Hey guys!
Rochelle- totally agree that not doing a fast day was a good idea when such a low mood etc, though kiiiinda went the other way and had a naughty day instead
G was like "Yo, we have this cheese fondue that we bought in Paris that needs eating like 2 weeks ago" so on an act of spontaneity I decided we would have it then and there for lunch. So, like... HexA1+2+3+9+293928?
I had approx half (225g) and ended up being a green day so can use 30g as a HexB too-! LOL
Anyway, regardless of trying to excuse a cheese fondue as SW approved, I enjoyed the hell out of it and dipped mainly red pepper and pickled onions/gherkins but did have about an inch slice of G's french bread too.
Felt so guilty
as planned I went ahead and had an exercise-y day to test out my new Polar FT60 heart rate monitor
I did about 2hrs 10 mins of exercise in the end, a mixture of Exerbeat (wii game that combines martial arts with dance) and 'freestyle' running around and dancing and weight lifting etc in my room (and looads of jumping/star jumps) and the HRM says I've burnt 1880 cal! NICE! That should balance out the fondue a bit!
My chill day was pretty consumed by this though
I didn't do it all in one burst. I read that HRM's can overestimate calories burnt by up to 33% for women, but keeping that in mind I still burnt like a 3rd of a pound or something... aka that huge wad of cheese I had for lunch.
Breakfast was fruit and yoghurt, dinner was wheatabix with hot almond milk (really nice!) and a chopped banana and drizzle of honey on top- have never had 'bix warm before, really liked it
Tomorrow I think I'll go to Camden town and try on some 50's dresses to get an idea of what suits me and not (I'll probably order a cheaper one online once I know what style I'm after) as my dad's 50's themed bday party is like 2 weeks away (and delivery takes ages from some places, eek!) kinda sad as I wanted to be buying a size 12 for it and feel like this past month I've just totally balls'd up with weight loss... The past 6lbs have been really difficult to shake, definitely getting harder, but my will power is screwed too. Realised that on these Dubai shoots I get so low energy that really the only thing I can salvage from it is the slight boost I get from a nice chocolate treat (and when there are so many around---!!) it's like I turn off SW mode and just don't care... I feel so empty doing these shoots for this company, if sugar is all I've got available to make me feel a bit better then I'll take it
not a great habit to be in when I'm so frequently there these days- two more trips before our travels! Bahrain on 27th and Dubai on 4th of April.
Cheeky- trust me, I really suck around all the chocolates too! I couldn't even say how many I ate really as I just didn't register that I was eating them really! But I am glad I didn't load up on bread and hummus etc for the lunches before the shoots at least! Do feel good about that
even though I worked my way through a 500g box of fruit and fibre over the 4 days LOL! But the PF approved of that
Was so cool to see the calories I was burning today, definitely keeps me motivated to burn more/put more effort in. I compared the HRM readings vs Exerbeat's suggestions and Exerbeat really do overestimate
kinda expected as such but yeah! One of the readings I got was 180cal and Exerbeat reckoned that exercise should have burnt 250cal!
