On July 28th I relaunched for the 3rd time!
This time I asked Gab and she agreed to help out because it's a ton more work for her because I can't help when I get home from work. So unless she supports me I can't do it.
I built my pull up bar and have the work out bands.
I've worked out how to stick to the diet. Basically I have 2 slices of brown bread in the morning with jam, then 11ses snack of fruit, lunch I stick ready prepared stir fry mix in microwave with soy sauce and slices of ham or chicken (it is mainly bean sprouts and cabbage with peppers, onion etc.) afternoon snack of yoghurt or cottage cheese and then have the lunch deal again ideally at work before I start heading home. At home I might have some dried fruit instead of biscuits with a cup of tea. As you can imagine the diet is the hardest part of this. I have to turn down going out to Nandos with Ryan from work, we might be at mum and dads and they order a curry and I have to stay away while they eat it, going to a supermarket is a nightmare - especially the bakery section.
I have also been sticking to the exercise routine. I've missed 3 days from illness and will try and make them up or will extend the 1st phase by three days.
The hardest part of the excersizes is the time it takes - yoga is 90 mins! By the time I've commuted back home I have to start straight away and then go to bed after - if I can get to bed after 90 mins of excersize.
I have some photos of me at the beginning which I will post. They are very embarrassing.
The results so far (3 weeks and 1 day in) are I have gone from 81.8kgs to 75.6kgs this morning - so lost 6.2kgs. But I'm cheating a bit because 81.8kgs is at night and I seem to weigh a lot less in the morning and I've had my hair cut. I think a chunk has come from my neck and cheeks. I can see my cheek bones and I don't look as fat in the face. Gab thinks I've lost weight around my tummy - but I can't see it. I feel a bit fitter but nothing special - although I sometimes do things that surprise me - like I'll run up the stairs and get to top and think - I don't normally do that. I certainly don't look super fit. But then again I'm only 3 weeks in to 13!
The other thing is I am permanently thinking of food and where I want to go to eat as soon as the program is over. (Belgos & Bodeans & Wasabi Pringles).
I'm feeling a bit wiped out now - and not sure if it is diet and weight loss or if it's this chesty cough and sore throat I've had the last few days. I think it's the illness and I'll be tip top in a couple of days.
Challenge coming up is that I have a stag do to go to at the weekend. Booze is not in the plan and I don't want to wreck 3 weeks of food hell. I don't want to let Rob down but hope I don't have to get drunk to celebrate his stag do - and hope I can not go too far from my diet.
