I am very happy that I managed to lose ANYTHING over the holiday break.
With Christmas, New Year and my birthday to contend with it was always going to be a difficult two weeks. We also went away for a week to Phillip Island, so there were a lot of restaurant meals and general out of routine life.
It had been a while since I have stepped on a scale and when I did I was disappointed as I thought I had put on, BUT, when I checked my records, I was excited to see that I have, in fact, managed a small loss. Yay me!
Our holiday was pretty active. We took the bikes and walked a lot as well. Every day we walked into the main street, along the beach, and back to our house. A round trip of about 6 km. We also biked to get our groceries if it was not too big a shop. NYE we visited friends who were staying about 5 km away, so we biked over. I only had 1 glass of bubbly at midnight (I have really gone off alcohol) then at 1:30 am biked home. So one of the first things I did in 2015 was exercise. Great way to start.
Have started an exercise program (Kayla Itsines - look it up, it is brutal!) so that when I finally am rid of all of the fat there is some muscle definition to show off. Day 1 was yesterday and OMG am I sore today. From my waist down (it was leg day) everything aches, but it is a good ache.
Had to do 'progress pictures' and they ask you to do them every four weeks. I wish I had done this when I started on my weight loss. Would so love to have a comparison, but I would never have consented to take a picture back then. I'm excited to see how my body changes.
It is only because of my weight loss that I am even able to contemplate embarking on this kind of exercise regime. 30 kgs ago I would not have been able to do any of the exercises. Even now I have to modify some, but I am confident that I will conquer them soon enough. I cannot do a regular sit up ATM but I will do modified ones until I can strengthen my abs enough to do them.
I hope that everyone is starting the New Year with enthusiasm.
