Where has the week gone and what a disappointing week it was.

To date this would have to be my worst week of my 12WBT journey...
It had to be the week I got rewarded with a 2.6kg loss on the scale, received the email from Mish advising I was in the top 15% and realising I'm only 4kg away from achieving my 15kg goal for Round 2.

So what happened...
  • I only went to the gym for 3 hours in total.
There was
  • a few days I didn't eat all 1200 calories
  • a day where I didn't count calories as I knew I was no where near 1200.
  • 2 x 12 hour work days
  • my nephews birthday dinner
  • sleepless nights that made it hell to get up in the morning
  • a training session I had to facilitate Saturday morning so I missed my group workout.
  • a 4 hour socialising shopping event with the Splashfits followed by a visit from the inlaws on Sunday so another day of exercise was avoided.

I think it comes down to organisation I could of worked out in the morning instead of night like my usual routine but I let the excuse of sleepless nights win and because I didn't commit it to my diary it made it easier for the excuse to do that.

But the workouts I did do I kicked arse and felt so good afterwards Friday I ran 5.3km for the first time since Run Melbourne my knee was fantastic...  I did it on the treadmill with a combination for 3 min runs, 2 min walks, sprints up to 13kph & up to 9.0 incline @ 8kph.  This interval style kept it interesting and the time just flew by.  My plan is to complete this again tomorrow.  :)

During my online travels I found a Running group in the Western Suburbs I'm thinking of joining next season to spice up my workouts.  I love the name The Hobos will probably look like one after my runs too...

My Threadless Tee's arrived WooT!! I now have new workout gear, they are a little big I should of order a size or two down but it's so hard when you head tells you that you will be (x) size.  I don't care about the excess fabric I just love that I have new options to wear!!! :)


Even though I'm not looking forward to jumping on the scale tomorrow I need to own it,   I'm thinking of setting a snack alarm in my iPhone so I'm keeping up with calories.  My problem is I end up with a stockpile of 500-600 at dinner which is impossible to use if I am cooking 12WBT style and I know Mish frowns on after dinner snacks...

Non scale wins for the week fitting into my Year 12 graduation formal dress  I'm officially the size I was when I was 17. It's so hard to believe that goal weight for me is probably a figure I was in primary school.  There was also finding & buying my finale dress & wearing heels again...

Have a great week everyone happy weigh in tomorrow....
