One of my clients kicking ass because you know, I’m a personal trainer and should maybe post something other than myself.

Weigh in Saturday (I guess)
Although I weigh myself sporadically throughout the week, I think it’s important to have a day where you are accountable. I started my journey 2 weeks ago today and so I think that Saturdays should be like an official weigh-in day.
I will be taking “before” pics as well today in some items of clothing that don’t fit very well at the minute. My hope is that as the weeks progress, I will see a change in my body and hopefully in the fit of these clothes.
But enough rambling, here are the stats:
Starting weight: 113.9kg / 251.1lbs
Last Saturday : 110.4kg / 243.3lbs
This Saturday : 108.6kg / 239.4lbs
Lost this week : 1.8kg / 3.9lbs
Total lost : 5.3kg / 11.6lbs

My first time wearing shorts in literal years. Still scared to wear them out of the house though.
(The book is The Underground Railroad by Colson Whitehead btw)

Another productive day (repeat: not all my days will be productive and that’s okay) where I finished a thesis chapter draft and recorded a presentation for an e-conference. It was also HOT (25C?) and I worked in the hammock outside and got a little sunburn 🥵
Eating wise everything healthy went out the window when the boy came home in the afternoon with a dozen donuts 😂 apparently the drive through opened back up!! Lol all good though.
After work we had a couple FRIENDS over (who live together so we can socialize according to Scotland’s phase 1 guidelines). We drank gin outdoors and the boy cooked food and it was amazing to see other faces and catch up. I’m less socially awkward than I thought I would be, though definitely not back to normal. Haha.
That last pic occurred while washing dishes and I just thought the soap bubbles were so beautiful 😍
Today I’ve woken with a headache probably from my shoulder and not the whopping two g&t’s I had last night. So it’s coffee and ibuprofen and donut time, then I’ll clean the house and work. Hip and shoulder are still hurting so I’ll do physio and maybeee go on a short cycle if feeling up to it. xx
10Day 37 (cheat day)
Got up at 8 (7hrs 30mins sleep)
Breakfast - toast and chocolate spread
Finished laying the new underlay for the front garden and levelled out the stones
Lunch - cheese and tomato sandwich. 3 caramel cups
Took Harley a walk (1hrs 30mins)
Chilled in the back garden and drank a few beers
Dinner was a takeaway - dinner meat, chicken pakora and chips n cheese
Took Harley a walk (55mins)
Dessert - chocolate brownies with custard
So I checked my weight in the morning, before bed and when I got back up the day after cheat day
Started cheat day 12st 5lbs. By the end of the day I put on 7lbs then over night it looks as if I’ve put on another wee pound lol. So in total I put on 8lbs in one day.
I felt so bloated last night. I really need to enjoy cheat day rather than go crazy
1Began the day with a 35 minute yoga session. I can feel it in my hips and entire body actually. Now for some breakfast and a simple laid back day.

BEFORE YOU JUDGE ME FOR THE SODA:
I drank two diet cokes, a fiber seltzer water and had a diet energy drink. All 0 calories except the seltzer water which was 10 calories.
Also I didn’t input my ~20k steps into the calorie counter, so I’m way under in my calories. The 100 grams of protein is definitely helping me haha.
0Amazing shoulders and tricep workout today. I really need to start prepping lunches because workouts on an empty stomach is a no lol. But discipline is the best pre workout meal lol….but I still would like food.
2I don’t hate myself so much today, and that’s the most tangible proof I have that I’m on my way.
Baby steps.

Better today, did my walk but had to cut it short because I had to make a stop at the grocery store before they closed. Came home and did my 100 squats and a bunch of other mixed stuff (bicep curls, crunches, rows). Eating went well today, and I met my water goal. I’m hoping for a similar day tomorrow.
The days are getting hotter. I loathe summer. But I’m thankful I get to go outside and I’m more than happy to keep everyone at a distance. So long as I wear my glasses and stay hydrated, I can keep headaches at bay.
