Feeling Fantastic

What a change a day can make. Yesterday I was feeling down and out and really disappointed with how everything happened. Today I'm on top of the world and just weighted myself and I have lost exactly 2kg in three days. I am so happy. I know you are normally supposed to weigh yourself in the morning and according to the 12WBT program we're supposed to get up on Wednesday wee and weigh. I didn't get my scales until Wednesday afternoon and I weighed myself at a similar time.

My day started better because my husband took my twins and I got a little extra sleep. Then we had a lunch time birthday party for my cousins son. Instead of driving the distance we walked with the twins. When we got there I resisted eating the nibbles and drank only water. For lunch I was very sensible and had a multi grain roll with salad. When the birthday cake came out I felt my resolve shift. The cake looked absolutely delicious. I tried reasoning with myself about how I could just have a small piece but in the end I walked outside and had none. I was really proud. My biggest problem is what I eat. I've never been a big eater but have the biggest sweet tooth.

When we got home, my house guests had gone home so I was able to do a DVD. I worked through Michelle Bridge's Super Shredder DVD. I didn't quite have enough space and the tiles were way to hard for the ab workout but I worked through it and got in a great workout. One of my twins was watching me the whole time and started laughing at me which add to the enjoyment.

After the boys had dinner my husband and I took the boys for a run/walk. We took over an hour and covered about 10km. I can already see, over almost a week, that running is getting easier and easier. I'm really focussing on my breathing which means I don't get many stitches or being too out of breath. My main problem today was my legs were hurting after doing Michelle's DVD.

Over 1000 cals burnt today and my food intake wasn't even at my allowed 1200 but I feel fantastic. This is the feeling I need to hold onto. It also helps that when I'm down and out and don't want to exercise I get my butt kicked by other 12WBT in the facebook group. If I keep this up I will meet all my weigh goals by the end of the year, if not sooner.
