No Pain, No Pain!

Hey Guys!

Another great day today and still on track and going strong!
Started the day with Bran flakes and milk, I had an apple at 10.30, lunch was a chicken salad and then dinner was a carrot an onion omelette with some leftover chicken! yummy! I did allow myself 3 Jaffa Cakes and a few chocolate bonbon sweets today as a treat, my sister had a big operation today and, as an emotional eater, all I wanted was a comfort food while I was worrying and waiting to hear if she was ok but I didn't go mad and dive into the biscuit tin at work or anything and the treats I did have left me with calories to spare for the day so I'm happy with that. I still cycled my 7 mile journey and then did a 10 minute Boxercise YouTube workout video that was brilliant!

I woke up this morning aching all over from all the working out I've been doing but my mind (being in a positive kinda mood) told me to get my arse out of bed and onto the bike! Admittedly things did not get easier on the way to work, my legs were aching every pedal of the way but I powered through and got there! As I cycle along cycle paths and pavements I allow myself to listen to music on my trip and todays choice was the song "Hearts on Fire" from the film Rocky 4 which is fab for a bit of motivation. I've watched the film a million times and love how, when Rocky's training, they say "No pain, No pain" well this became my little mantra on that ride!
Also when I got home I really didn't want to do the boxing workout but my mind took me into a little daydream of my sisters wedding and me walking round in my gorgeous dress that I've chosen and some beautiful high heels and I was off of the sofa!

I will keep this momentum going and deep down I know that despite how hard it is now, things will get easier and it will all be worth it in the end

so NO PAIN! NO PAIN! LOL

Until tomorrow xxxx
