A short one for tonight so you don't have to listen to me ramble on about nothing in particular. I quite like writing the 'small blogs because they always seem to become longer than I expected them to be. Why don't I start by reflecting on my exercises for the day.
This morning I really didn't want to get up and exercise, it was one of those mornings where the bed was that little bit too comfortable, the warmth of the duvet just perfect enough for me not to want to let in any air and an atmosphere of drowsiness enough to make me not want to open my eyes, whilst not being completely asleep. It was lovely. But rise I did as I knew that tomorrow was weigh day and I wanted to start the day in the right way. It's been a while now since those feelings stopped me from getting up. The automaticity of getting up and getting on with it is something I think we all have to learn if we want to do the things we really want. It was pirates this morning and I'm not that keen on pirates. I know the benefits and by the end I am always glad I've done it, but there just isn't enough push to make me feel like I've done a workout.
Additionally, I have done 18,550 steps at this current moment in time, I have been shopping, been to the the tip, cleaned, made lunch and also watered the garden. Oh, and also enjoyed the sun and sat and read underneath our new parasol. Life doesn't get better than this.
Additionally, I have remained within a few calories of my 1680 daily allowance and have tried to eat as little bad foods as I can, although I will admit to a beer and a packet of crisps this evening in the waning sunshine in our garden, reading and smiling at how great my life is.
Last week I was 12 stones 2.6lbs, so I'm hoping to have lost at least 1lb, more if I can but I'll be happy with 1lb. I am always excited and incredibly nervous on a Friday evening, knowing that I will be weighing myself the following day, nervous about whether I will have lost, even though I have been mostly great all week. It doesn't matter how much exercise or how few calories I've eaten, I always wonder whether I have lost weight. I'm sure I am not the only one, but I am still excited.
And so, until tomorrow (you'll have to wait until Sunday to find out if I've lost or gained or maintained), stay strong and stay safe.
Thanks for reading.
Sean.
