Hi everyone,
It’s been a week since my last Weigh in, so I am officially at the end of my second week - WOOOOOO!!! It has been such a crazy week: Still putting my new townhouse together, and first week back at work after the Christmas break. It has been utter chaos.
I have had a pretty lame week of effort this week, and I just feel exhausted. I haven’t exercised nearly as much as I should have, and I have absolutely STRUGGLED to eat enough, despite having Tony Ferguson shakes which are supposed to make it easier. My diet this week has compromised (per day): 1x instant coffee, 1x skinny cafe latte, 1x piece of fruit, 2x chicken kebabs (the ones on a stick) and half a dinner plate of crunchy asian salad. Absolutely appalling. I have been drinking a tonne of water though. And I feel so guilty about my diet this week. No surprise that I was mega constipated by Thursday, so I had to take a laxative. The aftermath was hell.
Exercise consisted of many trips up and down stairs, as well as madly trying to get this house in order. I feel super guilty about this too, because I am meant to be making a really big effort.
One thing I have been doing (which I really need to stop doing) is weighing myself daily; in the mornings, naked, after going to the toilet. For the first few days this week, I was losing 500g a day. But the last three days I have gained 100g a day. If I look at the grand scheme of the week, it’s great but these small gains have me feeling down. I knew this would happen, though - I would reach a point where I feel sad about results. And I really did this to myself by weighing every day, so no more of that! haha
I have felt a lot of guilt this week, and perhaps I have just expected that I could do everything 100% without considering how much I have actually taken on. I definitely know that being back at work has been WAY more challenging than I expected, and I perhaps need to plan this a lot better. Set alarms for food. Plan ahead etc...
In any case, I am currently sitting at 91.6kg, so I am still down 1.4kg from last week, and 3.9kg in total. I had hoped for bigger numbers, especially in the first 2 weeks. I am not feeling the energy I did the first 2 days, though my appetite is suppressed. A loss is a loss, and I am still happy with that. I may consider asking for 40mg at the end of the month though.
Sorry if this post is a bit glum. I am feeling very tired and flat, but I will work to pull myself out of this funk. Hope everyone is having a wicked week xx
