Weekly Report - just over 2lbs down

Or in local terms, a nice round kilogram ;)

I know, I know, I should be thrilled about it. Still losing weight, after three months in this, and at a steady pace still. Not sure why, but I’m a bit restless about it, impatient if you like, wanting to be another 30lbs down and NOW lol

I need to remind myself it took over a decade to gain all that weight, if it only takes a year to lose it, that’s good. I know it’s unhealthy to lose weight too fast, so actually, my pace is probably near perfect, if not even a bit too fast.

I do enjoy being in such a better shape though. I find myself doing things I couldn’t do before. They just happen too. It’s little things, really, nothing to brag about probably. Just finding myself squatting comfortably to talk to a child at eye level. Not even an issue, neither with balance nor with thigh muscles. Or picking up the groceries and lifting double the weight I used to, without even noticing. Oh, and yesterday, I went out cycling! Something I haven’t done in years! My last attempt was a few months ago and I failed miserably back then. Just wasn’t feeling secure enough about my balance. I may be imagining things, but I feel like running may be improving my balance somehow. Plus, less weight, is probably easier all around, for cycling too.

It was a nice workout too. My DH was running, with my cycling alongside him. We did that for about half an hour, then I decided my crotch had enough for one day lol I really wanted to run too, so we switched. Well, I was running, and he was mostly walking alongside me with the bicycle ;) He is much faster than me and is just naturally much more fit. We tried running together this week as well. It was good, actually, but it made me run faster than I probably should have, and it made him run in circles around me every now and again…

We’re also getting new shoes! Bought ourselves a new pair each on ebay. I got me Nike Pegasus 2007 and he got him Asics Nimbus. Looking forward to getting them and trying them on! First time for us to try and buy online, without trying the shoes on, so hoping for the best here. They won’t be here for another month though, as we’re having them sent over to a friend for lower shipping costs and he’ll bring them over when he gets here next month. I’ll report once I have them!

That’s it for this week. Not a bad week, I guess, sticking to my diet like super glue and working out still. Just need to snap out of this impatient mood and think about it more in terms of a forever change. Will try to, promise!
