Well yes this post is a day late, but that's ok. I'm apparently an intermittent blogger these days anyway, so ... deal with it lol.
Let's get down to business here...
Last week: 133.3
This week: 132.9
Difference: - 0.4
Maintenance: Somehow a success. I'll take it.
Long story short, insomnia fucked me up this week.
Monday night I couldn't sleep. I woke up at 1:30 am and that was it.
Tuesday night was not much better. Woke up at 2:30, decided to go sleep by myself on the couch (maybe a change of scenery would help?) and finally fell back to sleep sometime around 4 am probably.
Wednesday and Thursday I finally got some decent sleep but the damage was done. I couldn't recover and spent the week pretty much in fog of exhaustion. And I let that exhaustion give me permission to make crappy food choices all week. I can't count how many Starbucks lattes and pastries I had. Well, I tried to. By Saturday night I was -99 for the week (including weekly and fitpoints - not that I was earning them anyway in my state of perpetual tiredness). Sunday we spent the day at a friends house and I didn't even bother tracking. I just gave up on it. And we get "wins" for tracking now days too. I was willing to lose those wins, that's just how much I didn't care.
But, that was then and this is now. And the fact the the scale was down nearly half a pound is a freaking miracle.
Yesterday I decided to play around with my points settings a bit. In maintenance mode you can change how many daily and weekly points you get, so I lowered my daily points and upped my weekly points. It still works out to be the same number of points in a week, I'm just curious to see if allocating them differently plays a different mind game and helps me be more successful. Especially coming off a really crappy week.
Yesterday I also got up early to workout -but then I realized I'd never done the load of laundry with all my workout clothes in it so I couldn't work out today. My goal this evening is to get that done. But it's a busy evening so we'll see.
Tomorrow is Halloween and of course there will be candy (hello my beautiful weekly points, come here and help a girl out!) but I'm feeling pretty in control so I'm not currently worried. And if I succumb, so be it. It's just one day.
And that's where I'm at.
Next post will be Wednesday workouts where I will check in with what I've been doing along with some of the data.
And Friday I hope to post as well and talk about some mental things going on with my journey this past month or so.
But as an intermittent blogger I make no guarantees lol.
Have a good rest of the week.
