ummm, what?

Weighed in yesterday and did the body fat measurements today and it's left me a little baffled. Was feeling a bit disappointed with my results on the scales (a loss of 500g) which considering how little exercise I did is great, but I want it all and I want it now! But then my BF measurements came back and I'm not sure whether to believe them or not. I have a feeling my measurements last week were higher than they should have been due to it being that time of the month but this week's seem too low even taking that into account... Nevertheless, I'll post the results and I guess week 3 will reveal if they were accurate or not.

Date	Goal	Actual	Change	Goal	Actual	Change
2/01/12		59.80kg			20.92%
9/01/12	59.00kg	59.30kg	-0.50kg	20.00%	17.35%	-3.57%
16/01/12	58.25kg			19.00%
23/01/12	57.50kg			18.00%
30/01/12	56.75kg			17.00%
6/02/12	56.25kg			16.00%
13/02/12	55.75kg			15.00%
20/02/12	55.25kg			14.00%
27/02/12	55.00kg			13.00%

See what I mean? Seems like too big a change! Especially since I may have had a little slip up on both Sunday night & Monday where I made anzac cookie dough and ate it between the two days & also may have had Indian for dinner last night. I'm sorry - I suck, I know. I was having anxiety attacks yesterday (long story) and lose all logic and decision making skills when that happens which leads to stupidity. I have since thrown out the rest of the cooking butter (my enabler as I call it) and will not be having a repeat performance. While my cheat tasted good, it left me bloated, sore in the stomach and plain old unsatisfied. I would have been better off to push through and wait for the craving to go away. I've heard someone talk about a craving "lay-by" that they use... Once the craving hits, they give it 24hrs. If after 24hrs you're still craving it, eat it. Chances are though that you will have forgotten all about it.


I'll admit though, after 4 days of working at the airport, I was physically & emotionally wrecked. All my injuries are flaring up (neck/back, knees & ankles) & I was feeling really disheartened. What am I supposed to do at the gym when everything hurts?? And not a good pain either - proper injury pain that doesn't get better when you "push through". So I had a pity party for myself... I was the only one there. And now it's over. Seems like a waste considering if I'd had 2 good days instead of those 2 bad days, I could have lost another 200gm. You live and you learn.


No photos this week - going to do them fortnightly because week to week there aren't huge visible differences (well not through the lens anyway) and I won't bother posting the measurement table - I lost 1cm off my waist and 0.5cm off my arm but that's the only changes this week. Anyways off to the gym to try and snap out of my funk. Sorry it wasn't a more upbeat post.
