Saturday stats -- another loss to report :)
This morning's weigh in was 113.4 kg (250 lbs on the nose) which is a
loss of 0.8 kg (1.76 lb) since last Saturday. Again, since they said
not to expect any losses in the beginning, I'm happy with that. I had
to get up this morning at 7:15 to get to the park for Fit Camp at 8, and
it's my first time going to the Saturday morning class - but due to a
public holiday in the middle of the week, I had to get in Saturday if I
wanted to get my 3 workouts in. I'd hoped to do 4 this week, but that
will now be the goal for next week -- the last in my 4 week trial. They
say I've shown improvement in push-ups, and I can feel my overall
endurance increasing a bit after just 3 weeks. I'm told I'll really
notice a difference 8 weeks into training, so that's something to look
forward to. During this morning's class I naturally modified where I
had to, but did manage to do more than I expected. I kept up with the
joggers for the first few times around the course, but I was just
jogging while they were sometimes raising their knees up while jogging,
or jogging backwards or sideways. Anyway, I will definitely be signing
on for another 6 months of training after next week. :)
I've been doing a bit better the last few days at staying within my
calorie goals as well. I'm generally pretty good, but sometimes give in
to a snack or two in the evening, pushing my totals up another 1-200
calories. But I've done well the last few days keeping it at about
1650. Mostly that's because of something I heard on a podcast I was
listening to -- she talked about feeling deprived when you're dieting,
and said something that really made me think. Basically the idea was
that you're deprived no matter what you decide -- you can either be
deprived of the chocolate bar or deprived of a fit, healthy body. You
make that choice every day.
I'm interested to get the results of that choice next week -- I didn't
get a copy of my beginning measurements as their printer was down, but
when I do the follow up ones next week I'm hoping to see a big
difference, even if I haven't lost as much weight as I'd hoped. Now if
you'll excuse me, I'm going to go weed through my collection of DVD
workouts. There are some I'd like to check out that I haven't tried in a
long time. Wish me luck.
