Today I am very motivated (mainly because I am writing this after a run) as I have managed to go to the gym for the second of my three runs a week.

I am happy that I managed to do 2.97km in 30mins and strangely this has given me lots of motivation to stick it out with the food today.

I weighed in today at 18st 9.5lb which is again only a 1/2lb weight loss since the weekend but I am hopeful that this should change by the end of the week due to exercise and no beer.

Thanks

I am actually writing this the day after so I cant remember my mood, however I do remember my weight and that was 18st 9.5lb a half a pound loss.

Nothing much else to say

Today I am super motivated as I managed to wake up at 6.30 and head to the gym where I did an amazing 2.8km in 30 minutes, doesn’t sound like a lot especially when I need to be doing double that within 8 weeks if I am ever to do my first 5KM event but it is certainly a good start.

My first weeks progress sees me weighing in at 18st 10lb which meant I lost nothing over the weekend (as expected)

Thats all for now a very happy and pumped

I am not in the most motivational mood today although still very happy with the current weight loss. I weighed in at 18st 10lb today and although I am not very motivated I have come up with a plan for exercise especially given that I am on a course all next week and its at Ullesthorpe Court hotel where we have free gym membership.

Tomorrow will be the official one weeks weigh in so I am hoping for that extra pound off for tomorrow although I’d be happy with the 6lb I have lost already.

That’s all for today

So today I have been thinking about the last weeks food and it’s clear to see that alcohol plays a big part here although I don’t usually drink in the week and am just getting rid of everything left over from Xmas, with that being said I work it out to be over 3000 Calories which would have made a big difference on the week although today weighing in at 18st 10lb means I have lost another 1lb and a total of 6lb this week.

My fat percentage is down to 44% which I think was 46% when I started so that is definitely progress.

My mood today is very positive and I am sure I can lose another pound before my 1st weeks registered weigh in on Monday which would put me at half a stone for a week, fantastic I think, just need to get on with exercising and I should be able to continue the loss.

In a positive mood today even though I weighed in at 18st 11lb which is the same as yesterday. I kind of knew if I had lost 5 lb in a few days that it would have to plateu and with the added snack I had yesterday this was bound to happen (the culprit was probably the fudge which is about 10 spoons of sugar haha). It could also have been not eating until 11:30, I know you have to kick start your body with breakfast and that meant I lost 4 hours of good metabolic magic.

However, with that being said I am looking forward to the weekend and we don’t have much cash which means the temptation to go eat out is beyond our budget and this can only help my progress.

I will be calling the gym today to see if my membership still exists and if it does then I’ll be using their running machines instead of my home one.

Thanks
