Went to new york for an holiday. Couldn’t possibly eat healthy… all their food is high in fat or high in carbs, and I couldn’t find a supermarket to buy my some healthy food…
As I was staying in a hotel, I had to eat out every day. I’ve calculated, if I had eaten all the food I’ve had for breakfast, lunch and diner, I’d be totaling a massive 7000 calories a day… I just chose to eat only half of the food.
Nevertheless, I still gained 2kg…
Now weighing in for this month: 134.8kg…
This week, due to unexpected extra workload, I had to do overtime at work. Which eventually lead to tiredness all week long…
Even though I still managed to squeeze in cardio, HIIT-cardiosessions and weight training the first 4 days of the week. But today, friday, I’m just too tired. And to make things worst, I could not gather up the willpower to keep an eye on my food intake.
Luckily, I guess because of the workout, I still managed to burn away 0.5kg, now weighing 134.5kg. Meaning I’ve lost 8.5kg so far in 8 weeks.
But from next week on, it’d be easier to stay on the food track, as my parents will be gone on a holiday for 2 months. Meaning no more “normal” food as diner for me. I’ll replace that with a preworkout and postworkoutshake. I’ll take the rest of my food during lunch at work.
According to the theory, when you don’t get enough sleep (8 hours a night) your body produces cortisol which practically directs everything you eat into your belly fat…
Well, even if it wasn’t for the cortisol, I really should get enough sleep. The first 3 weeks of the months, I had at least 9 hours of sleep nightly. But this week, due to personal circumstances, I only manged to get 6-7 hours of sleep at night.
Although I still managed to lose weight, it’s fluctuating. And also…without enough sleep, it really comprehends my strength… working out is much more tedious and I don’t have half the strength of previous weeks.
I’ve spent the weekend finding healthy food to eat and kitchen apparatus that could make healthy cooking easier.
These are the result:
Indvidually packed fullgrain cookies with lessened sugar. (handy as snacks between breakfast, lunch and diner)
Besides these food products, I’ve also bought a new kitchen utensil. A Philips ContactGrill. I actually wanted a George Foreman grill, but they are hard to come by where I live, so I just bought the Philips grill, which should also help prepare less fatty food.
Will put it to the test this weekend.
