Yes, I have been quiet for awhile and no, it's not because I've been busy at the gym. I went back to Australia for my brother's wedding (from Wed 23rd to Wed 30th) and it involved a lot of food and very little exercise. The simple fact is that unless you want to have a really crummy time, it's too hard to stick to a diet & exercise plan while enjoying a special event/holiday like that. That said, I didn't completely blow-out. I even started out trying to exercise but on my second day there I went for a run and seriously hurt my knee... exercise fail.
So here I am, not having put on weight but probably not having lost any either. The bad news is that I've lost 9 days of my challenge thus leaving me with less time to achieve my goals... The good news is that I start my new job tomorrow (can't remember if I mentioned it but I landed a job at a gym which will involve PT, group fitness, nutritional consultation etc) and will finally be able to lock in a routine and also stop sitting around on the couch for hours every day which always leads to boredom eating. I even had another company contact me again after I turned them down, begging me to come work for them so there's a chance I'll be working 6-7 days a week for awhile. Tiring, yes, but great for the bank account and also good to keep me productive... Somehow the less time I have the more I seem to get done!
Not much more to say at this point... My gym routine will stay fairly similar to what I planned before (6 days, 3 day split strength program, couple of cardio classes, 1 set sprints & 2 core workouts) and I will be aiming for 1500 calories although will attempt to throw some low days in there to make up for lost time. Will report in on Monday with updated measurements and hopefully some good news regarding sticking to my plan! Until then...
