Sabotage is a deliberate action aimed at weakening another entity through subversion, obstruction, disruption, or destruction

That’s what I’ve done this week. Self-sabotage. I am the saboteur. How did I do it? I went to the grocery store for milk and minced garlic. I got those AND a pack of pink iced buns because they were on special for 99c. Deal huh? Do you know what I told myself? Oh I’ll take them to work and share them…huh yeah right. I ate one on the way home from the supermarket and TWO on the way home from work this afternoon. I don’t know why I do this to myself, it’s not even like I’ve been making great progress!

This is really something I need to work on :(

It’s weigh in day tomorrow, I did a sneaky weigh in this morning and I’d gained 300 grams! Serves me right for being sneaky. I hope it’s a better result tomorrow.

I’ve been to the gym twice this week and I’m aiming to go tomorrow night too which will make it 3 nights, one up from last week.

At the gym on Monday I managed to do the following in 45 mins;

  • Run – 0.8km in 7.41mins PLUS .41km in 4 mins = 1.21km!!!
  • Cycle –  1.3km in 5 mins
  • Plank – 2 x 20 secs
  • Swiss Ball Sit-Ups – 45 reps
  • Push Ups (knee position) – 3 x 15 reps
  • Dips – 2 x 15 reps
  • Burpees – 0
  • Squat/Lunge Combo – 20

So I missed out on the Burpees but I did cycle a bit further and ran faster in the first 0.8km which meant my time was shorter and then ran another short distance :) I am proud of that! I kept saying in my mind “each step is further than last time” so I just did as much as I could knowing it was still an improvement..go me!

On Wednesday I cycled 2.72km in 10 mins on the same setting as I usually do. Along with some walking on the treadmill and some arm work on the weight machines.

Eating, well obviously that hasn’t been the greatest has it?  But as they say 80% is still better than 0% and I reckon I managed to be 80% “good”.

Ah well, onwards and upwards, well, downwards in the weight department hopefully!

Ta ta for now.
