“Mummy can I play your exercises too” said a little voice this morning, I was tempted to say to my beautiful 4 year old that mummy wasn’t playing I was doing some hard training!, but to him what I was doing look like playing and I guess that’s what it should be! Something we do to keep fit and healthy but also for enjoyment.
I played soccer with my kindy class on Thursday I ran and i got sweaty and we all laughed out heads off the kids had a ball and so did I. That’s when the thought popped into my head. I then watched all the kids running around at lunch time climbing the climbing equipment, playing tag, skipping, soccer and superhero games which involved running. None of them complained about being tired or saw muscles or no time they were all enjoying being active without giving it a second thought. So when did it get hard??
So this week my plan is to play more!! More running around with my own kids and having fun less watching from the sidelines be a use after all this is what this journey has been about i wanted to be able to run around and play with my kids and I did that this week!! I am no where near my goal “weight” but I am moving in the right direction and getting healthy.
As for weight I lost 1.3kg this week. I discovered my base metobolic rate on the 12wbt website, it is 1970 so I decided maybe my body is in storage mode and I need to quick start it and it worked Cals up to between 1500 -1600. And I even managed to burn 500 cals in one workout something I have not done in months yay me. So feeling good at the moment. My mind frame is starting to get to the right point.
