Last week the feedback told me I had overindulged. I chose to blame many things whilst I was overindulging, but then the data spoke. All it could tell me was that my hard work of previous weeks was being undone, sabotaged by my own behaviours.
Time to shape up, or quit this game...
So, nutrition took a front seat this week; focus was on changing the intake back to ‘good’ foods, not naughty ones. Focus was on recognising how I felt after eating good foods, and remembering what it felt like after bad foods. But it was not all hard slog and whippings... I did enjoy a cheeky beer, but this time not in the same volumes as before.
The data:
Weight: 92.9kg – down 1kg from last week
Body Fat: 9.6% - down 0.8% from last week
Waist: 84-89cm – down 1cm from last week
That’s better.
And to add some icing to that... Water polo starts again next week. The chance to chuck the ball around, have a bit of fun and have a good swim. Winter games in the open air are just marvellous, the brisk evening air accompanying the steam as it rises from the pool surface... ahhh! Magic.
Anyway, sometimes it is difficult to stay with the focus, and sometimes you slip. If you do, don’t get disheartened, use the data to remind you that you were succeeding and all you have faced is a surmountable hurdle. You have already proven that you can get over that hurdle, because you were getting fitter, leaner and having more fun. Remember the great feeling of exhilaration as you finish another session, tired I’m sure, tired but knowing that weight, fitness and all of your goals are back on track.
... Train, enjoy, laugh and then train again...
