70 Days In

10 weeks down, and another 1.1 kg lost last week. I'm now down to 139.3. Happy with that since I only went on the bike 3 times, and had a couple of less than healthy meals. Going to really try and get a good number for next week.

Well I was pretty nervous getting on the scales this morning. I'd only used the exercise bike last Monday, and then last week was so busy and I was so tired I didn't get to go on it again. I had 4 days at the Clipsal 500, but I was good and brought my lunch with me on the Thursday and Friday. But it seems I was worried for nothing - This mornings weight was 140.4kg, so another 1.2kg down, which I'm pretty damn happy with since the exercise was fairly lacking (although i did do some walking around the track). I'll be back on the bike tonight and try to ensure I do it every night so that next weigh in I can put a big dent into the 130's. Not far to go until my initial goal of 133kg which means I'll have succeeded in my bet with my 2 mates, and won't have to fork out $1000... hopefully that's only a few weeks away!

Well, I lost another 1.6 kg this week, bringing me down to 141.6kg in total. I'm happy with that, but cautious because today is a public holiday, so I had a pretty long sleep in, and instead of weighing myself at about 7am I weighed myself around 1:30pm.. so I'm optimistic, but hopefully the time difference hasn't swayed things a little - I guess I'll find out when I weigh in next monday! I'm very happy with this weeks results, as I did have 2 days with no exercise, but I played tennis yesterday which was good fun - I used to love playing so I really want to get back into it. I'm having issues with my feet at the moment, so they were really sore after. Might have to see a Podiatrist. I need to be very good this week. A big car race is being run here, and I'll be going all 4 days, thurs, fri, sat and sun. Its very easy to eat bad and drink a lot of beer so I have the be very careful. I'm going to try and pack a nice roll to take so hopefully I can keep away from the bad food, and I'll need to make sure I'm on the bike every night. I'm hoping that next weigh in I can get into the 130's....
Now that I've lost 16 kg, I have 8 to go until I reach my first goal - the bet with my 2 mates. Neither of them have reached their goal yet, and are starting to struggle a little, so I've just got to keep going. Fingers crossed!

Well last week was another good week. Even with a dinner with friends on Friday, which including a sticky date pudding dessert, and taking the family out for a Greek banquet on Saturday, I managed to lose 2.1 kilograms last week, so I was extremely please when hopping onto the scales this morning. It means I'm down to 144.9kg, a total of 12.7 kilograms lost in 6 weeks, which I'm very happy with. It also means I'm over half way to my first goal of losing 15% body weight by June 30 so that I don't have to dish out any money to my 2 mates also doing the challenge. I need to get to 24 kilograms lost by the end of the financial year, so with 17 weeks to go, if I can keep it up and lose at least 1kg a week, I'll be able to make it with time to spare. Which is fantastic. Ive been very good with the exercise, with Friday the only day I missed it. I'm up to 40 mins each time I get on the bike, and I alternate between high intensity and low. It seems to be working. About to get on again now, and I'm hoping to not miss a day this week.

I was very scared to weigh in this morning. I knew that I had tried hard over the last week, and if I hadn't lost much, I was going to be very disappointed. I'd done 30 mins on the exercise bike every day except for Saturday when I took a 30 minute walk. Luckily, it's paid off! 147.0 kg today :) Thats 10.6 kilograms in 6 weeks - extremely happy with that! I just need to keep up the good eating and the exercise this week - Friday and Saturday night I have dinners out, so that's going to be tricky, but I'll just have to find something good on the menu. Yay :) It's a much better start to the week than last week!

Keeping on.

Well I'm trying to be really good this week. Been on the exercise bike for 30 mins last night, and 30 mins tonight, alternating between fast pace and low. I need a good week, and I need a good figure for next week. Last week wasn't acceptable, going up 0.1, I really wasn't that bad, but I did have a fair bit to drink, and wasn't good a couple of nights in a row (BBQ's), and I only got on the bike twice, so I can see how I didn't lose anything. This week it's going to be different. I'm going to try my hardest not to drink anything, and not to eat anything bad. I'm hoping for 2+ kg lost this week. I need to be on the bike every day! Works been really busy, my mate got fired last Friday, and I didn't get a position I was really hoping to get, so its been a pretty average last week. Hoping it picks up!!
