Weigh in

GAIN: 1.5kgs (Oh yes you read it right!)
Current weight: 94.3kgs
Total loss: 16kgs

I'd love to moan about that gain but I can't and I'll tell you why:

1. I was NOT good the week before last and had a loss which blew me away but I new it would eventually catch up with me.

2. This week has also not been good as I had my night out on Friday where I went totally overboard with food and drink plus I was slack on other days.

3. I had only done 1 hydro session compared to the 3 I had been doing in previous weeks.

3. I had a wee upset tummy last week and decided not to go to Hydro but if I'm honest with myself, I could have gone.

4. Yes I have hurt my back (more on that to follow) but rather than sitting on my butt and complaining about it, I should have done something about it and I know that the more I keep moving (walking) the better it feels.

5. This isn't an excuse, I just thought I'd mention it. As I was changing into my togs (Cossie for the Australian's) I noticed that TOM had arrived which was quite suprising because I am usually in huge amounts of pain the day before and first day of TOM.

Right, there are 5 reason why I put on that weight.


After weigh in I met up with my sister (the one in the photo from my last post) who comes to Hydro with me and we went to a Turkish Kebab house for dinner (rather than our usual subway) and had a kebab which was really tasty. We then headed to Hydro and met up with a friends who occasionally comes with us and after 10 minutes of chatting we jumped in the water. I was slightly worried about my back but it had been feeling much better that day so I figured it would be OK for Hydro - - - WRONG! I lasted all of 10 minutes in the water and had to get out as I was in agony. I started out at a lighter pace but even that was hurting so I stepped it down even further (waste of time really as it wasn't doing anything for my fitness) but even that didn't help, so out I hopped. The instructor came over and spoke to me to find out what was going on and told me not to come back for at least a week (oh man!) which bummed me out.

Plan for this week:

1. Count my bloody points as I have let that go (again) and watch portion sizes

2. Drink my water (I have only been managing about 1.5 litres a day)

3. NO DRINKING ALCOHOL (just for this week as it is getting to be a bad habit - looks like I'll be the driver at a 21st we are going to on Saturday)

4. No Lollies (forgot to mention this further up but Andrew bought home heaps of lollies for the 21st and I ate HEAPS while getting them bagged up the other night)

5. WALK!!! If I can't go to hydro that doesn't mean I do nothing, I am going to go walking at lunch time's like I was doing a few weeks ago (I have no idea why I stopped?)

If you can recall I wanted to lose 500g a week to get to my goal of being an 80's girl by my birthday and this week has put me back 3 weeks...argghhh! So I have 6 weeks to get my butt back into it and lose 4.3kgs (.716 grams a week) which is a big ask with my history (200g - 600g average a week) but I'm gonna give it everything I've got.

WOW this is the most I've written about weightloss since I've had this blog.....hahaha.
