Week 39 / Day 270

Week 39 / Day 270

This week has been the closest I have been to throwing in the towel and giving up. I have faced many issues with my self esteem, finding a friend of mine joke about my image, refering it to a Jim Henson puppet, and realising that I have not recieved any positive comments from him on my efforts on loosing weight or the change in my image in a positive way. This unfortunately got to me this week and had the mindset of giving up and thinking 'whats the point of trying?', when I get comments like this.

Nearly everyday, I was overeating, not calorie counting as I usually do,  binged on junk food, and had no motivation to do any exercise. I had also wanted to give up my other personal projects such as my 365 gratitude blogs and 100DoH challenge of walking 500km in 100 days.

During the week, I let out a cry for help to some Facebook friends and they sent me posts and comments with encouragement and pick me up messages, some jumping onto private messages chatting with me about the situation. This did indeed get me back on my feet.
It was only last night, I stumbled across some motivational and positive memes a friend of mine posted on Facebook which was a slap in the face. I was able to wake up this morning with a mission to get myself back together again and to find MY healthy balance, physically, mentally and emotionally.

What have I learnt from this? Many things! There are many who will want to bring you down, either due to jealousy or by feeling threatened by your achievements and cheaply attack your weak points to make themselves feel better.  But there are many, many, many more people out there who will encourage you, inspire you, guide you and even walk along side you, helping you every step of the way. These are the people that matter and should shine, stand out, and feed you positivity.

For those who read this, I really do hope this is helping you and making you achieve that life you once dreamt of having become a reality. For those who read this and still judge and are prejudice, may karma come back to you and may your life be filled with other self centered people so that when you require help, you will realise the struggle that many others face which required your help.

My results are as follows:

Week 38 / Day 263

Week 38 / Day 263
This week, I have worked hard to get back into my old routine of exercise. I have found that I am exact two weeks behind is being on par with my 100DoH Walking challenge. I have accepted the challenge and I will work hard at not failing it. I feel however, I must begin giving attention to doing as much strength exercises as I do with my cardio. I am losing the weight but I feel my body figure isn't being defined, not showing much muscle at all, which is what I would like. I shall start working on that, as I usually promise, next week...OR NOW!!

I have also come to the realisation that I have been doing these workouts not for me but for others. In a way this is good as it can inspire and motivate others, but sometimes you must realise you are doing it for yourself, for you to live life in a happier, healthier way, physically and mentally. You cannot make someone physically and mentally strong and happy, that comes within the other person, you, not me, all I can do is inspire and inform you with tips and strategies.

Here are my results for the week:
January 1st                      Last Week              This Week
Weight: 71.4kg                -                             Weight: 68.3kg
Waist: 86cm                    -                              Waist: 82cm
Hips: 83cm                      -                              Hips: 83cm
Neck: 38cm                     -                              Neck: 39cm

Week 37 / Day 256

Week 37 / Day 256
I have been getting myself back into the routine of exercise this week, walking regularly as I have to keep up with my commitment which I made with my 100DoH challenge of walking 500km in 100 days. I have found that I have been overdoing in with guilt on my conscious of not exercising of the last few weeks, and have had to slow down several time during my workouts.

Yet again I have been slack and did not take my weekly picture or measurements. But I had participated in a fun run today for Alzheimer's Australia. The first time I have ever done a fun run. I managed to jog and walk 7.5km in 48 minutes which I am proud of achieving. I will most likely participate in another fun run in the future, so watch out.

Yet again, I will get my act together and put up photos and measurements next week.....I hope

Week 36 / Day 249

Week 36 / Day 249

Well I am back. I have found ti hard to get back into my regular routine of exercise and eating properly since coming back from holidays.

But more so, I feel I have lost a bit of motivation doing these blogs and the way I think now is a bit slacker. I feel I have lost track of time and struggling with my time management.

This is a new struggle I will be kicking to the curb and I do feel with the help of exercise and getting back into my regular routine, I will be able to get myself back on track, fitness wise and mentally.

My results are as shown, however I had not recorded my measurements, so they will be in next weeks blog. My blogs may be back to normal as well and not all over the place, I apologise for this.

Week 35 / Day 242

Week 35 / Day 242

I am still on holidays so I will not be publishing results and my weekly picture.

I have found it a bit hard this week no exercising. I have been lounging around most of the time and finding the only 'exercise I have been getting is walking around during sight seeing.

I did however break back into the habit of exercising, woke up early and went for a jog to the town centre and back to the holiday house.

I will be hopefully back to normal next week. :)

Week 34 / Day 235

Week 34 / Day 235

This week will be a bit different as I am on holidays at the moment, so there will be no photo or weekly results.

This will be good for me as I have been focussing too much on exercising and not relaxing the body which is well needed.

Next week will be the same.

This will be a bit hard for me as I am not used to relaxing as much now a days.

Catch ya on the flip side
