Day 73....& counting down!

Oops..been really quiet with the blogging lately..........here's the status update>>

progress:

weight loss is stagnant. im drifting around the -5 ~ -6Kg range depending on the day, nothing more and nothing less. im pretty happy with the achievement so far, and im not actively dissatistisfied with any part of my body currently  (which is like a new era)  but numerically speaking i would like to squeeze out another kilo or so before we finish up,,, and further ab definition couldnt hurt either,

so continue I shall. (I've come to terms of the fact that the minus 10Kg fantasy will not quite happen.  ....its not the end of the world...)

work outs:

the number of reps is unreal.  its been a constant cycle of death-resurrection this week. im quite liking the extended planking though -no movement involved, so good time to read magazines!

food: -absolutly loving being able to eat food for dinner which actually resembles a proper meal as of this week.

-im appreciating 'naughty' food more.  had a slight deviation on one day and had small slice of quiche. wow.....butter has never tasted more heavenly!

on the subject of heaven,

-about my indulgence (that quiche was too small to count!)

while marcus was in Japan (btw.... oh he looks good)  we went for an onsen break :-D my belated and much anticipated indulgence was this:

after apples & egg white dinners this felt exceedingly extravagant to say the least.  but told my self i deserved it, and also justified it thinking 'this technically isnt an 'unhealthy meal'....it's just a healthy meal which is really big...! '

also had sake.   loved it all! 
& i am happy and partially disappointed to say that none of this made me sick the next day like it was supposed to....

Other:
-maybe its the enhanced core strength......but i find my self not losing balance on high heels on crowded trains these days.

-My improved biceps seem to enable me to carry around increasing & vast amounts of luggage and groceries each day.  (the other day I weighed my luggage and it was 5.5Kgs.

 I'm thinking 'wow......i carried around this for the whole day- which is the same amount of weight I lost off my body, on my arms!')

-I was previously worried about my obsessive tendancies on this project  (ie/'oh my god i missed a workout yesterday. I am such a failure' or 'if i go near 3m radius of cake, it will reverse all the progress to date and god will send me to hell') but i am happy to say that phase has passed and i am more chilled about the whole initiative.

i think i am more confident about self management knowing a)that I know what I want/need and how much of it  b)regardless of what happens after a mess up.. it is physically possible to shed 5-6kgs in 2 months.

will try not to go the other way and be over chilled/lenient with my self....but mentally speaking its a nice place to be.

-I notice I attract more weirdos (men) on the streets these days..

-I'm dying to go shopping!!!
