So its been a really good week!!! After having a ridiculous gain last week I have had such a spot on week especially the last 3-4 days.
So I had started watching a channel on you tube a few weeks ago. Its a couple who lost 60 kilos each other. And they did it by not count calories....or macros...or carbs....or weight watcher points....they did it simply by portion control. So if they eat something....they look on the packet for how much 1 serving is (like half a cut or how many grams) and then they eat 1 serve of whatever it is. They dont treat food as "good" or "bad" but do focus on protein, low sugar, eat health carbs and fit in treats. I really liked their balanced approach and that you dont need to do "food tetris trying to fit in your calories/macros.
So I stopped tracking tuesday or wednesday and at the same time increased my water to a minimum of 3 litres per day. Its worked really well...ive not over eaten....ive eaten a lot of protein foods but also eaten carbs (wholegrain bread, sandwich thins, wraps and rollled oats) and today I woke up to a loss of 4.6 kilos!!! So my weight after hitting a high of 146.8 kilos is now 141.7 kilos. I set a goal to be under 140 kilos by June 22 but really should be under it by the end of the month. For anyone interested in checking out the you tube channel I am talking about you can check it out here The Collets
I also discover "noshu" products today. Low sugar cakes/brownies etc. I bought a premade funfetti cake which had 4 slices and less then 2 grams of sugar per slice and OMG so delishus! Its been my after dinner treat the last few days (113 calories per slice for those interested)
Also I finally saw a physio about my foot. Turns out I have a irritated achilles, I need orthotics and she is also going to do some work on my mobility in feet/ankle joint and balance. Anyone who has followed me for a while would know I have always had a lot of issues with my feet and previously wore orthotics. This tho is definitely the worse its ever been. But I go back monday and they will do scans/measurements for my orthotics and hopefully I will get them a week or two later...so at least now I have a plan. But I am not allowed to wear my gym shoes (only my shoes i wear to work which are orthopedic shoes and super supportive) and also no walks etc....at the moment....i can do workouts at home....like some upper weight work....squats...but definitely all low impact.
Not a lot else going on but super glad to report a successful week :)
Update!
Friday, May 3, 2019
So I havent updated for over a week. Last week I lost 1.5 kilos but when I came to update the journal blogger was down.
While this was all going on I had discovered the ex had not only gone back to her ex girlfriend but was also involved with someone else from her past (seriously i couldnt make up this chit!) whilst she was trying to get back with me. She then was messaging me most days even tho I hadnt responded for several weeks it was never ending and emotionally hearing from her constantly was upsetting. So I confronted her and told her everything I knew. She has a uncanny ability when even tho she has done the worse of the worse to somehow blame me for chit LOL...but I have not heard from her since so thats the good news.
But this did lose to emotionally eating and this week I woke up to my highest weight for well over 10 years. So enough is enough. I cannot allow this to continue. So back to MFP today, this morning i took photos of me in a bra and knickers from every direction (front, back, side) and also photos of me in leggings and my bra. I wont post either yet but maybe in the future.
This may be TMI but I am going to put it down in writing so I can look back at this. LOL. So after so many years of having excess skin. I no longer have excess skin (I have the tiniest amount on my stomach but that is all) But every part of me is now "full" especially my boobs haha...its super weird....I look forward to them in another 12-18 months of them being very unfull.
Monday night I have an appointment with my physio about my achilles/heel. I am hoping they can massage out the tightness in my calf muscle as i think thats what the issue is and hopefully give me some exercises I can do at home. I have been doing some and I have also been wearing supportive shoes (which have actually helped) but its still a long way from being 100% and at this point in my journey I really need to be able to get out their walking. But at worse hopefully they can gave me suggestions for the gym (I am thinking they will say bike, rower and possibly x trainer) if so Ill get back to the gym tuesday night.
Not a lot else to say. I am sitting down watching the new ted bundy movie on netflix, tomorrow I am going to see Aladdin (a bit worried about fitting in the seat but hopefully no issue!)
PS Just so I have it noted...my weight today...is 146.65 :( and my body fat is 45.7% time to bring them both down.
