Better news to report this week, with a 0.5kg weight loss. I am much relieved, but can't say I've been 100% good with my eating this week. Exercise, on the otherhand has been super good (compared to normal). I also re-assessed my measurements, and in the last four weeks, I've lost 16cm in total. Pretty good eh? Especially since I've only lost 1.0kg during that time.
Boot camp has started on Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings, for 8 weeks. I've been to the first two sessions so far, and while they aren't as tough as I thought they would be, we have been promised that by Week 4 it will be really tough. Can't wait for that (sense the sarcasm).
I've been tossing up a few options for my eating plan, and while my current plan is working ok, it feels as though it is more of a maintenance plan, rather than a weight-loss plan. I really don't want to go back to counting points or calories, so I'm investigating some other options. This week I managed to stay with my self-imposed ban on the big 4 (alcohol, softdrink, icecream and softdrink), and plan on continuing this.
Our first boot camp has started the same week as this year's Biggest Loser. I really like this show. For me, it's not that motivating, but I do enjoy seeing the contestants shrink week after week. Plus, how can you not watch a show, where there are such cheesy/stupid comments. For example, the first episode, the contestants are entering an athletics field/track, and one of them says "when we walked in, I just knew we were in for some exercise". Well duh. I am looking forward to the promise of a slightly different format, with a bit more focus on preparing and cooking healthy food options.
My goals for next week, include:
- lose >0.5kg (ideally 1kg)
- maintain ban on the Big 4
- restrict 'free' meals to 2 (last week I had 3)
- exercise minimum 6 out of 7 days (for at least 30 minutes)
