Just a small step

but last night after opening a new packet of cheese instead of putting it in a plastic bag or wrapping it in a cling film I placed it in a small tupperware box. I know its not saving much, but every drop helps especially when it comes to oil.

First weigh-in in a while

2005-08-01T12:26:00.000-07:00

Today I weigh 64.6kg and 27% fat. I’m pleased with this as I haven’t been doing so well the last three weeks. We’ve given in at the supermarket and bought crisps and chocolate and I’ve virtually stopped eating fruit.

However I am now consisently in the 64s (or perhaps low 65s) instead of the 67s like when I started. Just over 50 days to go to the wedding can I lose any more?

Yeah yeah yeah

2005-07-04T14:37:00.000-07:00

I weighed in at 64.8kg this evening, a loss of 2.6kg since starting this, thats about 5 lbs I think (29% fat). Now that I seem to be back with the exercise I hope things will start moving a little quicker.

I wore my jeans during the weekend and my tummy no longer hangs over the top of them, that felt very good to realise!

Good news at work weigh in

2005-07-01T01:27:00.000-07:00

I last weighed in at work was 3 weeks ago

my weight has decreased 1.6 pounds (5.1 pounds since 13th May)

my body fat has decreased 1.9% (3% since 13th May)

my hydration level has increased 1.2% (2% since 13th May)

my muscle weight has increased 0.9 pounds (0.9 since 13th May)

my metabolic age has decreased 4 years (6 years since 13th May)

Looking at my figures for four weigh ins I’ve done over two months my figures are quite up and down, but the trends seem to be in the right direction.

Second time this week

2005-07-01T01:19:00.000-07:00

I went to the gym at lunch yesterday. I was still feeling the pain from body pump on Monday, but wanted to work it out of my system.

I managed my full workout, including the longest I’ve ever stayed on the climbing wall on the cardio programme, over 6 minutes.

The new class timetable comes out on Monday and there are two new classes I want to try.

Weight up, fat down

2005-06-20T14:19:00.000-07:00

My weight has gone up to 65.8kg which is probably related to the fact I’ve been feeling a bit better so have been eating more. The good news is that apart from the last two weeks I’ve only been below 66kg once in the last 6 months, so still moving in the right direction.

My body fat has fallen to 24% – whoo hooo is that because I made it to the gym once last week? I think there might be something wrong with that figure, but it still feels good!

I'm trying to motivate myself to exercise at the moment

2005-06-16T14:43:00.000-07:00

as I know changing my diet isn’t going to work alone. When I was last at my target weight I ate worse than I do know, but did a lot of exercise.

I was at the gym at lunch time and I’m planning to go to classes again next week.

2005-06-16T05:56:00.000-07:00

I went to the gym at lunch time

2005-06-16T05:52:00.000-07:00

this is good because hopefully it will mean I have destroyed my mental block about going at lunch time and means I will increase the number of times I go.

The latest version of body pump starts next week so I’m hoping to use that as a motivator to start going to classes again.

Something's happened

2005-06-13T14:59:00.000-07:00

I’ve weighed myself this evening and I’m 65kg, that means I’ve lost 2.4kg since the first weigh in and 1.2kg since last week.

Unfortunately I know that a fair amount of this is muscle turning to fat as my my fat has inceased to 32% fat. Plus I haven’t been feeling well the last week so I haven’t been eating as much as normal. Once I feel better so I am eating as normal and exercising I suspect my weight will start going up again.

However I did treat myself to a full body hot rocks massage today – fantastic. She also said that she couldn’t see any cellulite – yippee. I had a look when I got home and the amount of cellulite as decreased dramatically.

Mixed news at the work weigh in (but mainly poor)

2005-06-10T07:32:00.000-07:00

I had my third weigh in at work today

In the last week I have
increased my percentage body fat by _{2%
lost 2.4 pounds
decreased my hydration percentage by}1%
decreased my muscle by over 1 unit (don’t know what unit that is though) I’m now back at what I was when I was originally weighed mid May
my physique rating has stayed as normal
my metabolic age has increased from 27 to 31 (apparently my body is feeling sluggish this morning)

So basically I’ve lost weight, but it is due to muscle loss which isn’t good. I guess this shows that I’ve had a bad week where I haven’t exercised and I had chocolate every day. However it hasn’t been a good week as it was my Grandfather’s funeral on Monday and I’ve felt run down all week. However I’ve still been better than normal by not eating the chocolate at work and having vegetables in the evening and salad in my sandwiches (no fruit so far this week). Hopefully I’ll be back on form next week.

