Weigh-in 94: Almost There!

Posted by: Andrew : Category: Weigh in's

Ok I ditched another 2lbs this week brining me down to 222lbs (15st & 12lbs), so I am almost on top of my initial goal of 220lbs, which I am hoping to smash through at next weeks weigh-in.

HIGHS

I booked my flight to Trowbridge this week which really made everything real for me, I mean my mind got a shock and I realised that I am actually going to do this! I will be leaving on August 19th; this is good as I will have a few days to get familiar with my surroundings before the course starts on the 23rd.

I also handed in my notice at work this week, which also added to the thrill of really getting ready to head into a new, challenging and exciting new chapter of this story.

LOWS

Even though booking the flight and handing in my notice were high’s, they are equally lows as it means that in less than 5 weeks I will be leaving them for nearly 3 months another blow to this was our plan to have my wife’s cousin come from Indonesia to stay while I was away, and we just got word that the visa application had been refused; we are currently attempting to appeal this decision.

NEXT WEEK’S MINI GOAL

I am aiming to get down another 3lbs for next week’s weigh-in which will bring me down to 219lbs (15st & 9lbs), I am still hoping (and I know that it’s still possible) for me to get to 210lbs (15st) before I leave for Trowbridge.

Well there I was thinking it was going to be too much of a stretch! Hats off to you matey! Amazing.

What are your plans when qualified?

Sorry to hear about the visa problems. I assume it would have taken some of the worry off your shoulders.

Hi Jonathan, How many times are you eating per day and how much calories are you consuming?
Also let me know about your workouts; maybe I can help you break through that plateau!

Take care,
Andrew
