So I didn’t go to the gym on the weekend – which would have been FINE had I not baked Peach Crumble Slice last night. And eaten ALL OF IT with Mr Beloved. Oh dear.
Never mind – rather than dwelling on the mistake, I took myself and my new cross trainers off to the gym this arvo.
Asics Gel 580-TR cross trainers
Did my 30 minutes of cardio stuff (Translation: panting on the treadmill while it makes whooshy up and down noises as it changes the gradient – so high tech!) and 30 or so minutes of upper body resistance training (Trans: Wobbly tuckshop lady arms struggling to lift teeny weeny weights).
Then home via the library (because as we all know, there is NOTHING TO READ in my house….) in time for Scrapheap Challenge.
Tomorrow I’ve got an Exciting Thing to do! It involves the transformation from this old version of Caity….
Caity, June 2008
… into the new (slightly more slimline!) short haired blonde seen around here lately… with more make-up. Think I’ll even ending up wearing the same top (although we might have to pin it back slightly!)
More on that tomorrow. I’ve know about this for a week, and kinda wish that I had known longer in advance, because then I would have attempted the stupid unrealistic thing of “how much weight can I lose before THEN?”!
Uh – maybe not, eh? I’m where I am NOW. That will do.
I mean, I’ve come a long way already in the weight loss/getting fit/getting healthy stuff… I’m just feeling frustrated at myself because I feel like the results aren’t happening quickly enough. I know, it takes time, it takes training – but my inner toddler says “WANT IT NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWW!!!”
Fortunately my inner surly teen whiner (“what’s the use, this isn’t gonna work, you can’t make me do this ANYWAY”) is securely locked in her room and is not allowed out.
So I’ll keep going. And going. and talk to my personal trainer after Pilates class tomorrow night about re-focussing and what I need to do next.
Time for a (lo-fat!) hot choc and a few pages before I zonk. Night all!

Caity you need to realise how far you have come. Yes, I understand you want it to happen now… but you have already made heaps of changes and maybe this will wind up your determination so you can stay closer to your eating plan and keep plugging away at the gym. I hope your talk with Gwennie was constructive.

Sue, I do know I’ve come a fair distance in a short while – I’m just WHINING, LOL!
Talking with Gwennie was really helpful. she always is – yay for having an awesome PT!
