Still Counting

It’s time for an update on the status of my Project Me.
Sadly, I have not lost as much weight as I had hoped to. Such is life, I guess.
I am waiting for that eureka! moment. The moment I get on the scale again and all of a sudden after weeks of eating well, gym classes and out right being boring I am miraculously 20 kg lighter. Ok maybe not 20, but at least 5 dammit!!!!
I have stuck to my guns and besides for the odd extra cup of coffee or two and gazillion litres of wine (yes I know wine is so wrong, but so freaking right, makes life interesting and fun) and one night (after a gazillion litres of wine) when I had a big fat cheese and ham toasted sarmie at midnight, I have been so good. Even going to gym almost every day. I have the evidence to proof that.
I keep on telling myself that:
My body is definitely changing. I can see it. Not feel it so much in my clothes as seeing it when I stare at it in all my nakedness in the privacy of my own bedroom mirror.
This is only the third week. And after 18 months of the most unhealthiness I have ever subjected this body to, surely it will take a while to adjust to healthy food and exercise?
I have lost almost 3 kg’s and they say loosing 1 kg a week is healthy, my issue is that most of that was lost within the first week. So WTF!!!!!!!
Interesting stuff I have noticed:
I am really really not hungry, ever! This eating plan allows me to eat often and lots. The way I like it. I never have to stare at someone’s plate of food and wish it was mine because I am just so freaking hungry as on any other diet ever.
Vegetarian meals seem to be my thing. It is as if my body responds well to veg (I won’t go into the details, you figure it out). WTF (again), I grew up on red meat basically. 36 years and 50 weeks of red meat as a staple food and now I realise that this body might not cope with it? Weird shit.
I called the new gym my “happy place” yesterday. WTFWTFWTFWTF!!!!! I am not a gym bunny type. Seriously. But I am really enjoying it. I can feel how I get stronger, and can do more. I vary my exercise from yoga and pilates to spinning and zumba and then doing my own thing on the circuit. I swear it really is addictive. It is not something made up by skinny bitches, parading around the gym in tiny outfits doing who know’s what.
I will take it one day at a time and keep on fighting the good fight, they do say a healthy body is the home to a healthy mind, don’t they?
