With weight you must be aware and understand there will be ups as well as downs! And the last week i thought i figured it all out, i cracked the code that no one else could have ever cracked, i was losing weight at 0.2 kg a day, and if i just carried on doing all the things i was doing it would carry on forever!
Well, the inevitable came true…… 0.5 kg weight gain, which means today my weight is 117.5 kg.
Super frustrating as i felt i kept my calories to where i needed them to be over the weekend, but i had not been doing the walking which i do in the week. But over the last few days i knew that this would and will happen at points, i just need to keep moving forward.
I think one of the key aspects has been my troublesome sleep cycles, at the moment i am sleeping badly, going to bed super late and waking up early (well early for me). And the quality of my sleep is not great either, this is something i need to work on. I have always been a night owl (something one of my old friends use to call me), and the mornings have never been my best time, so i just need to figure out how to create a routine to give me the needed sleep and recovery for my body.
Being back at work means i get back to the treadmill desk again, which is always a great source of focus and commitment. I had a number of interruptions today, the roof on my office has been leaking, we thought we fixed it over the weekend but alas we did not and had to get a repair done.
Nonetheless it was a 26k step day today and 13 miles. I dont think thats bad for any day, let alone a fragmented one.
And with my DDP Yoga and Peloton complete just before midnight i feel like i have done my dues for today.
Calories In/Out
These have stayed controlled today, I have started to incorporate salads again more into my diet, this was something i slid away from over the past few years and little treats plus bad choices have snuck in.
One thing that was super wonderful today was my directs and i have all made a pact to lose some weight, so there was a few chats on weight and health today on our teams chat, some check ins on weight loss and just general motivation for me. I need it, and the support really does help. We are all learning, all have a concern we have been sat at home far too long, and all want to look better and feel better for the improvements in our health.
I hope tomorrow i get some good rest and more importantly i see the correct trend on the weight line again.
Thanks for listening
