Hmmm, well it's been a while since last writing something down. Since last writing I have lost some of that excitement that I initially had when I signed up and I really need a good kick up the backside to get it back! As it is Wednesday, I weighed myself today - 83.5kg, so all up a 3.5kg loss since signing up for this round on the day it opened. I think it's a great result, but no where near what I could have achieved if I'd have put my mind to it. I think what was holding me back was my fear of hubby's reaction to my "fitness phases" as he calls them.
Needless to say, whilst I still haven't confessed to hubby that I have signed up, most nights I have been cooking recipes from the cookbooks which he very surprisingly has enjoyed. He also came home last night to the coffee table stacked full of jars of pasta and other cooking sauces which I can't bring myself to throw away, but will give them away instead! So last night, after making the Pad Thai (with some extra chicken for the carnivore - aka hubby) we had a talk about the 'new' foods that I have been preparing over the last couple of weeks. I've told him that I really want to make this work and that I have to do this for our family. He said that he's proud of the fact that I have been sticking to the recipe books for so long as normally I'd only last a couple of days. I have another 'incentive' too - each year my work holds a mid year party, this year it's on the Gold Coast and is a Gala theme - I want to look smokin' hot, it's in about week 9 of the round though, but I can have a pretty good crack by then at reaching my goals.
Hubby also told me last night that his mate asked him yesterday if I'd lost weight. Mate came around for a short visit on Saturday and asked Hubby yesterday, so Hubby told me not to get a big head, but people are noticing, which does surprise me as 3.5kg doesn't seem like a lot, but my lovely neighbour also said the same thing to me yesterday too.
I know I have to get rid of my excuses and JFDI, getting my head right is going to be the hardest thing. I've lost that 3.5kg with hardly any exercise, just imagine what I can do if I stick to the plan properly. I have to give it a crack. I've never liked to be the centre of attention, but there is something nice about people noticing that you are getting smaller - it might just give me a big head after all!!
