Officially back on track

I weighed in today with 2.5kg loss- so back down to 70.5kg. I feel in a much better place to keep going onto my goal now. A few weeks ago when I weighed this weight, I didn't try to overcome any temptations, as I still wasn't in the right headspace. I feel much more confident that I can improve on this weight next week. I'm not going to stress myself out about it, like I did leading up to the UK trip. I'll be happy to chip away at it 0.5kg at a time. So that should have me at goal in 5 weeks time. I hope though it will be a little faster as I get right into my training for the next couple of weeks for the C2S. But on the other hand, I don't want to starve myself during this time to get a big loss if it means I'm not fuelling myself enough for my training. One of my workmates today told me she is so worried about how little I eat that she reckons one day she'll have to do first aid on me! I told her not to stress, as I am consuming more calories now than before the UK trip. I am also trying analyse my diet to address any deficiencies. I realise since I've been doing weight-loss for so long, I am probably quite low with my essential fatty acids, so this week coming I plan to eat some nuts and salmon to try to address that. I am probably low on iron, so looking to increase that as well. So see if that helps me feel a bit more lively!!!

Weight-loss is such a balancing act... I guess it comes down to making sure that everything that you put in your mouth is going to do something to contribute towards your nutrition. The other balancing act for me is with exercise- trying to increase my fitness without wrecking my body. I am suffering chronic pain in my hips, and have done for several months. It has increased in intensity as my running intensity has increased as well. So I am taking myself off to the physio next week to hopefully start finding a remedy for it. I just hope they don't tell me to rest for 6 weeks, since I have gone and put my C2S entry in.... fingers crossed!!
