Update end of Feb 2009

I finally got to set of scales:
80.4 kg = 177 lbs = 12 stone 9 lbs and 25% body fat.
The 25 is important – 25% and over body fat is one clinical definition of obese. So if I keep going I will soon be un-obese for the first time in years.
I have eased off the [...]

Still here, still fat

Sorry things have been quiet I have been under pressure at work.
Which also explains why I havent focused on losing fat, which also explains why I havent. In fact I’m pleased not to have put a load of weight on.
I am hoping to pick things up in the next week or 2.

Pattern forming

Sorry I’ve not posted for a while.
I did my obsessive approach, and it worked well for a week, then I thought I ‘d have a day or two off. That was a month ago!
This is pretty much what happened last time too. And that seems to be the pattern, obsess for a week or two, [...]

Weekend update

Friday I had a bit of a day off, I ate some junk, drank some beer, and didn’t do much exercise.
Saturday I ate well, but didn’t do much activity.
Sunday I ate well, and did loads of activity, bike ride, run, footy with the kids. And I feel good.
One thing from my day off on Friday, [...]

Operation obsessive – day 4 and 5 report

Today (fri)
Late last night I sneaked a couple of biscuits, and things have sort of gone downhill. No exercise today due to snow and generally crappy weather. Diet has been poor, but not a complete disaster. Don’t feel anywhere near as good as yesterday. Lost about 40 quid in rewards I’m not getting. I need [...]

Weekend update

Managed to get out for a run on Sat, and a run and a ride today (Sun).
Probably more importantly today I ate zero junk, which must be the first time since the start of the Christmas build up months ago. yahoo.
I am convinced that the exercise was the key factor in controlling my junk food [...]

How was your Christmas?

I hope you did better than me!
After all my big talk last Oct, I got really busy at work, and as usual the first thing to suffer was my health campaign. Then Christmas happened, and I did appallingly badly! I ate my own body weight in shite all day everyday for weeks. I should be [...]

Progress to 11 Nov

none really!
I briefly got below 84kg (83.8)
Weight: 83.8 kg ( 185 lbs, 13 stone 3 lbs)
Before creeping back up to mid 84. something.
I really thought seeing 83.something would be some kind of major tipping point and things would somehow get easier.
WRONG!
On the plus side I am still less fat than when I started ( 87 [...]

Update 26 Oct

My weight has crept up maybe half a pound, or a pound. Which is actually pretty good as I have eaten tons of rubbish and done little structured exercise. I need to do a proper weigh in and fat measurement to check.
The only explanation that springs to mind is its football season (thats the football [...]

Update 17 Oct

I’m still hanging in there, just.
Had a bad week last week – well I guess not bad, just not good. I didn’t lose any weight, but I didn’t gain either.
This week has been much better. I’ve been out on the bike most days, only for between 15 and 30 minutes, but thats something.
Current weight:
Weight: 84.2 [...]
