MIA
Has been a while since I blogged for myself although I've been visiting everyone elses blogs on the sly. Just haven't been feeling too good, migrains, TOM, and just generally trying to work out a few things and also applying for a new job, which always seems to take up all my waking hours when I'm not at work.
So, quicky updates so far. I think I may have lost a bit of weight, but again I'm not willing to weigh myself just yet cos I don't like scales much so I'll give it a miss. I did pretty good at the gym this week 5 days out of 7, which is a new milestone for me as I usually do 3 before conveniently forgetting to wake up in time to go to the gym. I also upped my weights at pump class today, not that I was going heavy in the first place so I actually have a lot of room to move, just that I never thought my knees would take the strain as they are usually quite painfull. After a lot of debating, I decided I'd up my weights anyway and deal with the consequences later. So far so good, not too much pain so happy about that. On the food front, I have been in a good place lately. I have developed the clean eating theory, which I follow about 80% of the time, leaving me guilt free when I do decide to indulge. This means that I eat mainly unprocessed foods, wholemeal bread, yogurt, fruit, tuna (mmmhh), chicken, all the usuals most of the time, then when I indulge, I try and make sure that it's something I really want, say a glass of red wine, a slice of cake. Also trying to increase my veggie intake, so been having lots of veggies with my meals. I like this way of eating cos I don't feel restricted, and it seems to be working.
My plans are to continue as I have been, because for now this works. I feel healthier, happier and stronger both mentally and physically than I have in a long while.
So sorry about my sporadic blogging, I guess it's just one other thing I will need to work on.
