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.
