OK, so its exactly (almost) 2 months since my last post and that just goes to show how lapse I have been on focussing on my goals. I have put almost all of the weight back on and I am so disappointed in myself. What did I think was going to happen? Being back at work is harder to stay motivated and it just goes to show that this must be a lifestyle choice now and that I just can't afford not to eat healthily and to exercise, it just doesn't work for me.
I am making a new pact today with myself to get back on track, exercise at least 5 days a week, up the momentum..I started this yesterday with a 40 minute run but even then I felt like I didn't push myself to the limit, I could have run a little faster or for a little longer. I made vegetable soup and then went to vedas and had 2 gin and tonics and fish fingers and chips - seriously?!!!!!
Time to cut out the crap and to get back to 'eat half as much' 'exercise twice as much'
What is my why? Donna always talks about the why being big enough. My why? Because Im sick of looking at myself and being disappointed in what I see, I want to show my body off on my next beach holiday, I want Paul to get excited when he undresses me. I know he already does, but when I see him, it makes me weak, and I want to feel like I am doing the same.
Get back on the fitness pal where there is nowhere to hide!!
BE 132 BY XMAS DAY!!!!!!!! Thats 7lbs in 23 days 2.3lb a week!!
Watching the Robin Sharma videos have inspired me even though he says that you shouldn't wait to be inspired, you should do your best work and that will inspire you.
4 habits for extreme achievement are:
1) it all starts with your self identity - am I seeing myself as average, if I do then I will not do the things required to be ICONIC
2) Develop world class will power - will power is a muscle, it'll be hard at first, messy in the middle, gorgeous at the end. Do things for 66 days continuously for the will power to become a ritual, freeing up the will power to be used on other things. It is important to rest though 90/10 6/7
Willpower = rituals and routines
3) Don't wait to be inspired, do your best work every day and this will inspire you - theres great power in starting - dream big, start small, begin now.
4) There are 2 types of income - financial and internal. The Internal income is the worth that you feel , who you become when you do great things - what you receive inside.

Week 6 - final week
Its been up and down a bit this weekend as I've been away and eaten out all weekend - having said that I did try not to overdo it as I didn't manage to do the slimin6 exercise. I was back at work today and didn't get up to do my morning workout but did the thin thighs and abs workout when I got back even though I was tired and hungry.
What pleased me this morning was the scales showing 133.6 which now means that I have lost just over a stone. I can't even remember when I was last 133.6!!!!! Result!
One week left before final weigh and measure in!!

26 days in - mojo is back
"if you want to do it - you'll find a way...if you don't ..you'll make excuses"
I've been working hard at 2 -3 sets of exercise a day but this has been difficult to achieve when I am working. The diet really could be a lot better - although there has only been 2 days when I have gone over what I should have but I know in myself I am having too many things which are not strictly clean and therefore I know I will not lose as much as I potentially could have. I have lost in total 4 lb which is a fair bit on my frame but I have days where I feel like Im not losing anything. Today though I hit the gym big time after a mammoth 2.5 hr session yesterday, I did 2.5 hrs today including almost an hour of running in a 45 / 13 ratio. I did mostly all the weights in my programme and did the squats/ lunges and abs from the slim in 6. I'm feeling it now but thats the idea...if its not hurting...its not working! I felt great coming off the gym floor and started to think that I'm looking more toned , even if I still have a bit of a belly, my abs are starting to show through when they are worked. It won't be long before they show permanently. I don't think I should weigh myself or measure until day 30, so that gives me a few days to get some real work in!
C'Mon Lisa - you can do this - get your PMA back and busting!!
I've just looked at the picture that i put on the first post - OMFG!!!! I am making progress!!

Day 16 Beach body!!
Day 16
A weigh in and I have lost 3.6lb and 3.5inches in total. I wasn't feeling good today as I had a bit of a tough weekend what with Paul's op, so I was at his and didn't do any exercise, we also ate out at a carvery and the cafe so I feel like I have slipped recently. All things in moderation are ok but in these early days I really should try much harder to keep the fat out of the diet. Its been tough whilst Ive been back at work to get 2 workouts a day in but I need to try and keep on top of that. I'm making some steady progress but I know I could be making more than I am. I think maybe I am due on which is why I have sweet craving. I just need to stop making excuses and get on with it. KEEP GOING!!!
Started the next phase today - step it up, OMG its almost double the time and intensity, I couldn't keep up, especially the floor leg work. My groin actually hurts again tonight and I'm sure my glutes are going to know about it in the morning. It took 5 days to get used to the first workout , I wonder how many days it'll take to get used to this one. Did the slim n limber today too.

Its the start
Day 1 (although I am catching up on this)
I have decided that I am going to do the beach body plan. OK its american, its cheesy, and I bought the pack off ebay rather than pay full price. But I am totally committed now to doing this. I am so sick of being heavier than I want to be. I eat fairly healthily and I am active but nothing is working.
After chats with Paul, I realised that I am trying to fuel myself for workouts when what I need to do is actually pretty much starve myself for them so that my body uses my fat reserved. DUH!! why didn't I realise that!
Day 1 workout, I honestly thought it would be too easy because I'm pretty fit anyway. But what a shocker, it was a killer! and I can't imagine doing this everyday. I am committing to 1200-1400 calories a day and 2 x workouts a day with one rest day.
DECIDE....COMMIT...SUCCEED!!!!!!
