Hello! Start of Week 9

Hello there.

The time has flown since 11th May when I first started out.

Day after Mothers Day & I had family over. They cooked a massive breakfast of buckwheat pancakes & lightly fried vegies & leftovers. The smell was heaven.

But, I wasn't allowed any of that & had to start my new food plan with a tiny meal of porridge & protein (in my mind it was very very tiny to what I was used to). But I did it as I really wanted to change myself. The first week was the toughest as I felt a little lonely eating a different way. However, the forum was a good place to see that other people were in the same situation as me. After the first week it got better.

A woman at my gym told me yesterday I was wasting away to a shadow! I can't tell you how much that hurt. I still have a complex about her comment. To make matters worse, she said it in front of people I do regular classes with. Soooooo embarrasing! The very next day - as if to verify her comments were unfounded - another friend who I haven't seen since I started the program (a male who is very straight to the point) told me I'd lost weight & that I was looking good. That was a very nice confirmation. The woman's comments still hurt.

Weighed myself this morning. 67kg! Pretty happy with that especially seeing I started out at 75kg of feeling very uncomfortable. Check with Mentor on advice.

Although Cardio is my weakness I'm working on it. Much preferring the updated program - not so daunting. Still got a lot of work to do on myself. But that's ok.
