So it has been a few weeks, but I have an excuse!!
So some of you may be thinking that I have fallen off the wagon, havent been blogging, havent seen me at the gym, well....
Rather than fall off the wagon, I was more "thrown" off, ran over, then the wagon reversed back over me, did a burnout on my back and ran back over me....
hahaha!
No as I stated in my last blog, I had been working really hard and I kept my promise of training twice a day, so for 2 weeks there I was doing 10 sessions a week and really good training too, was feeling fantastic.... or so I thought, according to the doctor I over did it and after having a baby I need to understand I cant do the things I used to (yet!). I came down with a reeeeally bad case of tonsilitis because of running myself down and was quite sick for 2 weeks. My tonsils were so swollen and infected I had trouble breathing and up until a day or 2 ago I still wasnt 100%.
So after 2 weeks of doing nothing but rest I was devastated as I felt like all my hard work went down the drain, especially that I didnt get to weigh in for the week! I was so excited to weigh in on the wednesday because of how hard I had worked but I got sick on the sunday so never got to the gym to weigh myself!!
So after 2 weeks off I gently got back into it and now a week later Im having another week off!!
Yes you remember in my last blog I told you I was having surgery on the 29th? Well Im sitting here now with a wad of bandages around my head and I can already see that Im swollen and am starting to resemble an avatar. But pain wise Im not doing too bad, so I think in a couple of days Ill be able to go power walking.
Anyways back to my story. So in my last blog I set my goal, I was to lose 4 kg by my surgery date and finally be under the 90kg mark.
So you can imagine my devastation when I got sick and couldnt exercise and to top it off had a diet that consisted of bread as I was also vomitting and told not to eat dairy, so was stuck with toast for breakfast :(
So I knew that this last week being able to train there was only so much I could do but lose that weight didnt seem possible.....
I was too scared to weigh myself at the gym yesterday morning as I simply felt fat. I felt bloated, and just upset as I hadnt been able to train properly for a few weeks. So I didnt weigh myself.
So you can imagine my surprise when I jumped on the scales at the hospital.
After all my sickness, and fear, and very hard training I was in total shock!
The scales read 88kg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now they arent the gym scales so Im sure there will be some difference but not that much! Ive lost 5.5kg in just under a month!!!! Not only did I reach my goal but I beat it!
And guess what?! I now have only 3 kg until I reach my pre pregnancy weight and then only 8kg until i reach my first goal! I have now lost 14kg!
Part of me wants to drive to the gym now, bandages and all and weigh myself just to see what the gym scales say so I have an exact number. Dont worry nobody would recognise me, they would just think that theyre shooting the next instalment of Avatar at Viva Fitness.
So I am now sitting here planning my next weeks meals, its time to get serious again!! I have decided I may now use the Woolworths online shopping so I can just buy everything I need and not fall into any traps at the supermarket, plus it does make it a lot easier not having to go to the supermarket with a baby.
Lastly on a personal note, I am back teaching again!! I will be teaching a Tuesday and Thursday 10:15am Body Pump class at Revive fitness and hopefully in the next few weeks I will be back in the spin room where I belong teaching the Wednesday 9:15am Freestyle class at Revive! And I may be back teaching kickboxing classes at Viva soon too!!
IM BACK BABY!!!
Laryssa :)
