So happy to be below 70kg again, but let's see if I can make this stick for next week. This week has gone ok, but I only did 2 out of the 3 planned YouTube workouts so will see if I can manage another over the weekend. Weather forecast is great so I'm sure we'll visit one to two parks nearby. This morning I did: growwithjo - 3 MILE FAST Walking to Lose Belly Fat (burns 600 calories!)
The fact that 600 calories is on the title of the video is a bit of a joke though and I feel sorry for people who believe it.
Haven't managed to meet my goal of 7,500 steps per day every day - now tracking on Google Fit - but that's ok. I've done plenty of walking and it will improve next week and eventually I'll try to get it up to 10,000 a day. Water intake was better this week. I resisted having cheese topped rolls with hubby for lunch this week and stuck with my salads. Next week might be baked sweet potato with avocado for lunches if I can find them at Aldi.
Hubby's weight is the same as last week because he had those cheese topped rolls twice this week for lunch - laden with strong cheddar cheese (as if it needed more cheese). Then he also had alcohol, cheese and crackers, chocolate and peanuts on various occasions when I didn't indulge. Can be difficult living with a serial snacker, but I've just told myself that I'll have some of those things over the weekend. I'm hoping that he will make adjustments himself without me saying anything.
I did, however, have some peanuts, fig roll (which I love) and even an ice-cream this week - all within my calorie limits. Also finally bought a big 80 bag box of rooibos, which is labelled Redbush here. I seem to get 3 mugs out of a teabag so that's great! It's my go to when I feel like having 'something'. Gives me something to lift to my mouth while still getting in more water with the other added benefits.
We shall see whether I can keep below my 1800 calorie target for the week, but I will do my best. A bit of planning makes all the difference, but then making adjustments for that marked down crème brûlée every now and then can and will be accommodated for because YOLO!
The time will pass regardless so you may as well do those little bits every day that will get you to a better, stronger, leaner, healthier you in the future. But - love the journey and love yourself today! Do it for you and no-one else. You are worth it!!! There are so many examples of folks on this App who live by this and I thank you ALL for giving me the inspiration to keep going.
Have a great weekend everyone!
