Ahh, day three... the day when it all catches up with you! Woke up still exhausted and looking like a zombie. Lucky it was a light day at the gym - managed to get through 45 minutes on the cross trainer - but it was a bit touch and go there for awhile on the walk home. The main thing that kept me going was the weigh in - lost another 800g taking the total to 1.3kg. Not gonna lie - pretty happy with that. I'm feeling fit and can see a difference too.
The walk to/from the gym is posing another challenge... having to walk past what feels like every one of my favourite foods while I'm sweaty, exhausted, starving - it's one of the biggest tests of will-power I've ever experienced. Please note, however, that I have not and will not cave - I'm gaining momentum and a few seconds of pleasure is not enough to ruin all this work. Stuck to 1200 calories again today, got a second walk in this arvo (carrying heavy groceries on the way back) and even managed to cook up an amazing omelette for dinner (egg whites, ham, pineapple & chives - SO tasty but only 150 calories!).
All in all, yes I'm exhausted, yes I'm hurting and yes this is the hardest I've worked for anything... perhaps ever? But it is so worth it. I moved to New Zealand to be an actor so now I'm going to start living like one. Never let it be said that I don't walk the walk!
