9 Days Straight At The Gym..


Proud to say that I have gone to the gym 9 days in a row and planning on going tomorrow and Saturday and finally having a rest day on Sunday... I am totally knackered today but think that's because I slept quite badly last night.. I was in bed by 10pm and think I must have fallen asleep around 10.40ish... I defo didn't see 11pm... I have loved going to the gym and because I mix up my routine it doesn't feel like I have been working out all the time... this is what I have done (about to brag)

Wed: 40 Min Beach Body Workout with Weights
Thurs: 30 Min Cross Trainer
Fri: 40 Min Beach Body Workout with Weights
Sat: 60 Min Cross Trainer & 15Mins Walking
Sun: 30 Min Swimming Breaststroke & Sauna
Mon: 30 Min Run
Tues: 40 Min Beach Body Workout with Weights
Wed: 30 Min Swimming Breaststroke 
  Thurs: 30 Min Run
------Planned------
Fri: 40 Min Beach Body Workout with Weights
Sat: 60Min Cross Trainer & Walk or Bike
Sun: B-Day Celebrations and REST

I have got rid of those pesky extra lbs I gained from all the bread I consumed but so far the scales are staying still on 182lbs...I am sure that I will be able to lose the 3lbs I need to by the 28th BUT I have 2 things running through my mind....Firstly that it's my Birthday this weekend and Biggy and I are going out for Dinner over the weekend and on Sunday we are having a big Family BBQ to celebrate...then on Monday my mother is taking me out which will involve lunch out, Tuesday we are going out for a cream tea and Wednesday night I am going to my parents house for dinner as my cousin is over... so as you can see that's a whole lot of food related time coming up and although I know I can stay strong and make wise choices but it's still going to be hard... The Second thing is that the last time I was 182lbs (4 years ago) I remember staying bang on 182lbs for ages and actually not getting below that... I hope that it's not the case now...but we will see... 


It's funny though because slowly my priorities are changing...although I want to keep on losing weight I am focusing more now on toning up and getting my body into prime shape... my ultimate goal now would be more about being toned and healthy than just thin... don't get me wrong I still want my weight to go down... but if you told me I can be 162lbs tomorrow but still have wobbly bits... or I can stay the weight I am now but have every part of me toned, firm and strong I would take that any day over a number on the scales! For the past 9 days I have really been enjoying the gym and although I am knackered today and my legs are a little sore from my run... it's a happy pain as I know I am using my body and making it stronger and better....! Don't I sound like a different person?!
