Although I’ve had a really good week of sticking to my calorie allowance and exercising, I haven’t lost any weight this week. So, I thought it would be a good time to remind myself of all the other wins that I’ve had over the last 11 weeks and why I am doing this:
- My blood pressure is now consistently under 120/80 after being on the high side for several years.
- I don’t wake myself up with my own snoring anymore!
- I sleep much better.
- I regularly don’t have to go to the loo in the middle of the night (bizarre as I’m drinking more water!)
- I have more energy.
- I am more productive at work.
- I rarely feel stressed.
- I often feel happy.
- I fit into so many clothes that have been in my wardrobe taunting me for many years.
- I’m clearing out some clothes that are too big for me.
- I’ve bought some size 12 clothes recently that fit me nicely.
- Running is easier.
- I don’t hate exercising.
- I’ve got some definition/muscles in my arms.
- I don’t need chub rub shorts under dresses anymore.
- I can have fun on a night out without drinking alcohol.
- I therefore wake up with a clear head more often than not.
- Even though I haven’t lost weight, I’m losing fat (according to my scales which have some magic way of measuring my body composition!)
So I haven’t lost any weight this week – who cares! It is definitely worth sticking to the programme so I can reap all of those benefits!
