One day away from the first official weigh in and I'm fairly satisfied with the week just passed. I definitely could have done a better job on some days but having completed an exercise session three times and eaten fairly well for most of the week I'm hoping for the loss of a couple of kilos. Truth be known I've been on and off the scales all week. This is a habit I know I have to get out of as its really a self defeating process. Every time I haven't lost anything or put on a few grams it is dis-heartening. So after Saturday's weigh in I will aim to stay off the trusty scales for the next seven days.
Friday provided the challenges I had expected and I'm fairly happy with how I've handled them. To elaborate, Friday afternoons I generally catch up with a few mates at the Ashgrove Golf Club for beers. Normally, after 3-5 schooners the will-power wilts and I partake in a fairly greasy Friday night take-away dinner. Tonight however, I exchanged heavy beer for light and left before the will-power had totally disintegrated with the result being a take-away free evening (yey one for the good guys).
I will endeavour to dig up my tape measure and add gut measurements into the blog this weekend. This is as important as the weight as far as I'm concerned as I have about a ton of clothes which can re-enter the rotation as I lose kilos. In my current student life the value of reusing old clothes cannot be underestimated.
While I've promised myself I wouldn't get ahead of myself in this process I have decided to set myself a 2 month goal weight. This will coincide with my 40th Birthday and subsequent gathering. I'm aiming at 123kg or under then by Feb 26. If achieved, (sorry I mean when achieved) it will mark the first 10kg off this over sized frame and a nice birthday pressie to myself.
OK so tune in tomorrow night for the first OFFICIAL Weigh In in the Road to Redemption.
