Day 7 - End of the Week!

Well had a late start this morning (surprise surprise, it's Sunday!) but I ate a good breakfast. It's also a jumpstart day, so I can have a few more calories. I don't know how that will affect weigh in tomorrow though! However, I have no intention of eating as much as I did on Wednesday, I think I went too far in that.

Yesterday I found some small tomatoes in my fridge that had been there a bit too long (they're like cherry tomatoes in size, but are some other variety). I was disappointed because they're nice, sweet ones. However, they hadn't gone mouldy or anything, they were just a wee bit shrivelled. So I decided to make semi-dried tomatoes. Today I will eat them and see how they are ;) I also have an avocado to eat... which might be nice with some of those toms mixed in...hmmm...

Not sure how exercise will go today, again because I have housework to do and kids to look after. Although if I was particularly motivated I could take the kids for a walk in the forest! I'll see how it goes.

Well it's 2:10 and I'm feeling sort of down... I think it's a case of being overwhelmed by all the stuff I have to do, and just seeing no concrete end in sight (this isn't just weight loss... weight loss is just a part of my life). I really need to set a concrete plan in motion and just get stuck into it! No more procrastination!! I know I am progressing along my goal, but I feel as if it's three steps forward and two backwards. Eventually I stop getting the three steps forward and start taking only one forward for every I take back! Unfortunately, this means I have lots of catch up to do ;)
So... I'm going to start by really focussing on timetabling my day better (need a bit of leeway, but too much leeway leads me astray!) Anyway, this has nothing to do with my BodySculpt Challenge! It's just a part of life challenge for me ;)

It's now 6:41, and things are all okay. Had avocado with the dried tomatoes for a snack, and it's nearly meal time (okay, bit late but not bad). I just have to resist the potato I'm cooking for the kids! I may have a small mouthful, but that'll be it. Apart from that it will be chicken with broccoli for me.

Ooh well I had a couple more pieces of potato than I should have... maybe the equivalent of a whole potato (not a big one). Still... it was a starchy veg that I did NOT need! Hopefully it won't affect my weigh in tomorrow much.

I do think that this week has been a wee bit about finetuning, and getting used to the program. Overall, I think I've done fairly well, but definitely not 100%, especially with the EPOC. On the weekend I also failed the walking (I did spend some time on my feet, for sure, but not sure if I got to 10k or not...) However, I was really good in that respect most of the week. However, it's 70% food, so I REALLY need to get that part of the equation down pat. I need to focus on timing more, ensuring I get my first meal at 7.30 so I can get all my meals in, and watching portion sizes.

However, I am very proud of the fact that for the most part I resisted temptation very well. For me, that's always been quite a struggle in the past! I think I've done well for the most part in avoiding starch and carbs. The only issue was Friday when I had a burger (but no fries!), and today when I had some potato. Wednesday also wasn't too great, but I got past that. Whether I lose or not I don't know, but I'm hoping for at least some reduction in bodyfat, and some loss of cms. However, as I didn't formally measure myself it's hard to tell ;)

Now, time to get my kids into bed, as it's 9.00 and they've got swimming carnival tomorrow (bad day for it as it's going to be chilly!!).

Finished day with a cup of spiced tea (with splenda) and a few macadamias, cause it's jumpstart day!
