Happy Sexy Monday and Happy Easter and Happy Bank Holiday weekend!
Personally, I am taking the opportunity today to completely chill out. Having driven almost 500 miles this weekend I'm keen to just veg out and relax. Why would I drive 500 miles on a bank holiday weekend, you might ask. The answer to that will be made clear in this week's Sober Wednesday post.
Weight Update
So, as I mentioned on a previous Sexy Monday, my current goal is to lose 0.5kg per week. I'm glad to say that I'm still on target, and that, at my last weigh-in I was 90kg exactly. 1kg lighter than two weeks ago, hurray!
Inspired by my sister who has recently lost over 20lbs using myfitnesspal, I intend to start logging my food on there and will report back how it goes. Because I'm tall and my weight loss goal is fairly conservative, I can still have 1,880 calories a day, which sounds like loads! Logging everything I eat is not something I want to do forever, but it does serve as a good wake-up call from time to time.
I'm also making good progress in the gym. When I first started going I was only getting about three reps out with the 20kg bar on the bench press. Now I'm doing four sets of ten reps. That's a big improvement. My seated row has improved and I'm adding weight onto my deadlift too. I believe that building lean muscle mass is super important while losing weight, so that the weight I do lose is fat, not muscle, and then hopefully as I burn the fat, a new, lean physique will be revealed.
So I call it weight loss, but my real goal is a reduction in my body fat percentage.
Tanning Dreams
According to the calendar, Spring is here. According to looking out of the window, not so much. I absolutely love the sun and I love having a tan, although up until recently I've stayed away from fake tan, thinking that all skin tones are beautiful (which is true, by the way) and that we don't need to change our skin tones to be beautiful.
But, it's been a long winter and I haven't seen the sun in a long time. I decided to put some tan on and see how I feel.
I feel fabulous.
I'm using a Rimmel tanning mousse in the colour light/matte.
I put it on with a tanning mitt to avoid orange palms, and I just feel so different with a glowing complexion and a lovely tan. A few people asked if I'd been away somewhere. I wish. But honestly I felt like a new person. So I'm definitely going to be incorporating some self-tan into my weekly beauty routine. I'm certainly not going after the orange look, I put it on twice last week and that was too much, but once a week I think will keep me glowing just enough.
So I think that's all for this week's Sexy Monday. I'll be reporting back on Wednesday on my latest sober adventures.
See you then,
SSV
