Day 93

Well...obviously I've missed a few days, haven't I?? I have been quite busy with my IM stuff, and VERY slack about exercise, but for a good reason... I sprained my thumb :( I did it the night of the High School Reunion on the 1st, and now 11 days later it's still bandaged and I still can't use it! This means no cycling (as I can't hold the handlebars or brake!!). I have also been VERY slack with the old eye exercises.

Quite honestly, my biggest stress right now is FINANCIAL. So, I have been putting more effort into making money than other stuff. I need to put in even EXTRA EXTRA effort, as at the end of this month I have over $1000 worth of bills due and I STILL need my car serviced. So, yeah...I need the $$ to start coming in. This means WORK WORK WORK. Anyway, the weight is still coming off slowly. For the last few weeks I've lost around 300 to 400g a week. I know this is probably a good, healthy speed, but I'd like it to be a bit zippier ;) I do want to weigh 50 by the time the year's out! At this rate it will take me over 40 weeks to get there! Still, even if I am a bit heavier come this summer, I'll still be happy because I'll have lost sooo much compared to last summer when I was 74kg!

Well, I am hoping to get back to cycling next week. I am afraid that with no exercise I'll go backwards. Can't do my BodySculpt either because I can't hold the bloody bands!! I really need to get my muscles working, because I don't want to lose muscles instead of fat.

My diet has been reasonable, but not perfect. I need to work on more raw food and less cooked. I do pretty well most days, but other times I splurge on bad stuff. I have a couple of pimples on my face too, and they're certainly not due to raw!! However, I must say I am still looking loads better than I used to. My skin is better, it's fairly unlined and stuff, and I definitely look young for someone about to turn 37. One thing I have noticed lately is a LOT of hair loss. It's quite annoying, actually. It started when I dyed my hair (maybe that's telling me something???) and hasn't really slowed down much. Next time I am definitely using henna. Now, there's no question of me NOT dying my hair cause that'll age me right there! For all that my face is young, I have grey hairs coming through, and nothing is more aging than greying hair! I am hoping that being more raw and having some wheatgrass powder will help my hair return to its natural colour. Some people say it's impossible, but I've heard enough evidence that it's definitely possible to reverse grey hair.

Anyway, it's time for me to WORK WORK WORK!!!
