Oh my goodness......I am KNACKERED. Really need to have a rest day and luckily it is Saturday tomorrow! Got up this morning and went to the gym, almost didn't go (as normal) as was just feeling so tired but just did the usual thing and got up and got going... Arrived at the gym a little later than normal but still managed in a 30 minute run... The first 5 minutes I always spend walking at a quick pace to warm up so ran straight for 25 minutes but was running at a 4.3mph pace and so covered just over 2 miles. This morning I enjoyed the run but did struggle towards the end, my mind kept on saying just turn the speed down a bit but I didn't slow down and kept on telling myself that is was my mind that was giving in not my body and that I could complete it...and low and behold I did complete it with no regrets. Because I started slightly later this morning I didn't have time to do any crunches or squats but I am not beating myself up about it as to be honest my body is aching... 6 days in the gym on the trot....whoop whoop!
I have noticed today however that because I am tired I am wanting to eat "Comfort Food" and I will totally admit that I have had a couple of biscuits today but I have calculated them into MFP and am sticking to my limit no problems. It's so annoying because of those biscuits weren't in the office I wouldn't have had them... but because they are there and I am tired my willpower is pretty much Zero!
Yesterday I bought some really nice Beige colour Skinny Jeans from M&S (£22.50) and was very happy to report I just slipped on a size 16 (Have been size 20/22)... I did try the size 14 but am not quite there yet... I really like them as they will go with quite a few of my tops and can be either dressed up or down. They looked perfect from the front and I did look at the back quickly and all looked good... I tried them on again at home just to be sure and then had a proper look at the back... and OMG... I am really not sure about it....I don't think they are doing alot of favours to my backside but also not sure if it's my warped vision of myself or the mirror.....Basically I realised how chunky my thighs are which is funny as I had been thinking my thighs and hips have been looking alot better recently.... I am going to show you what I mean with a very basic drawing...
Do you see what I mean...? So when wearing light coloured jeans I just thought it really accentuated how my hips are alot wider than my arse... and I think your arse should finish or align with your hips... not like above! The extra "Hip" after my waist is going down and is considerably better than it used to be... but still not totally smooth and that is what I am really aiming for... to have that clean smooth line on the hips... I am going to wear the jeans tonight at home and see what Biggy says... I also know that the squats will help as since losing weight my arse has got flatter...still wide but now just flat...
