coffee..Incidentally I think the coffee does not agree with me after all this time of not having it. Someone had used my decaf so I used regular and my stomach has been playing up this evening. Not chancing it again I don't think. Tea was two teeny baked potatoes with low fat cottage cheese, a slice of bacon and some beans. I had another yoghurt with that as a desert because I wanted to..Then I've just had a bowl of coco pops as I was starting to feel a bit peckish again. All in all I should be around the 1500 mark, and definitely below it with the exercise so a good day all round. No nibbling for me!
Right I think that'll have to do for now. I need to go and get a beverage and wind down for sleeps, and also take my old doggy down for a wee as she's been up here a few hours without one...That and she keeps dropping death farts and it's starting to make my eyes water.
Tatty boo!
