Junk food taste like, well junk!

Welcome back if your here following my journey to a happier, healthier and fitter me. And if this is the first blog of mine you are reading don't forget to read my previous posts where I share my starting and 3 day measurements.

So these past three days have been OK except for the day we went to the beach to have some family time, what was a planned lunch of baked chicken and roasted veggies had turned into a lunch of hot chips. One thing I realised in my guilt at that point was that, although I use to enjoy hot chips on the odd occasion, truthfully they tasted like crap. So while I sat there eating out of politeness and hunger, thinking of how big of a workout I would have to do that night, I figured in itself this was a good thing. Although I haven't been on this journey very long, and even though I still had cravings for junk food. I realise that from this healthy food I have been having, that the junk tastes like, well junk!

Don't know if chocolate would still taste bad. I have had craving every day for chocolate but don't fall into it. I never use to like chocolate, it was only when I was pregnant with my second did I start to enjoy it.

Energy level wise is up and down. Most the time I do have more energy to do the things I use to put off, but at the same time I find that once tired, I'm absolutely stuffed and need to sleep. I don't know if its my body getting rid of the shit out of my system, or if its the workouts I have been doing as well as the 2-3 middle of the night bottle runs I still do. I honestly haven't had a full night sleep in almost 2 years now. I know that sleep is ment to be important to recovering and aids in stress levels in turn helping weight loss. But there is nothing I can to get more sleep.

I'm still keeping up with my 2-3 L of water a day, and bathroom trips are starting to space out. I did notice that the first 4-5 days of drinking all that water make me feel sick, like I was over full, needed to vomit etc. So instead off trying to drink large amounts at a time to get the amount of water into my day, I started to drink smaller amounts more often. I'm even noticing that if I haven't had water for 15-20 minutes I feel thirsty quickly so have more water. I'm now finding it very very easy to get my 2-3 L and even more some days.

So exercise wise. I have found out I don't like zumba. And no offense to anyone who loves it. I think it's just because I have the coordination of a retarded mud crab, I struggle to do even the most simple moves correctly and in turn end up more frustrated than anything. So zumba itself I like the idea of, and might try to re visit once I have lost some weight, and have more balance but for now its a no go. So I have stuck with my butt blitz DVD as well as doing some beginner's workouts I found on YouTube. At this stage I am doing  trial and error of the YouTube videos until I find a few I like and want to stick to.
