Weigh In Day

-
Today was "weigh-in". My result was 75.7kgs. 500 grams up from last Wednesday unfortunately. I also worked out that I have been stuck in between 75.0 and 77.0 kgs for 11 weeks now. 11 weeks!!!!!!! It's doing my head in a little bit. I can't drop below that 75kg mark. I was so close last week at 75.2, but instead this week I put on weight rather than dropping below. That's 3,500 calories I apparently went over what I should have. Ugh!!!! So frustrating. And to top it all off I have a super busy month minimising my exercise I get in when I work late, so leaving it pretty hard for me to find the time to burn those calories and just blast under that 75kg mark.

Anyway, never mind. I'm doing the best I can with what I've got. I'm eating at 1,200 each day - taking my pre-prepared lunch to work. I just have to stick to that each day and I'll slowly creep under that point.

Stay tuned..............

      Thanks Ems. Will do. I've got to learn how to stick with it when I'm really busy. That's when I lose my focus.

Week 4 Mini Milestone - Mt Coot-tha Kokoda Track

Image
Yesterday marked the last day of week four of the 12wbt. And per Michelle's instructions, we were to take on a mini-milestone challenge. The Queensland 12wbt crew had quite alot of events planned around Brissy for me to choose from, or I could choose to just stick with Mish's planned programs per the site. I thought I better go to an organised event so I pushed myself to the extreme. I opted for the Mt Coot-tha Kokoda Track walk/jog. I had absolutely no idea what I was in for, apart from the fact that Mt Cootha is (stating the obvious).... A MOUNTAIN!! And it was named after the official Kokoda Trail, so that says something. I started the morning following my gps there, getting nice and lost on the way, only to turn up right at 7am - when everyone was getting the run down from the trainers and jogging to begin the warm up. I was slightly embarrassed to turn up late, but then again, at least I didn't give up when I got lost and just drive home and go back to bed. The o

Disclaimer: I apologise in advance for the lack of care in wording the below post. It's not great grammar or writing that really flows at all. I was just feeling strongly and had to get my thoughts down as quickly as they came to me. Well I feel like I have certainly left myself behind of the pack this round. This is my 2nd round, and now that wk 6 is open I feel sick to the stomach. I don't actually feel like I've really started this round. I don't know what has happened. The first two weeks I was having my last two wks at my job after resigning - so life was mayhem burning the midnight oil to tie up all of my loose ends. I had a wk off to just catch up on my personal life that had been neglected due to a job that consumed my life. Then wks 4 & 5 of the program have been the first two weeks in a new job. And all these sound like big time excuses, but my life has been so unsettled for all of this time. I've been so busy running through to-do lists -

And I'm Back in the Game

So today's weigh in didn't go too well. I didn't lose anything! On an upside I didn't gain anything either. So I'm still at a 7.4kg loss. Which is still pretty impressive. But to go from losing on average 1kg a week to nothing. Something was wrong. So I followed Mish's advice and did my "audit" of the week gone. I can pin point my non-loss quite easily. It is a combination of the following: I exercised once since the last weigh in - bootcamp. That is it. Not good! Friday night - a shitload of alcohol was drunk and a pizza for dinner - blew my calories way out. The only reason I got away with drinking last time is because I didnt eat dinner. So it is obvious now what works and what doesnt work. Last night - I binged on crap and blew my calories way out. It was pretty damn obvious when I put it down like that. I did some bad things this week. I let my busy-ness at work take me off focus from my goals. Anyway, I know I shouldn't of done those th
