Day 4

The last few days have been great! I have had more energy and just wanted to get out and do more, rather than sleep a lot. The meal replacements actually taste great. The chocolate one is my favourite, the banana one reminds me of banana paddle pops, the vanilla one reminds me of those vanilla wafer sticks I used to eat by the tin full, the strawberry one is like strawberry milk. I dont like caramel so I didnt buy that one and apparently there is a caffe late one, but I dont like coffee either so I didnt buy it. For dinner I have been having vegetables (carrot, brocoli and cauliflower) and either 200g of tuna, or 200g dry fried pork without the fat. There are some recepies in the CSIRO "Meals for Living Simply Well" that came with the Impromy welcome pack, that I want to try. We shall see if I get adventurous in the kitchen haha.

I really didnt want to go to the gym today, I kept making up excuses in my head about why I shouldnt/couldnt go. I didnt want the muscle pain for the next few days. However I dragged myself to the gym and into the Step class. It was fun and although I dont use the step for half of the class and I cant squat, I kept going. When they did squats, I marched etc. Every now and then the instructor would look at me and nod and once she even said "good girl" when I kept doing my own thing while the rest of the class were doing things I couldnt do with my knees. She had told me before the class started, to give her my best and just keep moving when I cant do her moves.

So yeah it was a good session at the gym after all of that!!! Cant wait to weigh in next week. I cant use the chemist scales until next Tuesday unfortunately. I think that will be day 10.
