Day 59 - Back fat? Knee fat? Gunt? Who me?

Yes you Tracey. Guilty on all charges.

Patrick's video this week was quite sobering on how much further I need to go. To be honest, he has scared the stuffings out of me as I now have nightmares of just piling on more back fat and knee fat and becoming a freak show. Plus of course my nemesis - the gunt - is refusing to budge and I know that if I stop now it will just get bigger and bigger.

So it seems I am in for a long haul to really get my body fat percentages right down in order to clear out these sneaky fat stores that have plagued me for too long.

What is a good body fat percentage? I don't think I have ever measured mine. I don't have one of the fancy pants scales as there are too many models to choose from in the shops. Oh the indecision!!

Of course lipo is always an option but Hubbilicious would pitch a fit. Bless his heart he swears he would really love me whatever size I was (within reason I suspect but I am not going to test out that one) and he is really super supportive of my PCP efforts.

So onward and downward I plough. Getting fast results is really motivating, so for the moment, I am still really focused - albeit with a few sugar digressions.

Today I am totally exhausted though. Max must be going through a developmental change as he was waking up every 30-45 minutes last night. Then at 5:30 this morning he decided that it was play time and Mummy needed to join him. He didn't seem to care that I only went to bed at 1am and had several wake-ups during that time. So I resigned myself to start my day early. After a while, I thought that as I was awake I might as well get all my skips and workout done. Max had enjoyed lots of quality Mummy time by then and he was happy to watch Baby TV and bounce in his bouncy chair.

So skips were (badly) done by 7am and then Max decided he needed a nap. A NAP!!! So I got him down again around 7:20 and then tackled my workout. If I hadn't already decided to do my workout I may have joined him in the nap but I am glad I pushed on.

Skips were pretty bad but I got through all the sets. I managed 1567 skips on the counter so perhaps it wasn't as bad as I thought. 

Pullups fairly woeful but I did them all no matter how silly they looked. Triceps were a killer as usual but I am forcing myself to appreciate the burn as a good thing in good NLP style. V-sits (4 x 12) substituted for Kung Fu's.

However, in hindsight, I should have eaten breakfast as by the time I was done at 8am I was positively starving and feeling quite sick from low blood sugar. As it was, I had my breakfast at my normal time of 8:30 and I felt better after that. (Max had woken up again around 8:10)

So here I am at the office now with my arse dragging despite mainlining coffee. Food for everybody for the next few days is sorted so no cooking needed for tonight. I plan to get home after work/daycare, feed Max and myself, ditto bathe and then perhaps go to bed at the same time. I will do 8MA if I feel up to it.
