Weigh, Lose or Stay
Week Nineteen
I wasn’t expecting anything great this week, I was kind of hoping that I would stay the same though. It hasn’t been a great diet week, which has not been helped that I have been really struggling with sleep deprivation. For about 5 nights this week I have averaged 3, max 4 hours with a poorly and teething baby and I have felt quite like the walking dead. So inevitably it wasn’t the best dieting week either.
I also didn’t manage to do any exercise at all 🙁 . I ended up putting on 1.25lbs. After being a bit annoyed when I stepped on the scales, as I am writing this now I have decided I am ok with this. 1 lb is just a lb and I know I can easily turn this around. Given the circumstances I think it actually could have been a lot worse. I am drawing a line, praying for more sleep and also going to make sure I do some more exercise this week too.

we all have our off weeks and a teething baby certainly doesn’t help as I know when I’m tired I don’t feel like cooking etc. you’ve got a great attitude towards it though, hope you get more sleep this week xx
Thanks Chantelle yes some days I was so tired my energy went to getting through the day and getting work done x
Ooh Laura! I can’t stand the zombie no sleep feeling- and I know exactly what it’s like! You’ve done well not to gain a lot more. I’ve had a rubbish month and gained a little bit but in the grand scheme of things it’s not that bad! Your doing great to be honest and i’m enjoying reading your progress. For now I am doing a monthly weigh in but as of nov, I hope to write about my weight loss more often- and this is the perfect linky!

Thank you Angela that’s really kind I will pop over and read your update in a minute x
I agree a 1lb is only a 1lb I gained the same this week, and having poorly children is definitely an excuse 🙂
Poorly children makes it really hard – sorry you gained this week too x
Lack of sleep is one of the worst things when you are trying to diet and exercise! Just leaves you so energy drained and reaching for the biscuit tin!!
Emma yea that is exactly it. With no sleep you have no reserves x
That isn’t a bad gain at all considering. If I was surviving on that much sleep I’m sure I’d be eating McDonalds and who knows what else and gaining a stone in a week!
Yes McDonalds is very tempting, clenches teeth x
It is a tiny gain in the face of the week’s stresses and all the weight you have already lost. With so little sleep it is hard to think about anything other than getting through the day with two small (adorable but exhausting) children. New week now and hopefully a bit more sleep, but until your next weigh in just get out your phone and look at the pictures before you started losing. The change is fantastic. And even with your (temporary) extra pound you are still more than halfway to your goal.
I too gained a pound this week, with no poorly babies to look after. My club leader assures me that it is because of increased jogging, and that I will soon have a dramatic drop. Fingers crossed and sticking to the plan ????
I think you have been doing so much excercise you are just toning and it will catch up with you I look forward to reading how you did next week 🙂
