100.5kg.  Come ON!!!!

Well it seems like a week of walking has a bit of a delayed effect.  1.5kg in a week is pretty good.

That puts my goal of 100kg within sniffing distance.  0.5kg in a week should be acheivable if I don’t start gorging myself on pies and cakes.  I do however seem to have given myself an extra week on my chart though.  It’s my birthday next Monday, week 22, which means I should hit my target but for some reason I have a week 23.

At the minute I’m trying to decide my next challenge for weight loss.  I’ve dropped 13% of my body weight in the last 6 months but I’m not quite done.  I’m over the moon but I’m not where I thought I would be.  I set my final reward as being a nice suit but I don’t think I deserve it just yet.  The problem is I have lost most of my weight around my chest and legs and most places other than my belly.  So whilst I’ve lost some round the belly I need to lose more before I look as good in a suit as I want to.  More on that later.

So the plan for this week is to hit the gym and shift that extra 0.5kg.

Wish me luck.

Howdy folks.

Apologies for the lack of graph last week but here is the updated one for this week.

You’ll see it’s changed a little bit.  That’s because I’ve switched jobs and don’t have Excel anymore so it’s in Google Docs.  That’s not important though, the important thing is that the red line stays underneath the blue line and this last week hasn’t helped that at all.

Again, there’s no excuses for the weight gain.  I know what I’ve done wrong.  I’ve been away at home, I went on holiday over the weekend and generally I haven’t been very good.  The thing now is to get it put right.  I’m so close to hitting my target weight that I don’t want anymore little blips.

The plan for this week is to try and get settled into my new routine.  Starting a new job in London means getting a new gym and getting a new routine.  I’m aiming for back down to 103.5kg this week.

This weeks, slightly delayed, weigh-in was 104.5kgs.  That’s a gain of a kilo again.  It’s slightly…

Wow, today has been a very busy day for me today and I was up at the crack of dawn to head into London.

For those who don’t know I finished working for Pfizer and I start working for Headshift on April 15th.  That means big changes to my daily routine but I’m determined not to let that upset the great weight-loss I’ve managed so far this year.

So I was up this morning heading to various gyms, having a look around to see which one I fancied.  I’ll get to that in a later post but for now I should go for my weight-loss tracker.

Unfortunately no graph from me this week.  I used to put that together on my work PC and I’ve got it all on a memory stick but that doesn’t want to work with my new shiny Mac.

So, in big bold numbers my weight this morning was…

103.5kg

Not bad considering I didn’t make it to the gym much this week.  I did spend a lot of time tiling over the weekend and my legs feel like they’ve squatted their life out from all the bending down and crouching etc.

This week isn’t going to be good on the gym front either.  I’m away to see family for some of this week which means I’m away from the gym.  I thought I would squeeze some gym time in but then realised I forgot my trainers.  So I guess it’s just down to me watching my food intake and trying to be as active as possible while I’m away.  I’ll set the modest goal of 103kg for my next weigh in, whcih incidentally will be Tuesday since Monday is a bank holiday.

I frickin own this weight loss!

Well it comes as no surprise this week that I’ve gained a kilo.

I’d prepared myself for it.

|I’m still disappointed as it means I’m always going to struggle when I’m taken out of my normal environment.  This weekend was our trip to the Outdoor Show and also Michelle’s birthday.  It meant we ate out a lot and drank quite a lot and did very little exercise.

I was expecting the weight gain to be a lot more.  I switched from beers to wine and spirits for most of the weekend which is a little better.  I also tried to opt for the healthier options but the food was really rich.

My aim for this week is to shift that kilo I’ve gained and another one on top of that.  I’m aiming for 103.5kg next weigh in.

One thing is for sure, it gets more difficult to lose weight as you near your goal.  I wonder if that’s mainly psycological or if it’s physical too?
