I've had the weekend 'off' and am currently enjoying a cold glass of coke and some BBQ Samboys!
In all honesty I did have a glass of coke last weekend too so my level of dedication (as suspected) has not been perfect.
But here's the good news - in general I'm on track!
The weekend before the 12WBT started I was totally off the rails! Ate embarrassing amounts of all 5 food groups just to be sure I wouldn't miss anything and enjoyed several beers and a few sneaky wines whilst admiring my breasts. I knew they'd be the first to go :-(
Week one I shat it in! Lost all the alcohol bloat and made ALL good choices! And took my first exercise selfie in a while....of course!!
Week 2 I was already starting to have doubts (after consuming 6 jelly beans at 14 bloody calories each) Had to resort to my old habits to pull off a loss on Wednesday morning.
- Shave legs and underarms and get my hair thinned!
- Enjoy some Tue evening 'cardio' as the 'last chance training'!
- Wake up early and wee (attempt a poo) then weigh
- Weigh again and if lower take the number and run!
- If second weight higher try for third times a charm!
Week 3 was all going to plan until we went away for the weekend and I drank my bodyweight in CC & Dry and EB. Gained 200g that week but it was soooo much fun!
Week 4 was over Fathers day and we went away again - this time to Pingelly which always means food food food. Not to mention a sneaky Jacks and Coke with my father in law so I was amazed to still pull off a 500g loss!
And then to this weekend which I gave myself 'off' again to catch up with friends and enjoy some good food and wine. Have no idea how much damage I've done on the scales but I guess it will all catch up with me on Wednesday.
Weekends are fast filling up between now and October so I will need to be extra dedicated to stay on track! I am a million hours behind on study and am having a lock in for the next two weekends so fingers crossed I can learn to study with water and fruit as opposed to my usual coke and chocolate!
Exercise wise most days are quick walks on the treadmill while the kids eat their breakfast but twice a week I've been managing to get out of the house. I've set myself a challenge to increase the number of times I climb the stairs at the dam as each week progresses. So during the week I did my 4 times up the stairs - feeling good! Getting very used to this place...
On weekends I'm working on increasing the km counts in preparation for my 15km walk for PMH in October. So next weekend I have to tackle 13km and I really hope the sun is shining...I've been drenched almost every outside walk the last four weeks! Here's an outdoors 'dry' selfie I managed to sneak in last week :-)
The food has been amazing and the kids are doing really well at eating whatever we eat! Well the boys are - Ems barely eats dinner these days but I'll deal with that when I have the energy. The Beef & Guinness Pie has been the favourite to date - can't wait to make that again.
Alas, the BBQ chips have vanished and I have one mouthful of coke left before it's back to reality and time to undo the weekends damage.
Final stats at Week 4: Down 3.6 yet still managing to enjoy myself!
Will check in again around Week 8 and share a selfie or two ;-)
