Well, after a weekend down south with my mum and dad, 1 bottle of wine, and eating the fatty food that my mum cooked...then coffee, coffee, coffee, and a carrot cake, and chips...and you get the idea...i totally deserved a gain.
However, i did go running whilst down there, walking, earning bonus points...as well as during the week, despite being DEAD tired, I don't think I really deserved a 900g gain!
300 - 400g fair enough! but 900g?!!!
So apart from all that stuff up the top...what got me the extra 500g (remember I deserve a 400g gain!)...
hmmm...
I haven't planned my meals.
I have gone over points 4 days. I have gone to 23 points and then went, oh well.
I have stopped weighing food, but guessing how much I am serving myself.
I am organising meals on the run...picking up a cooked chicken and half taking the skin off (but only tracking it as if it had NO skin, and I cooked it myself!)
I am relying on exercise points, instead of eating properly.
I have not eaten all my vegetable serves.
I am not drinking enough water.
so did I deserve a 900g gain? My goodness, how lucky was I that I only gained 900g??? See what happens when you break it all down and take a step back to see what you did wrong???
So I wont beat myself up because I did all those things wrong.
Instead, I change them, I learn from them. I used to do them...i lost weight. I stopped doing them, I am gaining or staying the same or losing very small amounts. I need to go back to basics.
So this week, simple goals!
And I am going to sign up for the 7km RUN for mothers day classic. No "what if?". I will train. I will get there. So what if i have to walk a bit? But 3km is too easy...and walking...i am no longer a walker. I am a runner! I can do it! I can rest. It wont kill me to walk.
Good loss next week! :)
Hi there, I just wanted to say that you're sounding a lot more positive in this blog ;-) Despite your gain - I did the same last week for the same reasons but have a feeling that I'm going to do it again this week :-(
ReplyDeleteHi there,
ReplyDeleteHope you're getting through your days ok. That level of exhaustion is so hard to deal with.
Haven't been online much lately, but am thinking of you!
