Hellooo everyone !!!
Well today is week 3, day 1 for me , Saturday !. I am going to be exercising {cardio} treadmill, doing hills, starting with walking for 30 minutes ,3 x a week and 2x a week pilates....Why I am scared is that IN THE PAST I have ALWAYS done an eating plan with exercise, I love being physical all day, even when I was a tired I would push myself to exercise, or garden, or just keep moving, I drive my family crazy at picnics they all want to sit and eat and talk and just chill, and all I want to do it walk and, play ball games etc.. The irony in that is ,I am the fattest one in the family and they all ideal weight ,lol ...Anyway every time I have done cardio or resistance training and an eating plan, I ALWAY PLATEAU, FOR WEEKS ,last time it was 10 weeks and my body would just not shift the weight ,I am short, and have loads of muscle mass, well all covered in fat at the moment, but I have big calves and thighs , these I did not gain at gym, but inherited, some men cry at gym when they see my calves, hahahaha,I was a swimmer at school and played hockey , I am also extremely flexible, as fat as I am with the huge tummy I have ,I CAN STILL touch my toes where my thin family cannot even sit on their haunches for long , hahah,SO I REALLY HAVE NO EXCUSE for doing any physical activities ,my enemy is exercise, I PROVED IT TO MY FAMILY AND MYSELF over the last two weeks not doing any strenuous training ,only stretching and pilates , I have lost so much in the two weeks and still eating good carbs ,I have never had a weight loss like this not even on WEIGHT WATCHERS ,OR LIGHT AND EASY, So I must be doing something right , right ? ..BUT I want to OVERCOME, ALL my challenges, CALORIES AND EXERCISE at a balance that works for ME personally for the REST OF MY LIFE ,so I am going to tackle this obstacle for one last time, GAINING MUSCLE IS A GOOD THING NOT MY ENEMY, and a loss of 500g is a good thing too.. BUT my challenge is when this happens and I DO NOT SEE RESULTS ON THE SCALE OR ON THE MEASURING TAPE, will I stumble mentally to carry on this time around, I will make sure that I DO NOT EAT the same foods and DO NOT EXERCISE the same way , every week, so not to plateau, BUT if even doing that causes me to plateau, THEN I will be confronted with my past failures and this will be my "demon"to face and I will truly need ALL of your advice on this if it comes to that , I am hoping that there are some of you out there who have had these challenges too, and have overcome them, and can advise me ,when and IF I go through it again .I cannot begin to tell you ALL how much it has helped me writing down in black and white to "strangers " about my struggles, goals, achievements, disappointments etc etc, helping me face THE TRUTH AND SEEING IT IN BLACK AND WHITE and being accountable for myself and knowing that I have gained only support from you all and maybe some friends along the way too, so after two weeks now ,you all do not seem like "strangers" to me, but a "camaraderie" on the same journey to overcome the same common goals....MAY YOU ALL have a gr8 positive rewarding week ....
