Yesterday, I was lazy. I woke up at 9am with little man in my arms... He'd snuck into our bed around 1.15, and stayed there. I got up with him, did some housework, had a friend come over (one of my amazing bridesmaids, and an incredible friend, Jenny), went to the shop with mum for more invitation stuff, and did... well, no minutes on the bike, treadmill or cardio twister. I still ate well (cauliflower rice with chicken and veges, cooked in organic coconut oil for both main meals, and a spinach egg-white omelette for breakfast), but didn't burn many of those calories I put in.
I can finally see, however, that my work is starting to pay off. After a week of no movement on the scales, I've suddenly dropped 1.4kg in 3 days. Its not a MASSIVE amount, but its a change, and it renews my motivation to get moving and keep moving.
I've started this morning with a far too early text to a friend (sorry Maia! Had to reply as soon as I woke!) then 10km on the bike. Again, i worked at a higher intensity, and by the end of my 10ks, my legs were killing me. I figure thats a good sign lol. I'm trying to keep my heartrate up while I work out, making sure that I'm in that "fat burning" zone all the time. I do need to start extending the workouts a little more, and pushing through the pain, not saying "oh my legs hurt, time to get off". I'll never get to my goal wedding weight otherwise!
It'll still be another week or so until my fast cleanse stuff comes, so until then I just keep working hard. I honestly don't think there would be too many "toxins" in my body atm, from food and drink sources. I'm sticking to teas (green tea or rose and vanilla tea) in chilled water, or plain water. Breakfast is either a fresh egg and spinach omelette, porridge (oat and linseed, rather than just oat) or a smoothy. Lunches and dinners are essentially vegetables, with some chicken, tuna or salmon. If I snack, its mainly been fruits, or vege chips... and I've just discovered raw food bars. The Macro ones are the only ones I've tried, and they taste amazing - kinda wondering why I didn't get onto them before, really! I get a healthy snack and my chocolate fix all in one. Win-win.
So, in 4 weeks, I'm officially 5kg down. Keep at it, and even if I don't hit my goal, I'll know I've worked damn hard for it.
