DAY 14 Blog

DAILY UPDATE:
Back on track!

MOOD:
Feeling pretty good, although notice that I don't feel as great after so much rich food. Had to seriously motivate myself to get my last weight session in as it was the LAST thing I felt like doing. This is where I suppose I've learnt that even though you may not feel like it sometimes you just need to suck it up and DO IT ANYWAY!

FOOD: Pretty good, had to force myself to get back on track as it would have been easy to let the treats continue. After having chocolate and treats the night before I just craved more although had to keep reminding myself I'd had enough!!!!

TRAINING: WEIGHTS - As I mentioned had to force myself to do these as I REALLY didnt' feel like it but didn't want to miss a session for the week. Turned out to be a good session, not one of my best but good.

RPM - Now this was an effort!!! I'd planned to go to the new release in the afternoon although all day I just wanted to find a way not to go. Had actually decided not to go and then at the last minute realised I'd actually feel better for it and went anyway. It was a fantastic class and I LOVE the new release!!! Came home and felt great and finished of with a Pepsi Max in the spa!!! Felt so much better for it rather than indulging in more drinks and treats and feeling very averge come Monday morning.

WATER: Most probably not enough.

DRINKS: None

TREATS: 1 x Cappa & 1 x Skinny Cow Ice-cream

Even though my weekend hasn't been ideal I am still pretty happy that I managed to get myself back on track and didn't go too overboard.

WEEKLY RAPUP:
Overall a good week. Not as good as my first as a few extras started creeping in and the treat meal turned into a few more treats than planned.
Did the following Training:
4 x Weights (yehaa!)
1 x 55 min Jog/Hill walk
1 x 10km Run
1 x Interval Session
1 x Hill Powerwalk
3 x RPM

I'm motivated to get my nutrition back on track this week and really keep it clean and simple again. I'm tempted to try and go strict but it makes more sense to get good at just being CONSISTENT first.

I hope everyones week is off to a great start!

Cheers, Hilds

Hi Kate,

Yep, I take measurments as for me they are a far better guide than the scale and I know what my measurments are when I'm feeling my best.

The main goal of my 4 Week Challenge was to maintain some consistency and not let my treats go overboard plus I wanted to get back into including a regular 4 x weight sessions.

These were my general weekly goals.
- Limit treats to one small treat meal each week and one extra coffee out each week.
- No more than 4 drinks each week.
- 4 x Weight training sessions a week.
- Include 4l of water per day.

So far I'm going pretty good, a couple extra cappa's have slipped in but in general have been really consistent.

I did an update the other day with progress and so far I've lost 4cm and just under a kilo (which is HUGE for me).

I'm just going to keep going for the next 2 weeks to get back into some good habits and stop the treats from becoming too regular. I'm not stressed if I reach a particular weight or measurments as I'm feeling ok now but just wanted to get back to basics for a while. I'll most probab ly take some pics at the end of 4 weeks just to see where I'm at although the main thing is to feel good and just keep being consistent.
