Saturday 2nd September
I’m back into the habit of using the SlenderTone again now because I can do this working whilst I’m ironing or sat on the computer, both of which I spend a lot of time doing. In fact this morning I did it whist cooking hubby and daughter their brunch! Positioning the pads is definitely easier now I am smaller although I find it easy to work my waist and harder to get the centre pad right so it works my tummy which is the bit I really need to work. I also didn’t go into the third intensity level as this would have been too much for me this morning. I will keep making sure that I have it on the highest comfortable setting for me so that I am getting the most from each session. I’m going to aim for 2 sessions of 40 minutes a day in the hope of getting 1 session of 40 minutes a day. The trouble is that I have to take my trousers off when wearing the ST which means doing it indoors and having trousers at the ready in case someone comes to the door!
Somebody made an interesting post on the weight loss forum that got me thinking. I have been having more problems now that I am close to being a normal BMI than I have had at any other time during the diet. I have decided to get weighed this Monday and then not be weighed for a 3 weeks after that. This way I will be able to concentrate on what my body looks like and how it measures up. This will means that I will be stopping when I have reached the right place based on reality rather than wanting to meet an artificial target which is very inflexible. How I look and what fat I have left on my body are the factors that are keeping me motivated to continue whilst the weight I am and have lost are just damaging distractions. If I feel my body is ready then I will continue to stay on the packs for another 2 weeks after that to allow for the glycogen top up that will increase my weight by between 4 and 8lbs and keep me at my goal. This way when I go into management then I can concentrate on learning how to eat to maintain my weight which is what management is all about.
I made a chocolate porridge with the psyllium husks this morning and it tasted just like chocolate Ready Break! Trouble was that I had to stuff it down because I was full up after ½ of it. So tomorrow I will split my pack and do it with ½. I will stick to using the PH in the morning so I get a proper breakfast to set me up for the day and will try to keep the other half back for the evening which I find most difficult. The good thing about the porridge is that is isn’t cooked as it is just made using boiling water.
Activity: 5,112 steps. Very poor but it always is at the weekend.
Water: 6l’s and consistent
Toning: 2 x 40 minutes on the ST
Weight: 12st or 168lbs
5 days of development completed, 44 to go.
