THE FITNESS DIARIES NO. 15

Morning all,
This week I've been really stuck with the weight loss. I understand it's not all about the number and I'm not going to lose weight every week but I'm just stuck at the same number and it's really demotivating when you aren't seeing all your hard work pay off. Unfortunately, I can't have a cheat day for TWO WHOLE WEEKS now due to my Chicken and Waffles on Saturday and it was my Grandma's birthday on Monday so we went out for tapas. I have no idea how I'll manage without a cheat day, give me strength.

Overview: Ok, so as you can see I said at the start of the week I wasn't having any cheat days, then I had tapas for my Grandma's birthday, a BBQ and two days of left over burgers after that BBQ so I'm already not off to a good start as far as food goes. Furthermore, after my BBQ on Thursday, my friends left me with FOUR OPEN BOTTLES OF COKE (this is an OCD nightmare) so I had to attempt to get rid of some of them by having 1 glass a day (2 in total).

Weight loss: 0lbs

Total weight loss: -4lbs

As you can see, despite my cardio getting faster and feeling stronger during strength training, YOU CAN'T OUT EXERCISE A BAD DIET. This week hasn't been disastrous, but it hasn't been my finest as far as eating goes. The drinking, BBQs and coca cola really hasn't helped and I honestly regret it because I probably would have lost weight without them. Oh well, every new day is a new start.
