Week 17 Update – Feeling Frustrated

Aaaargh, this wasn’t supposed to happen this week, after the disappointment of only losing 1.8 kilos last week but a good amount of centimetres I expected the weight to come off this week as often happens.

But this week a loss of only 0.8 kilos.

But I suppose a loss is a loss, and that is a good thing. It’s better to be 127.2 kilos than 158 kilos. I am glad that I feel that I want more loss, but I also realise that I need to work a bit harder for it. I can’t turn 27+ years of self abuse around in a week or 17.

Ok, so what did I learn this week?

• Can’t eat poorly for 3 days and work it off  qucikly.
• 3 exercise sessions in a week isn’t enough.

So what will I do diffferently next week?

• Eat well all week
• Limit Fat Food Friday to lunch only
• At least 5 exercise sessions

Temptations to confront this week

• Ballarat on Saturday at friends for party
• Football on Sunday
• Tuesday night management drinks
• Thursday night staff drinks

Strategy;

• Eat home prepared meal for lunch before leaving
• prep vegetables to have with barby on Saturday evening.
• Take roasted almonds to Footy (Go Bombers!)
• Carry water bottle at party, drink constantly.
• Tuesday night, just drink water (easy as I am not much of a drinker these days)
• Thursday night, I’ll miss the drinks as I need to pick up my son from school.

Most importantly though is I’ll be aware and alert of not letting myself down and mark down the victories over temptation as I go.

Check out a great site that I’ve been using since the start of saving Alan called Zealog, it allows you to chart your progress on anything you may want to measure from the crazy to the mundane. I use it for updating my weekly weight and measurements.
