Day 61 - And I'm Back!

Ok, I'm now officially back into this. Had a fabulous day yesterday and kept my eating under control as well as doing a good amount of exercise with both a core workout in the morning, and then basketball last night. I'm feeling so much better today, and already the scales are showing it. It's not just dehydration either as I drank so much water yesterday and last night.

Basketball last night ruled. We won and I really enjoyed it. I'm playing so much better than I ever have. Just imagine how much better I will be once I've lost more weight and am even fitter! By the end of the game last night my legs were definitely close to giving out!

This morning I got up and went for a (quite pathetic) run. It was really hard as my legs were so tired and didn't want to go. I had planned to do a fitness fat burner with the gully sprints, but I was just too tired. I still managed to do over 300cals though by the time I added in my planks for this week challenge (total of 40mins!). My stomach was so sore last night - I couldn't work out whether it was a sore tummy or due to all the planks and yesterdays core workout. It's still pretty sore this morning, but I think it's muscular now.

On another topic... over the holidays my sister was telling me about this new diet that some people she knows are doing - 5:2. Basically it's 2 non-consecutive days of fasting a week (~500 cals), and normal eating on the other days. I'm not sure about it, but it sounds similar to our Tighten Up Tuesdays, though far more extreme. I'm thinking I might give it a go, but maybe not to the full extent. Instead try keep to around 900cals on Tues and Thurs, and the others at 1200. We'll see what happens!

Also, I'm going to re-jig my goals today. There's unfortunately no way I will hit the 72kgs by the end of this round, so I'm going to adjust to something achievable and then do another round to get down there. It's so silly as I know I can do it, and I do so well for a few days then royally stuff up! I'm planning on having a really good weekend and next week, and hopefully that should bump me back down under 80, then I can just continue from there. I can do it!
