Have come to the conclusion that I will need some more time to recover from this illness. Meanwhile I have lost momentum for PCP and it will take me a while to ramp up again. My schedule between now and Christmas is just nuts and the workouts are getting tougher and ramping up more.
It will be silly for me to try to play catch up. So I have made a decision to draw a line in the sand right here.
I weighed in at 67.8kg today which is 16 kg lighter than when I started in June and 5 kg lighter than when I finished PCP. This was my goal for this second round so I am finishing at a good point. I am much fitter, happier and in control of my eating now. I also have the skills and information to maintain this.
Sure I could still stand to lose a few more kgs but my plan is to maintain where I am now and then in the new year look at doing something like the six week chisel to put myself in peak condition.
When I am back on my feet, I plan on skipping daily before breakfast and watching my diet. The food side has really been ingrained now and I know what I can eat to be happy and healthy. Then I can workout a few times a week using the maintenance sheets which do appeal to me.
It is much harder to do the full PCP schedule on your own without the daily blogs of others in your group. It isn't the same with your nose pressed up on the glass of another group that doesn't include you.
So this is me signing off.
Oh, I wasn't expecting that! Well you've done remarkably well doing basically 5 months non stop. I think you can give yourself a mighty large pat on the back, just don't make the mistakes Mandy and I did. We're very annoyed with ourselves ans both slide at the same rate. You know I said to Mandy over the weekend, half the problem is because I lost so much in 3 months and I know I can do it again if I want, it's made me slightly delusional as to whats happening right now. And remember that suit I took to the tailors to have taken in? I need them to put the material back on. fuck fuck fuck, that's a wake up call and I refuse to let it go to waist. (see what I did there?)
ReplyDeleteI finally bite the bullet today and went to the quaks about my foot, Plantar Fasciitis as I self diagnosed. Normal healing time is apparently 6-12 months but he said I should see some improvement in the next month or so as I'm already 2 months in. Oh that's good then! Steroids injected into the area is an option but I don't really want to go down that route as apparently they can only do it once or twice in your life so feels like something I don't really want in my body unless it's a real last resort.
So yet another push, I'm laying off the grog, it's the route to all evil and bad decisions, I've been hitting it very hard recently, there's just been so many opportunities for lunches and dinners, it has to stop, it's not an option.
Best of luck to you and hope you're back to full health soon, not sure if I'll continue blogging myself, maybe if i have something positive to write about. Success breeds success and all that!
