Day 2 of my Change for the better
So I am sitting here, on my hard couch moaning that I am not at my Best friends hen do, I have to pull myself together and keep my target in mind.. Whats my target, LOSE THOSE POUNDS!!!
So as I have nothing better to do, I thought I would check out my local GYMS and see what they have to offer (online).. SO check it, look it Linda, Hunny! (best three year old ever) Having worked for Virgin active, I already know what they have to offer, Fake love and Hidden agendas and at £74 pound per month plus a £30 joining fee how can I possibly ever afford to buy my Alkaline food products, Pay for my kids school lunches and there fortnightly footwear trend (breaking shoes cos its the coolest thing to do) I am a single parent, I own a brand new cleaning company and I really do not have the spare £74 in my budget of healthy living and exercising to spare..
Southbury leisure center- A family environment, Kids can play I can work out do my thang!! at £110 for 2 adults and 2 children I might as well go for the luxury of a small adult only gym, Virgin Active Enfield. Why don't they have more options for smaller families. Even if I was going in as a sole member I'm still looking at paying £46 per month and a £35 joining fee, hmm to much space too many people and I would have to literally make a full day of it. Every time I go gym and have to take the kids Either I pay £110 and go gym then take kids swimming to avtually get my value for money or I pay £46 pm and pay £12 for the kids to go to a creche, Wait a minute! that creche is only suitable for kids up to five year old's.. Its pointless again a wasted time surfing the internet on services that really do not apply to my needs and many others in my situation.
Albany Leisure center are in the same price range as Southbury, the difference is you can be a sole member and add children but yet again what do i do with them when i'm doing me, The receptionist wont watch em and I do not think the other members would like me shouting ' Hey you guys, sit down and stop fart assing about'
Ok I clearly need alone time trying to include the kids wont work, I need to be able to de-stress and except my lifestyle change.. Yes I know some of you will say your only going gym and your eating healthy.. Do you know what foods are alkaline only.. Do you know how difficult it will be to drop SUGAR, Tea, Coffee, McDonald's... CHEESE AND ONION CRISPS Super hard.
Back to the point...
I looked up Pure Gym, Its just that, no extra fluffy towels none of that cutesy stuff just a gym with over forty classes and its 24 hours.. So I looked up the prices £24.99 per month.. The dreaded joining fee was waved because I found a cool site that has discount vouchers and I used the coupon online, they also are not charging me to the 15th of this month.. Awesome balls..
I signed up. So its got a really nice put together members page where you can talk shop or book your classes, I had to book my induction with a man Blah I hate inductions and I would hate it if he was a fit man.. Especially in the state I am in. This is my week schedule ahead am I going to stick to it.. That's the bloody question.
Monday 7th 13:30 induction with the possibly lovely Chris
14:00 Gym session with my niece
Tuesday 8th 12:30 Pure Box fit class (with my niece)
13:00 Gym Session
Wed 9th 09:30 Pure stretch on my own niece said it was booked up
Lies as I can see there are 17 places available
Just say its too early.
Thurs 10th 09:30 Bums and tums Forcibly with niece..
Sat 12th 12:00 Pure dance
12:30 Abs smash
I'm just going to throw my self in to it, This guy I watched on you tube lost 10 pounds in 3 days just from the alkaline diet alone.. so i'm going to combine the two and smash it.. I want to smash it so bloody bad, I missed my best mates hen do but no way am I going to look like a piece of rump steak in her wedding photos as I am a bridesmaid.
So, one thing off my change for the best list has happened..
My list:
Gym membership
Scales
Blender
Alkaline only food ( :( )
3 to go, then a minimum of 30 pounds to lose and few more during the tone up.
As I said I will be video documenting all of my recipes, other peoples recipes but mainly my own concoctions as I cannot eat some of the crap they throw together, no taste at all.. Also have you looked into the sea salt cleanse.. I should really do it on Sunday the day before I start the Alkaline diet in fact I hardly eat salt on my food cant stand the stuff, so why would I drink it.. I will just start my day with lemon and hot water i'm going to be stuffed for breakfast I have absolutely no Alkaline friendly products in my house apart from Lemons and limes.
Good bye breads. Good by meat... I wonder if there are any high in alkaline fish.. I need some form of meat.. Let me Google that.. So I found one ha ha ha.. half an hour later..
Tomorrow, I spend my day Compiling my shopping list, this is going to take a while, as clearly I am so new to this, but the dishes I am going to create shall be superb.. The rule is 80% Alkaline 20% Acidic but because I have a disease, I am going full on Alkaline.100% until the disease has reversed and my body is functioning properly.
I will check on my weight every three days, Purely because I do not want to get upset if I lose a quarter of a pound on day two ha ha.. Can it be that fast ha ha ha ha ha..
I am still in a state of shock of whats about to happen, No more living like crap.. Making that change for the better
A feast 4 a queen.
