Yesterday I drank 3L of water, which is quite a lot! 2 during the day and one during and after zumba.
Ever since reading that if you do exercise you have to make sure you drink a lot of water or you risk putting ON weight, its almost become an obsession. I'm addicted to water! Who'd have thought!
Before I started SW I would say I was addicted to diet coke/diet pepsi. I hardly ever drank water.
Since then I hardly ever drink coke and if I do I find it really sweet and it gives me a headache. Funny how your tastes change and how your body adapts to whatever you put in it.
I cant believe I ate so badly for so long. You hear people say 'treat your body like a temple' and you think yeah yeah hippy dippy talk. But actually its so true, your body is all you have, you should treat it well and with respect for the amazing machine that it is.
Anywho... I'm hoping to get in a bit more exercise over the weekend. Possibly badminton tomorrow, and a long walk round Sutton Park on Sunday before visiting the in-laws. I can take my snazzy new camera with me too and take some pics on the way round.
Exercise this week - 25 minutes on the bike then 10 minutes weights, 1 hour zumba, 1 hour badminton, 1.5 hours walk. I think that should make a difference this week, but then I thought that last week... I'm trying to stay positive though, I don't think I could face a none loss 2 weeks in a row. I really really want to stay motivated and not seeing results for the hard work is the biggest demotivator going.
I'm 30 in 3 months, when I first started SW my 30th birthday was my target date-this gave me 7 months to lose 4.5 stone. It was possibly a little ambitious... little did I know I'd be a 'slow loser' and 4 months in wouldn't even be half way there.
I've learnt along the way that setting target dates only ultimately leads to disappointment and I've given up doing it now. I am just going to keep plodding along and I will weigh what I weigh when I get there. I know this much though, it will be at least 1.5 stone less than I weighed on my 29th birthday. And that's something to be proud of.
