I'm the same weight I was a month ago. It's disappointing, but relieving that I'm not gaining weight with the diet I've been consuming. I can thank yoga for saving my bacon on that count. I also have increased core strength, I'm feeling more flexible and my circulation has been better for it.
I've finally become comfortable with a 40 minute yoga routine. It took longer than I'd anticipated and I plan to continue with 40 minutes for another week or so before moving up to 60 minutes. I really was over ambitious with moving up after just a week of 40 minute sessions. I felt so sick after trying a 60 minute session - this time I want to be ready for the challenge.
I'm yet to add walking to my exercise regime. I have either been sabotaged with other events to occupy my afternoons, or I just haven't prioritised this well - I'm going to say it is a bit of both. Today is no better - I have grocery shopping to attend to and this takes the entire afternoon before getting home in time to meet the kids off the school bus. Walking will come in time...
Although walking would be great, I want to move my focus to diet right now. I need to get back to grips with green smoothies for breakfast and getting my carb intake down. It was been hard to say 'no' to myself lately. My appetite seems ferocious and my energy levels become hugely affected by reducing my calorie intake.
It is a tough battle, but I need to make a stand and get though the initial shock of a reduction of carbs. I know that in no time I will feel better for it, but it's just like an addict going through withdrawals - it's a hard process but necessary.
