I have to be completely honest with you all. Last week, the scales were not my friend so I skipped my weigh in update post. This week, I'm still not feeling very fond of them but I have forced myself to get back on it and write this post because, well, the whole point in me documenting my weight loss is to be accountable, and so that is what I will be!
I finished my week #2, having lost 10 pounds and feeling so positive that I thought I might be posting about me hitting a stone lost by my next update. I did also mention I was a bit worried about the week 3 blues hitting as it so often has since I had my baby. Unfortunately the latter was true.
Life got busy. I was having mad chocolate and carb cravings and I was rushing around in my daily life and sometimes not having enough time to make the wisest decisions about food. Nevertheless, I decided to bite the bullet and weigh in this week.
I fully expected to have to report a gain, so I'm happy. It's just a little loss and most likely only because I decided to pull it together in the last week. But it's still a loss and that's what I will focus on.
Diet
Week 3 saw me eating too much bread, pasta and cheese. And even though I was trying to keep it in moderation where I fell down was being too busy to count the calories. Week 4 and I was back to my carb substitutes. I've been having loads of cauliflower mash. I love it.
I had been eating seed sensations bread, however I have changed over to Hovis, wholemeal, small loaf which is only 55 calories. I try not to have too much but this one is good if I want to have some toast in the morning or a lunch time sandwich. I'll go into more details about my meals next update.
Exercise
I have struggled to focus on operation 10k, but I did manage to do 10,000 steps for 2 days in both week 3 and 4. For some reason Fitbit has not been emailing me my weekly reports so I can't post it here. Nothing else to report on the exercise front.
Does anyone have any tips for me on how to keep focussed?
I feel good about the coming week. Wish me luck!

When I was off on holiday (to America, the land of trans fats and like, just all the fast food) I saw your post about your weight loss - you go girl! Now that I'm back in the UK, I am so needing to get myself a plan...I like reading about yours (gives me motivation) and I think you're doing so well, don't be too hard on yourself! I also struggle with maintaining my focus and motivation and I know it's from having so many 'bad' habits and trying to drop those or at least form better ones. How come it's SO easy to eat 4 mini KitKats in a row but so hard to go out for a 1 mile walk every day?! UGH. My only tip would be maybe finding someone to be a workout buddy? That's when I was at my best - when I had a friend to do workouts with or go to the gym. Good luck!!

ReplyDeleteWelcome back!! I hope you had a FAB holiday. You hit the nail on the head. It's so hard to break bad habits but so easy to give into them again. I'm feeling good again and back on it. I don't really have time to properly work out at the moment although a workout buddy sounds great if I could ever find it. I'm trying to walk as much as possible and that seems to be working for now xx
