So I have been at it for just over 2 weeks now. And still I have very little to show for it all. I know I haven't been exercising before this, and I know I shouldn't expect miracles instantly but shouldn't I be seeing something?

I have decided if I haven't seen any sign of good progress by 6-8 weeks into this I am going to have to go see a doctor to see if they can find anything medically wrong with me (and yes I know I should have gone to a doctor before starting this but I am far from a fan of doctors so I go as little as possible to see them).

Yesterday my period started. Oh the joys. So I have packed on some weight with that. I feel bloated and so not in the mood to keep at it but I do anyway. Yesterday I did 1hr of stepper work with the board up on phone books to add to the effort. I have been putting it up on the phonebooks (2 sitting side by side so it's not a HUGE extra but still about 4cm added to the height).

Today I was much better and did my whole routine. I feel at times like I am wasting my time on all this. I know I cant expect to see it all happen instantly and have that whole instant gratification like I would like. But I wish I was getting more from it. After 2 weeks shouldn't I be seeing more of a loss than 0.3kg? I mean who knows what I would really be without the bloating but still. it's wearing on me that I am not seeing more (or more LESS) from it all.

Add to this yesterday I ended up having a hungry jacks meal for lunch (this is equivalent of burger king for Americans). And it was revolting. I didn't enjoy any of it. We were running late for lunch. Was just going out to get the girls (so 2:30) and were heading past HJ and in a moment of weakness in both of us stopped in for a meal. I don't think I will be having another one any time soon. None of it pleased me at all. I think I will stick to my craving of Subway. They are at least healthy!!

At least the husbeast has noticed a gain in weight with the crappy lunch we had yesterday (the same as me half a kilo was whacked back on after it!!! oops!).

Thank you to my 2 supporters!! It's great to know someone is there with encouragement and in Jen's case joining along with me :)

I know it is hard when you don't see something happen especially when you know how different all your efforts have been from what you would normally have done. But it will happen. One day soon your body will click in and then you will start seeing the difference.

We believe in you. We know you can keep going and you will do it.

Keep at it!

p.s. You wouldn't want to use our phone books - they are 2 inches thick lol
