So, it’s a Sunday morning and I treated myself this morning
to something a little bit special! I made pancakes, shocking I know. Now, I am
using the word pancake very loosely as it was to be honest probably the
healthiest pancake recipe known to man! I made banana oat pancakes and the
recipe came from a blog called “cookieandkate”… and before you wonder, I have
never met cookie or kate before I just found it though google. I do have to
admit however that it’s a pretty decent whole food kind of blog. Lots of pretty
cool and interesting looking recipes (most of which I can’t really create or
enjoy because they contain… dairy or wheat or flour or anything delicious!) but
you should totally check it out… even if it’s just for a wee nosy.
Now, I have been on my healthy eating plan for 10 weeks and I
have lost a grand total of 40lbs, that’s 2st 12lbs to people who work in the
good old fashioned matrix that is stones. Now, 40lbs in 10 weeks on paper is a
huge amount of weight and people around me seen to agree that I look like I
have lost a load of weight and that I am continuously improving and continuing
to lose but for some reason this week has been a real challenge for me. I would
like to highlight by challenge I don’t mean I didn’t go to the gym and ate
burgers and chips because I can inform you that’s not what I mean. I mean more I
have only lost 2lbs this week (which I know is a lot) and I am feeling a little
down about it. I haven’t really hit a weight loss block like this before and I am
just feeling a little down about it. I am still totally on this, I went to the
gym three times last week and I have eaten really well and even my first treat
in the whole 10 weeks I have been on this I can say was totally a healthy
choice but I just feel a bit blahh ( I know blahh isn’t a word but I can’t
really think of the correct world to say). It’s difficult when you are being
super healthy and not eating anything bad for you, not going out drinking with
the girls because you don’t want to have too many grams of sugar because
cocktails are full of them, when you go to Costa coffee instead of a hot
chocolate and a muffin you are having a bottle of diet coke (which I know isn’t
good for you, but is still totally 100% my weakness) and a small tea with soya milk
when the person you are with is having a
large coffee and a biscuit… these things are all really hard and just become
harder when you are not feeling the benefits, when you stand on those scales
and the number is the exact same as it was a few days ago, when those jeans are
still that little bit too tight and when you look in the mirror and just wish
it would all change overnight but I doesn’t and I know this but sometimes, no
matter who you are, where you are from, what age you may be or how much you
want to lose these situations can be a little bit disheartening.
Having said all this I refuse to let this get the better of
me!! I will continue to close weight and I will slowly begin to like myself a
little more, I would just like this to start happening a little sooner rather
than later, if that would be ok world.
This week while having a little look through pintrest I found
this quote and this is what I know have as the background picture of my phone,
what I look at every day and I feel this sums up what I want to be able to say
to people when I have reached my goal… I want to be able to say I lost 100lbs
and when they ask how I got the motivation and when I decided to make the
changes to my lift I want to say to them “Actually, I just woke up one day and
decided I didn’t want to feel like that anymore, or ever again, so I changed.
Just like that”
Love Yasmin Christina
