After weighing in this morning at only 285 lb – another 3.2 down from Friday, I was on top of the world this morning. That’s 6 lb gone in just over a week! Translated, it’s 2.7kg, which puts me back under the 130kg mark again and undoes most of the damage of the last 4 weeks. If I manage to drop another 1.3 over the rest of the week, I’ll be back to where I’ve sat for the last 2 years – except this time I have no intention of sitting there.
After all that, I started working out calories and exercise times like nobody’s business. There are 20 weeks to when I guess the final might show, at the earliest. For me to get to goal weight in that time I’ll need to lose 6lb a week, which is probably a bit steep, but I CAN get below the 100kg mark in that time. So of course this afternoon I worked out again – a full hour on the bike this time, on top of the 30m interval training and crunches I did this morning. Like I said – nothing breeds enthusiasm like success. I’ve dug out the old software I have on my palm and started tracking, but between working out & doing housework, I missed my snacks and after lunch (which I ate out after discovering I’d need to roast another capsicum!) I was still only just over 900 calories. I’ve been on the low side for the last couple of days, so I knew I needed to make sure I boosted my intake up again today to stop everything slowing down, so tonight I went out and had a drink down the club with my guy, then a nice mexican meal. Only problem was, I couldn’t eat all of it, so it’s tomorrow’s dinner as well, and I’m still not quite up to where I should be. May have to have dessert tonight.
Not quite used to eating so much, so with all the snacks I’ve not quite got to this week there was a bit of a pile of fruit left over. I’ve just finished chopping it all into a fruit salad which I’m going to bring with me to work tomorrow, and work my way through over the next couple days (freshly squeezed lemon juice over the top of it, yum).
Anyway, wish me luck – tomorrow I’m back to work and going to get massive doses of stress (and cortisol) flowing through the system again. Will have to work even harder to overcome it. Catch you later,
Crystal
