So I’m a day late with my weight loss diary (again…) but I am here and ready to confess. It was not a good week! I’ve been all over the place. I started the week off with good intentions and was eating lots of speed food, drinking lots of water, getting lots of walking back in and keeping completely within my daily syns, not even going near the higher end.
Then things went to pot and so did my eating and walking. Jack got poorly on Thursday night and spent Thursday night until Monday afternoon pretty much attached to me. This, of course, meant no school run so no walking to get in and since I didn’t have much time or room to cook with a four year old hanging off me, eating habits also went out of the window as Steve was working all weekend. I barely slept for the majority of the weekend so I wanted every chocolate thing in sight and plenty of caffeine. Since I’ve given up fizzy drinks except for when we go out for a meal, I was really struggling.
This week I had a gain. This gain was 1.5lb, quite a big gain for me so I am eager to get it straight back off again. This week I have been eating a lot better, I’m back to walking lots again and I’ve got so much more planned. We went out for a prearranged lunch today but I am getting straight back on plan this evening and I’m looking forward to weighing in next week.
I’m hoping with my good eating, all my walking, the fact I’m joining the newly started village running club on Sunday and the fact I also spent the day at Go Ape yesterday help me to come out with a good loss. I’m even preparing my breakfasts the night before – why did no one force me to have overnight oats before? They’re so yummy. Totally hoping to turn this around for next week. Wish me luck!
I should really join a running club to push myself to run more. I’m sure you’ll get the 1.5 pounds off next week! x
I think sometimes a gain is a good thing because it makes you focused x
Don’t beat yourself up about it, you can get back on track next week!
Losing weight can be so so difficult. Even with the best intentions and sometimes when we do everything right it till goes against us. I am stalled at the moment with my weight loss. Keep at it You can do it! Angela from Daysinbed
It is so difficult to lose weight but even though you put on 1.5 lb I still think you are doing well and Go Ape is so much fun!
Loosing weight is so difficult! It’s good you’ve accepted the gain and moved on, it’s so easy to carry on eating the “wrong” things again after a blip. Good luck at your next weigh in
Good luck for the week ahead, I’m sure you will get it off with no problem!
Aw these things happen – no use worrying about it just pick yourself up and get on with the next week as you are 🙂 x
Don’t beat yourself up – A weekend of a sick child attached to you is no fun at all. I completely agree about overnight oats though – Aren;t they brilliant and so tasty!
I think the pre-planned meals will make a big difference. I like overnight oats too!
weldone for keep on trying i have no get up and go at all and love food way to much so give in x
It’s not easy, is it. Today was weigh in day for me too – I’ve put on 1 lb this week just from eating ALL of the cheese, wine and bread. I’ve no one to blame but myself. Back on the straight and narrow now – just returned from a 21.1 mile cycle ride.
Ive been trying to hard to eat healthy and put weight on last week! I just try not to beat myself up about it x
Losing weight is hard work. So easy to put on but hard to lose. Well done on your progress so far.
Don’t be to hard on yourself lovely. That isn’t a big gain at all and I am sure you can lose it again
Well done on your progress! I know how hard it can be to lose weight so don’t beat yourself up about the gain! 🙂
The running should make a difference, good luck with the weight loss.
Fingers crossed it comes back off again without too much trouble x
sure it is just a blip and good for you for joining a running club
Don’t worry about a small gain, you see to be able to refocus yourself really well. YOU CAN DO IT xxx
Oh Go Ape is so much fun! I had a really great day out there, it’s such a unique experience. Overnight oats really saved breakfast for me, I’m a pain for not bothering but the overnight oats are super convenient. x
Dont let a small speedbump stop you! Thats all it is a small speedbump!
