Can't believe I didn't put it here, I put it everywhere else! 2 off this week which I'm really pleased with. Weekends are an issue for me but probably always will be, I definitely eat more/too much so I have decided to off set that with exercise. So far today I have done my arm exercises (bridesmaid dress will expose arms and shoulders although with halter neck so have started daily arm exercise regime) and then I walked the dog in the cold/wind/rain/mud/sand/sleet for about an hour. I have just changed out of the soggy clothes, thawed out and had my lunch. This afternoon I plan to do my "active" step workout and more arms this evening. Same again tomorrow hopefully. I'm hoping that will address any over indulgence with alcohol and food although I'll try to keep that under control too. Have a great weekend!
Well done on the 2lbs KB! And on the exercise too
I don't see a problem with the strategy you've come up with to offset the extra food/alcohol with exercise....in fact, it sounds like a sustainable, rational plan to me.
I have a friend who I see as my healthy lifestyle role model. She's a size 8/10, eats healthily during the week, goes to the gym, walks to work (do you hate her yet?
) She can even open a bag of minstrels, and just take 3-4 out, leaving the rest of the bag for another day....
Anyway, she does all that healthy stuff, but she always has a pizza or a curry at the weekend, and she always drinks wine on Saturdays and Sundays (and plenty of vodka if we go out together)....but she never gains weight because she's got it under control.
Sounds like you're doing the same kind of thing, except that you're losing weight too.
It's all about making whatever plan we're doing fit into our lifestyle isn't it? Otherwise it's never going to work - or if it does, we'll just gain it all back when we go back to our normal ways!
Well that's my ramble over with!
Have a great week!
