Can't quite believe that we have reached the end of wk2 of Fat to Fit (I still like my alternative name better!).
It's been ace so far, lots of laughs, lots of torture, (thanks Chris & Chris) but as masochists we keep turning up 3 times a week for our fix :)
Fridays session was tough, far too many burpees and crunches for my liking and I was convinced that my stomach 'muscles'* would be hurting on Saturday morning.
* - I use the word muscles in the loosest sense of the word because I am in no doubt that I do not have any muscles there, anyone who witnessed my attempt at a 5 second crunch will whole heartily agree!
However, after a fun evening in the pub, consuming water, which is surprisingly easy to do, although the odd look from people who don't know why and assume you must be a recovering alcoholic, I woke on Saturday to no pain. Yaaaaaaaaaay abs of steel!!! lol
Had fab plans to hit the gym on Saturday but was called upon to help out a friend so never made it, oh well ;)
Like every weekend we have had during this program I have not felt hungry, so after having a glass of juice for breakfast, I decided at 4pm that I really should have some lunch, didn't really want it but forced myself to eat a jug of turkey chilli. That was it for food except for a cheeky Nakd bar, I love those guys.
So........ Sunday morning dawned and as we know by know it is officially LKD (Lead Knicker Day). The scales (Wii fit board) beckoned my to step upon it, I didn't want to, it kept calling, I still didn't want to. Having dreamt last night that I had gained back all the weight I lost in wk1 I DEFINITELY didn't want to get on the scales. However it is an unavoidable necessity and I duly climbed aboard.
3lbs gone, making a grand total of a stone in the 2wks :) I know I shouldn't be disappointed but I really wanted to drop 4lbs this week to take me into the next stone bracket, but hey ho, this will only serve to spur me on. Having purchased a proper tape measure this week I was hoping that it might show some loss of inches, my clothes are feeling looser so it must be happening, sadly not. Once again I measured and found that I have only diminished by about 1 inch overall, aaaarrrrrgggggghhhhhhh.
Well it was off to the gym this morning instead, I do like exercising. Some cardio and lots of core, plus some kettle bells - I am a machine! A fairly slow, ploddy type machine, but we all know it's the tortoise that wins, right?
Although we are now in the final week I am glad that the torturers are continuing with the group exercise classes, I must admit I didn't think I would like it, but as we are mostly in the same situation it has turned out to a real laugh, I hope the new classes have the same feeling.
