Yes readers, I skipped a week again. Bad blogger *slaps wrist*
….. *rubs wrist, keeps typing*
Have you ever had one of those days where you’ve got so much on your plate that things start falling off the edge, leaving greasy stains on the tablecloth that you just KNOW are never going to come out? Well, for me that’s been happening for about two weeks. I haven’t had time to even do a full load of laundry in one go. There’s a pile of un-ironed clothing in the corner looking at me very reproachfully.
While I didn’t do a full blog post last week, I did weigh myself on Monday, and found that I’d lost about 4kg. On the official weigh in today though, most of it has come back on. I think that stress has had a large part to do with that. Yo-yoing weight, weird energy spikes and troughs and bad sleep has been par for the course lately.
Weight: 116.2kg
Muscle percentage: 38.1%
Fat percentage: 44.5%
Goal progress: 28.1%
Clearly, if I continue at this rate, I am not going to hit my mini-goal of 50% by my birthday. My question to you all this week – when you are time poor, what methods do you use to eat healthy and exercise? One friend of mine suggested putting exercise into my work day schedule, as in – my work day isn’t over until I’ve done some physical activity. This way, you remove the mental block of 'Oh jeez, I just got home from work, I'm buggered, I don't want to exercise'. Instead, when you get home you've still got stuff to do before you can relax into your evening. What tips and tricks work for you? Do you do ten crunches before bed? Walk around the block after dinner? Precook large portions of healthy food and freeze them for the week?
Since I am still not losing weight at the rate I would like, I am determined to do some kind of exercise every day this week, to see what effect it has. I don’t mean I’m going to go crazy and run ten miles a day (people, let’s get real here), but I am going to do at least 20 minutes of whatever I can fit in, whenever I can fit it in, each day.
