I *heart* my resistance bands.
I bought the pink ones naturally - I have no idea about the amount of resistance or if this is suitable for me but they were pink!! I tell a bit of a lie, these were about the middle of the range of resistance available.
I have just completed my workout floating on air. I jumped on the scales this morning and I have lost.. wait for it... 2.5 kg!! I nearly fell off the scales actually.
I started at (ahem) 83.5kg and I am now 81kg. Given that I am only 157 cm tall this is alot of weight to be carrying. I hope to lose around 20 kg but I will be happy with 10kg as a start point. To be honest my start weight was a surprise to me as I was closer to 80 kg shortly after my baby was born so it means I had PUT ON WEIGHT since. I want to blame the overeating from being hungry from breastfeeding but really I need to take responsibility for my food choices and my portion sizes. Plus I eat too fast but I am trying to chew more.
But excuses excuses back to the matter at hand.. I have lost 2.5 kg!! YAY me

All the exercises good today - but OMG triceps - hello my neglected old friends. You will be screaming at me tomorrow I am sure. But I have to work on those bingo wings so I was really careful with my form for these.
I have a sore bone in my foot - one of the little ones on top that I don't know the name for - carpal.. metacarpal or something. But it is not stopping me from anything but I might have to think about skipping in sports shoes rather than just socks which means skipping out in the open. Perhaps if this rain ever stops I might consider it.

Food has been good. I made a big batch of my own ratatouille that was full of tomatoes, eggplant, zucchini, capsicum and onion with a big clove of garlic and some chilli in there. So that has served as the side for my steamed fish last night and will be on my baguette this morning for bruschetta.
I am playing around with some ideas for a vegetable lasagna using cottage cheese only but I will try it out first to see if it is PCP compliant and I will post it if it works. My goal is to make it and have it serve for a few meals as the veg + carb components. Then just need to steam some fish or chicken and boom there is dinner. Plus it is something that Hubbilicious is likely to want to eat. He finds my steamed fish a bit bland but then he is used to rich food working in hospitality.
OK - enough blathering from me. The baby is whinging.
p.s. did I mention I have lost 2.5 kg?

CONGRATUALTIONS ON THE 2.5kg. Fantastic.
ReplyDeleteThat is a major achievement!
And it sounds like you are feeling good too, apart from the aches and pains. That is really such a great achievement. Just think of all your muscles rebuilding themselves
Do you shop at Tokyu Hands Shibuya? The were out of pink resistance bands when I went, and only had purple or red (red being the hardest at number 5, purple no. 2 and pink no. 3). Not sure if the purple ones give enough resistance or not. Had the guy in the store pulling bands with me and 20 minutes later after much discussion as to the pros and cons he determined that I was most likely to get the results with purple that I wanted but that I might kill myself with red.
I went to Tokyu Hands at Shinjuku.
ReplyDeleteDid you try Amazon Japan?
Hey Tracey I got a sore knee and slightly achey Achilles too, I'm near the same height & weight as you. I'm sure once the kg's come off it will all get easier (fingers crossed)!
