September Weigh In

It's the first of the month, and time for another weigh in.

After stepping off the scales this morning, I weighed in at 84.1kg, 0.9kg less than last month. Here's how it stands so far:

1st June - 79.5kg (12 stone 7.3lbs)
1st July - 85kg (13 stone 5.4lbs)
1st August - 85kg (13 stone 5.4lbs)
1st September - 84.1g (13st 3.40lbs)

Now I've got mixed emotions today. I guess I should be happy that I've managed to at least lose some weight, albeit a very very small amount. Unfortunately though, August was another one of those months where I actually got my weight down to roughly 80kg. It took about 2-3 weeks to do it, and then it just took the remainder of the month to put all the crap back on.

I went away for the second to last weekend of August, but here's the problem. I binged about a day before I went away (there was no need to), totally drank and ate lots of rubbish while there and then carried it on for the rest of the week and following weekend. Basically, I only got my act together on Monday just gone.

When you compare the weight to what it was in June, I am still technically going backwards. The only thing I can attribute it to is the food. Once I binge, I can't stop! As always, it's something I have to get under control myself.

Onto some positives now, my body is totally aching right now because I've still kept up with my exercise. Plenty of running and plenty of weight sessions. Even during that weekend that I was away, I found the gym and made sure I did plenty of running.

I've finished the football now. Part of this challenge was to get involved in a football tournament, which I did with my work lot. Unfortunately, we didn't make it beyond the group stage so it had a pretty abrupt ending. To replace that now, I'll be starting Kung Fu tomorrow. I used to do it about ten years ago and thought I'd take it up again because I know it will help with my flexibility. I'm looking forward to it. It's late tomorrow night so will let you know on Friday how it was.

Finally, my arms are looking as big as they've ever looked. Don't get me wrong, I'm not talking Arnie arms here. I think I may have added roughly about half an inch to them. It's not a big amount, but it's definitely spurring me on because as I said, they're looking the best they've ever looked.

Got the next 5km coming up soon, so training for that too.

Will update you on Friday with the Kung Fu.

I may have some recruits for the Three Peaks Challenge next year too! That should be fun.
