Dear oh dear. More pathetic news with the weigh in this month. Let's just get on with it.
1st June - 79.5kg (12 stone 7.3lbs)
1st July - 85kg (13 stone 5.4lbs)
1st August - 85kg (13 stone 5.4lbs)
Pathetic isn't it? ABSOLUTELY PATHETIC!!! Especially when you hear what happened last month. Things were going brilliant in the first three weeks of July. Three weights sessions a week, two running and one football. Plenty of exercise and spot on food habits. Decent amount of protein, less carbs, no more than 2000 calories. In fact I was doing so well, I got down to 80.9kg in July. 80.9KG!!! AND I ENDED THE MONTH ON 85KG!!! WHAT?!?
Everything I had achieved in three weeks was undone by just over a week of binging, take aways, chocolates, ice cream, junk and booze. It's put me back to where I started (I'm counting July 1st as the real start of this challenge). A second month goes by and here I am saying the same thing, 'I'll do better next month' yaddah yaddah yaddah.
There IS NO CHOICE now. I have a the next 5km run on the way in the next few weeks, I have about ten weeks to go until that massive 10km challenge and this is all preparation for the Three Peaks mountain climbing challenge next year. I need to go cold turkey. Straight. Just get on with it.
Positives I can take away from last month include the fact that I lost over 4kg's in three weeks. Since I've got a lot of excess flab on me now, it should hopefully work out the same over the next three weeks. Another thing I was impressed was during those three weeks, I went out twice to a restaurant and made brilliant choices. One was for dinner, so I had a big chicken salad with water and no carbs because it was at night, and one was for lunch, so I had chicken and brown rice with water. These are exactly the things I would eat at home and I took that template with me when eating out. At least there are some good things to take away from last month.
I'll check in a few days time and let you know how I'm getting on. 5km training later on today.

Maybe you should rely on a Body Mass Index (at Boots) rather than checking your weight.
ReplyDeleteProtein weighs more than fat, so maybe ... just maybe you have put on more muscle in July than in June!
Alternatively you should rely on waist measurements maybe?!!
Hmmmm I know what you mean. I know a body builder would be overweight on BMI because he would be more muscular and that weighs more than fat.
ReplyDeleteThe reason I'm sticking with weight so far is that I know I have a lot of excess flab. I think once I get beyond that, then I'll have to reconsider how I track my progress, because ideally I'd be wanting to put weight on (as muscle).
