And acknowledging a gain… The inevitable happened. I am now sitting steady with a gain. There is no denying it. You would think those last 5kgs would be easy to lose, after all the weight I have lost (20kg give or take)… But, it IS hard.
And my problem is, that I am now facing my busiest time of year. I wanted to exercise this weekend, but when I actually have time to stop for 20 minutes, I am exhausted. I know it sounds ridiculous, but I worked until 12am last night. So yeah, I could have got up and pushed through this morning, but my body is screaming, no. Instead, I need coffee… and more work done.
I guess some people would just say that I need to make it more of a priority – and yes, right now I would have to admit that my priorities are deadlines, and completing my degree *this* year.
Although I don’t want to go backwards – I just don’t think I have the time to continue at the level I was at (5x workouts per week + recording all intake).
So what to do? I don’t want to restrict myself too much, or just give up either.
Work will continue to be a priority, but for now I plan to make a Step class, Yoga class and Pump class each week. If I can handle it, a fourth session must involve cardio. If I miss any, it will be replaced with a Shred session.
Still looking at a minimum of 3x workouts per week, but hopefully a bit more achievable.
