00:44am (The Next Day)

As promised, I was uber well-behaved today. Check it out:

· Special K Bliss Bar

· Mango

· 1 rye crisp-bread with the TINIEST piece of cheddar on it

· A small portion of Special K

· Muscles, chips and two slices of bread (which sounds bad, but you really can eat whatever you like in the evening as long as it’s all in moderation)

· About a mouthful of Coca-Cola and a glass of tropical juice

I have just finished my evening exercises and my thighs kill. Probably something to do with all those high-kicks Billy Blanks had me doing earlier on during the Tae Bo workout. It’s weird actually, because it’s not necessarily difficult in terms of being out of breath or speed stamina. It’s more about endurance and sticking with him until the end, which surprisingly makes me sweat almost as much as running for half an hour, or dancing or something equally as strenuous.

Dad came for my walk with me, and of course I downed my ‘mingy tea’. It’s only been five days and already I’m getting that, ‘This had better have bloody worked or else’ feeling. Really tempted to get on the scales, but I keep staying away, because I know if I haven’t lost any weight I’ll be really miffed and go back to pigging out, which would be stupid since even if I haven’t done some epic Fat Blasting I’m eating healthier than I was before. I’m really trying to wait until I’ve done the full two weeks before weighing-in so as to keep morale high.

Anyway, I’m sorry I haven’t blogged much today. I don’t even have an excuse. It’s not like I’ve been busy, or even that I couldn’t be bothered. It’s more that the diet and exercise has become more of a way of life for me now, so I almost forget that I am on it! It’s an interesting journey, and if you just stick with me until the end I’m sure I will see some good results, even if only in fitness and energy levels.

I must dash since it’s my sister’s results day tomorrow and I have been roped into taking her in for them. At 11am. Perhaps this is where the lazy lie-ins stop . . . We’re sure to find out.
