So, it’s Wednesday again (how did that happen?!), and that means it’s time for another weigh in.
Despite my plans to treat myself on Saturday, I actually ended up doing pretty well this weekend, mostly because I was so buy preparing for curry night I didn’t have the chance to eat anything else that day! In the end, I was only 10 calories over my daily limit despite the glasses of wine.
My weight has fluctuated a lot since last week, but it hasn’t gone back up to my starting weight at any point, which is good. Last week, I was 0.5 kg down from when I started… this week I’m at roughly the same, although I did record a weight that was 1 kg down from original weight. Only on one day though.
My body fat in percent also fluctuates quite a bit, but it’s only gone above last week’s measurement of 28.5% once. This morning’s result was 27.8%, down 0.7% on last week and 2.2% on my starting percentage. Here’s the graph from MyFitnessPal to show you how much it fluctuates. It’s generally around the 28% mark though… well, apart from that one day where it shot waaay up to 29%!
After getting stuck at 78 cm for what felt like years, my waistline measurement finally crept down by another half centimetre (yes, I count the halves!) and has been 77.5 cm for the last three mornings in a row. I did measure 77 cm once, but the next day it had gone back up again.
My plan for this week was to try and actually achieve my goal of 30 minutes exercise on 5 days a week. Sadly, this hasn’t happened once so far… since last Wednesday, the most I’ve managed is 15 minutes. It’s just too hot to exercise! And this week I also have far too much to do.
On the calories front, I’ve been doing really well! Admittedly, I was 375 above my limit on Friday, but apart from that I’ve been sticking to it pretty well. The last couple of days I’ve felt really hungry and just wanted to eat everything in sight. On Monday I was good and managed to restrict myself to a single serving of dark chocolate peanut M&Ms and a small handfull of spelt snack things from the organic supermarket, but yesterday U was unable to resist the cheesy crisps and eded up around 300 calories over my daily limit. To compensate, I forced myself to jog on the spot past the point where I would normally have given up and managed to make it to a whole 5 minutes on both days. Quite an achievement for me! Not that it helped much… 5 minutes of jogging in place burns a mere 42 calories. *Sigh*
I’m not sure how well I’ll be able to keep up with the healthy eating thing while I’m in England, but I’ll do my best. We’ll see how well I fared in two weeks time…
Wish me luck!
Confuzzledom 
Don’t fool yourself. You know exactly what will happen as soon as you get home. I’m off to Germany next week, and the same thing is gonna happen to me. Love the irony… Lol.
The aim of the game is: damage control. Good luck 🙂
LOL, I wondered who would be the first to spoil my illusions 😉 OF COURSE I’m going to eat everything in sight next week… I can practically taste the chip-shop curry sauce already 😉
And I the Zwetschgenknödel and the Käsekuchen and the Rieseneisbecher 😉
Uh-oh. Going home is the worst!
And at least you have the IDEA of exercise in your head. Most days I can’t even manage that.
If only the idea was enough to keep me fit 😀
I agree! It’s too hot to exercise!
Haha, I have just come back from England and everything I lost last week I’ve put straight back on (despite my one run!) Oh well, start again! Glad to see you’re still going strong, but doubly glad to see you’re planning to make the most of England too – eat it all! It really is far too hot to exercise at the moment!
Haha, yes… I shall eat ALL the foods. After Sunday anyway… gotta fit in my dress 😉
Good luck on sticking to it in England! I’ve been a disaster so far! Maltesers, Wispas, bacon, double helpings of most meals and desserts, Pizza Express – the list goes on!
mmm, bacon! Not too bothered about Maltesers… you can get them here. But I definitely treated myself to a Wispa AND a Twirl in Ireland 😉
Bad girl 😉