They've cancelled my ring order

increased my muscle by over 1 unit (don’t know what unit that is though)

I don't normally look at my feet

2005-05-28T02:37:00.000-07:00

however I’ve been getting rubbing around my bigs toes recently. When I actually looked at them I realised they are looking a little bit odd. I’ve done some research and it appears I’ve either got or I am getting bunions; the only way to correct them is surgery!

I did to make an appointment with a specialist to find out how bad they are and what needs to be done. However I’m dreadful at making appointment so in the mean time I’ve started a corrective program of my own. I’ve got spacers for between my big toes and I’m doing exercises to try and encourage my big toes back where they should be.

Hopefully this can be solved without surgery.

Getting started with weight loss

2005-05-28T01:52:00.000-07:00

I’ve been having a nosey around the bbc website this morning and came across their healty living section. They have a lot of information on weight loss; I haven’t read it all yet, but it seems to be good http://www.bbc.co.uk/health/healthy_living/your_weight/ and includes imperial and metric BMI calculators.

This is what is lists under the action list in the getting started section:

Write down all the reasons you want to lose weight.

Write down the pros and cons of losing weight and staying as you are, to see which comes out on top.

Keep a food and activity diary.

Start with a positive attitude – to change your weight, you first need to change your mind!

Another good day

2005-05-25T15:37:00.000-07:00

I had left over soup for lunch so got some vegetables that way, plus I had some cherries when I got in from work. I admit it wasn’t many, but it is a start to get over that mental hurdle. I also didn’t have any chocolate.

I have been thinking of exercising (a benefit of eating better). I should probably have another day’s rest after the chiropractors, but I might go for a light work out after work if I haven’t had any aches and pains during the day.

Dinner – corn on the cob and homemade leek, potato and stilton soup (first time I’ve made soup)
Snacks – probiotic yogurt, bag of snackajacks a few crisps

OK no fruit, but equally no chocolate.

I had a good day yesterday

2005-05-25T00:21:00.000-07:00

Breakfast – porridge made with water and cranberry juice
Lunch – wholemeal pittas with turkey ham and some salad (just a little bit as I train myself to like it
Dinner – corn on the cob and homemade leek, potato and stilton soup (first time I’ve made soup)
Snacks – probiotic yogurt, bag of snackajacks a few crisps

OK no fruit, but equally no chocolate.

Plus my chiropractor said I looked like I had lost weight, when I have actually put it on since I last saw her. Maybe I’ve got better posture since finishing my course.

Starting today

2005-05-23T11:48:00.000-07:00

I’ll warn you that I’ll be using a mix of kg or stones depending on where I’m getting weighed

Medium term goal: 60kg (~9.5 st) by September 2005

Short term goal: eat some fruit and more vegetables than normal

Current weight: 67.4kg

Current fat: 30%

I’m getting married in September and would like to get back to the weight I was when we started going out. This means I need to lose about a stone or 7kg. However I am more interested in size than weight (hips, bums and thighs – good old English pear)so I will try and report on progress if I can get myself measured!

I’m not going to be able to do much exercise this week as I am visiting a chiropractor tomorrow and I am usually banned for a few days afterwards. Therefore I am going to look at my food. I do not like fruit, vegetables or salad and although I have improved over the last year or so I still don’t chose to eat them. Well I will this week. We’ve just been shopping and bought no chocolate or crisps, but we spent enough on fruit and veg to get a bonus Active Kids voucher!

I was away at a wedding for the weekend and ate loads and lots of naughty stuff. For instance, lunch today was thick Italian hot chocolate (absolutely fantastic) and hazelnut chrunch icecream with hot chocolate sauce. Its going to be tough tomorrow :D

I wore a dress I made to a wedding yesterday

2005-05-22T14:41:00.000-07:00

I made the dress last summer and it was great wearing it because I knew no one else would have anything similar. It reminded me why I want to make my own clothes.

The renewal is due on my gym membership

2005-05-22T14:40:00.000-07:00

and it has gone up £10 a month. Do I sign up again or not? If I don’t the chances of me doing any exercise is slim, but is it a waste of money?

Its sooner than I think

2005-05-22T11:15:00.000-07:00

I’m getting married in four months time and there is still so much to organise. I need to focus on sort it out. On the plus side, we have the registrar so if we don’t do anything else we can still get married!

I'm getting married in Spetember and want to look my best

2005-05-18T23:33:00.000-07:00

I would like to go be the weight I was when we first started going out 7 years ago. That would mean losing just over a stone to get to 9.5 stone or 60 kg. My main goal is to tone up all those wobbly bits especially thighs and bottom rather than a specific weight though

now that I’ve finished my coursework. The problem is that because I’m a member of bookcrossing I’ve got loads of other people’s books to read before I get to mine.
