For the past 5 days I have been stuck at the same weight and it's the first time I've had a gain in the past 5 months!
It has been frustrating to sit on 84.3 kgs for so long. To begin with I couldn't understand why.
Then I sat down and had a wee think about what could be happening... What have I done differently.
Ok, I have been missing out on my yoga. It is important, I enjoy it and it does burn a few calories, but I don't think it would cause a gain on it's own. No, there is something else, something I am becoming careless with...
Carbs? Let's see... Okay, I haven't been too bad, there have been the odd indulgences. The odd slice of toast here, KFC for dinner one night there (but not a huge portion), a salami and salad wrap (hardly a crime).
Then what about sugar? Well, I had one cookie - it's not exactly a binge, but then I thought - I have been having a few sachet coffees this week too (around 3 per day). They are 74 calories each without milk, but they are 9 grams of sugar.
Things are starting to add up now. I have not been as disciplined in a few areas and although I've been watching portions and my overall nutrition, I have slipped up a bit and things have got off balance.
The body processes sugar and carbs differently and my body is used to having very little. When it does get a bit more that usual, it has an impact!
Some tweaking is what is needed and darn it, more discipline. I've lost my way a little, but I am back on the straight and narrow now. Hopefully I am back on track to achieve my next goal in the next two weeks.
