So I'm not even going to bother posting the results this week because on paper it looks like I've gone backwards. Now while I may have had a 2 day slip up, I know for a fact I can't have gone backwards but because today happens to be the first day of "that time of the month" when I enjoy excessive bloating, cramping & lower back pain (you know the one) - the numbers are off. I wasn't even going to do the measurements but it felt wrong to skip them, so I did them anyway but will promptly block them out of my mind because I don't need any false disappointment right now. The only good thing is that when I have a week like this, the following week is usually way better to compensate so I'm looking forward to that!
Due to these hormonal joys I'm also going to have to be careful not to overtrain. I recently discovered that your bone density is lower at that time of the month which finally explained why I get so much lower back pain then. I'm sticking to 1 workout a day but trying to add in extra cardio to make up for the missed afternoon workouts. Still yet to see if I can keep my calories as low as I'd like, but I'm actually not stressed about it right now. As much as I'd love to lose serious weight before the audition, I'm quite content with chipping away at my goals consistently (the same as I've been doing up to this point - maybe minus the 2 day a week binge!) and have been feeling so much better about myself physically, that I don't think an extra 500g fat loss is going to make or break the audition. I'll just take it one day at a time and see how I go!
