Unfortunately I can't say that it has done my weight management any good. Gained another 4 pounds so a total of 10 pounds have crept back onto my body and boy can I feel it! UGHHHHHH! I know why it has happened - BAD PLANNING! I can't emphasise enough how much planning can help to keep the wolves at bay. I certainly have learnt that lesson now. Oh well back onto 2 bars a day and talking about exercise yet again. I have been running all over the country staying in fantastic hotels, training in great venues with fabulous food so no wander why I have gained weight. Having said that this is exactly when I should have planned better. I bought the bars in anticipation of a busy month and then promptly forgot them home! Not very useful sitting in a cupboard me thinks! You have to ask whether I wanted to leave them at home subconsciously - well the honest answer is no! I was so annoyed with myself as I did it twice and then out of frustration decided to pig out! Some things NEVER CHANGE!
After our fantastic weekend away which was lovely and both of us were totally pampered and relaxed by the end of it. Then my life became hectic to say the least. We had the last finishing touches to do on the house before parents arrived. I had 11 days of training to do all over the UK and still had to run a business, do 2 days a week at a contract in Surrey and get my parents settled in amongst having to attend some business training on their first weekend in the UK. No pressure then! My own fault as didn't plan it very well but then life can be like that! Having said that I really do work well under pressure I just don't eat well under pressure.
I have been trying to eat smaller portions of whatever I was eating and most of time did ok. The drinking has come back to haunt me especially on long boring train rides after a stressful day of training. This lowers your resistance to the things you shouldn't be eating such as crisps, chocolate and other naughties! With my parents having moved in our eating habits, food supplies and drinking sessions have all changed and caused havoc with my routine. I just need to get a grip and some control back over what I am doing and make time to plan and be sensible about how much I can handle at one time. I also haven't been to LL weekly sessions as have either been in another location in the UK or at a business function. NOT GOOD! It really does make a difference if you go each week as keeps you accountable and helps you to manage what is happening to you especially in times like this. I will be going back next week even if I have put on more weight, at least I can get it under control again. All my clothes are still fitting just a little more snugly and with winter having already arrived I think it may be a great idea to get focused.
Hope all of you are d
oing well and life has not been as hectic as mine has been of late. But I am now back in the land of the living and hope to catch up with you soon. Will try and update more often and best wishes to all of you who have been in contact - hope you do really well on the programme! Keep me posted on your progress. xxxx
