You have around 5 weeks until the clocks go forward and the already lighter nights become even longer and the weather becomes warmer hopefully. You then have around 11 weeks until its may, when it definitely should be warmer and light until at least 8pm.
This all means that its the best time of year to be in shape. You cannot hide in big jumpers at this time of year. You cant wear big coats and the colour black can make anyone look slimmer, but it can’t make miracles!!!!
Being in shape by may will be a great challenge for you, and having the confidence to wear anything you want will and should be a huge incentive for you. If you’re in shape, then anything will look good on you, you don’t have to be so fussy because you’re in shape, your body fat is low and all of that strength work, resistance work has paid off throughout the winter!!!
May will also be a good time for you to get compliments too. Your hard work in the rain right now may seem unrewarded right now, but another 11 weeks of effort will bring a raft of compliments for sure, especially from those people who don’t see you so often. Theres nothing better than that feeling of being told you’re in shape, you’re looking so much younger because you’ve lost the weight, you’re looking in so much better shape because you’ve been workout out with weights etc etc!!!!!
Every day now you should be telling yourself that you’re getting better and better, your food is getting even better in terms of quality and you are setting new records in your training. Theres no alcohol in the week any more and health may have gone from bottom to top in your life!!!
Once your priorities involve health, being fit and energetic, and looking and feeling your best, then good things should be about to happen in your life!!!!
Hi Ke, just checking in with you. Have not been very successful lately, went away last week and put 5lbs on, this week not much better. It seems that I can only last 2 weeks on a diet and exercise plan before coming off it again. Really fed up with myself, know my BP is up and my Cholesterol, but it doesn’t seem to deter me. Doc is talking about putting me on meds to reduce both, dont want to go down that road at all, know it is up to me, only I can do it. If you could do it for me, I would have no worries. Have told myself that MONDAY 28 FEB is yet another start, maybe its third time lucky. Enjoy weekend and rugby.
good to hear you jean and you are one of the most talented athletes ive ever met, i think you suffer from a confidence problem in that you do incredibly well, and something happens and it can go pear shaped. I promise to help you all the way i can assure u!
thanx Keri for your kind comments, are you sure you are talking about me!!!!!!!!!! I just dont know where to start anymore, it used to be sooo easy, I just cant find the motivation, maybe I need to get a social life, that way I would have to try stuff on, besides joggers and T shirt, as it is I dont go into my wardrobe, no point. Andrew and Ken went out over the weekend to see the rugby, needless to say I stayed in. Jen my friend has persuaded me to join SLIMMING WORLD on Thursday, Rob’s missus (opposite) is also going. Walked 1hr 15mins this morning, chest tight so didnt jog, still wheezing now. Eating ok except for 5 digestive biscuits and 2 bowls of ice cream. Prob why I am wheezing, I have put away so much crap lately. I am looking at your workouts above, just reading it was exhausting, dont htik I will be able to do any of that.
