Weight Watchers WI

Well ok so for my first WI on this blog this is not the best, this week I put on 3lbs (current weight 9st 4lbs)!! I deserved it though was my boyfriends birthday last weekend and I ate and drank loads so am not feeling too bad about it. Will get myself back on the straight and narrow this week and hopefully week 2 of blog WI will be much better. As long as I dont reach my WW restart trigger weight of 9st 7lbs I will be happy with whatever each WI brings, I am on maintain after all.

Today I went to the gym and did my program again, I have to say it is so long that i am getting bored with it already and it is only the second time i have done it. There are a couple of exercises in it which i just can't be doing with (Weighted lunges and kettleball squats), they take too long as there are loads of reps and although I know that no one is interested in what i am up to I feel a bit foolish in doing them. I think I will skip them altogether next time as it started to stress me out today.

On the way back from the gym i bought a body fat analyser that was reduced in lloyds as my scales dont monitor it. I have found that the more I exercise I do the more the scales don't motivate me as they either stay the same or go up so am going to keep an eye on my body fat and my measurements to keep my motivation high.

OH MY GOODNESS.................

My new gym program is a nightmare, i was there for what seemed like days (was in fact only 50 minutes). I am sort of pleased because after my last program i never really felt like i had been to the gym it was just not challenging - however this one is definately challenging so much so I couldnt complete it and this morning I ache in places that I didnt know had muscles to ache!!. I will persevere and look forward to the day I can complete the whole program it will be fantastic! Mind you by then i will probably be due a review and it will be made even harder - Doh!!

To make matters worse at the gym last night a work colleague who I had never seen at the gym before came and said Hi just as i was about to collapse on a rowing machine. She looked like the most glamourous gym goer i had ever seen, all colour coordinated with a perfect ponytail and made the cross trainer look like a stroll in the park. I on the other hand looked very unccordinated and gangly on the machines, forgot my racer back bra so had my own pet hate of showing bra straps, had odd socks on (forgot my new program included leg raises!!!) and was doing a very convincing impression of a ribena berry!! Note to self: go to gym straight from work 6.30 is not a good time.
