I always plan and enter my food into My Fitness Pal for the following day.

It takes the guess work out of whether i'll reach the correct calories/macros.

However, it's not very often I get my macro's as exact as this 🤣

Although it'll change slightly tomorrow once I enter the exact weights of things.(I weigh everything by the gram)

Lost 0.4lb this week on an average of 1445 calories, but I have been feeling totally exhausted, very hungry, completely spaced out, and struggling to concentrate on my studies, and in all honesty everyday life 😆

Although this deficit is providing an average lost of 0.75lb a week, I think its too aggressive for the physical and mental stresses my body is under currently.

I need to remember i'm still recovering from bilateral hip replacement, and although the external scars are healed, the internal work of bone and muscle repair will be ongoing for a year or so, and my body needs significant energy for this.

I'm also putting my body under further cognitive stress with studying for my AAT qualification and my upcoming new job as a Finance Manager.

I desperately want to lose the 16lb i've gained, but not at the expense of my health and wellbeing. So i'm going to increase my calories to 1600/1650 a day to see if it helps. (i'll still be in a deficit but it won't be so aggressive)

My partner and I now have a week off, before I start the new job, so i'll likely exceed my daily calories this week, as you can't have a week off without cake and treats 🤣

Happy 1st September!

After the company I worked for sadly went into liquidation last month, i've started studying for my AAT qualification in Accountancy.

My intention was to take a few months off to get my teeth into studying...but I've been 'head hunted' and i've now got a new job starting in a couple of weeks 😬😆

Here is to new beginnings!

1.1lb off this week! 😃

After being slightly disappointed with my weight loss over the past month, I decided to 'rip off' the proverbial 'sticky plaster' and drop my calories by another 100 a day.

This week I averaged 1467 calories a day, and around 7500 steps a day.

This is the lowest my calories have been, but also my step/activity is still a lot lower.

Has it been easy?...nope...but then nothing worth having is ever easy!

Going to eat, sleep and repeat and see what the next week brings.

Reduced my calories this week (averaged 1537 a day) and still only lost 0.4lb 🙄

My hip flexors/quad muscles on my right leg are still causing me grief, but averaged around 7k steps a day.

Weight loss seems painfully slow at the moment (averaging at around a quarter of a pound a week)

The 'old' me would have thrown in the towel by now and consoled myself with as much chocolate as possible! 🫣

The 'new' me still wants to throw in the towel and eat the chocolate, but knows the scales are not always a true reflection of fat loss.

So for now i'll put the scales on the naughty step and ignore them until they learn to be nice 🤣
