Weeks Six and Seven: COMBINED! :o

I don't know where the time has gone, but apparently it has gone somewhere other than my past fortnight. Therefore, this is a proper blog - no videos today. (Mainly because I hate editing but also because of the no-time-thing too.)

As a result I am two weeks behind in my posts. (And sadly, behind in my weight loss too.)

I am disappointed with myself and here is the reason why:

Week 6:

 Week 7:

I am trying to be positive. After all, 13 sessions in the gym is better than no exercise at all (as was my custom). It does, in fact, equate to almost one gym session per day, more than many people, but I am disappointed because I feel like I am slacking.

I was genuinely sick, and I have been busy with rehearsals and the show is on this week (just finished the first night!) so I do have reasons why I haven't been as diligent. But to be honest I could have made time if I had really tried.

But there is no excuse what-so-ever for my diet. It is despicable. I didn't even bother writing it down and I have been forgetting about my green tea and Liproxenol. But I have begun reading the Gabriel Method and I am very impressed and intrigued.

Long story short, I am going to follow the Gabriel Method because clearly dieting is definitely not my forte. But, luckily, meditation is. Stay tuned!

Finally, these past weeks results. Week Six and Seven combined results are as follows:

Dun-Dun-Dun... No loss whatsoever. In an entire fortnight. It goes to show exactly how much my body is thriving on the exercise. Well, don't worry, physical me, there's always next week. :)

Week Five: Adding Muscles to the Mixture

Straight into it this week! Lets goooooo...



Are you wondering what a perfect week looks like? Wonder no more, I'll show you. :)

And, for all my hard work this week, I was rewarded with my awesome measurements...

I'm so happy this week. I have nothing negative to... oh... you want to talk about diet? Umm... Well... Okay then. Click for Food Journal

Yes. Diet is the actual bane of my weight loss experience. I can gladly work out, get used to the taste of Green Tea, spend a fortune on toilet paper, pour bottles of pills down my throat. But when it comes to controlling the amount of calories I put into my body I can not do it! As soon as I think "diet" my stomach starts growling and my brain obsesses over food. I can't help it! I HATE it!!!

So this week I just didn't bother. I wrote down what I ate, but other than that I ate what I wanted, when I wanted, and I didn't measure a single thing. And you know what? I don't care because...

I look freaking AWESOME this week! Lookit that almost non-existant back flab!!! I am one :) girl this week...

Week Three: A Farewell to Freedom

Yes. I have sold my freedom to the "Fat Fairies". But in return my weight loss journey should be much quicker and easier. I have begun a diet, despite my insistence that I didn't want to, and so therefore, wouldn't. It was with a heavy heart that I bade farewell to the endless supply of crisps, cake and other assorted yummies, and began my first Food Journal.

Food Journal's are a valuable tool in weight loss. We can track exactly what we are putting into our bodies, count calories and it could (hopefully) help us to avoid "bad" foods. We are less likely to gorge if we know we will be held accountable for the calories in a Food Journal!

Below is my Food Journal for Week 3 (Starting Thursday). My diet is based on 1,200 calories, but I am lenient with myself if I am feeling truly hungry (as opposed to the dastardly "peckish" and the "bored eating"). So without further ado, may I present my first Food Journal.

To make this successful I am going to have to learn about proper meal balancing; fibers, grains, and all that. Having never cared about what I eat, I am totally naive when it comes to food and nutrition. And just to make it even harder, I am vegetarian. I've never been one to do things in halves... :p

Enough about diets. It's making my brain hurt. Lets take a look at how the rest of the week went...

(I lost the Days of the Week somewhere in the process...)

Only 20 minutes down on the workout chart this week... not too shabby, eh? It's the best week I've had so far. Or so I thought until it was time for the Weigh In...

I must admit I was a little shocked that I didn't lose more than I did this week, especially from the bust. I am pleased, of course, that I haven't gained anything since I have begun. Likewise, I am pleased about finally having some loss from the hips! I'm not deterred in the slightest, just a little disappointed...

Anyway, I must be off. I am still sat here in just my underwear, (see below) and I am freezing. Summer has left us and it seems it has taken my sensibility with it. I can not afford to get ill and take precious days off from my routine. Not when I have a pretty little dress to fit!

 

See you next week!
