The halfway mark

Ok so I'm a rubbish blogger- but at least I came back and didn't just chuck it in :) Plus I'm not even sure anyone is out there!

Back to the blogging though! The end of this week marks the halfway point of my 12WBT journey! It's gone pretty quickly I'll have to say. I'm still enjoying it- I'm switching up the meals a bit more now though and not doing a big cook-up rather doubling dinners to get lunch the next day. Most of them are pretty quick to prepare so doing it at night is fine. Plus I enjoy cooking at night, it's a bit of a release from the day.

On the fitness side of things I've been fairly consistent in following the gym program to a tee. Bar this week where I only got through four workouts- my lapse was a bit of I can't be bothered. But I kicked myself from Thursday and got my butt back to the gym. I also did an outdoor boot camp last weekend that I really enjoyed but find it hard to justify the extra money when I've got my gym membership. I might attend on weeks where I have a red flag event to give an extra boost.

I've had a few blow out moments too this week- having a chicken parma with chips from the pub on Thursday and then on Friday having a sausage sizzle and beer at an after work do. But I figure I need to be realistic and I'm not going to be a saint forever. I think I've been a little disappointed with my progress- I'd hoped it to be more since I'd been following fairly strictly and I had a few moments of well I'm trying hard and it's not working so why can't I have that Parma and chips. Getting to the nitty gritty I'm actually doing really well- I think comparing myself to other people who may have more weight to lose than me is what's getting me down. I'm going to focus more on me! And on that note- check out my awesome SSS workout. I may have been guilted to go a bit harder after I indulged in cake with my coffee but am proud I did an extra 30 mins on the treadmill after the program. Toot toot :)

Hope everyone is smoothly sailing along xo
