0 Day 26: I can open a restaurant...

And JUST when I thought this weight loss challenge would have no more surprises to offer...BAMMM...I was almost knocked unconscious by their e-mail just minutes ago.

First of all... weight loss percentages are in!! Up until now I've lost 7% of my total weight...

I don't know what that should mean for what the challenge is concerned, but to me it means something like "hmmmm, progress Sy!"

I have no idea how they count those, and I was never good with numbers anyways...so save me that trip around the block. Only thing I know is that it's got to do with the body weight, the Body Mass Index (BMI), the fat percentage and the fat millimeters... From there....BLANK!!

But anyways...7% and still three weigh in to go....

With those results I also received diet # 2...

Oh Loooooorrddd....I stood there like a block of concrete as I read it! LOL.

It all went something like this...

I opened the mail on my BlackBerry while on the phone with a lady from court. Suddenly I chuckled out loud, excused myself to the lady on the phone, opened my eyed wide, nodded and exclaimed "WHAAAAT?!?!?" (Without actually saying it out loud of course).

My new diet contains steak, steak, steak and more frigging steak. Yup...five times a day STEAK! Starting from 6am.

Lol What the..?

Uhm...I read the mail yet a couple of times after that first reaction. And I even opened it on my computer to be sure... And yes...that's what there is on my menu now...STEAK!!!!

I mean.....lol....really????? Steak with sweet potatoes at 6am? I have never in my live eaten such a thing as breakfast before! whahaha...Goshhh...

Now I'm stuck with two dozen eggs, a sealed bag of boneless chicken thighs, baby food... (pfff) Anybody want to buy them from me???

I'm literally out of words to say now...

But steak it is!!!

Bon appetite for me these two coming weeks...

On another quick note, I got a knee support from my doc today since my knee has been acting up in training lately.

And I'm altogether hoping these last two weeks go by fast enough, 'cause I'm getting worn- out, tired, exhausted and a bunch of other things I don't even find the words to describe.

But okay,

Commitment is commitment! I'm going to push on, until April 4th. After that, we'll see what happens to the remaining excess body weight.

Woops,

Almost time for me to head home. Lemme go wrap up.

I'll keep you guys posted!

Totally Flabbergasted,

Sy

0 The remote...

Somewhere deep down, I feel kinda shitty today.
The WHOLE weekend (literally all three nights) I dreamt about this same person...

I don't believe the dreams had specific meanings at all, but my wild guess would be that my subconscious is trying to play filthy tricks on me somehow.

But the dreams they left me thoughtful, worn-out, worried, sad-ish...quite uncomfortable from the inside.
Like if I want to take some kind of an action to stop it all from bothering me, but at the same time there's this something holding me back.

I KNOWWW what kind of action to take, but refuse to yield to that voice for some reason.
It's really like a ferocious battle inside. Of things I want, wish and hope...yet...

(sigh)

Ever had such a feeling? A feeling that kinda eats at your brain cells?

I need a vacation! Temporarily stepping out of it all...
Then again I need to make up my mind, sort out what to do...and then do...something...anything...whatever.

I know...sounds confusing and all. But it's exactly like this (x 10) in my head right now.

I guess a rewind button would have helped perfectly in such a moment like this.
Go back, erase and re-write...replay, relive, redo.
Zap the channel...pause...whatever!

Yes, I would have gladly used the remote control of my life in a moment like this...
For specific situations and specific moments...with specific intentions and specific reasons wich I am yet not even willing to admit aloud.

2 Day 22: Weigh beyond my expectations :D

Weigh in nr. 3 brothah...

I was waiting on the fat percentage results before posting. But it seems as thou I won't be getting those today...
So I decided to give you the scoop as I now have it.

I'll be short thou, my lovebugs...sorry for that, but I have a workshop to give this coming week (again). And seeing the crammed schedules of these past weeks, I'd better work in advance. Otherwise I might as well not get anything done in time.

