So... what have you been doing the last 10 days? I've just been walking, eating, drinking water... that's pretty much it. I set those habits two weeks ago and am proud to say I've been doing super well. Most days I'm drinking 2 litres of water in addition to a can or two of Pepsi Max, making my 10,000 steps, and making a conscious effort to move for 30 minutes each day. I'm not doing so well on the eating under calories (only been successful on 5 out of 15 days), but it's better than a month ago where I would say I was over calories on 30 out of 30 days. MFP says that too.
I've been getting stuck into the Preseason Tasks with the 12WBT - these are exercises that you do, videos to watch, notes to make - in order to be completely ready when the round kicks off on March 24. I'm trying to take a look at my habits from an outsider's perspective, and it's proving to be quite informative. Every time I've gone off the rails with my food over the last 15 days, it's because I haven't stuck to my plan. I've either ended up in a supermarket when I'm ravenous and bought too much food (and then eaten it because otherwise it would be a waste), or I've been out for the day and haven't thought about what I should eat in advance and made bad decisions.
What does this tell me? Avoid the freakin' supermarket, and take (or buy!) a sandwich when you're out. It's not that hard.
The good news is that even with some bad food days (and not terribly bad, just eating at BMR instead of reducing it), I've lost 2.5kg in the last two weeks. I've just got to stay on track with the good habits and not let the bad habits sneak back through, and the weight will be melting off me. In 6 months time, when we start trying to expand our family (babies! yay!), my weight will not be the thing that is holding us back...
