Rest week

I had an awesome week last week and my weigh-in last week resulted in a 1.8kg loss. But as I posted, this somehow left me feeling a bit deflated and wanting more. This has kind of resulted in me taking a week off mentally to give my body and my mind a bit of a break. I have still followed the meal plans (although have had one or two extra glasses of wine) but I haven't done ANY exercise at all!

Fat Jo would have got to this point and given up. She would have thought 'see! I've proved I can lose weight! No need to do any more now!'.

But that's not thin Jo's way of thinking at all.

I have taken my foot off the pedal a little bit this week and I've relaxed a few things, particularly the exercise. But I am now rested, relaxed and ready to get back to it.

So tomorrow morning I'm going to get up and jump on those scales and accept that my weight is pretty much the same as it was last week. I may even celebrate that I'm not facing a gain. And then I'm going to go out for week 2 run 1 of couch to 5k.

I'm going to have a 'doozy' of a week this week! (I think that's the correct terminology - this isn't a word we use in the UK so who knows if that means what I think it does!). But I really mean it - I'm going to SMASH this week's arse!

And my body is going to thank me for the rest and reward me with a kilo off by next week's weigh in. And I can't wait!
