My Inner Instructor

My backside is not to my satisfaction. And yet I eat really well and I jog about 4 times a week, so it's been a state of confusion in my mind as to why I can't trim up and drop those 3 excess kg.

But then if I really think about it I do slack off the regime pretty easily, a chocolate here, some fried chicken there.. enough to just put back on whatever I mighta sweated out.
hmm, maybe I'm not as good as I think I am. I've been trying to be good for months now to no result.

You know, Nat, I've had enough of this, it's time to GO EXTREME to see if I can just lose it. And the way to do this is to bring out the INNER INSTRUCTOR.

I've set myself a list of tasks, of kind of ridiculous proportions, but it sort of makes it a game that I want to WIN. I want to please my inner instructor.

First challenge is to go to EVERY yoga teacher within a 30km radius of my house. I've made an initial list of my options... I'll even go every day until I've tried them all out.

Every night I have to report to myself about my day. What I ate, how I felt, what exercise I did and what the plan will be tomorrow. It's a way to be accountable to myself. As well as just reflect one day at a time and motivate myself for the next healthy day.

Okay so maybe this appears a bit intense, but I can't see any better option than paying someone else to make demands on me and I don't think the biggest loser will accept me for a 3kg loss goal.

In the spirit of this extreme approach, I'm going to try the same thing with my blogging.
My inner instructor demands that I blog every day for the next two weeks.

See you tomorrow!

jump on a bike nat! with all those hills around where you live, that bum will turn to tightly tuned muscle in no time!

Hey! One instructor is enough Mik!
Anyway these hills are like freaking Mount Everest. I'm simply not ready for that amount of pain.

Hey Nat. I'm sure it's not as bad as you think it is. We all think we could look better. For guys, it's our beer gut. I work out at least three times a week at a gym for an hour and a half at a time. Sure, I have a six-pack, but it's covered in a layer of beer(yeast)/kebab(animal fat)/jack daniels(sugar), so it's very hard to see :-)

What are you going to do though? Stop living? Eat lentils and nuts three times a day? Stop enjoying life?

The body needs to be maintained just like a clean house or apartment, because it is the house for your soul. Do you want your soul living in a dirty or poorly maintained house? No. But at the same time, you still gots to have fun.

All that being said, I'm a big fan of making hardcore goals and then pulling them off...

I'm sure you already know this, but If you want to go nuts, you should cut out all sugar (inc soft drinks and alcohol and chocolate), cheese and all fried food.

Good luck!

ah ha! See this is my confusion Rob, I don't eat any of those things, I barely drink. I AM a nuts, lentils and salad girl. My theory of my weight is therefore coming from a different angle.... something to do with happiness and circulation. Hence part of my plan is to get into the ocean and to return to yoga. So in fact, by doing this I WILL be having fun and living life. I don't think fun is found in food anyways...... :)

good to hear from you by the way!!
