Weigh-in 93: So Close I Can Smell it!!!

Posted by: Andrew : Category: Weigh in's

The 220lbs goal that I set myself up for on January 2008 is so close now I can smell it coming! This week was tough, and I had to work hard for the 4lb mini goal that I had set myself for this week as I wanted to get to 16 stone (224 lbs) by today’s weigh-in…….. And that’s what I lost 4lbs! So I am now clocking in at 224lbs (16st), with 4lbs more to lose to reach my initial 220lbs (15.10st).

Four pounds is a lot to lose in one week, I am still going to train hard and eat right this coming week but if I don’t reach my 220 goal by next weigh-in (Sunday 18th July) I won’t cry, I’ll get there the following week

HIGHS

This week was a total high, as I was saying I was training hard because I was with personal trainers Jennifer Almiento (Monday’s workout) and Alan Strachan (Wednesday’s and Friday’s workout) I also increased my running from a normal 5.4 miles , but this week I ran 9.24 miles AND I have been working hard to improve my pace so always trying to run faster.

LOWS

Errrrr……. not really anything I can remember, I had a bit of a hunger attack yesterday (but that’s a Saturday standard with everyone I think ) and I am getting good at waiting out the 20 minutes. 20 minutes? They* say that hunger cravings last for about 20 minutes and then go away and I find I have been practicing holding out for the 20 and I am now becoming conditioned to this and having success in this area. So this low ends in a high, so a great week really

Awesome! I’ve reset my longterm goal to 220 too, maybe a more realistic goal like that will help me focus.

Hi John, good going mate! Yeah setting goals that are on the horizon is good practice, anything further and we can’t see to focus!

Thanks for commenting!

Take care,
