I haven't blogged about anything else here on Segovia since my last 12WBT post. My exercise regime of getting up at 5:30am to hit the gym has meant that I am falling asleep on the couch before I have a chance to think about writing any other late night blog posts. Still, I feel good. I feel energised for much of my day and the high I experience when I arrive home from the gym post workout at 7am is slowly but surely becoming addictive.
The scales don't really tell the story I would like them to tell this week. I hopped on this morning and would you believe my weight has stayed exactly the same this week? Yes, that's right, no gain, no loss. Hmmmmmmmm.
This is what I did this week:
Thursday 29th - Gym (fitness session)
Friday 30th - Gym (fitness and strength session)
Saturday 1st - Gym circuit class (strength, cardio and core)
Sunday 2nd - Rest day (although I did do a big walk with the boys and the pram)
Monday 3rd - Gym cross trainer and treadmill (fitness)
Tuesday 4th - Gym cross trainer and weight work (fitness and strength); 2 hour walk pushing the pram
Wednesday 5th- Gym (fitness session)
Diet: I stuck to the 1200 calories per day every day except one. Saturday was Grand Final day here in Melbourne and I did have a glass of champagne and some potato chips. But that has been my only slip this week.
Weight loss from September 28th to October 5th - 0kg
Weight loss from April 14, 2011 - 10.7kg
I'm not disappointed with the no loss/no gain scenario, oh hell, maybe I am, but more than anything I am puzzled. I know that some weeks are better than others and I know this can happen but I just thought with all the hard work I would get a little better weight reward than this. Sigh.
Not having the result this week does make me more determined to get a good one at the next weigh in though. Wish me luck and if you have any theories on the no loss/no gain then I am all ears.
Don't ask me, I have no idea.
ReplyDeleteI do know though that you are putting in a lot of effort, and should be really, really proud.

Who knows why these things go like this with weight loss. Perhaps it has something to do with our hormones and cycle - oestrogen levels vs progesterone etc, thats why sometimes it is much better to look at weights over a 28 day timeframe rather than week to week. You might find next week when you jump on the scales you get a larger weightloss. The main thing is you havent put any weight on - and you have stuck to the exercise and eating programme! yay!! I am pretty impressed with your work outs - that programme looks pretty scary to me!
ReplyDeleteHave a great week!
Your body has probably gone into shock with all of that exercise! I think it's natural to feel disappointed that you are not seeing a difference on the scale - which is why I think taking waist/hips/bust/thigh measurements can tell a better story.
ReplyDeleteThe only time I've put in that much effort and had a zero result on the scale is when I haven't been counting calories properly - but I'm sure you've been doing that!
You'll probably just have a huge week next week.
impossible! How can this be. You are a fitness machine right now, I don't understand bodies sometimes, surely all this exercise should have brought on a reduction?
ReplyDeleteBut, the cardio and health benefits must be so marvelous for you, it really is about overall health, not just numbers.
Good luck for next week.
Look to the moon and the tides and your monthly cycle. It varies between all women, but I would put money on the fact that your no loss is actually water making it appear that you haven't lost weight. Your body fat WILL have reduced and your muscle % WILL have increased, which is all good. Hormonal cycles and bloating will be the cause of no loss, I reckon?
