Good morning!
Damn.... lol.
Well what can I say.
Every plan I made for yesterday was totally shot down. :/
I woke up with the best intentions. I slept great, but my body was tired.
The plan was originally to hit the gym, then just hang with Wife, but make it a Low Cal Day, as my Sundays are supposed to be.
My legs were hurting and so tired from the run I did Saturday - obviously I was NOT prepared for running, and it was just a spur of the moment thing, so I was aching bad afterwards. Because of this, I decided to NOT go walk, but give my legs a little rest.
Wife was not up for the challenge to go hit the gym, so I decided to simply skip it and go today, Monday. I could use a break too. It's not all on HER shoulders. :)
Then, all hell broke loose. Before you could say "Brunch buffet!", I was sitting at one with a couple of those people that you see way too rarely, and we were having a great time, having brunch. This wasn't in the plans, but I decided to just get back on track ASAP.
And I did. ASAP just wasn't the next few hours. LOL.
End result was that I was too stuffed to have dinner, so at least I did some moderation there. :)
Anyways, long story short, I ate too much. Way too much. It was probably a full Indulgence Day again, though I didn't count at all yesterday. I decided to just get back today.
...
So today I am on track. However, I needed a little SHOCK this morning.
Yesterday, I was so proud to say it's the first time in ages that I go through an Indulgence Day and not reach 80 kilos. Well, today I am 82.5! LOL!
It's a THREE-FRICKIN'-KILO gain since yesterday. I swear, I did NOT eat three kilos of food.
I know a LOT is water retention. I know a lot is still me being punished for having Chinese food Saturday. It's all good. But man, it hurts my pride to see 82.5. I feel like a frickin' slob. Bad. Bad. Bad.
I can tell that I am retaining a LOT of water. I can SEE it. I look and feel bloated and uncomfortable. I'm gassy. I pity those too close to me. I just feel bleh. No energy. No strenght. Damn - this is one of those days to remember next time I want to pig out.
...
So, the solution is pretty obvious: Do something about it.
Well, last night we were both exhausted and went to bed around 7:30PM. The alarm went off at 4:30 this morning, but I just couldn't wake up. I slept all the way to 6AM. I must really have needed sleep.
Waking up this late, I had to decide on either walk or gym. No time for both. I chose to walk, as I'd rather to go the gym with Wife. We're gonna go tomorrow, when it fits our schedules.
So, I walked today, and it was actually really nice to be moving. I like walking. I had no urge to run, though. It feels like I'm dragging a huge bucket of water around with me. Which, essentially, I do today.
I skipped breakfast, to get back into my "8 hour window" of eating. The window is "open" from 11 (lunch) to 7 today. I won't need it open that long though. Today is gonna be more like a 5 hour window, as I will have dinner before I go teach - so I'll be eating at 4PM. Calories are already calculated - I'll end up around 750 calories if I have all the food planned. I'm not sure I will, to be honest. They way I feel, I have NO urge to eat. None. Zip.
Then again, maybe that'll change in a few hours. Right now I am just sleepy and drained of energy. Bleh.
Please someone remind me to not eat like this again. LOL. Lesson learned. At least for a week or two. :)
...
So... this is the bad part of my journal today. Revealing my stats from yesterday. Sadly, I can't post the picture - I'm writing from work - but I can tell you what they said. It's a mess. I had NO real exercise yesterday, but I did do some walking (mostly back and forth to the buffet! hey - it all counts, right?). I did do some movement, but nothing compared to a normal day in my life.
Calories burned: 2139 (goal: 2800) Very Active Minutes: 10 (goal: 30) Distance: 3.51 kilometers (goal 8.00) Steps: 4527 (goal 10000)
I did not meet ANY goals. Not even close. Boo.
This is something that I won't allow to happen for a while. I can't have this happening. I need to do better - MUCH BETTER - than that.
...
So, today - tired or not - I will do better. I will reach every single goal. One is already reached. I'm past 30 very active minutes. I'm at 52, and I expect it to climb to at least 60. I will reach my steps and distance goal too, and I WILL burn over 2800 calories today. This is a MUST and a minimum requirement. I gotta fix this.
...
Now, I know I sound like I am going totally overboard because I gained weight over the weekend. You might be right. However, I feel that I need to focus and sharpen the knife a bit after such a slobby day yesterday. I need to put my mind in the right place.
Having had two days like these makes it easy for me to sneak into a 3rd day, then a 4th, etc. You get the point.
It's essential to be on track today, and do good. It really matters to me, as I would like to reach a new low again Saturday. This is a challenge, as I have quite a lot of extra weight to drop for it now. Damn Sunday! :) Still, even if I had done great Sunday, I might have gained water weight still from Saturday's chinese food. Who knows.
So, focus is on doing well today and onwards. That's all I can do anyways.
Today will more or less be a Low Cal Day. Not by choice, really, but it's simply how it looks like it'll turn out. That's fine. It'll make me feel great.
...
Today, I'm thankful for: - Full focus. - A LONG night's sleep. I slept almost 10 hours! - Teaching weight loss tonight. - Morning coffee at work. - Wife.
Happy Monday! Let's go drop some lbs! Life is good!
