This week I have been burning the candles both ends.. late to bed (due to trying to clean up after the boys go to bed) then up early to go to the gym and go to work early just to keep on top of things this week.
Definitely has taken its toll on me...It's definitely not a sustainable lifestyle, so glad it was only this week.
Things I have realised.
Rest is soo important...
I haven't realised how much I have needed it this week, trying to fit EVERYTHING in my day that I really wanted to do. My colleague has been on holidays, so I have been putting in a few extra hours before and after just to try and stay reasonably on top of everything.
Lack of rest increases my laziness and poor judgement. Poor food options was definitely an issue this week. Refined takeaway breakfasts and coffee (first time I have had coffee for a long while).
I hit below 81 by wednesday.. but back over 81 on Saturday. Reflecting at my food journal I know where I have gone wrong and why.
Also this thursday and friday I chose not to go to the Gym so I could get another hour shut eye. So less calorie burn plus bad food choices has definitely affected me. But luckily I have 3 more days before next weigh in.
It felt so good to go this morning though. I miss the sweat the burn the feeling of working hard.
Above all, time wasnt on my side this week. But here's to a new week, better choices and getting back on focus.
Great reflection! You've identified the issues, now to move forward :)
