...And Weight Loss For All

Don't ask me how I managed to have such a massive loss this week (my second biggest since I began) I did everything as I normally do, but still managed to lose quite a generous amount. I did have one day where I was feeling a little ill, and didn't have a lot to eat. Perhaps that caused a large loss. I'm not complaining though, I'm happy that the time gap is widening and that I only have 900 grams left to reach my halfway goal. I can do that!

 A better result this week. However, I'm a little concerned that the buffer zone between my weight and the remaining time is so close. But, at least 1 kilogram a week is still a viable option at this point.  I have 2 weeks to go to reach my half-way point goal of 115.4 kg by July 7th, meaning I have to lose 1.3 kg a week. I have managed to do this before, so I'm going to stick at it and work hard over the next 2 weeks so that I can reach my goal.  Wish me luck!

 Pathetic.

Really over this whole diet thing right now. Sick of it, over it, ready to quit. I'm NOT going to quit, but I'm just feeling so done. I'm feeling depressed and angry, and really can't be bothered with it.  But, tomorrow is another day.

A pretty ordinary result this week, but I was expecting it so I'm not that disappointed.  I probably overindulged for my birthday, plus I had one day where I lost track of my calorie intake, and another day where illness prevented me from getting enough exercise in. Most of the other days were fairly productive however, with low calorie intake and high calorie burn, so in essence I have probably lost more than this - but only after putting a little on to begin with.  As usual though, a loss is still a loss, which is positive.  4 more weeks to go before I reach my half way point, so there's still plenty of time to reach that goal - 3.7 kg is doable! If I do reach that goal, I might treat myself to the big dinner I didn't get for my birthday. The next big celebratory goal is August 11th when I hope to reach 111.9 kg, which would see me go from 'obese' to 'overweight'. I will still be overweight at 100kg, so I'll be looking to get to at least 93 kg at some ...

Now that I have gone past the point of reaching my birthday goal, I'm having a lot of trouble getting back into the swing of things. I expected a little difficulty of course, given that my birthday involved some indulgence and no exercise, but I feel like something big has changed, and I am struggling to get re-motivated and to stick to my plan. I'm predicting a gain this week, and I won't be surprised at all. Upset, but not surprised. On Tuesday I lost track of my calorie intake, but yesterday I ate well and walked over 20 thousand steps. But, today has been a complete failure.  A migraine forced me to call in sick to work, and therefore I've had no exercise. The resulting depression has caused me to eat a little more, which has made me even more depressed.  I feel like this week will be a complete write-off, and I'm sure my halfway goal is dead.  Still, I keep on moving forward. 

Well, I've learned something today - I definitely can't eat like I used to. My plans for a day of indulgence were cut short after 2 meals, which filled me up so much that I simply couldn't fit in dinner! My wife and I could barely get through even half of the cheesecake, but what we did get through was quite delicious. Having reached my goal of losing 10+ kg, I decided to drag out the 2 large bags of 'someday' clothes that I have purchased over the years - items that were too small when I bought them, planning to lose enough weight to fit into them 'someday.'  To my surprise, I managed to get quite a few articles on, including 2 T-shirts that are at least 5 years old. I thought I'd never get them to fit to be honest, but I'm happy to say that they finally do!  I might even need to buy even smaller versions some day!
