Day 11

Matthew Hughes — Tue, 06 Mar 2012 09:56:56 +0000

Well today is a good day weighed in at 18st 9.5lb which represents a good loss which I wasn’t expecting, lets hope I can keep it up when I am off to London tonight

No gym today and nothing else of great value to add.

Banana for breakfast

Day 10

Matthew Hughes — Mon, 05 Mar 2012 08:44:41 +0000

Well here we go again,back to logging everything.

I went to the Gym this morning and ran 2.32km in 22 minutes but gave up due to the running machine suddenly feeling very unsafe, hard to explain but just know I wouldn’t have given up with only one more 45 second run and a warm down without feeling unsafe. Either way the run was a pretty good one for only 22 minutes.

I havn’t had anything to eat yet but I am determined to drink lots of water and get my metabolism going.

I’ll grab a Nutrigrain / coffee and a water and get this day started

18st 11lb – Need to focus this week and the weeks goal has to be 18st 7lb (-4lb)

Day 6

Today I woke up and for the second day, I managed to get to the gym, I will start to update my food, gym and all that jazz as of monday but for now I will say I am 18st 11lb and am hoping to have lost a few more by the start of next week, I have to see a real loss by 19th March otherwise it’s not going to be good.

Thanks

Matt

Day 1 (again?)

Matthew Hughes — Fri, 24 Feb 2012 15:40:35 +0000

OK so it’s been a tough month and along with my previous post (a couple of days ago) I am ready to get back on it.

I have been weighing myself the last few days and it went like this

22nd Feb – 19st 2lb
23rd Feb – 18st 13lb
24th Feb – 18st 12lb

I have also given up alcohol for Lent so I am hoping for a big loss over the next 40 days.

Watch this space.

Back on the game

Well in the last month Amys mum died, this had an effect on the positive progress I was making however, I am back on it as of tomorrow, I will be joining my local gym and will be setting off on a 8 week regime. More details will follow as I am currently in London town.

Day 23

Matthew Hughes — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 07:06:39 +0000

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.

Day 22

Matthew Hughes — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 14:14:37 +0000

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

Day 18

Fingers cross for a 5lb total this week.

Day 17

Matthew Hughes — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 10:49:01 +0000

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

Day 16

Matthew Hughes — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 09:06:58 +0000

Today is a pretty good day I woke up with the feeling in my arms that I had been on the cross trainer for 20 minutes, I am considering that this may be a good all over workout and better than the running but with my goal of the 5k in March (not a fixed goal yet, give it two weeks) I need to persist, I am wondering if I could use one of my rest days and do some cross trainer then? I don’t want to over do it but I don’t want to under do it either.

I will mull it over and see what I am going to do, oh in other news I managed to lose just short of a pound weighing in at 18st 9.2lb which means I am back on track for this week already. Given what I ate yesterday it is no surprise.

Mood
Good

Breakfast
Cheerios with Milk

Lunch

Pot Noodle

Dinner

Omlette, 4 eggs, spring onions, chicken and mushroom with reggae reggae sauce.

Snacks

coffe and a tea
