It was with trepidation that I stepped onto the scales this morning. It's been two weeks since I last weighed and I've been working out like crazy, there's been a distinct lack of evening wine and I'm trying to make sure that 99% of what goes in my gob is good and not evil. As you know, my goal is to put on good strong muscle without plonking on a big dollop of fat. I'm trying to eat the correct amount of calories in order to do this while offsetting the exercise, and that can equal up to 2,500 calories a day - that's a bloody lot of oats and rice!!! Meanwhile I've had two people in the past week comment on the fact that I look like I've lost weight - how disheartening!!! (hehe - not many women get to feel disheartened at appearing slimmer!!)
But alas - my diet has prevailed and I have gone from 61.9kg to 61.8kg in two weeks - WOOT WOOT!!!! I'm stoked!!! I felt like doing a bit of air thumping around the bathroom but then realised that I haven't quite mastered the whole "put on weight" thing yet so I'll save my self-preening until then.
I think what those around me are seeing is a change of shape and I can certainly notice it myself. I can feel my top half getting more solid while my waist is feeling smaller and I'm having to re-knot all of my exercise pants!!
Not much else to blab on about today. Am working hard and lifting heavy. I've been on creatine for about a week now and they say it takes about that amount of time to saturate your body to the point that it starts 'working'. I've always been dubious about vitamins and supplements because I can't quite measure them like I can other things, however I'm doing what I'm told and I'll report back when/if I feel any changes.
If not I'll be like the rest of Australasia and produce some very expense waste products!
