Who can believe its day 16..... and things are going well still - although it is still tough.
Apologies for the lack of blog. I think I said in my last one that I'm really busy at work at present, as I have a holiday club I am preparing for next week! All great fun, but lots to do!
Well, I went back to the gym yesterday for an hour, and actually pushed myself a bit harder with levels. In approximates yesterday I:
- Cycled 3km
- Ran (on the cross trainer) over 1km - and those who know me will know that this is the hardest part!
- Hill Climbed 100m
- Rowed 1.3km
Thats not bad! I'm trying to diarise an hour a day to go the gym around my schedule - time to relax a bit when things are busy - and also keep fit.
I also played my regular 5-a-side last night. Very hot in Chaffyn Grove sports hall last night and the sweat was pouring off of me. But after 3/4hr I felt a twinge in my ankle and decided to go in goal for the rest of the evening. Doesn't feel too bad this morning, and won't get in the way of Gym which is quite low impact on my body.
Sunday was the toughest day of the diet so far!! I had so many cravings during the day. We had roast chicken for dinner and the bit I always enjoyed is the skin (which I'm not allowed anymore because it has all the fat in it!)... oh, to be able to chomp on a bit of skin would have been heaven - but I had to throw it away for temptation caught the better of me. I actually love the Slimming World diet because roast is encouraged... with lean meat and as much veg and dry roast potatoes as you like - and then you can have a bouillon based gravy using water. Now the gravy isn't gravy really - its like veg broth, but it tastes ok.
Sunday evening.... I could have murdered for a packet of crisps..... McCoys to be precise! fortunately there were none in the house and I chomped on fruit to shut my cravings up.
Also seem to be drinking lots of water now... which is great... Good for my old wrinkly skin! LOL.
Anyway, I resisted the urges, and seem to be doing well! As I write, its 36 hours to the 3rd weigh in. If its a couple of pounds I'll be chuffed, but we shall see. Excercise and Diet should equal WIN - but the body is a funny old thing isn't it!
Thanks for all the donations and sponsorship monies that are coming in! If you still haven't had a chance - its not too late; go to http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/SimonFutcher and add your support.
It is so humbling and a real driver to see that support and know how much the Bridge can do.
Until tomorrow evening! God Bless
