Something for the weekend.

Tuesday, November 17th, 2009

I did a little experiment last week to confirm what I thought was the reason I’m putting the weight back on.

Daily Weigh InIt’s the weekend that is causing me all the hassle.

It seems that I’ve fallen back into an old trap.  The graph above is a daily weigh in throughout last week.  It’s pretty obvious to see that as I go through the week I do well and lose weight and then it gets to Friday night and I start piling it back on again.

Now all of that can’t be fat, I find it difficult to believe you can lose 2kg in fat and then put it all back on again in a week.  However, it does bring home the fact that I haven’t been as disciplined as I should have been during the weekends.

Now that I’ve confirmed this I’ll be making a special effort not to make the same mistake again.  It’s going to be tough since it’s the run up to Christmas but I really want to see the year out at 100kg.

Phase 2b (?) Week 2.

Monday, October 26th, 2009

At the end of week 2 of phase 2b I’ve lost the weight I gained last week.

So good news then.  Thankfully!  Last week I really got back into the swing of my gym routine.  It’s been a while since I made it to the gym 4 times in one week but last week I managed it.  I even got back to a Thursday spin class and remembered why I love it so much.  Having said that, goading the instructor probably wasn’t my finest moment and I was hurting a little bit on Friday.

Since I put on weight and then had to lose it again I’m around 2kg away from where I should be right now.  The timelines I’ve set myself in the run up to Christmas are pretty tight so if I slack off again then I may not make my goal.

I also need to get round to setting out my goals.  I’ve decided what the goals are, 102.5kg, 100kg, 97.5kg and 95kg and I’ve decided that the rewards will be a CD, a threadless t-shirt, a piano lesson or two and a martial arts lesson.  All I need to do know is figure out the details so I know they are solid rewards.  I need to decide which CD, which t-shirt, who is going to give me the piano lesson and when and how I can squeeze a martial arts lesson into my day which already has a massive commute in it.

So here’s looking forward to another good week this week.  I’m aiming for 103kg but I think that might be a bit too much so my fall back withh be 104kg.

Wish me luck,

Sid.
