Upswing

The dietician appointment went amazingly well. I was expecting to gain, especially given I'd nibbled on lollies and chocolate that pushed me well above my 950 average, and I only ran for two hours total last week (boo). But, I, by some miraculous turn of events, weighed in exactly the same as I did last week. Boo yah. So, the plan is to go for 1,000 this week (and, trust me, all nibbling will be accounted for), only run if I feel like it, and go from there.

I am stoked. Every week that my weight doesn't shoot up, I feel like I have another chance. So this week is averaging 1,000 calories a day, and only running when I feel like it. I always get on an upswing when I 'get another chance'. Let's just hope this continues into tomorrow and pulls me out of my horrible, unproductive funk. I also went to the grocery store this morning, which I haven't done in nearly a week. Yes...! I love grocery shopping. It was hard to get out of the house, especially considering I'd just been out to the clinic, but I did it. Hoping I can get out again tomorrow at least once. I need to get motivated for life and be productive and all that jazz again.

    1. I hope so! Not two months ago, I would've gained a kilogram a day after eating 1,000 calories! :)

    1. Thanks Lovely. I didn't manage to get out of the house today, but that's okay I guess. I'm still doing better than I have been, and I need my rest time.
      Hope you're okay

  4. Thanks :) I hope grocery shopping goes okay for you. I normally love it, but it gets harder if my mum is dragging me down confectionary and snack food aisles :x I tend to avoid most of the aisles if I can help it.
