Bushwalk today - second part of the Great North Walk that I'd planned to do last weekend, but ran out of steam.
And thank fuck because if I'd continued, the last 3km of this walk would have finished me.
In their wisdom, the creators of the fire trail/service track going up to Thornleigh Oval decided it was just quicker to dump a bunch of rocks over a 2km stretch. And then of course some psycho MTB types thought it was hilarious fun to ride it!
-
Rolled my ankle yesterday so bad I thought I was going to hit the deck. Fuck I'm old.
Having said that, I pulled up OK from the bushwalk on the weekend compared to the week before, but just haven't gone out because I'm lazy and work / wife is giving me the shits, and now the ankle
In a bit of a hole mentally and need to dig myself out.
-
Decided to go to the gym for the first time since they reopened - weather is fucking miserable, I can't run, and so maybe lifting a bit of weight would help reset. With no meetings for a 2-hour slot (Wednesdays are a fluffybunny otherwise) I got in for a quick sesh.
Chinups, bench, sled, standing cable rows, incline dumbells, and a set of deadlifts to finish off.
Given it has been months since I did any free weights, I'll probably be a bit tight tomorrow. But I've got another free slot in the middle of the day to go back and blow out the DOMS.

Shit week due in part to the ankle - at the same time I rolled it, I grazed a good portion of skin off the outside of my foot which means I can't wear closed-in shoes with any comfort. Running and walking therefore off the table, as it won't heal due to friction.
I did one gym session on Tuesday this week. And ate badly the rest of the time.
Hopefully only a couple of days until the skin heals over and I can get back into it. Should mean the bloat disappears and I can finish the last 2 weeks of this sprint with enough activity and mental fortitude to get under 104kg.

@nta you tracking your intake of calories?
If you are honest with yourself it stops snacking as you have to then enter it on your phone haha
I weighed out 12g of these last night

There’s a ridiculous number of options for chippies these days, it’s a far cry from Salt and Vinegar, Ready Salted and Chicken.
I’ve gotta be careful when I spy them in the Supermarket so as I don’t get too many of them.

No, because that is mental. Example:

See?
Savoury isn't my issue: sugar is.
I know exactly what I'm doing wrong, and I know exactly how to avoid it. But my headspace isn't right to actually carry through right now due to work, wife, and injury.
Two weeks from now I'll be celebrating the end of this run with the knowledge I've lost ~4kg from the 107.8kg I started with back in September. Right now tho I'm struggling to give a fuck.

@nta point is I felt like some chips that were sitting in the pantry last night calling to me, but in having some I weighed them out to make sure I didnt have too many, far too easy to smash half a bag and there goes 400cals.
I've lost 4.8kg in similar period, and I have carried on eating what I want, but when I have treats, I record it so I can see the numbers and then I'm like, maybe I'll only have half that donut/cake...
For me it helps me, keep me accountable.

Stop buying donuts. I hope this advice helps.
But seriously, I don’t crave sweet stuff and don’t understand those that do but I do sympathise.

12gms??? What's that, like 5 chips???
Fck that - I'm still (deludedly) clinging to the hope that I can exercise my way out of my bad diet
And since you're asking, no, it's not working.
