I spent last week in Munich attending work internal meetings and I got a bit too wild. Oktoberfest was in full swing and spent two nights there, the first one in a large tent where I barely touched any alcohol, and the second in a small posh tent where champagne (Ruinart) was literally flowing from 3 liters bottles. I touched no water. All was good until I left with another (female) partner to walk back to the hotel. There are no cabs in Munich during Oktoberfest, and the hotel was a good 40 minutes away. The first half was okay, then I started stumbling. At some point there were stairs and I missed one step, luckily near the bottom, but that was not cool. After that, I'd rather not tell.
The next day was literally awful, but at least that night I went back home.
Can you tell I'm overwhelmed by work? I also had a nasty cold for the last 25 days, which did not help.
I'm still trying to train but of course I have not kept up with the usual schedule of 6 trainings a week. Hopefully I'm getting back to it.
On a better news, on Sunday I was alone at the gym (husband had too much of a cold to come) and I suddenly realized as I was putting weights back in the rack that from a profile my 6 pack if finally noticeable. Front view we're still not there, but side view it's literally impossible to miss.
This was pretty much the highlight of the month together with the Anyma show I went to with my nephew.
Weight wise: 57.5kg or 126.8lbs. BMI: 19.9
and yet my waist is slimmer than it was 10 years ago at a lower weight - my arms are bigger, which sucks but I guess if I insist with the pull-ups this is what I get. I have the dietician appointment next Monday and am in line with the target he gave me - let's see how it goes.

Ever thought about cutting out the alcohol? Just wondering.
I am barely drinking these days - I think it was the third (and last) time in September I had ANY alcohol, and one time it was one glass of wine :-) Typically in the last few months I think I've had alcohol 4 or 5 times a month, and each time it was one or max two glasses of wine. I've also stopped the vaping entirely. So I think it's okay, I was just too tired and slipped a little
I wonder if a break in training would help you recover from the cold? 25+ days sounds like a nightmare.
Love the non-scale victories! Do you take measurements? I find it can be even more helpful than the scale for tracking changes.
Good luck with the dietitian! xx
Thanks darling <3 finally rid of the cold! Measurements... I try avoiding that as I find them triggering some unhappiness (I am broad shouldered, and that will not change).
