Well 11 weeks Ive been at this plateau........... weights not going down inches aren't going down only thing down is my mood. Well I have had a lot of thinking to do over the last few days. Advice from friends and personal instructors has helped me to realise where i am I'm my head space and where I actually want to be in my life. Last night saw a new me emerge. I was at bootcamp and the fabby instructor came out at the end of the session with some very fancy scales. Tracking body mass, body fat, muscle mass and a couple of other groovy things.
My results although not great did confirm to me that actually I am doing the right thing and even tho the numbers aren't moving I'm improving in other ways.
My muscle mass should be at 30% and I'm currently at 26% so not too much further to go. Yay My body fat should be at between 25/30% I'm at 43% but last time i had this checked over 12 months ago i was at 57% its all good. from the calculations he took he also told me that I need to lose 2st4lb of actual fat. He also told me that I perhaps will never weight the 8st or 10st that WW tells me I should be for my height etc as I have a very high bone density. In his terms this means that I could effectively be 13st with 20-25% body fat and look slim and lean whereas someone else could be 13st with a body fat of 45% and they would look like they need to lose 5st. He told me basically to stop worrying about the numbers on the scales and concentrate on my nutrition.
I have been armed with loads of information and help sheets. I don't wanna say anything bad about WW as I do love the whole programme and have met the most amazing people during my 12months doing it, but for me with the amount of training I'm doing and the way I want to live my life its just not very compatible with my body. I have found myself just filling up my points with crap....eating my dailies very nutritious and not making very good food choices with my extras and weeklies whereas now with the calorie counting and the nutrition watching I'm more aware of what my body needs on the days it needs it.
Tomorrow is WI day and fingers crossed I have done enough to at least shift a lb or 2.
On the up side too I popped into the shop today mooching around for something to wear for a night out next week and came across the most amazing dress. Only 2 left a 16 and an 18.......its a chiffon kinda material so knew i would need the 18 but when i put it on i wasn't overly convinced that I would liek it but i did i really really liked it so I bought it........
so i went clothes shopping I found something I tried it on in the shop and I liked myself in it.........all in all a good day the big test was when i got home trying on with the shoes and tights would i love it then?
Well OMG did I ever I love it i looked so slim and girly and felt amazing, even had a wee tear,cant wait to go out next week now to road test it with my friends........most of whom I haven't seen in a long time so may not recognise me lol.
