Week 2 - OVERVIEW

Week 2

Okay, So week 2 is done and dusted. It was a pretty mundane week really. The highlight of my week was the face that the new Gilmore Girls episodes came out!! I joined a gym but only managed to go once, this week I will have to up that. I have felt like i have eaten healthy, compared to what i use to eat, which is good. I have thought about what I am eating and restrained myself. There was one night where we went and got fish and chips for tea, so I opted for grilled fish and I only had a small amount of chips. I made myself stop eating them because I knew they were bad for me. I also did have some chocolate one day, but same... instead of eating the whole block, I managed to just have a small amount (There is still some in the fridge). I don't want to not eat these things, because that would just set me up for failure. It's more about portion control and restraining myself I guess. This week my goals will be on moving more and actually hitting the gym :)

GOALS - Summary

So me week 2 goals were:

Drink Only Water ✔

Drank at least 2L a day. No soft drink, Juice or coffee has touched my lips.

Keep A Food Diary ✔

Still writing everything down. Makes me think twice before i eat something.. do I really want to write that down. Think it is helping me keep my calories at a good level.

Join A Gym ✔

So I went in and singed up to rejoin my gym on Tuesday. Unfortunately I only managed to go once, Last night (Sunday). Although feeling good about going more often. 

70,000 Steps ✖

So I didn't quite reach the 70,000 Step mark. A few sleepless nights and binge watching Gilmore Girls only got me to 59,388 Steps. I find it hard to go out walking on days I have both kids as the older one just wants to run away. Hopefully going to the gym will help me reach this goal next week :)

Calorie Difference of -7,000 ✔

Calories In: approx 7,697

Calories Out: approx 24,621

Difference: -16,924

Loss of 1kg or more ✔

So last Monday I weighed 126.5kg. This morning i weighed 125.3kg. Thats a weekly loss of 1.2kg and a total loss of 5.1kg. 

Week 2 Goals

Ok, as week 2 starts I need to see what my goals are, last week was a major focus on healthy eating. I am going to keep those goals, but also going to add in some exercise goals as well. So here goes

Weekly Goals 

• Drink Only Water
• Keep A Food Diary
• Join A Gym
• 70,000 Steps
• Calorie Difference of -7,000
• Loss of 1kg or more

Okay, wish me luck :)

Week One Overview

Week 1 Overview

So back in my first post my goals were:

Join a gym 

Havent done this yet, but it is on todays to do list.

Keep a food diary ✔

This I  have achieved. I have written down everything that i have eaten in the past week, and what time I ate it.

Drink only Water (no coffee, no soft drink) ✔

I have not had a single mouthful of juice, coffee or soft drink, and it wasn't actually that hard to do at all. Think I will keep this goal again for next week.

Monitor Journy ✔

I have been recording my daily weight and steps. And then later in the week my calorie intake. And have filled out a journal on here each day :)

Have Fun ✔

Playing Munzee last night was good! Christmas Parade was good. Have been rewatching Gilmore Girls in anticipation for next weeks revival.. always good :)




On Day 5 I also added...

-1,000 calories a day ✔

For the 3 days that I have been calorie counting i have achieved this, so i count that as a win.

STATS

Weekly Steps: 48, 666

Weekly Calorie Difference (Day 5,6,7): -6, 948

Weekly Weight Loss: 3.6kg

So my step count is not really near what I thought it would be but not too bad considering I haven't added exercise into my goals yet (except for one day). My aim for the week was to have a calorie Difference of more than -7,000 so I am pretty sure that that would have been achieve since I ate really healthy the first 4 days of the week and I pretty much got it in 3 days. I am happy with the 3.6kg weight loss, as it was week 1 a lot of that would have been water weight. My overall goal is to lose at least 1kg a week. So overall I would consider this week a success.

Day 7

Day 7

20/11/16

Sundays are normally fun days. Today was not quite so fun, but was full on. The three year old had an attitude all day, I think he woke up on the wrong side of the bed!! He just had so much energy (if only I had half as much as him) and was running around like crazy going Mum, Mum, Mum. Liam on the other hand must have had pains because he just wouldn't settle, and then every time he was nearly asleep Ryan would scream something loudly and frighten him and the process had to start all over again... by the time 9pm rolled around I was so glad to see Ryan's bedtime..

Also didn't help that Nick, the finance, had been out of the house all day at basketball, then came home buggered and lied down!! I just wanted to shout I am buggered too, get your arse up! But I am the kind of person that just bottle in my feeling and dose what needs to be done (until I reach boiling point and explode.. and thats always interesting). I understand that he had done 7 games of basketball, but I have been up all night, not sleeping, chasing after little people.. not having a moment to myself. Sometimes I don't know which is worse. At least he is doing something for him, and something he loves. He can always say no, you can NEVER say no to being a parent. Although I will admit, after  about an hour he perked up and Dad mode kicked back in and he started to help out. And once Ryan was in bed asleep I snuck out of the house for an hour and had some me time.. even though it was 10pm at night and dark.. but a good time to Munzee.

What is Munzee.. 

well it's fun! It is a kind of world wide scavenger hunt kind of game. You go outside with your smart phone and find QR codes to scan. QR codes have different icons attached to them and can be worth different points. The aim of the game is to get outside and get moving, as well as get as many points as you can. It's a never ending game because people are forever 'growing the map' and adding more qr codes to areas. You can to. It's free to play, although if you get addicted you can end up spending real money to purchase different things.. but you don't have to. I recommend checking it out. Download the Munzee app and sing up! Then start scanning. I will even add a code to get you a bonus 50 points at sign up.. just scan it as your first munzee then get out there and get hunting :) Good excuse to go for a walk. I was at about 5,000 steps before i went out last night, and managed to bump myself up to 7,500 without even realising it. :)

Scan me when you sign up to Munzee :)

Day 6

Day 6

19/11/16

Today was a good day. It was the annual town Christmas Parade, so I got organise in the morning and took the kids down to see all the floats. There were some pretty awesome ones. lots of fun in the air, and music. Liam managed to sleep through it all (as only a month month old can!) but Ryan liked the horses, and the people dressed up. Was a bit over it all by the end though, which is understandable as it was so HOT! I managed to come out sunburned.

Afterwards we went to the shops and had a little look around, and then headed back home. On the way home Mum
(who came with us) and Ryan got McDonalds for lunch.. and I said NO! Now I know thats not a huge achievement, but for me its a good thing. If I had of had something from there I would have gone over my calorie allowance in one meal!! Its amazing how good junk food can smell! Why can't healthy food smell as good.. okay, some can. But not anything that is as quick and easy to access as fast food.

So that was my win for the day!! Instead, I came home and had a meal replacement shake. I am still thinking about food as much, but its only a mental thing now.. I Don't crave it like i was earlier in the week, but I still mentally want it. Some habits are hard to break but it all comes down to MIND over MATTER. I know I don't need it... so I refuse to have it!!
