Going really well so far, clean eating, lots of water, just finished a HIT session... Will see how the rest of the day turns out... Keep at it, you're doing great!
So the day didn't end as well as it started, pack of chips after shopping and a chai tea but did have a fresh juice, lots of water ... So...
Food 5/10
Exercise 6/10 (lots of incidental activity and deliberate)
I'm 97 kg at the moment, need to get to 95kg in a week for a sky dive (eek) I might do a fast
Feeling good, keeping to the plan, all but zero meat so far, lots of fiber, whole foods, nuts, vegetables... No exercise today so far... Some things end up more difficult than you expect even though they should be simple, very frustrating!!!!
Lost a bit of weight but those kinds of figures on the scales so early really don't matter too much, it's the bigger picture...
I ate way too much in the middle of the day but really recovered well this evening... Didn't feel hungry, so I didn't eat... Just drinking some lemon water...
Eating 6/10
Exercise 0/10
Food 7/10 not bad, could have been better
Exercise 1/10 in a car all day makes that score terrible...
Notes... Be more prepared with better food... Have tea or water if still hungry.
HIT training tomorrow before 11am
Feeling good, fairly motivated, 1 km walk, lots of water, brown rice, vegetables and nuts so far.
Last night I weighed myself at 99kgs I'll keep weighing to see how I'm going and to keep me accountable. 80kgs really suits me, sometimes people say I look under weight at that level, but 85 is the ideal... Hell, make it 84 so I have 15kgs to lose... I've done it before, I'll do it again. Last time I became a vegetarian for 6 months and it worked amazingly well, so I'm concious to not eat much meat and restrict factory produced food (obviously excluding washing and packing etc)
Been going well throughout the day... Nearly had seconds at dinner, served it up and put it back, had water instead! Feeling proud... Knowing I was going to post on this blog helped!
Update... And after posting that, my old man 'makes' me eat more... It's hard to say no when food is shoved in your face however I have to learn how to say no...
Unhappiness comes from comparison of others. When you are compared to others you will lose, and so will they, there's always someone with a skill that's better than yours and you'll always have a skill that's better than there's. We just have to be the best person we can be and believe and hope that's enough for ourselves and others.
If disclosure beings connection, then creating things you wouldn't disclose to others with someone must bring an even deeper connection.
Secrets withheld from one another create isolation.
A secret world that's a bit of a fantasy can be exciting, personal and connecting... But when you watch someone else do that it brings distance and loneliness.
All any of us want is to give and receive love unconditionally and feel safe to do so.
It's time to take my own advice, I want and need to become more healthy, lose weight and gain strength and fitness. I do not lack in knowledge, I do not lack in technique, hell I do not even lack in experience, I lack in action, I lack in dedication and consistency.
So I am keeping myself accountable by posting here and being honest with myself, I'm the only one who loses by being dishonest with myself.
I choose to take this path for several main reasons.
I value my mind more than my body, but my mind relies on my health, state of mind which is tied to my body, you are what you eat, exercise helps the mind be clear and sharp!
I value my girlfriend, Tess, she deserves a healthy and head strong man who happens to also have a body which she is proud of. I choose to do this because she accepts me where I'm at, and that inspires me to be better.
I need to post my failures and my successes as they happen, get up and do something about my situations, be proud of my efforts and even if I stumble, get back up and keep going.
I have 1 year till my partners major milestone birthday - I want to lose 20kg or if not losing that much, at least converting to tone and muscle.
I think in 6 months I'll do really well if I keep the path. In future posts I'll let you know what I'm up to and how I'm doing it...
To start I've done a 1.2km walk and I've eaten rice, vegetables, soy sauce cottage cheese and nuts with ginger tea and honey. Over ate a little bit, need to serve in smaller bowls. Drink water more if hungry.
I enjoyed my walk while watching 30 rock.
I finished brain training but need to do more HIT training each day, especially seems it's short
Until next time!
