I'm starting to freak out. Not because I'm getting married - I can't wait to be "Mrs Harrison". We might as well be married already, we have the house, the child, we've lived together for 3 years... I'm starting to freak because I SO want to be a slimmer bride. I don't want to look back at my wedding photos and think "wow... I was so fat. I make that dress look like a tent"... because its a beautiful dress. I have a beautiful venue, beautiful dress, shoes, jewellery. My hair and makeup will be beautiful. Bridesmaids, beautiful. And my husband... he ALWAYS looks gorgeous. So, I'm scared of looking like the Goodyear Blimp.
I've been working out for 3 weeks now, and in the first 2 weeks, lost 3kg... but in the last week, nothing. Not even 100g. I don't understand it... I'm working out longer, more frequently, and at a higher intensity. I'm eating REALLY well - mostly veges, some fruit, and lean chicken or fish mainly. I'm drinking water all day, have had 2 coffees in the last 2 weeks, and 2 glasses of diet coke in the same time. I know the soft drink needs to go altogether, but I've definitely improved. My portion sizes are smaller, too. My insulin requirements are much lower - I've gone, in 3 weeks, from 32u of levermir, twice a day, to 24 at night and 26 in the morning. My I;C ration has gone from 1:10 to 1:15, and my correction ration has changed massively... 1:1.5 to 1:4!!!! I'm definitely going to have to go back on the pump soon, because the corrective doses are getting too small to do via pen or syringe.
So, why no loss this week? I don't want to take weight loss supplements or anything like that, I'm trying my hardest to do this the RIGHT way this time, so that I can maintain it afterwards... not stop taking insulin so that I burn fat that way, then pile it all back on twice as fast when I start looking after myself again.
