WHMP: 31 October 2017
Today is my last Tuesday off before I start back at work full time next week. I’m wondering how I will cope working full time again as I haven’t working full time since 2011 before I went on maternity leave.
Being my last Tuesday off I used the opportunity to go to the gym. And I was totally out of my comfort zone as I was wearing the new gym top Jamie picked out for me. I am ALWAYS so crazy self conscious of my belly bulge and attempting to hide at all costs. Today this wasn’t the case, I wasn’t hiding the bulge under a tent I would normally wear instead I was wearing a smaller and shorter top – this is terrifying to me especially when I am wearing tight and revealing gym pants underneath. I hope I didn’t burn anyone’s eyeballs who had to look at me.
I did another RPM class!
I can honestly say that I have NOT yet been hit by the endorphins of loving RPM but it’s a crazy intense workout. My Fitbit recorded my burning just under 700 calories….I do however know that it would be way more than that as for over 15 of the 50 minutes it stopped working because I was sweating so much! Realistically it would have been a 1,000 workout and nobody can argue with that.
Red face and all! The instructor came and saw me afterwards and told me she could tell I was working and pushing myself harder and that I was doing really well.
I had a follow up appointment with my GP today and after doing my research and realising the wait list to access the public list for skin removal surgery is between 18-24 months. So we have decided given the issues I am already having and knowing they will only get worse with my excess skin that we have today sent off my referral to the specialists. I know it’s still a long way away and I still need to get to goal weight but I am already a little bit happier knowing that the process has already started.
