Day 38: continued

Why is it that I can do tricep dips elegantly, smoothly and well one day and then the next not at all?

Thank you for the tip on the pistol squats Inés... that worked a treat. Goodness knows which muscle groups I was working the way I was doing them!

The bicycle is beyond me. I get 15 good seconds and then I die. And as for the plank..... 10 seconds on my toes and then I can barely stay with it on my knees for the next 30.

The thing that keeps me going is all your comments as well as the way that I feel and look.

But I am starving each night at dinner and today again did a very bad thing. I had an extra 20-30g of protein when I ate an extra sausage. Maybe the trick is to stand up after I have finished eating my dinner, but I am with our family whom we came over to see so can't very well do that. Sheer bloody minded is what I am going to have to be and just tell myself NO! Watch this space. Other than that I have been religious about what I eat.

Day 38: Everything is slow

Feeling similar to others at the moment. Tired, hungry etc.

But, for the first time in many, many days now don't feel as listless. Waking up in the morning though my whole body hurts. My husband's helpful comment was "I thought that by now your body would have become used to all the exercises". I then had to explain that the lovely Patrick ramps up the exercises each week and that it is just getting harder and harder.

Pistol squats are a nightmare. Tricep dips are better. Push ups better.

Skipping is crap, crap, crap.

Good news is that it is finally Day 38... no longer need to be confused. Think I may need to write days in diary to alleviate confusion.
