2 reasons I'm not training today, 1) yesterday I did a lot, and had some bad back pain last night, though I feel okay but not great today; 2) I did a lot of walking outside today! It was a beautiful day out, 24 degrees and not a cloud in the sky, so Daisy and I went to the park. We walked around and took some pictures of flowers and animals, then sat down on a hill to read and relax for a bit. Then we walked over to my friend April's place and back home, so that's quite a bit of walking. I don't want to not be able to move tomorrow. But I did weigh-in and I've lost 0.7kg since Wednesday. My weight goes up and down a lot so I'm not sure how significant that is, but it's better than gaining.

I was actually keen for this tonight. Almost rushed home from work. It does kinda suck that I am doing this alone at home and so have no one to challenge so I am instead aiming for 4 stars in any activity until moving on to the higher level. For some things this is easy (jackknifes being one of them) other not so much (cue anything with balance required) but I will get there and get better.

The simple test today also showed some shocking/surprising results - I am 1.2kg lighter today than yesterday, wearing the same clothes and not really eating much differently. Strange but nice.

I don't feel fat but I know I have been slacking and I am now at my heaviest I have ever been. I have no real idea how I packed on quite so much in such a short space of time, especially as things looked so well just 3 weeks ago.

So back to the drawing board, re-schedule my life to make more room for exercise and more food journaling. I have cooked healthfully for the month and it is all in my freezer so I wont be eating out much, which should help. Getting lunch each day from mom is also helping me to not hit the take out places at lunchtime BUT stress has been through the roof and I so need to find a better alternative to chocolate for me to feel better.

Despite work-stress, hormonal issues and the kgs of chocolate I consumed this last week as a result, without much time to even think about exercising in between all the rushin to get places, my weight is down AND I made my 2 week goal of losing 1.4kgs. This is good news. Actually this is awesome news!

Not much else to report here so just the stats:
Weight: 92.1kg
BMI: 31.87

So back again after a week of rushing around and very little time at home. Weight has dropped a little - I'll give thanks to possibly working out a lunch and eating out solution that doesn't layer on the calories and tracking what I am eating through livestrong.com.

Still trying to form healthy habits but it is back to the doc next week for more tests and to see what went wrong with the thyroid meds he gave me that I now have insomnia but otherwise don't feel any different. I seriously should be shedding weight by now - it has been 9 weeks.
