Booo Hisssss

First week off detox and I've put 2lbs back on :(

I seriously am rubbish at this whole dieting thing, but I am not despondent, well not that much!

I am still loving the exercise days and am supplementing with sessions at the gym.  I find it amazing that no matter how knackered I feel before I go, I feel totally alive and buzzing by the time we finish.
the new group is good, although I will admit to not knowing most of the new faces, but morale is high and this week has seen more fantastic results in relation to weight and inch loss - well done ladies!!

The boys are fab at bossing us along, even those of us (me) who constantly try to find an 'easier' alternative to some of the exercises :)

So, my first week off the detox and I will admit to being a little demob happy.  This week found the odd Haribo, digestive biscuit and even a cheeky slice of pizza finding their way into my face.  Disappointing for all, especially me.  I was convinced I could slacken off a bit and remain successful, I do the same thing with every weight loss program, and always gain some weight back, you would think that I would be wise to this by now, but apparently I'm not.  This is, hopefully, the ONLY week this is going to happen, I promise this to myself and anyone else willing to listen.

I know I always sound like I don't take this stuff seriously, but I do, I love what Chris & Chris are doing.  Seeing the changes in all of the ladies, both old and new, is fab, but I don't want to be obsessive about it, I can't allow it to be all consuming, it has to become part of who I am and how I live my life, not WHY I live my life :)

So, Friday is an example of my dedication to this life (well I think it is).  Friday is choir day, find us on Facebook - look for Serendipity Ladies Choir, still looking for new members :).  Anyway, back to me..... the traffic was shocking, 30 mins from the top of Westmorland to the Empress roundabout meant that I was NEVER going to make practice, so I did a 360 at the roundabout, rushed in, got changed and headed up to F2F, sooooo glad I did, fab workout and just what I needed after a stupid busy and long week at work, my 16hr Thursday had made me a tad weary!

Inspired by this I have also done two sessions at the gym, lots of abs work - dead flies and kettlebells featured prominently, along with much grunting and groaning.  Thank goodness I had the 'quiet' workout room to myself!

Anyway, I'm putting myself back in detox mode, super strict and focused.  Hopefully this will give my body the kick in the arse that it needs (I still can't get my foot to my own ass with enough force for it to be meaningful).  Let's hope for a better weigh in result next week!
