Week 11

Results – My weight is down by 3½lbs, which is now a total of 23¼lbs in the last 11 weeks!*
A further 1cm off chest(under), 0.5cm off hips and 0.5cm off thighs!!*
BMI reduced by 0.30 this week.
The best news, I only have 1lb left to break the next stone barrier on the scales AND I’m over ¼ way to my target weight!

Overview – Wow, great week for me! I’ve managed to find time to do at least 3 or 4 workouts this week, on top of running a Weight Loss Challenge club on Monday’s – I burn loads of calories EVERY Monday night! My water intake has been pretty much spot on, some days more than 3ltrs! My not so good day was when I missed a shake, totally thought I had had all my meals for the day, then went to bed and realised why I started to feel hungry at 11pm! … whoops! Started a new workout program this week, should be fun, it will stop me getting bored of my current workouts.

Targets – Getting the scheduled workout in for 5 consecutive days, fuelling & re-fuelling properly this week, and preventing fatigue during exercise program.

Week 9-10

Results – My weight is down by 2¼ lbs, which is now a total of 20lbs in the last 10 weeks!*
A further 3cm off chest, 1.5cm off chest (under), 1cm off waist, 3.5cm off hips and 0.5cm off arms!*

My BMI has dropped by 4.91 over 10 weeks.

Overview - Over these last two weeks I have been trying to get as many workouts in, when I have spare time.  It’s been different this time around.  Every other time that I have gone onto a weight loss program, I have actually had the time to do an hour plus workout at least 5 days a week.  At the moment, I can only seem to find time to do 3 or 4 days a week.

I’ve have increased my water intake, making sure to have bottles filled in the fridge the night before and actually take a small bottle to bed ready for when I wake up.

Next weeks targets – I am starting a new workout program, that focuses on 5-6 days per work!  As it’s going to be part of my “business” activity, I will need to schedule this time into my work plan.  Fingers crossed!

Weight Loss Activity – Subconscious Goal Setting

There’s a little activity that I want to share with the guys here tackling weight loss. It’s really helping me, and that means that it could potentially help you too. Now, I found this activity in a Wiccan spell book but the intent and the message it sends to the sub-conscious really “sticks” for me.

Take a piece of paper, any size, just keep in mind that you need to be able to see this every day, often! So it would ideally have a semi-permanent place and need to be able to fit on a cupboard door, fridge door, wall, bathroom mirror etc. (mine is a piece of A6 – green represents health)

Using a red pencil (pen or crayon, anything!) draw the outline of your current shape, scaled to the paper size of course! Include any “wobbly bits” or “tires” that you may want to reduce the size of. (red is ultimately the colour for warning/danger)

Now, take a green pencil and draw your target shape over the top of the red outline.

Place this drawing somewhere that you will see it every day. This will sub-consciously tell you that the green outline is going to be the new you very soon and that the red outline is the old you and you won’t go back to that again.

There is no guarantee that this will work, it’s all about will power, getting your mindset right and having some goals in place.
