Wow… a week’s gone by…..
Quite a lot has happened this past week. I was logging on here to give some support to my Buddies, but I just didnt feel like blogging myself. I have been focusing on getting my act together after I saw that dreaded number…. sorry Nancy and Kama, I couldnt bring myself to say what it was… but I can now…. 72kg. I’ve decided to starting looking at my weight in kgs again because I want to focus on getting back to my fighting weight, and then lower… I want to try for the next lower weight by the time I’m ready to go back to proper training. My fighting weight for the Worlds was minus 63kg, and I weighed in at 61kg for that. The next lower weight is minus 57kg.
This morning I weighed in at 67.8kg, which was a total relief. My goal for this week was to get within the 67kg mark, so I just need to keep it steady this week and then aim for in and around the 66kg mark for next week. For those of you completely confused…. 2.2lbs = 1kg. So if I mention my weight in kg, just divide the number by 2.2 to see it in pounds. I’m not thinking about pounds for the time being… they’re too big a number!
Exercise-wise, it’s been a good 2 weeks. Last week I made it to the gym 4 times. Thought we were going swimming on Sunday, but we left it go too late and the pool was closed. Then on Sunday, Cathal broke the immersion in our flat, so we have no hot water for the next week or two until the plumber / electrician comes out to fix it. Which is why I have been to the gym every morning before work so far, and plan to make it there 5 days this week. Cathal’s been having cold showers every evening so far this week (serves him right the dunce!) and I dont fancy putting myself through that. So the hot showers in the gym after my workouts will do fine!
Eating-wise…. even when I was eating bad, I did good! Last week Cathal had a healthy dinner at home waiting for me when I got home from work (he gets home about an hour before me) and last weekend we cooked on saturday and on Sunday we shared a shop-bought pizza (each half was about 450 cal)…. no Dominos!!!! And last night, I really felt like ordering Dominos when cathal was at soccer training… but I got on the scale… saw 68kg and really wanted to see 67kg in the morning, so I didnt order Dominos, and had a veggie lasagne instead. Result = 67.8kg this morning!!!! Woohoo!!!!
What else has been happening? Well, I’m making a habit of having my lunch while I sit on reception from 1-2pm, and then during my lunch break from 2-3pm I go for a 30 minute walk. On the route there’s a Church and I’ve started going in there for a few minutes just to collect myself and for some peace and quiet. I used to do this all the time when I was younger. It’s really nice, you come away feeling refreshed. Still havent brought myself to go to mass just yet.. it is on the cards, but for the time being, I’m liking having my own time in the Church, saying the prayers I want to say for the people I want to say them for.
Anyhew…. thats that for now… going off to read a few blogs now before I have to start doing some serious work here at work. Later Buddies!!!
