This is the second week of increased weight though the gain this time is higher than the last. There were a few factors that may have contributed to this - as usual related to drinking, eating and moving.
Dry January / Wet February
For the first time ever I maintained a #DryJanuary with absolutely no alcohol passing my lips. The drought ended in February and although the first week had little affect last Friday was a bit of a rock 'n' roll night - as my Twitter or Instagram streams would testify.I was still drinking water like a boss at the same time but I did hit the quince gin quite hard :-)
Bad Eating
Although I am steadfastly maintaining my vegetarian diet I have a couple of weaknesses. One of my meat replacements in my stir fries are cashew nuts. The odd handful is OK, but I cannot resist them - they are almost as moreish to me as crisps.
The week ended with pizza on Friday and a (bean) burger & (sweet potato) fries on Saturday. Hardly super healthy though it could have been worse.
Moving A Bit
As you can see from the graphic below February has been more active with regards to daily steps (10 000 target) - however this is not the whole story.
Prior to October there were more greens than blues but I wasn't doing any sort of activity. As of today I have done 43 home gym workouts in a row - every day this year.
The Silver Lining: 3 Positives
So despite a, hopefully, small blip this week, there are quite a few things to keep me going towards my weight target for this year.- It is only 0,5 kg, and it could simply be an extra glass of water retained
- Gains seem to come after larger weight loss in the prior week, I lost over a kilo
- Still on target overall
How's your February going?