Anyways back on topic.
Today was weigh in again, and I did one of the silliest dances ever seen on Fort Nassau!!! (AHA!! we did Fort Nassau again. I hate that hill with deep fervor).
But, I've lost another 3Kgs this past weeks (Grins widely  and does another silly move). Isn't that reason enough to crazily dance around? YES, IT ISSS...!!!
This brings me to a total of 7,5Kgs in 3 weeks. It's been purely hard work, deprivations, sweats, a diet that's finally yucking me out, protests, muscle pain and even tears of anger at some point. But as you see...benefits are showing up!

Thou the weight in Kgs isn't important for this challenge, I'm surely proud of myself. All the efforts are surely paying off in the end.
I'll have to write another post as soon as I know the results in fat percentage...

But as for now... a PowerPoint presentation awaits to be made for next weeks' workshop. Tonight it's early to bed again. For tomorrow morning it's 7 o'clock in Banda Bou for some water aerobics. (Yeayyyy!!)

So, see ya around loveroos!

Ecstatic,

Sy

0 Day 20: 1...2...3..PUNCH!

Today we officially split the challenge in two...

Woooooohhhoooo (Sy jumps and wiggles)

As a friend of mine said, the countdown starts!

Allow me a moment of sincerity here... For a moment there today, I so totally cheated. I had a piece of cake, and hell yea I enjoyed it too.
(Let's not start about the guilty feeling that followed thereafter thou.)

But yea...it's done so...no turning back!

Today was also day two of kick-boxing training. OMG... I looooved it today!!! Have I told you that I really really really LOVED it??? Hahah We got the chance to punch and kick our stress (and calories) away today. (In a high pitch) AWESOME!!!
As the (male) trainer stood in front of me I said "brace yourself mister, here comes storm!" I pictured miss Witchy Bitchy (name has been changed of course) and released my frustration like a pro. Lol
Oh boy....that was de-stressing!!!!

Hahaha anyways, I just thought I'd give you guys an update, since the first experience last Tuesday was a total pain in the innermost part of the bottom.
But I thought I'd let you know I feel quite energized after todays training session again.

Ps. Miss Witchy Bitchy would better not mess with me anymore...I can kick ass now for real!!! Lol

With boosted energy,

Sy

Here's a laugh to split the week in two...

(Weekend is near again whoohooott!!!)

p.s. Think before you ask sometimes...Or just google it! :P

0 Day 18: So you think you can kick

And yes love, another update. Just for the sake of keeping you informed...properly!

Today's topic..kicked butts!!

On the training schedule of the challenge we have regular indoors gym sessions, boot camp...and we have kick boxing.

Now, there's been different reasons why we couldn't get to kick boxing as yet since we started out the challenge. The trainer went abroad for a competition, came back sick blah blah blah...

Point is, today we were finally introdued to kick boxing after two weeks...and ohhh daaaaaayyyuuuummmn ... I feel KICKED!!! 

Now of course not literally, you silly. So do me a favor and change that facial expression :D

But seriously, WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT??????

If I ever told you that boot camp was hard...please allow me to take back my words. Kick boxing is THE killer.. LOL Mega hard!! Supersize..with fries on the side!...OMG (sigh)

And they expect us to be there again this Thursday...GAWD...someone bail me out!!! 

Naaahhhh nevermind the bailing...Imma have to level up to kick this work-outs' butt back one of these days...You know, Sweet revenge...

Anyways, I'm supposed to be getting 8 hours of snooze. And according to my schedule I'm already late. So, lemme sign out for a well deserved physical recharge.

Write you soon (as soon as I can)

Butt kicked,

Sy

0 Check in at day 16

Well here we are,...after the much dreaded Fort Nassau Climb. Thou I must admit, the trainer was merciful today. People called in sick, overslept and had billions of other reasons why they couldn't make it, and in the end it was just me and another girl (with the trainer). So in compensation of our effort, he was gentle on us.

My triceps hurt like someone who's been beaten and my legs feel like someone who ran a marathon! All from yesterday's workout. But I'm hanging in there...

Yesterday was weigh in nr. 2. and I've lost another 0.5kgs. Might sound extreme, but I'm not satisfied...yes, it should have been more! Then again, maybe it's due to the delayed shark week...
But nevertheless I intend to push harder this week.

Eggs are served. (Yuck) lemme go have breakfast and continue on todays routine.
Hmmmm....Maybe a little swim later on will do me good. We'll see...

Anyways...see you all later, gators!
