The day of justice has arrived and if you read my last blog you won’t be real surprised about the results. (Especially after Jeni’s wrap-over-the-knuckles comments!) But it is not that bad really. I am 56.5kg today, which is only 0.2 kg lighter than last week, but there is more to it than that!
Firstly, I am suffering from serious water retention. I can’t even move the ring on my finger, which usually slips off by itself. And secondly, my girth measurements have decreased (ever so slightly, but still!)
So, I am moving in the right direction. It is not as fast as I would like it to be, but there are certain things I simply can’t rush, right?
May be I just need to focus on something else… besides the scale. Today, while Jeni was taking my measurements she was motivating me to register for the Two Oceans half marathon. I might just do that…

Hi guys,
If you are following Mel’s program, today should be a well-deserved off day for all of you. I hope you all enjoyed it!
Psychologically it does help sometimes when you take your focus away from the weight. Concentrate on a different goal – like running a 10K race, holding a very hard yoga pose for 5 breaths or I don’t know… entering one of Quinton Chong’s mu thai competitions.
The weight will come off. I promise you! But it does take time! And in today’s culture of instant gratification, keeping your eyes on the scale all the time is one sure way to get de-motivated way before you see results. So, think of some new challenge that you would like to concur and let us know what your goal is.
Ciao!
Jeni
