Got up this morning and decided to check my progress on the scales, even though it's not weigh in day. And if I'm to be honest, it's not the first time I've done it this week. So far it's been showing no change so I thought 2 days before weigh in day, there must be some change by now. Well a change there was, it showed that I have put on 0.5kgs...NOT HAPPY JAN!!!!!!!!!!!
Well the usual self sabotaging thoughts started creeping in, what's the point, why am I killing myself exercising if it's not going to make any difference, what can I eat?
Thankfully before I could do any damage my mindset changed. I decided that there are still 2 days to go before weigh in and last week I saw no change on the scales until weigh in day. So I got on my eliptical cross trainer, listened to my new playlist and off I went. To my amazement, 10 mins was up before I new it and I was still feeling good (normally I struggle to get to 10mins). So I kept going and next I checked I had been going for 20mins! Well I decided that since the playlist was 30mins long I would try to get to the end of it. Well the 30mins mark hit and I looked at how many kms I'd done and it was 3.6kms. Instead of stopping at that point, I decided that I would keep going to hit the 4km mark. I was so proud of myself for keeping on going. I couldn't believe that I had mangaged 33mins on the cross trainer!!!
Am going to take the dog for a walk this afternoon, so that I can get my cals burnt up and over the 500 mark and keep my fingers crossed for my Wed morning weigh in!
I've been weighing myself on and off as well but I have to stop it. I was so happy when it showed 2kg lost but really not happy when it showed 500g gained. Our weight can fluctuate over a kg during the day so I guess the lesson is stick to weigh in days but I totally understand how you feel and it's good that you pushed harder instead of getting down on yourself.
