Week 33 - Weigh In

Last week - 70.2kgs
This week - 69.1kgs
LOSS - 1.1kgs

Ahhh FINALLY back down into the 60's for my weekly weigh in. Technically I haven't really lost any weight over the last few weeks, it's all been lost/gained.

I'm hoping to crack into the 68's this week though, which is do-able. I know this weekend coming isn't going to be great, as we are heading back to gympie, and have parties and reunions to go to. Kinda stressed about the whole reunion thing, but i'll get over it.

School holidays have started. At the moment i'm aiming to do my 15 minutes on the x-trainer and that's about it. The kids are being kinda feral today, but I guess that's normally the case on the first few days of holidays.

Week 32 - Weigh In

Last Week - 70.2kgs
This Week - 70.2kgs
No Change

After planning a nice quiet weekend, we ended up with unexpected visitors and spent the weekend on the go, Which apparently means that I end up with a lovely case of water/food retention. I was down to 69.1 on Friday but back to 70.2 by yesterday. I'm back down again today to 69.4. I hate the way it fluctuates so much more when you are smaller.

Still not back to doing the exercise I want to be. The energy just isn't there still, and i'm not willing to push it. I did 15 on the x-trainer yesterday, and 30 on the bike last night, and I think for now that's all I can manage.

School holidays start here at the end of the week, and I'm kind of a little nervous about it. A change in routine doesn't always mean well in the exercise department.

Frustrated

It's no secret that i've been really struggling with everything over the last little while. This week however, I was into it. Shocking, right? So you can imagine my frustration when my body decides that it needs a 'rest' and I get sick. I am sooo bummed out about it. I barely had the energy to stand for 5 minutes let alone do anything that was even slightly strenuous. I spent pretty much all Tuesday night, and Wednesday in bed, which doesn't do wonders for the feeling slack department.

Yesterday I was feeling much better, and could actually drag my butt out of bed, and got most of the house cleaned up. Apparently the house doesn't clean itself when you are sick, WHO KNEW!?

Today, I decided to ease back into the exercise. I have done 15 minutes on the cross trainer, and that will probably be it for the day (I did go swimming for 30 mins this morning too) I know that I can't push my body too far after I've been sick, cause it has a tendency to go STUFF YOU, and completely shut down on me, and I'm sick for weeks.

Weekends are usually a write off for me, with darren being home, but i'm going to do 15 on the x-trainer each day, and hopefully by monday i'll be set to go again. 65.5 kilo's i'm coming to get you.

Week 31 - Weigh In

Last week - 70.4
This week - 70.2
Loss - 200g

Not great, but unlike the last couple of weeks it isn't a gain. I knew this weekend was going to be rough, and I was right. Was down to 69.2 on Friday. Again I'm sure it's not all weight weight, more food weight and water retention, so I'm not too concerned.

I'm back to enjoying the exercise again, so it seems. I just have to tell myself to JFDI. The plan was to do 15 mins on the treadmill this morning, but i ended up walking for 30 mins and burning 200 cals. Am aiming for another 2 lots of 15 mins on the cross trainer before this afternoon, as I seem to burn more doing it that way, and hopefully the big boys will be going to the gym tonight and I can get on the bike for 30 mins as well.

We are home for the next few weekends, and don't have any planned visitors, so I'm anticipating much better results in the weigh in's. Well I'm keeping my fingers crossed anyway. Aiming for 500 grams a week, and an hour of exercise a day, even though I'm attempting up to 1.5 hours every weekday this week.

I'm still really struggling with the whole idea of strength training. I just can't bring myself to love it yet. I know being sore is meant to be a good sign, but gee I'm a sook! Going to try and up the cardio, and not worry about focusing on strength just yet. Wuss - yes, but i know i won't stick to it and I'll disappoint myself.


Week 30 - Weigh in

Last week - 69.9
This week - 70.4
GAIN - 500g

Had a bit of a rough week this week. Had my parents down for the weekend, which meant big meals and dessert, and I was sick. So while i don't think this increase is actually weight, and just food, it still sucks seeing it, as I was already bummed out about everything. So much so that i've delayed writing this nearly a whole week cause i was so annoyed.

It's now Friday, and my weight has gone back down to 69.2 which is the lowest it has been ever. We are away for the weekend again though, so we aren't going to have a lot of control over what we are fed, so i guess we will just have to make do, and deal with it.

I've been pretty good on the exercise front this week, I've been doing my time on the treadmill, and x-trainer every day, and I even got on the bike the other night. Hubby and housemate have been going to the gym of a night time, and I must admit that it's been pretty good to be able to have that me time back at night time like I did when hubster was away in Adelaide.

Will hopefully be back on Monday, with a much better weigh in than the last 2 weeks.
