Week 26. Grrrrrr Backward Compatible

Am a bit disappointed in myself this week, Current Weight: 82 kg | 12.9 Stone | 180.8 lbs. I kind of slipped on my food choices a couple of times. I put in a lot of hard work as far as exercise was concerned, but I just let myself down on the nutrition front, doh! Which inevitably led to an 0.3kg weight increase (and not a 1 kg loss BTW I don’t like weight gains :o/ ), and roughly .5 of an inch on my hips + adding an additional week to reaching my goal. So my prediction to my ideal weight is still another 5 weeks from now.

Results are shown below:


On the flip side, I started a 6 weeks sit up challenge on Sunday and since then I have kept up with the 8 minute ab workout on a daily basis. All going good there at least… For those of you not familiar with my Personal 6 Week Sit Up Challenge, you can check out my YouTube video, below where I talk about it.



Anyways I think I will keep this short and sweet. Am going to be real strict on myself this week, on both low carb nutrition (No more carb deviations) and exercise. Starting with Volleyball tonight, and of course carrying on with my 8 minute ab workout later. Wish me luck!

Week 25. Back On Track

Ching ching, check out this weeks weightloss. The fat just seemed to melt off, no thanks to the British Weather though. Just going to keep this short for the minute. Will add more banter later. But for now... below you can see my recent picture and this weeks stats. Njoy.

Week 24. Where Did I Go?

Ops, first of all, I just want to apologise to you all, for neglecting you all and not adding any content to my blog for a such a long while. I think it works out 7 weeks in total since my last post.... eck! I wonder if any of my existing readers are still around?!?!

So what has been keeping me from all these weekly updates? Hum...Where to start???

Well in a nutshell a few things have been keeping me busy these last days/weeks/months, like;

• I failed a module in my degree, which meant re-sits, I was then given a huge assignment, that took up a bit of time,

• I then went on a brief holiday to my dad’s house to see family and friends (Which is quite far away, but was fun),

• Whilst on this holiday, I then found a flat, which I now intend to purchase. Which meant, travelling 600 miles 2 more times, 1. to view the apartment and then 2. to fill out all the paper work and sort out the mortgage, solicitor, survey etc.

• Also after the confirmation that I passed my second semester at uni. Then, I have mostly been focusing my attention towards my new job/my clients project. Which has been keeping me mega busy. 1. because there is a lot of work involved in a small amount of time, and 2. This also means I need to learn/read/practice and test a lot to get the job done.

On top of this I have been wondering in and out of the low carb lifestyle. Yes, I have a huge confession to make, I have been cheating on my low carb lifestyle….This has happened for many reasons, mainly due to me being lazy, not preparing my dishes, and not being around low carb foods or not being home to cook. Oh and I have been out socialising quite a bit too.

I have been keeping an eye on my weight though. If you look to the very bottom of this page, you can see my previous weeks entries, all plotted on the graph. Unfortunately though, during these weight in’s I haven’t taken any pictures. I hope to resume this, this week.

I have learnt a lot though about my body during these past couple of months. For a long time I had worries and concerns that, if I was to stop Atkins / Low Carb living that I would balloon and return to my previous obese self. But what I can see is, even though during this time not following Atkins so strictly. i.e by eating tones of junk foods, like pizza, BBQs, McDonalds, KFC’s, curries, chocolate, ice cream, cream buns etc yes the list goes on. I didn’t return to my former fat self. In fact, you can see from the graph, I never went above my lowest recorded weight more than 3kg which is awesome.

What then do I have to say for my rebellious behaviour to Low Carb Living??? Well, am SORRY to all you readers out there. However, if I kept up my low carb living, now I probably would be at my ideal weight, and not only that maybe my 6 pack abs would be showing… Ouch! So I guess just knowing this is like punishment enough. But you will all be glad to hear, am back to my low carb ways once again and I feel better for it too.

If any of my previous readers are still around, feel free to leave me a few comments to give me a good telling off. Hehehe!

Below is this weeks results, nearly identical to Week 17s, so its like I have time warped into the future a couple of months :o) Regardless of my poor eating choices…
