Each Wednesday until Christmas we’d like you to “weigh” in and tell us about a goal you’ve accomplished, a milestone, anything that will push you to go a little further on your weight loss path. Add your post link to the bloghop and let’s help each other get back on track. (for our non-blogging friends, you are welcome to add your goals in the comments section).

Some questions to think about:
.
What worked well for you this week (please share as your tip might help someone else)?
What setbacks did you have and how did you go with them?
How did you feel physically and mentally during the week?
What are your personal goals for this coming week? Note that they don’t have to be only related to food and exercise. Getting a hold on a source of stress is just as valid, as is finally speaking with the person who has been causing you grief. Our weight issues are multi-faceted.

My Experience of the Last Week
I have had a week of struggling. We’ve been so busy moving furniture out of the lounge / office, painting, getting curtains cleaned, carpet laid and new couches delivered …. that plus everything else that goes with this time of year and well, it’s lead to poor food choices.
The poor choices always seem to go hand in hand with my fatigue levels – looking for that quick burst of energy or that comfort from feeling knackered, but still having to soldier on. It’s all ‘fueled’ by my sugar addiction too, which is deadly for Candida (which has flared up more too). So, I must say I feel almost like I’m back to square one …. like I felt before losing the 12 Kg. But, in trying to be positive, I lost a heap of weight in the first 4 weeks of my weight loss journey and I can do it again ready for Christmas!
So, for my week, what went well was consistently drinking 2-3 litres of water each day. Filling up water bottles for each day and putting them in the fridge ready for our hot days seems to be working well for me.
The major hiccup was that my diet went down the tubes for a bit (just didn’t keep up the low carb / no sugar approach). I went into ‘survival’ mode, eating what was easy rather than what was good. I had more carbs, even including pasta, which is something I haven’t had in a while, and the overall feeling from this, after the initial burst of energy, is just drained. I love my carbs, but I just don’t seem to be able to balance my energy levels well with it in my diet at the moment.

I felt physically and mentally done in by the week and really dis-empowered, like I just couldn’t be bothered. Like I’d had enough and just want a fairy godmother to wave her wand and fix it for me! I’m waking up way too early as well and that is not helping with energy levels during the day either. I really have to sort out my handling of stress for it is such a trigger!
This week I want to focus on getting back to basics – diet (eliminating sugar / low carb), exercise (because I feel good when I do it) and using my spreadsheet.

Hope everyone has a week full of scale and non-scale victories!
