Weigh Day
Todays weigh in saw the teeniest of losses being 100gms to take me to 77.3kms (??? /lbs). With all the walking I have been doing you would think the weight would be falling off me. Not so. Unfortunately I have been shovelling it in as fast as I am walking it off so am thankful at least that the activity is maintaining my weight.
Every week I say to myself "This week will be better." Every week I know that if I can control my food intake the weight loss will show. However all I ever did was talk about it and nothing changed.
This week will be different.
"Why?" I hear you all ask in hushed tones. ;)
Because this time not only have I talked about it, I have moved my tail and done something about it.
I have planned out an entire weeks eating.
I have shopped and brought into work the ONLY food I will be eating during work hours this week.
I made a tonne of spag. bol. on the weekend that will keep me in emergency dinners for weeks.
I bought some pre-packaged evening meals to get me back to portion size control.
I bought some extra vege's to bulk out the meals.
I am committing to one week.
I can do one week.
It is only one week.
Then after this week I will think about what I do for the next week.
One meal at a time.
One day at a time.
One week at a time.
I can do this. I WILL do this. :D
Global Corporate Challenge
We are currently in Russia. To be more precise we are in Verkhneimbatsk which is just 30 kms north along the river from Borodino (our last stop!) With a local dish speciality of "Saddle of Reindeer" I am sure I won't be visiting soon. Though the thought of using vodka to cleanse and tone my skin does sound rather appealing. Two famous men are known in Verkhneimbatsk. Rudolf Nureyev (famous ballet dancer) was born on the Trans-siberian train in March 1938 (must have been going through Verkhneimbatsk at the time), and the Russian President - Vladimir Putin - who has started a fashion trend in the region with the locals having his scowling face tattooed on their bodies as a sign of respect. Lets hope they all had a good meal of Reindeer and Vodka first LOL.
What did I do well last week
I kept up my walking and increased my daily average steps.
I broke through the 30,000 step mark (still really happy about this)
I faced some issues at home and have begun to work through them.
What will I do better this week
Track & stick to my food plan

Great post - it sounds like you have everything in place to have an even better week - and 100gms is still 100gms closer to your goal. Well done - and may this week be everything you want it to be! :-)

LOL, I can tell how much walking you've been doing, cos you said you now weigh 77 kilometers, when I presume you meant kilograms!!!!!
All your hard work will have to pay off with a gorgeous big loss soon, and I've no doubt at all that you're keeping an eye on those measurements, so you know that the centimetres are just dropping off you.
Have a great week lovely!!!

You impress me so much M. After 2 hours of walking I think the least likely thing I could do would be to walk another 10KMS! You have shown with this challenge how much you can achieve when you plan and put your mind to something and I just know that you will be able to follow through this week with your eating. :)

Mmmmm - reindeer and vodka!!
Sometimes we do have to break what is ahead of us into portions that we can manage - be it one week, one day, or one meal at a time. I know you can do this M - all your hard work WILL pay off, just keep going!!
Hope you have a wonderful week xxx

"The Power of One" whether it is one hour, one day, one evening, one week......one + one = two and so on and so forth. Your plan sounds great and hopefully gives you a feeling of control and motivation that I felt when doing mine last Thursday. Have a great week and .1kg is still a good result in the right direction.lb.

Its sounds like a lot of us have hit a Plateau where we are doing the exercise but its just not showing on the scales, hmmm maybe its winter and we are going back to the caveman days where we need to store our food, or maybe not.
30,000 steps that is amazing and good on you, hope you have a great week!

You're so organised there's no way you can fail, and look at all of these people encouraging you, there's no way you'll let yourself be too naughty :) Think how good it's going to feel at the end of the week to know that you stuck to it, even if you don't have a huge loss. To know you can do it is half the achievment.

LOL so you've been shovelling in just as much as walking hey? I gotta say, well done for being honest with yourself and for doing something about it. Your plan sounds really good and focusing on one week only sure takes the pressure off. I hope it's proving to be a great week for you babe!
