About time I had a decent loss - if you call 700 grams decent. Which I do by the way. My usual losses are around 2-300 grams.
Last week at weigh in I was back to where I was at the start of this round - so disappointing. But I know where I went wrong and that's a good thing. Hopefully I won't do the same thing again - at least not too soon.
On Friday I managed to walk for around 1.5 hours shopping with the youngest. She needed (according to her) a new dress for a 21st she was going to that night. We did have Devonshire tea with milk shake for lunch - oops.
Then on Saturday I was helping out the calisthenic club move their costumes from storage bay to another about 150m away. 90% of the costumes are in full 55 litre plastic tubs, the rest are in suit bags. Each tub had to taken out of storage, loaded into a car and driven around to the new area. I don't know how many car loads I did but it was a lot. I do know that I did nearly all of it. Another lady did 2 cars loads and I did the rest.
I had decided Friday night to wear my HRM just to see how many cals I would burn. It is fairly easy work and I had originally thought I would do 2 hours and no more. Well I arrived at 9am and left at 3 pm. The last hour and a half I turned off the HRM as I had slowed down and everything was moved. On checking the monitor I saw I had burned 1522 cals. What a Super Saturday Session!!
Then on Sunday whilst getting dressed I had an 'Ah Ha' moment.
If I could do the things I had done in the past 2 days what is stopping me from walking around the block?? It's only 770m - a mere 1925 steps.
I thought about this and figured out that it is the distraction of things to look at, a job to do, people to talk to that made it easy. Yes my knees hurt even with pain killers before hand. When going for a walk there's just me in my head and I can concentrate on pain.
This is something I have to work on.
