Well, WI didn't go as expected last night. You know there are times you're expecting a STS or maybe a gain because you've been bad, and then there are the other times you expect a loss but not sure what? and then there are the weeks where you work hard and hope for a good loss? Well I went in hoping for 1.5-2lbs last night. I know you shouldn't 'hope' or expect any set weight loss, but I'd been aiming for 2lbs to total 3lbs loss of the 4 I gained over the holidays.
On Thursday last week I had a slice of pizza which took my daily total to 24 syns - my only bad day. And I compensated this by dropping my next days syns to 6.
I've also started my exercise again this week and did 4 45minute sessions since last Tuesday until Monday this week.
I've planned and followed it (minus the pizza issue) and really thought I'd be in for a good week because my tummy is flatter etc.
But WI last night = 1/2lb loss!!!
It's not exercise related - I did no weigth training (all CV) and I don't think I did enough to cause any other affect from it.
I've deliberately tried to eat more because I wasn't eating enough before Christmas started - the only bad thing is I can't eat as much fruit due to IBS and some veggies bother me too. But I'm still eating 3 pieces of fruit on average a day and veggies daily too - just not as many as before.
I'm gutted but I figure I may still be fighting some catch up from Christmas time/NYE time.
This week I am going to try and go back to eating 5 smaller meals again instead of 3 with snacks.
I know it's a loss so it's better than nothing or a STS, and I know it might catch me as badness does next week. I'm just concerned because I have a family meal out Friday, lunch with my friend on Saturday (I only see her once or twice a year as she lives in Sierra Leone) and then a party Saturday. So it's going to be a testing weekend. Luckily both meals out are at italian places so can have green days and plan for this between now and then, and afterwards.
Well, I guess it's weight loss Karma. Some weeks I've had good losses and not deserved them, and yesterday I got a small loss and worked hard lol!
