Firstly...yes it's snowing here...I don't mind the snow I just don't like the chaos it brings. We got to leave work early and I left at 12.30pm...my normal 20 minute journey took me..wait for it.... 2 and a half hours.....!!!!
As much as I know I shouldn't have...I jumped on the scales this morning. Well wasn't that a mistake. I am the same weight that I was at the start of the week... I just don't understand it..at all. Apart from Wednesday night I have been eating really really well and pointing EVERYTHING..I have been keeping a strict eye on my portion sizes and haven't been snacking in between meals apart from on fruit...I have had porridge every morning and every lunch I have been having a soup with a bread roll, my evening meals have been all freshly cooked and healthy, anything like pasta and rice I have halved my portion and instead had extra of the 0 point food like veg and I have only had 2.5 glasses of wine in the past 5 days. I have gone to the gym 3 times this week and done over 90 minutes of cardio...I just don't understand.
One thing I think it could possibly be is the bread I am eating at lunch...but that is just a home made small bread roll... no bigger than what you would normally buy in a shop...I don't know if the scales are reflecting my Wednesday indulgence...I just really don't know and to be honest I find it really disheartening as I thought I was doing pretty damn well and was defo going to see a movement on the scales.
BUT...I mustn't get disheartened and mustn't throw in the towel..I am in a really good place at the moment gym wise and loving it...even a bit disappointed that the snow means I can't get to the gym...not tonight at least anyway...maybe tomorrow though. It will happen I will get there (weight loss not the gym!)...from now on I think I will bring my bread intake down and also I am going to try and push my lunch a little later and eat at 1 rather than 12 as it should mean that I won't snack so much even though my snacking is just on fruit... I have had ALOT of fruit this week and I know some is good for you but it still does contain alot of sugar...so that might have something to do with it. Just desperate to get back to 14stone so I can start getting into new fat loss!!! I'm going to do all I can to get out of 14stone by January ..and here is also a stark lesson for me (one I have been taught a few times) that my body puts on weight really quickly and does seem to hold on to it quite hard... I know everybody else seems to have lost their Xmas weight and here am I still struggling!!!
I'm convinced the scale doesn't show til a week has passed. That's what I like to believe at least... Just keep doing the amazing things you have been and believe in your good choices. Just one small bread roll can't be the culprit!
ReplyDeleteI agree. I've noticed my weight trends are only reflected truly every fortnight. (but I still weigh myself every day and get disheartened when they dont go down IMMEDIATELY!
ReplyDeleteStick to it!

My body hold on to weight hard too, and I know if I had any indulges, even if I'd been really good the other days, it would definitely show up on the scales! I also can't drink alcohol: empty calories! Additionally I watch my fruit intake, as much as people harp on about it being 'natural', it is still sugar and I do believe it can be over done, veggies are much better for you, maybe snack on carrot sticks? Celery and houmous?
