Inevitably, it happened. I've been dreading writing this post for too long, but it's time to take my head out of the sand and admit it...I fell off the wagon.
And I've no excuse. Last week was a tough week mentally and physically, I also started back at college and I started a new job, but I can't hide behind excuses. I had plenty of time to go to the gym and I gave myself every excuse under the sun not to go.
Once I'd eaten something crap, that was it "What's the point of going to the gym now after eating that?", or "I walked to work and back today, I've done enough exercise for the day". But realistically, I could've gone, couldn't I?
It wasn't until I did my neknomination video for Facebook the other day that I realised how much weight I've gained. Each take away, can of coke and burrito I've eaten in the past few months all slowly but surely crept on.
I'm tired of being so unhappy about it. "What's to say this time is different", I'm sure you're wondering. And the answer is, "I don't know?" But if I don't believe in myself, no one will. And the main thing is, I've been honest.
The hardest thing to do is to let yourself slip, even for one day, it's so difficult to pull yourself together and get back on it. I've been giving myself excuses for months now, and I'm finally ready to admit it.
I have no excuses. I'm just lazy. But I was happy with my weight once, and I can do it again.
I've brushed the dust off my old friend 'Run Fat Bitch, Run!', by Ruth Field.
This book is all the motivation you'll need. I couldn't recommend it highly enough, and I'm reading it for the second time. It really is the only fitness book you'll need to read, (apart from my blog, obviously!)
I'm getting a bit frustrated with my blog recently, as I'm sure you are too. I'm struggling with what direction to take it in. At the end of the day it is 'Fiona's Fashion Ireland', (although I am toying with the name). So what I've decided to do it, a weekly update (at least) of my weight-loss, rather than daily. And every other day, blog about the things I love. Fashion, reviews, and the odd bit of celebrity gossip.
Keep an eye on my Facebook page though for healthy recipes, tips, style tips and competitions. I'm definitely going to be more active on Facebook, so please please please don't be afraid to like and share!

Love your blog Fiona. But did you really do a neknomination?
ReplyDeleteThanks a million :) I did, but it was more of a satire to be honest! And it wasn't a pint, it was a cocktail. I think it's a ridiculous idea, but something funny came to me so I went with it! :)
