Super Saturday

Well here we are again, Saturday afternoon which means its weigh in time. Footy and a couple beers beckons (don't worry I'll be sensible I've booked in for a 50km ride tomorrow morning at 6am) so lets review the current state of play .

As you all know April 2011 has not been my greatest achievement in the journey to redemption. I've regressed somewhat but all in all I think when I look back over the last 30 days I clearly see it could have been much worse. I'm proud of the fact that even with a dearth of good behaviour, I managed to string together enough good days to finish the month in the red.

So to the numbers for the week are:

Current weight: 109.1kg,  previous weight: 113.2kg, a loss of 4.1kg
Current Gut: 114cm, previous gut: 117cm, down 3cm.
I'm pretty happy with those figures obviously after I returned from Melbourne with a few extra kilos in my hand luggage. 

Now it's time to review the month of April:

Saturday April 2 figures: Weight: 112.3kg and gut 116cm. So despite the debacle that was April I've still managed to drop over 3 kilos in four weeks which amazingly is nearly the weekly target. All in all I'm down around 24kg in 17 weeks so I remain well ahead of the original target. If I manage to repeat the performance in the next 17 weeks I will be 85kg by August 27 (and wouldn't that be something).

So as you can see the goals are clear and the motivation is easy (I can't wait to be in the 80's again) (either weight or decade!!).

May is a new month and brings with it a new focus. There's a big chance I'll get my new bike this month or next so I'll kick up the km's in the saddle as the month progresses which should really help the whole process. I thought I should start May on the front foot hence the 6am bike ride on a Sunday. With any luck and a bit of focus I intend to wave goodbye to the triple figures on the scales sometime in the next 31 days. That's my new mini goal for May, hit 99.9kg sometime before the end of the month and wave goodbye to the 100's forever.

OK so there you have it. Even in my worst month I have still managed to lose a couple of kilos so it's not all that bad after all. Footy time is upon us so I must bid you all farewell and put my game face on. It's time to get the Tige's home for win number two.

See you soon
