Wake-up, Wee, Weigh-in WED-NES-DAY
Or as I like to say it in my mind "wuh wuh wuh wuh" (say it really quick and it works). It makes me chuckle at least.
The Stats:
Last wks weight: 74.6
This wks weight: 74.1
Weekly loss: 500 grams
Percentage loss: 0.7%
Starting weight: 91.9
Total weight loss: 17.8
Percentage weight loss: 19.4%
How am I feeling?
Pretty good. I've had a hell of a week, with what I consider to be "excuses outside of my control". Oh gosh I hope I'm labelling my excuses right. But it's a life changing event, so surely that's a big one? I moved house!! Apparently that's in the top five most stressful situations a person can experience. And I'm beginning to understand why. My outside of work time over the last week was consumed as follows:
Last Wednesday night - inspecting open houses, then back to work to do overtime.
Thursday - working late, then filling out application for rental property
Friday - application was approved, dinner with my partner's parents
All day Sat & Sun - lease signing then car trips back and forth, back and forth moving belongings from one house to another. Finished up at 11pm both nights....... that was fun!
Monday - working late, home to find no hot water in new place - then got plumber out at around 9pm. Froze to death, had a burning hot shower then bed
Tuesday - unpacking and setting up the kitchen, and completing a condition report
And today - got a whole bunch of work dumped on me at 4pm that needed to be finished by 8am tomorrow. So stayed back at work to get that done.
Wow. I feel exhausted just typing this!! I feel like I'm "Losing Grip", as that fantastic Avril Lavigne song pops into my head.
Ahhh, I'll be right. But that is why I feel like I'm in a whirlwind of excuses outside of my control. Life has been very hectic, to say the least. Anyway, that all aside, I feel impressed with myself for still losing 500 grams amongst all this mayhem. I stayed true to the cause and tried my best to choose the right meals where I could. I didn't have the capacity to fit in exercise and on the weekend things were so crazy that our only option was to get take away, but I still watched my food 80% of the time. I guess it just feels great to know that even with all of that going on, you can still control your food for most of your meals and have a positive impact on your weight loss (or maintenance if that's the point you're up to).
Here's to next weeks weigh in. I have a feeling this week is going to be just as hectic as the last, with more working late in preparation for end of financial year, plenty more unpacking to do, and a wedding to attend this Saturday. Either way, I have this week's results to reflect on and know that I can still do well and keep on the 12wbt road.
Until next time, nightie night.
