I did loose the weight

....And gained 2KGs of it back. Ideally I want to loose another 10KG. I'm going to fast tomorrow to make up for my horrible eating today

I binged and gained 3.5KG

The whole month I've lost only 1KG. I was so annoyed because my fitness pal says my net calories per week is in the region of 300 calories.

I'm not sure what is going wrong.

Sigh.

Anyway, friday and saturday I eat everything I wanted to eat and now today, I'm up from 72KG to 75.5.

Today is going to be a detox day.  I won't give up. I just have to accept I loose weight really slowly.

Feel super weak

I had insomnia again and woke up around 3am. I tossed and turned, got a little sleep until 5.45am.

I had  no energy and my stomach was growling with hunger overnight.

Once I had a coffee with milk and grapes I felt a little better. About mid morning I eat two eggs with salad and a table spoon of mayo. It really helped.

I had the energy to go for a near 10km walk. After 7km I started feeling weak but kept going until I got home. I was so exhausted and finally went to bed for about 2 hours. MFP says I burned 711 calories,

 I'm actually struggling to eat now which is sort of a good thing. I have no appetite for food at all, but I have to eat to keep my energy up. I drank loads of water and herbal teas too. I think I've even dropped a few ounces during the day, but tomorrow's scales will tell me the truth

Breakfast - 157 calories
Coffee with milk and 200g grapes

Lunch - 283
Boiled eggs x2
Mayo
Salad with balsamic dressing

Lost half a pound

I eat more than my required calories yesterday. I hardly had energy to run yesterday, so I walked for about a 1/4 of the 4.6 km run.

Still I managed to loose 0.3KG. So now 75 kg.

Yesterday's meals were:

Breakfast - 195 calories

I couldn't sleep so I had 2 shots of rum - 160 calories

I felt so weak this morning and I was hungry throughout the night. And, I woke up early - around 3am and slept a little more until 5.30am.
I had a cup of green tea and 200g of grapes. I felt so much better afterwards

After 9 days I'm 1KG down

I went for a 40m run - My Fitness Pal said it burned 380 calories and I walked for an hour on errands.

I stagnated for 9 days without loosing a single pound and finally, I'm down 1 KG. I hate that it takes so long to achieve any weight loss.

3 weeks to loose 10lbs

So, I have to get down from current weight as of this morning, 76.4KG to 72KG. Basically 10lbs and I have 3 weeks to do it in.

I have never been able to loose 10lbs in 3 weeks. I can't even manage it in 2 months, with exercising everyday so how I'll do it in 3 weeks I don't know, but I'm going to try. Not eating carbs is giving me insomnia so over the last few days, I've had a small glass of wine, which still keeps me under 1000 calories. It doesn't take much to knock me out as I have a low tolerance for alcohol.

As of Friday 11th May I've kept my calories under 1000 but yet, it's now Thursday, a whole week later and the scales haven't moved. Some days, I've been under 600 calories, but for the most part I'm averaging 900 calories a day. And still no movement on the scales!!! GRRRR

My body loves holding onto fat!

So, to keep me on track, I've decided to blog.

Today, I went for a 35m run. It took me 40m. My under armour app says I burned 380 calories. When I came back from my run, I'd lost 0.8KG. Nearly 2lbs in water!
If I'm still the same weight tomorrow i'll be really pissed.

Today's food:
Breakfast - Approx 200 calories
Decaf coffee with milk
Coconut milk latte (bad I know)

Lunch - Approx 350 Calories
Cup of peas
Mixed salad leafs
1 chopped Tomato
Quarter cucumber
Hand full of Green beans
Olive oil and balsamic dressing
Chicken breast

Dinner - Approx 200 calories
100g cucumber
100g green beans
50g king prawns
Hot sauce

Snack - 100 calories
Handful of peanuts

As alcohol slows the metabolism, I'm going to try and sleep tonight without it as a sleep aid and see what tomorrow brings. I sound like a right alkie lol

Introspective holiday musings

I'm in Turkey, specifically in a place called Bodrum. 

I did worry a bit about coming here - not everywhere is friendly to black people. I needn't have worried since everyone in our hotel has been very friendly. I do get the occasional stare but it's more curiosity rather than malice. 

Anyway, I've been practically horizontal most of the holiday. Sun, sea, and surf does a body good. However it has got me asking the perennial question. What can I do that will make me happy, give me money to live to my current standard at least and enable to not have to work for someone else. 

Still trying to figure that out... 

Anyway that's me for now. Might be back to blog more nonsense
