Hi I am really starting to feel antsy now. I haven't been to the gym since Monday, when I hurt my knee. I miss it.
Yup, you heard me right. I miss going to the gym. I feel like there is something missing and I have so much more time on my hands.
I have been feeling very restless too..its like I have all this energy without any way to expell it.
I wish I could go back but my knee isn't fully recovered and I do not want to make it worse.
I might try a bit of swimming at the weekend tho. That wouldn't be too painful on my knee, sure it wouldn't?
Just got my payslip thru and this was attached to it. Have you ever saw these ideas written down? Its an idea as to how to promote better mental health, ways in which you can feel better.
I think they are easy to do ideas that will definately make you feel good.
What things do you do to make urself feel better?

So I didn't win the Biggest Loser competition. I did lose 14lbs so I did okay.
The money would have been nice tho
Yesterday I went to the gym and I hurt my knee. That knocks going to the gym on the head for a few days til it heals itself. I hope it doesn't take too long.
At the weekend baby girl's friend came to stay and we went to see a movie (Despicable Me 2) and to an all you can eat chinese buffet. OMGoodness but we stuffed ourselves silly.
That food was good!!
What else has been happening? Well I painted my nails a bright pink. they flash every time I type and make me smile. (They do not actually flash, I just mean I get a flash of colour when I notice them moving). The colour totally reminds me of Nicki Minaj or Katy Perry, you know that really bright colour??

More and more people are starting to notice that I have lost weight. People are stopping me in work telling me how well I look.
But why can I not see it?
I know I must have lost weight (I have lost 2 1/2 stone) but I look at myself and I don't see it. I am starting to feel just a little worried about myself. Is it that I am developing body dysmorphic syndrome? Or just that it is happening gradually and like a child growing up, I just don't see it cos it happens every day?
Have any of you ever experienced this?
What did you do?
I have decided to just wait it out. I believe it is happening too slowly for me to see. It is happening tho. I am not that delusional!!
October is when me and R are going on holiday. I am looking forward to it. I want to be able to wear a swimsuit without feeling self conscious. I amnot sure it will happen for October, but I can at least try. I reckon I have something in the region of another 4 dress sizes to go down before I will feel happy. That will not happen for October. So, if I could get down another 2 I would be happy. I am not sure that can happen. I have a friend who it a fitness instructor who has basically told me I would have to starve myself (less than 1,000 kcal per day) to lose that much weight....I dunno. If I work really hard at the gym I might...mightn't I?
It is like the tortoise and the hare. Slow and steady wins the race. If I lose it too fast it will remember where it came from and jump back on, and bring a few friends. If I lose it slowly it will slip off without realising and won't be able to find it's way back onto my hips!!
On a totally random and unconnected note. Don't you love it when your favourite bloggers put up an unexpected or extra post? I do. :-)
Catch you soon. I have work to do, then the gym to go to this evening. That weight aint gonna lose itself!

Two of my favourite bloggers have admitted to listening to the same song. Now I don't know about you but I have hundreds of songs on my phone, and I listen to them every day without really listening to them. Singing along but not really concentrating on either who is singing or what the song is. But AMAZINGLY the song that both of them admitted to listening to was the one I WAS ACTUALLY LISTENING TO at the time I read their blogs...weird coincidence or a sign that I have more in common with these two amazing women?
Nadine and Erin are really funny real women and you should just go read their blogs now :-)
Tell them I sent you. They might have wine ;-)
Oh and BTW the song is The Cup Song by Anna Kendrick

Do you ever do stuff and then wonder why? Ever got halfway through something and stopped to ask yourself why you ever started?
That is me, everytime I decide that cleaning out the cupboard is a good idea, or sorting through my drawers to see which clothes I don't wear (the answer to that would be any clothes still in the drawer, since I am super messy and tend to keep my clothes on top of my drawers!!).
Monday night I was at the gym, working on the legs part of my three day programme. Yesterday I was going out for dinner for a friend's birthday. Hence I couldn't go to the gym to do my boxing class. I did not bring my gym stuff. Halfway through the day I got an attack of the guilts. How could I go to dinner if I hadn't gone to the gym? So I phoned baby girl to bring up my gym clothes, and I left work early to go to the gym. I did the circuits part of my programme. Then I went to dinner and ate without stressing myself.
Now, that's weird behaviour. Admit it. I have. I am going to the gym again tonight.
Three nights in a row...maybe the girl in work who said I was going to the gym too much was right...but I "only" lost 1lb this week. I know that's a good and healthy amount and that I have been loosing consistently, blah, blah, blah, BUT I WANT TO LOSE MORE.
Ok, I said it. I want to get this excess weight away. So I will eat slightly more healthily and I will go to the gym more. And I will do it. (Even if it kills me)

Tired would not come close to describing how I felt this weekend. (Well yesterday evening)
Me and R were helping out at an activity day. He was teaching archery and I was helping out at the climbing wall. Giving the safety talk, putting safety equipment, harnesses and helmets on people and attaching them to the automatic belays and unhitching them, and taking off all safety equipment when they were done. That is a whole lot of talking, smiling, repeating myself, kneeling down, getting up, crouching over, getting up, pulling ropes and being nice.
By the time I got home I was wrecked!! I even had two pieces of bread to try and replenish some energy. (I haven't eaten bread in about two or three weeks now).
But it was fun. And a whole lot of people were encouraged to try somehing they wouldn't have tried before. I like to think I helped there. :-)
What did you do over the weekend?
