I have had a "strange week", I have been a slightly hormonal which I think has a lot to do with it, but I have been having a re-think.
I decided just over a week ago to try and make a few little changes to create new habits, one of them to get up earlier, have breakfast before leaving the house and hopefully use my Vibro machine for 10 minutes, well I'd love to say its been a success but that would be lying lol. The first few days were fine, then the lack of sleep kicked in, and if i need anything i need my sleep.
I tried earlier nights, but after finishing the list of things that I need to do before i finally go to bed, it never happened. So late nights and early mornings didnt mix. Then I found I wasnt enjoying having breakfast. I dont like eating too early and found i was now eating because of the time of day not because i was hungry or because I wanted to. The vibro machine was the only bit i did enjoy, a good shake on a morning to wake you up.
New plan :
Stay in bed longer, it's cosy, it's warm, I get more sleep = Happy Dolittle !
Vibro machine when i get in from work, shaking the inches off is just as effective in the evening as the morning and i have found myself going on a second time inbetween cooking tea = Happy Dolittle !
The lack of sleep, and errational hormones lead to not as good a week as i had wanted, (and the two meals out maybe didnt help hee hee) I had hoped for 1 1/2lb this week to get me to my 3rd silver 7, but only lost 1lb. And as i stood in my meeting feeling slightly disappointed I then started to reflect, as I do, having little conversations in my head. Its not a race, its about losing weight, being healthy and being happy. I am in this for the long term and it didnt take me a year to gain all the weight so why should i expect to lose it in a year. As like many others I am sure, i want a miracle and want to lose 3-4lb a week, but I am also realistic and know this isnt the way to do it, unless i cut off a limb which isnt advisable.
I also tried another Filling & Healthy this week and realised I was eating more than i needed because I could, and then wrongly worked out the points of what i had that day and it was much different to my daily pp allowance.
I have decided to stop changing so many things, and stop trying new things and I am going to follow the plan as I know it works. Counting Pro Points !
On a posiive note I have come out the other side of my "strange" week, with a loss not a gain.
I think thats enough for now, I need my beauty sleep xxxx
I'm glad I not the only one that needs my sleep. . Glad u came out the other side with a loss as I put up 7 1/2 lb do to been on holiday and I lack of motivation when u came back. Love reading ur blog as u write what u are feeling and that we are all normal ♥ good luck this week
