Summary Of Week 2

So, week two has passed...

Monday: Running 35 min + gym 35 min // Calories -480
Tuesday: Zumba 1 h + running 10 min + (walking 40 min) // -330
Wednesday: Crosstrainer 30 min + 8 minute abs + sit-ups & back muscle training + (walking 20 min) + stretching // -350
Thursday: BodyAttack 1 h // -660
Friday: - // +470
Saturday:  8 minute abs + some back muscles // +380
Sunday: BodyStep 1 h + jogging 6 min (WOW) + stretching // 1290 - 1530 - 450 - 45 = -735

Exercise = 4 h 50 min (5 h 50 min) NOT good enough
Calories = -1705  (One kg weight loss requires -7700 calories...)

Challenges completed this week: did some stretching twice this week + went to the gym once - going to improve these two for next week!

This week wasn't good enough. I've so far lost 0,8 kg in two weeks, and that's a ridiculously small amount. I just don't understand what I'm doing wrong. I've subscribed to quite a few diet blogs, and by the look of it seem to be working out a lot more than some other dieters. And still some of them are losing way more than I am. It's has to be my diet that's still wrong, but I can't wrap my brain around the problem. I eat healthily, and I thought the amount was right as well, but apparently something's still wrong. Obviously, I had two cheat days this week, which don't help my case here. Friday was fat by permission, but Saturday this week was frustrating. I really could (and should!) have done better. I know that I didn't have the time to workout and I had no way of knowing that in the morning, but still I'm somehow mad at myself (can't help it). Even enjoying your own birthday isn't mentally okay during the first stages of dieting. :D Oh and the kick-ass workout I promised myself yesterday? Didn't happen. I was so bloated and tired of stuffing my face that I barely made it through BodyStep. I hate these kind of days when nothing gets done properly!

What adds to my frustration is that I know next week's going to be a lot worse. I have a lot of fun stuff happening at the end of the week (more about that later!), and it will be impossible for me to hold up a calorie deficit (I'm not even going to try). So I will try to go through Mon-Wed with absolute minimum calories. We'll see how that works out. Future plan (for time after next week): to radically increase my calorie deficit (haven't made any exact calculations yet, but I'm thinking  a deficit of 500-900 kcal a day).

Unlike I stated at first, I am going to keep on counting my approximate calories for a while, at least until I get a clear picture of what I really should be eating daily.

AND I AM GOING TO BOOK THAT PT APPOINTMENT, I HAVE TO! I honestly don't understand what's holding me back here - I just can't make myself make the call. Even though I know it's not going to be scary or horrid - only helpful! And still.... But next week I'll take a grip of myself and take care of this issue!

Current weight: 71,3 kg
