This week will be 16th - 22nd with weigh in on the 23rd
So I need to keep a food diary everyday this week. I can't go into month 2 having lost 5lbs or less...I need a big hitter this week...and I'll need to take that forward each week.
I'm going for -7lbs. I can stomach a -12lbs loss in 2 months...I can.
Taken off my bike today (22/03) - yippee. Luckily nothing broken though I did feel like breaking something.
Well - not the 7lbs I hoped for. Kind of dissappointed as my jeans were feeling considerably loose this week - 4 trips to the gym, cycling everyday...
So what was wrong with last week (I find these little self reflective moments rewarding - though perhaps I should pay a little more attention to them)
1. Saturdays lunch - cheesey balls - really?
2. Sundays breakfast and snack - NO!
3. Tuesdays tea
4. Strawberry tart
Funny thing is - if I was to post here what I was eating prior to doing a food diary - you'd see how I became 20 stone! Yeah - there were a few spots last week of weekness - but no chocolate or crips during the day - no big packet of crips or Maoams, no family bars of chocolate, no cakes - those are all things I ate regularly - IN BETWEEN my meals!
So yeah - I'm a little down about -2lbs. And it grates me how easy it is to put on weight and how incredibly difficult it is to shift it.
Still - it IS -2lbs...so onward.
Unfortunately next week is my last week before I go on holiday - so hopefully I can shift some weight knowing there's a distinct possibility of putting it back on...but if I use that as a focus then hopfeully I'll only put on what I've lost...NO DAVEY - I'm NOT going to go on holiday and try to lose weight!
Oh - and a little side note. I was looking at the Wii Fit today - and my weight has been up and down between almost 20st 7lbs and 18st since 2008 - each year dipping to 18st and then creeping back up...so it's imperative I break that cycle.
And a final note - March 2011, I was 20st 5lbs - this March I'm 19st dead...I'm leaving on that positive.
