Well tonight I am seeing a Hypnotherapist for weight loss. I wonder if it will work. It was originally recomended to me by the manager at the gym. Then I made the mistake of telling my trainer and she has obviously told the Manager lady and all the staff at the gym I am going. I am now the Hypnosis guinea pig at the gym I fear. All the staff there keep asking me about it and when I'm going etc. A tad embarrassing but who cares if it works.
Husband has threatened to have words with the hypnotherapist to get me to do all sorts of things from getting a job to excessive sexual favours. I am more worried that when somewone claps i will start clucking like a chicken or barking like a dog. The therapist assures me they wont hypnotise me to want more hypnosis sessions. They must get asked that question alot!
Oh well fingers crossed.
No weight loss to report to date even though I'm slogging it out at the gym 3-4 times a week. I am meant to be doing 6 days a week. oops. I can hardly walk today as my thigh muscles have frozen into sitting down position. My eating habits are as bad as normal. I'm hoping that the hypnotheriapist can help me find the motivation to give up sweets and stick to a actual diet. That should help with the weight loss. Its amazing the times I've actually lost weight in the past have been when my head is in gear so thats what I'm hoping the therapist can help me with.
eek wish me luck.

What happens at 100%?
If your working out on say the cross trainer and your heart rate at 90% what happens when you get to 100%? Do you keel over? Why would they let you get to 100% it seems silly to me and dangerous. Call me nuts but this is the sort of thing that goes through my mind while exercising. Mainly I am thinking turn the f...ing music down and turn the tv's up. What is the point of having the tv on in front of the exercise machines if you can't bloody hear it. I'm also thinking why is the clock 10 minutes fast on one clock and 5 minutes fast on another in eyesight of each other. It gets on my wick as it seems I'm always late when I'm not. I think I'm getting old and grumpy. sigh!!!
Happy to report that my cardio fitness is getting better. 2 weeks ago I could only do 5 mins on the xtrainer before my feet went numb and I had to stop. Last week 10 minutes. Anyway today I did 15 minutes. Working my way up to 20 minutes then I will increase my speed. yah me... small goal but getting there. I can go forever on bikes and treadmills but the xtrainer puts my feet to sleep. Despite having my technique checked by my trainer. Bizzare really... so in summary either my feet have got used to being numb or I'm getting fitter. Most days I'm doing 45-60 mins split between the treadmill, bike, then the xtrainer for however long I can go. And I'm trying to go for a walk as well on days I can't be arsed going to the gym. Then my two training sessions with Sorina where this week she has uped the anti and working me much harder. My arms are sore a bit.
Despite all this i am yet to lose any weight still. However diet has been a little off. Oh well. It will happen. It can't not given the work I'm doing. I hope this isn't a sign my hormone imbalance is causing my weight. I hope its a sign that I am eating too much sugar. I suspect so.
Anywhoo off to dinner!

Skinny fat jeans
Well today I am wearing jeans I bought last November when we arrived in NZ. I haven't worn them since as they were a bit tight and cut into my stomach when I wore them. Today they fit like a glove. In fact they are a bit big. So I am wearing my skinny jeans I guess. Skinny fat jeans I'm calling them. Yah me.
Work outs with my personal trainer Sorina are going well twice a week. Shes very nice but I fear is being very easy with me. I almost fell over last week and crushed her to death while doing a stair step up exercise. She is such a little thing. First week I couldn't lift my arms for a few days but now I'm hardly noticing the work outs. My leg strength is quite good. I think from carrying around this giant bottom for so long has kept my muscles going.
I'm meant to be doing 45-60mins cardio every day above and beyond the 2 30 min sessions a week I do with the train. I am failing at that to be honest but I have been doing a bit above and beyond but not enough. I haven't had much time is my excuse. Insert sound of me blowing a rasberry at myself.
I also can not be arsed writing down what I eat and counting calories and protein, carbs and fat. Who has the time for that! Honestly! I'm soooo over counting calories. I am trying to eat healthier meals though. But still eating sugary treats. Noel and I have been contemplating hypnosis. Will keep you posted what we decide.
Hurray though... I have noticed my fitness has increased. My energy and enthusiasm has increased. My hormone imbalance which i can feel quite badly at pmt time seems to have dropped a bit. I am not feeling so up and down hormonally which is good as its very tiring emotionally. I am fitting into my skinny fat jeans. So with these benefits I'm very happy and its giving me incentive to keep going.
Negative is my weight hasn't dropped in fact I'm a few hundred grams above what I was when I started exercising 2 weeks ago. Weird huh. I don't think I could have put on muscle after 2 weeks working out. My trainer laughed at me when I suggested that it was increased muscle mass. Hmmm.... probably more likely biscuits and cake that may have sneaked into my diet.
Hmmmm... well this next week I'm going to try and eat better and do the extra exercise I'm meant to be doing and see what happens. But I think I feel much better than normal. Who would have thought a little exercise would feel so good.
