Woke up pretty early this morning and I am in a good mood despite stepping on the scales at 18st 9.2lb an amazing 2lb above yesterday but I guess that’s just the weekend coming back to haunt me. I will be working extra hard this week to get down to 18st 3lb which would put me at a stone loss in 4 weeks, which isn’t so bad.

Breakfast

Crumpets and butter

Lunch

Mugshot

Dinner

Snacks

Exercise

Rest day.

Today is the 3rd week weigh in and I managed to cap off a horrible weekend with a 2lb loss weighing in at 18st 7.2lb now if id have stuck to my regime this week then I would have been down further but c’est la vie. I am once again very focused today despite struggling to have a run this morning (largely due to me being a little hungover) and I managed a paltry 20 minutes and 2.14km on the running machine.

I have decided if I am going to drop this weight then I have to stop drinking full stop, I probably drank around 10 pints over the weekend as well as a bottle of wine and a little vodka, not only is this not helping but it cant be doing my health any good either.

Breakfast

Nutrigrain

Lunch

Ham and Mustard cob, wholemeal bread. Brannigans beef and mustard crips

Dinner

Steak and Chips (Oven 5% Fat)

Snacks

2 x coffee, sugar, milk
Cheesecake Muller light Yoghurt (Fat Free)

Exercise

20 Mins 2.14km
5 mins on the X Trainer

Today is a good day, I woke up determined to get to the gym and stepped on to the scales to an amazing 18st 6.6lb which is an almost 4lb loss this week, now I expect it to yo yo a bit by tomorrow but even so if I can end the week at 18st 6lb i’d be happy I just have to focus and make sure it happens.

I have to deliver some training in London on Friday and that will be the biggest test as I have to find somewhere to eat and something good during the day.

Finally, I have been to the gym this morning and managed to do Week 2 Day 2 of my plan although I was once again, willing to give in before the 10 minute mark, this is definitely a common thing with the running and as long as I get past that, at 20 mins I feel great. The running has to be around 70-75% intensity and that must help.

Mood
Good

Breakfast
Cheerios with Milk

Lunch

Jacket Potato with Chicken and Bacon

Dinner

Home made extra lean mince burgers and home made oven chips.

Snacks

Large latte

Exercise
3.20KM – 30 Mins

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

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
