Loss: +1 1/4lbs
To date: -4 3/4lbs
I knew that would happen. It was too good a weight loss last week for me to sustain. I would have loved to have made it to a half a stone loss this week but I have taken one step back instead.
I'm not giving up though. This week I am upping my exercise by walking the 2 miles to work, and back, and returning to FitSteps now I am almost 100% recovered from my cold.
I know I am my own worst enemy. I could have got to that half a stone this week if I had put a little more effort in, if I hadn't have had that Dominos stuffed crust pizza or Nando's beanie pitta with chips. Or the chocolate. However as you will know if you have read my previous posts, I like my food and I am not giving it up completely!
This is going to be a long journey, especially with winter fast approaching. Comfort food will be shouting over the salads and takeaways will be more and more temping as the temperature and my energy and willpower levels drop.
Willpower is the hardest thing for me. If I want chocolate I will have to have chocolate. It will be the only thing on my mind regardless of what I do to try to let the craving pass. I can read a book and not actually read a page because I am thinking about chocolate. I can down a glass of water and still want chocolate. I can have something else sweet but I will still want chocolate. Go for a walk, have a nap, play bejewelled and I will still want chocolate. I had half a tootsie roll because I wanted chocolate and there was none in the house. I still wanted chocolate. So if I want chocolate I will have it, but I will have a treat sized bar instead and pray my willpower will stop me from having another from the pack.
Hopefully next week I will be back on track...
