Yep, it’s time for the weekly update on my progress.
I seem to have stumbled on a hidden secret of weight loss.
That’s right – dress up as a rock star, drink copious amounts of beer, don’t eat much at all and spend nearly all of the next day feeling worse for wear.
So, the results? Last week – 81.9. This week – 80.7.
A loss of 1.2kg.
There might be something to this. It might have been the fake tattoos…
As promised last week, I will be posting regularly about my progress with my various New Year resolutions. I realise that I have yet to put more on, but I’d really like to sit down and consider them carefully, to make sure I’m moving in the right direction, and doing things for the right reasons.
Obviously, one of my primary goals is to get back down to 70 kg. Yep, I’ve been there in the past, and I remember feeling great for it, so I want to get back there!
So, how did I go over the past week? Well, in a nutshell, I went from 81.7 kg to 81.9 kg.
A gain of 200g.
I was pretty frustrated with that result, as I’ve been very good about going to gym (every day except Sunday), and doing at least 5km on the treadmill, plus some upper and lower body exercises.
At least I got my Mayorship of Zap Fitness back on FourSquare (https://foursquare.com/user/2994812), so there was one positive 
In all seriousness, I am feeling better for making the effort, even though it hasn’t translated to the scales yet. I will continue to persist, as I know the end result will be worthwhile, but a good start would have been nice.
Perhaps it was the Pork Spare Ribs on Saturday night, and the homemade scones yesterday?
So, it’s that time of year again Yep, it’s time to take stock of where we are, and where we’d like to be by the end of the year. I think our resolutions usually fall into the following categories – health/fitness, finances, personal development and family – at least, mine usually seem to!
This is the first time that I’ve really sat down and put my goals ‘out there’. I think it’s going to give me some motivation and accountability, to have them set down in writing.
I aim to use this site as a personal one, kept separate from my businesses. It’s going to be a journal, I suppose – since my memory isn’t what it used to be, I’d like to jot down special times and memories with my girls, to be able to go back and look at them in years to come.
Whilst Facebook and other social media sites are good for getting short bursts of information out to friends and family, I think things tend to get lost over time. I realise that Facebook’s Timeline update hopes to change all that, but at least the info here is mine, and I can take it with me
Anyway, back to goals! My first goal is, like many other people, related to my fitness. I have (shock horror) let myself go a bit over the past 6 months, to the point where I really feel that I have to do something!
So, here it is:
Current Weight: 81.7kg
Proposed Weight: 70kg
Goal Date: 2nd April 2012 (which is 12 weeks from today).
I have some clothes (my St John duty pants, for one) that are getting a wee bit tight, so when they fit properly again, I’ll be pretty happy
I will be posting on a Monday with my progress in this area, so any encouragement / gentle nudging is most appreciated!
