Weigh-in: 167.8 lb lost so far: 0 lb still to go: 35.5 lb Diet followed reasonably well
   (1 comment) gaining 0.0 lb a week

14 August 2016

I only worked out like 2-3 times since my last weigh in, which is more than a week ago. I am beginning to think I should focus more on my main problem, which is getting enough sleep, and then adding the regular workout and the diet plan.

Basically I fall asleep around 3am, wake up at 6am, snooze until 7am (you can't blame me) and then I sleep for 1-3 hours when I come back from work. I guess it's because of the afternoon sleep that I can't fall asleep earlier during the night. Plus that I haven't needed to wake up earlier than 9 for almost a year now, since my previous jobs were closer to my home and they had later working hours.

I will try this week to not give in and fall asleep when I reach home. I tried also last week, and succeeded only in one day, but then the others that followed I was feeling exhausted and always slept in the afternoon. Of course, this affects my general mood, my focus at work, so it is quite an issue I need to fix ASAP :(

I can't say this number is what I was expecting. Just the day before yesterday, I weight myself and it showed 70,1 kilos, so I thought "wow, for sure I will lose 200 grams in the following 2 days, and reach my goal to be under 70 kilos". And I continued to eat and do my Pilates workouts.

To find this surprise (705 kilos) makes me understand, that a body is not a mathematical equation, at least not an easy one. It's not just food in minus activities out. It's also hormones, stress, muscle building, lactic acid from muscle soreness, some residue in the guts, and so many more things we might not think about. And maybe my goal weight should not be as low as I first expect it to be. And maybe my diet should not have to be restrictive in order to lose some grams on the scale, if I am going to just regain them once I start eating like I am used to afterwards. I eat healthy now, I just need to keep it up. I don't want to give up on potatoes, rice and bread because they keep me full for longer, and I think moderation is better than restriction.

I feel a lot fitter in my arms and legs after the 2 weeks of working out. I am stretching each day and can almost do the full frontal split, with a bit more time I will reach the floor and sit on my thighs. I also see I don't crave sweets as much as before, maybe it's because I try to avoid them and dismiss them as a habit, maybe also because of the heat and humidity here (it's around 40 degrees daily, and we are all melting).

I think I will continue to log in my weight once a week, it seems like a number I can keep up with without going too obsessive.

Good luck everybody, may your journey teach you many things you never knew about yourself :)
