back to reality
So new year and realisations - I’ve put some weight back on and its time to loose it. The long term goal: around 14 stone (dip below to go sky diving but maintaining 14 stone seems healthy enough for me)

Had a good time last week, ate out at nando’s no less than 3 times, and had a chinese once….. but i kept those as my main meal and had small meals the rest of the time…. admittedly tho it was far from dieting, I did however keep up with walks and weights - loosing 600g last week, (1.2lb) so im now 97.2kg (dont know how i didnt gain, felt i would!)
so a small success, or big success considering i ate some crap!
Well, the first 3 days of the plan went great last week, and in general over the week I drank a hell of a lot less, I did my weights and over the weekend also made sure I got the kite out!
The downside bits are I started getting ill wednesday night and on thursday and friday I ate chocolate and all sorts in an attempt to get a sugar fix and feel more human, I also drank a lot on saturday and followed it with a huge breakfast on the sunday and ice scream and all sorts….
where did that get me? (97.8kg) a 1kg loss that where, luckily I over exagerate how large my meal portions are and when Ill… i was ill! lol
Time to push on with the weights!
I have to kick arse, i put a bit of weight back on over the last few weeks, but Ive also ate like a pig, drank an obsene amount of alcohol and last week did 0 walking….
98.8kg = current weight … next goal is 93.8kg (under 15 stone) … 94.8 is also under 15 tho … so i suppose under 15 is the ideal….
weigh in that is, i know its going to tell me i’ve put on so why bother, its my birthday week and this weeks not going to be anything of an improvement… id rather just enjoy this week then worry like hell about next weeks weigh in
Well, last week I debated between staying same weight and loosing again… as it turned out I really didnt wana spend another week in being good so went out and got drunk. But I also ate more sensibly - I didnt post as much on twitter mainly because I also went naughty with a macdonalds one day and subway another….
The outcome of this evilness? No weight change, so I may try and see if I can just loose a small amount this week, a more sensible target that dramatic weight loss?
I’ve had a great 9 days but now marks the change - I’m going to get drunk, occasionally but the crap I ate toward the end of last week was a few days off from the diet - and I dont want it to be back in my life!
Weight this week = 96.9kg. I put on 400g which is a hell of a lot less than I thought I would considering how much I drank!
So whats the plan? increase confidence while sober - or act drunk at the least… then get back to running, not eating rubbish and back to portion control and similar dinners - stuff I can track easily!
Tonight I should run but I have a bad cough, so I’m going to take 15 mins break in a bit and do pushups etc - then, cough permitting I’m going to do whatever I can to increase my heart rate to 160 for 20-30 mins!
This week I have been mostly: putting on weight.
So I need a plan, I’m really enjoying this week so will probably ignore any plans I make untill next Monday!
Well, the plan for this was was 3 runs, until I realised its freshers week, which means more chance of having to jog past people - which provides me with a big confidence problem, what with me having to walk.
On top of that its only wednesday and there’s already been one piss-up.
But, I’ve also been thinking, it might not be a bad idea to let the weight loss slow for a while and do some resistance training - let my skin and body get used to changes before ploughing on and on … lets face it I could do with some muscles. I think what this will translate to is exercising to loose weight still but making sure to get resistance in and not be dismayed if I loose far less weight.
Woo, with the amount I ate and drank last week I still lost 1.1kg - i’m now 96.5kg, while this isnt great compared to past weeks I need to realise I’ve lost weight extemely fast. Some people loose 1lb or even 1/2lb a week which in kg is 0.2-0.45 so 1.1 is still a hefty loss at over 2lb. For sky diving, I keep re-checking, 13st 10lb is my max possible, so aiming for 87kg seems a healthy next goal - less than 10kg to go (just)…. if im honest I seem to like the ring of “below 200lb” which is 90kg - another reason 87 is a nice goal.
Well, that text was garbled and unorganized, but more organized than the twitter feed - I forgot to post a lot this weekend, but I havnt overeaten, which is the important note.
This weeks plan = jog twice minimum, hopefully 3 times, do pressups, situps etc etc on the alternate days & more importantly, not get drunk every night I go near a pub!
