Day 27.....all is still ok

Almost 4 weeks now and I must say I am loving the food. I have found a way to make so many things from the foods available to me and the outcomes are always more tasty and easier to digest.

I have not skipped one single ex. session this week, though slightly concerned that my weight is the same as it was last week. I just can't seem to shift the pounds and am hoping that they start moving soon.....

I am feeling different physically....more toned and less bulky around the middle though am not amazed by the outcomes after a month. 3.5 pounds in weight is a bit of a let down.

Having said that, I will not give up.

I took Dax' advice and watched the IMT video again and corrected some mistakes I was making, primarily shoulders back, tummy in and butt cheeks squeezed. Getting through my routine is not a hassle and I am now doing 12 on the upper body and 16 on the lower body.

Off to make some guacamole and oatcakes....

But before I do, some of the benefits I have noticed during the first 4 weeks of the programme:

• Skin- clear, smooth, no dark circles under eyes


• Energy levels- much higher, no afternoon slump


• Sugar cravings- gone!!!


• Eating- no desire to deviate from the plan at present though a little wheat flexibility would be nice at times


• Portions- reduced


• Snacking- every 2-3 hours, not feeling any need to 'graze'


• Emotional eating- recognised via food diary and therefore minimized. I started to realise that I sometimes snacked when I was facing something challenging and almost needed to distract myself


• Flexibility- unbelievably increased


• Physique- small changes....muffin top reduced


• Motivation- high, though would be enhanced if I was seeing more results

That's all for now xxxx
