CYCLE THREE: 90 day SSS Pop the Cork! I am at the end of my training now!

So I am in a routine now, it's been quite stable. Never had I cheated on the exercise, I always did the four times a week exercise even if it is already late at night or if I am tired.
Weight has stabilised at 47.4 kg but it would be nice to go down to 46 something. This is because once you lose weight you feel very light and energetic. You will be less tired and will have even more energy to work, play, think. I am more productive and alert than I had ever been.

Cheats
The only areas I cheated was with sugar and alcohol. I will never be able to go for three months without white carbs or sugar or alcohol. That is my heartline. I am absolutely crazy about donuts, croissants, cake, chocolates, Prosecco. Once I touch it, that's it. I have to keep going and finish it, even if I am actually cutting down on the amount. For example. I allow myself a croissant every week rather than every day. Plus there have been birthdays, celebrations. Alcohol I am allowing myself once a week.
Once you touch alcohol and sugary snacks, you feel tired and lethargic and so the cycle begins again.

Weights and multitasking
I find this section very dull but luckily there are periods of rest as long as 1.5 minutes which I use wisely in reading novels or doing household chores. So the dullness is only in short bursts. I am just putting up with it because it is part of the routine. In this cycle, the actual total time of exercise is shorter, i.e. 35 minutes in total, so one can't complain. Previously in Cycle Two it was taking up to between 45 and 55 minutes and so many resting periods that I was folding laundry. I worked out that in a 45 seconds rest period you can fold 3 items of clothing. Guys, don't join a gym. You will never be able to do what I am doing, which is multitask to the max when exercising. Thank you Joe. I will be ironing during the long periods of rest next. Don't tell me people just stare into space for 1.5 minutes. I read about three pages of a gripping novel or if it's artsy and hard to get into, I read one to two pages.

The end is the beginning
Now that I am in Cycle Three, I feel like this is the beginning, not the end. I also have become quite philosophical about food and healthy living. It is a sustainable way of living. I will be costing the NHS less as I take responsibility over my own well-being and my family's of course.
Here is the most recent photo. In two weeks the three cycles would be finished. I will be celebrating!

CYCLE TWO: Week 4 Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now

So despite the dullness of doing weights, I have been doing well and then came half term. We went away for a night. It was wonderful staying at the Marriott in Swindon.
During half term, I ate out for about three days. I had pizza express, burger at Five Guys, alcohol,
Krispy Kreme (it was Halloween),

the works. It was the best Krispy Kreme I ever had and I had to buy three because that is about 13p cheaper than buying singles.
Even so, I blame my children who knew my weakness and worked on it, leading me down the path of temptation of eating monster sweets. From sweat to sweets. From burpees to bloatees.
And look who's sorry now. Just over three meals I managed to put on 1.7kg. And of course the big tummy was back. It loves me and always finds the first opportunity to return.
Such hard work gone down the drain. So I am starting my spartan regime again. Low carb, low sugar, low fat, high protein meals such as cauliflower and lentil curry on a bed of spinach:

Or smoked salmon, scrambled eggs and avocado:

It has taken me a full five days to lose 0.3 of the 1.7 kg I gained.

Today is Week 4 of my CYCLE TWO. I am finding weights very boring. I was better when it was just Cardio HIITs. So not perfect but I am still trying hard and not giving up.
