Battle of the Bulge
I'm a little mifted today, I have been dieting all last week and week before and i've been really good. We went out for a massive long cycle ride yesterday which was an all round trip from our condo buildings along the river and it totaled to 32km's.
The trails were hard work at times because we went off the beaten track a little and racer bikes don't cut the mustard on dirt tracks. You really need a mountain bike for that kind of stuff.

It was hot and sweaty, and half way in I was wondering why the hell I had decided for us to cycle so far, I was wanting to make it 40km's in total but I think I might have killed both of us by then!

There were some nice spots to admire the city.
Down town Edmonton
And some tricky spots for getting up and down the trail, especially with bikes in your hands!!

By the time we got back home we hurt so much and we were so tired. The night before was a friends birthday party, I had been so good and taken my healthy calorie regulated food with me. Much to everyones amuzement, and yes there was a little teasing going on about it.
Last night we decided to go for a Chinese, I had a seafood and noodle dish thinking I was playing safe with my diet only to my dismay when I stepped on the wii this morning it says i've gain 2lbs!!!!! I was so mortified. I've been steadly losing 0.7 lbs each day and now it's saying plus. I feel I've just wasted all that hard 32km cycle ride and not gained anything from it.
The plan tonight is go out on the bike again, I have to suffer what i've done and get back to square one. It's taught me a lesson and to be honest I wasn't really that confident about going out yesterday at all because of this reason. Anyway, I think I will suffer because my ass hurts from yesterday.
So the moral of the story is, if you want to lose the weight, do not under any circumstances eat out. There's just no way of knowing how many calories are in the food or control of potion size. I did bring home a doggy bay for lunch because I didn't manage it all but it's going straight in the garbage, and I've missing out my breakfast. It appears I don't really need the calories, do I.

You
| shouldn't weigh yourself everyday as your weight fluctuates through the week - weigh on one day a week only - that extra 2lb will vanish asap x |

Don't weigh yourself so often and don't forget that muscle weighs more than fat. You'll be miserable if you are totally regimented 24/7, be really good for 6 days and allow a treat on the 7th or good for 3 days, a 'nice' day and then 3 days good. If you get too regimented you'll start to hate it.
Good luck. |
