Indecision = Tension

PN lean eating course has started this week and am pleased to say with all the great eating i have done this week, my weight has increased by 1lb (bummer, those scales are supposed to be going down!!)

Anyway, it is all about deciding where you are, what you know, what you are doing and what you need to change.

The lessons so far have been okay, no big homework. Today's bonus lesson made me think!

We were asked: have you made the decision that you will do what it takes to re-shape your body and reach your goals? because indecision = tension (and we all know that tension causes stress hormone increase which suppresses fat loss!!) Whenever internal debate takes place, tension increases. How many times have we all fought with ourselves about whether to go and train or not?

Today i made that decision. The housework waited an extra hour as i went to the gym! (in fact alot of it is still waiting!!)There will be no more fighting with myself, i must train, end of story. Another realisation for me today was although i eat well, i have been eating the same as i did when i was training for comps, the only problem is, i am not training, so all that extra food and energy is just being stored, any wonder i am reshaping my body in the wrong direction!

My workout today was great, i have missed that feeling! I did about 40mins weights (chest/back) and then followed it with a session on the elliptical walker. it felt good! Watch out gym, i am back!!.

I have a wedding to go to next weekend, and have just bought a dress, the experience wasn't as fun as clothes shopping has been previously, too many wobbly bits and carb bloating, i remember a time in the not too distant past when i would actually enjoy shopping and could pick up just about anything and feel happy with it. Well, friends, that time is just around the corner again, been there, done that and i want to go back! Interestingly, we have to post on the lean forum how we see our bodies now and how we want to see them at the end of the course. I am aiming for the same look i had post comp, lean and toned, about 12%BF and maintaining that year round with healthy principles.

anyway, alot of hard work ahead of me, but i am up for this challenge!
That being said, washing needs to be done and tea needs to be cooked!!
