Thursday Check-in

Yet another crazy week! This week I spent 2 days in the Blue Mountains for a work retreat and 3 days in Perth for work. So to say things are a little crazy at the moment is an understatement, but only another 2 weeks and then things will settle down!

This week I aimed to get my 6 days of exercise in and was completely successful! Even if 2 days were only a 30 minute walk.

Monday - None
Tuesday - Run (530 cals)
Wednesday - Walk (131 cals)
Thursday - Walk (399 cals)
Friday - Run (400 cals)
Saturday - Sand Hill Sprints (767 cals)
Sunday - Walk (131 cals)

I wasnt too happy this week with my calorie control - 167 calories over my net goal but Wednesday was the main culprit - a flight to Perth cost me 1988 calories! eep!

So, what am I doing to keep things under control when I am travelling? I know that I struggled a lot when I was first travelling and so hopefully this will help.

- Pop into a supermarket when you arrive and pick up some low-calorie breakfast options - I usually go with fruit, yoghurt and chia seeds. (I also buy a container too if they are cheap, or bring one with me).

 

- Exercise every day: this will help you get on track for the day. It is a lot easier to say no to that extra chai latte when you know the hard work you did that morning.
- Eat at meal times: I find when I travel I dont have access to a meal so I wait and get really hungry then I find myself making bad choices - pick up some snacks at the shops that you can munch on if needed like nuts, fruit or health bars.

Also, get as much sleep as possible! I get so run down when I am on the road because I stay up late working when I really dont need to be!

This week I was actually up :-( It was only 2 pounds (1kg) but it is a little sad... Although I will leave you with this beautiful sunset photo from my Tuesday evening run when I came home.
