Oh my goodness....it's been a whole week since I last posted which is so bad and not my intentions at all...for the 1st time in long time my life got in the way...
The biggest thing from the last 7 days is that I completed the Walk the Walk which is a 13.8 mile walk through London at night in the aid of Breast Cancer. (Donate Here) We did it on Saturday night/Sunday morning and didn't start walking until 11.45pm! We finished at 4.30ish and it was the longest 13 miles of my life! My legs were aching so so much..partly due to the fact that I didn't do any training...but also due to the fact that we were going at quite a quick steady pace. On Sunday I felt like an 80 year old and couldn't stand up straight... I took lots of long hot baths and by Tuesday I was back to normal!
Work has also been quite turbulent the last week and I have really not been enjoying it which has then also lead to quite alot of emotional eating...everything has settled back down now and there are potentially new horizons coming up but not sure yet..
In regards to eating like I said it hasn't been great the last few days but I am back on track now. One thing that did amaze me was that on Thursday and Friday I ate bread and cake....then I got on the scales on Saturday morning and the scales reflected a 5lbs gain... I was like what the hell...that scale is going in totally the wrong direction! I do find it interesting as the week before last I didn't eat bread, pasta, rice or potatoes once and had a visible loss and then last week I did eat those things and I had a significant gain... the good thing is that due to walking 13 miles and then being too sore to get into the kitchen on Sunday I weighed in on Monday at 189lbs (13.7st)
I returned to the gym this morning for the 1st time since last Friday and ran 25 minutes straight with a 5 minute brisk walk warm up and covered 2.2miles which I am very pleased about. I hope to see a loss this week and am seriously back on the bandwagon and feeling great for it...
In regards to future I would love to see myself at bang on 182lbs by the 15th of June which is when I am running 5k with Zest Challenge... so it's just over 4 weeks away and as long as I stay on the straight and narrow...eat well and go to the gym I am pretty sure I can achieve it...
How has everyone else been?
