So this weeks accountable Monday is going to prove why I do this... Because I didn't lose a thing!
Last Week: 74.3kg
This Week: 74.3kg
Loss: Nada, nothing, zilch
Workouts: 2 x weight sessions, 3 x walk, 1 x walk/jog
The walks I did were either very long or short and hard so i'm not completely sure why I didn't lose this week. I walked for hours and hours and hours and at least twice I did a hill/stair climb style walk (I took my puppy through the creek which is very hilly and has some nice big stairs).
I got sick on Saturday and have been bloated and nauseas ever since (I can really feel the bloat in my belly, which is unusual for me). So i'm putting my lack of loss down to that, mostly... although the vodka and pear cider wouldn't have helped i'm sure (but I tracked it and was not over points!).
Unfortunately the sickness I experiences coupled with my back pain (another new and annoying development) meant I didn't do any exercise on Sunday like I hoped to. I'm all stocked up on panadol now though and I have made a doctor's appointment so it wont be an excuse this week!
So since I didn't lose i'm going to look at what I did well this week:
- Kept to my points on most days and didn't go over for the week
- Tracked every day
- Took healthy snacks and meals with me when I went to Melbourne so I wouldn't use 'being away from home' as an excuse to not follow my healthy eating routine
- Chose a 'healthy' option when I went out to dinner with the family
- Came out with left over points for the week due to not using my activity points
- Drank, in moderation, and didn't go nuts with the junk food post my drinking
- Went to a friends house for dinner (hi Tash) and we went for a walk while we caught up instead of sitting on our behinds
- I didn't gain!
I had a great week and weekend though. I had to do some exams, which is never fun, but now that i've done them i'm one step closer to getting my UK nursing registration! Yay!
I got to go out to dinner with my family on Wednesday night, which was great. I also stayed at dad's place so he and I had some time to catch up (we went out to coffee and lunch on Thursday too).
I went to the Tim Burton exhibition on Thursday night which was awesome!!!! and I got to spend some time with my Melbourne crew who I love to death. I also got some quality time with my friend Sue who lives in the UK and had come over for a visit.
The weekend was spent relaxing after the belly/nausea issues I had and that brings us to Monday.
This week needs to be a productive week for me. I have so much to do to get ready for the overseas move and I really need to get off my arse and start to do them. So this week I will:
- Call the garden man
- Call the real estate agents and start getting my house ready for renting
- Start packing some of my stuff
- Organsie my laptop situation
That will do for now. Anyway, better get to work... wish me luck!
Ooh ooh! I totally have a tag all to myself!
ReplyDeleteOne of the worst things I have found on my journey are the weeks when you don't lose. Sure, you didn't gain, but you DIDN'T LOSE! Even though you did everything right! It's so difficult to get over that hurdle - and the worst/best bit is that it is entirely in your mind.
The only thing I can say is that if you keep moving forward the weeks where you don't lose get further and further behind you!
Love ya bones!
