Yip it really was a 13.5lbs (6.12 kg) loss this week! But, I did put on 7.5 lbs (3.40 kg) last week which was caused by Water Retention, Congestion (from my cold), Constipation and very little exercise last week. In stark contrast to this week where there is No Water Retention, Constipation, I'm over my cold and not only have I been exercising, but I did do a Duathlon on Saturday which must have nuked a good few lbs/kg! :)

Speaking of my Duathlon, ;) I rocked! I commited to this Duathlon about 4 or 5 months ago and have never done anything like it before. I knew I would be able to run 10km and cycle 40km, but never tried both as part of the same activity. Initially I set a simple goal to just FINISH. Then I thought about the last event I entered, a 5km run and remembered how I was not only last but the person in front of me finished in about 30 min and I came rolling in at 46 min! :s It was so embarrassing! So I set myself a secondary goal to NOT BE LAST! Then closer to the date I started thinking about times, and figured at my fast pace I should be able to finish the entire thing in 3 hours so set it as my Third Goal. So I looked up the previous years results and saw that the last people to get in were finishing in about 3 hours. :S It was going to be a struggle to achieve the second goal and I may have to do better than the 3rd goal to achieve it!
Goal1: Finish = Check!
Goal2: Not Last = Check!
Goal3: < 3hrs = Check! (2:56:06)

Positives and Negatives of the last two weeks:
+ Amazed at the 13.5 lbs Loss, my biggest loss in a week yet!
+ Finished my first Celebration event (Duathlon) achieving all 3 Goals I set for it.
- Silly Big Gain which despite the valid reasons for them was still a big gain! :(

Goals for this week:
1) Keep at 100% Food Optimising!
2) 2/3 Super Frees on as many meals as possible.
3) Eat More to make up for the exercise I'm doing.
4) Full week of posting Food and Exercise on http://www.myfitnesspal.com/.

I'm not sure what to exepect this week so I joined the 2 lbs club and will hope to hit that.
