A week passed since I restarted the weight loss journey . Here's a report of how it went. To summarize, it went pretty good. There are still a lot of issues I need to work on and a lot of room for improvement . Lets have a breakdown of the week that went by and see what was good , what was bad and what was ugly. 😲
First the good part.
I was within my calorie goal throughout the week. Even on days I didn't workout. Usually I end up in red on those days. But this week I managed to stay in my limit of 1400cals. Speaking of workouts, In last 10 days I did 5 workouts burning on an average of 250 cals per workout! Woot!😀💪. I ran on 2 days, one day of stationary cycling, one day of walking and one bodyweight workout. Yeah! I'm mixing it up baby! The scale also moved in the right direction finally! Todays weight was 223.4 lbs . Which means I am down by 1.6 lbs this week! 🙌 yay.
Moving to the bad part. Firstly my major kryptonite is boredom eating. I succumbed to this twice this week and ate more than necessary. Both the times I knew I was full, yet I ignored the cues and overate. I really need to learn to stop when I am full. There were also a couple of times when I craved sweet and caved. Ate some chocolate, leftover ice cream ...But the good thing is this happened only twice . Today after lunch when I was craving something sweet I ate some grapes instead of junk! Score for me! Mostly, I noticed that I have been eating consciously this week and there have been less slip ups than the past. Now I just need to keep this momentum going . The next on my list is to make sure I workout 5 days a week. And include 2 strengthening routines too.
Overall I would give myself a B+ for my efforts this week. I am still a work in progress. Hopefully my report will be even better for the next week. ✌
Sunday happens to be my real test. I have a party to attend to and I need to make sure I dont just let go of myself and end up overeating. Its all about mind control.
I'll be back soon
Happy weekend !
