Week 9 / Day 60

Week 9 / Day 60

This week has been pretty average. I have been exercising regularly, doing a combination of either walking and jogging, or jogging and doing a session on the exercise bike, or exercise bike and walking. I have done 5 sessions this week. Ii have also been doing a little bit of strength workouts, such as push-ups and sit-ups, but can only remember doing two small sessions of these. I will keep pushing myself to do more of these during the week.

However, I feel my eating habits were not so strong as I had over eaten a little bit extra for a few days this week. In saying that, my weight did not jump too high as I had expected it to be.

My weekly results are as follows:

Start of the year                      Last Week                                This Week
1st January                              22nd February                          1st March
Weight: 71.4                           Weight: 68.6                             Weight: 69.1
Waist: 86cm                            Waist: 83.5cm                          Waist: 83cm
Hips: 83cm                              Hips: 84cm                               Hips: 84.5
Neck: 38cm                             Neck: 38cm                              Neck: 39cm

I am starting to be convinced that my weight cannot get any lower, as well and my neck measurements are changing. Not sure if this is normal?

Slowly but steadily seeing a slight difference in weigh loss and body toning.

Week 8 / Day 53

Week 8 / Day 53

This week has been a bit challenging in fitting in exercise due to work commitments and such, but I managed to fit in a few bike rides and walks in the mix. And I have successfully gone down in numbers, weight-wise and measurement-wise.

Start of the year                        Last Week                                This Week
1st January                                15th February                          22nd February
Weight: 71.4                             Weight: N/A                            Weight: 68.6cm
Waist: 86cm                              Waist: N/A                              Waist: 83.5cm

Week 7 / Day 46

Week 7 / day 46

I have started pushing myself a little bit, resulting in completing goals which I had never thought I'd ever accomplish.

I've started doing strength exercises; and for the first time in years, I have completed:
Push ups: 5 sets of 10 reps
Sit ups: 5 sets of 10 reps

This may not sound like much but I am starting off lightly and increasing my sets and reps as time goes on.

Another record and accomplishment which I am proud of achieving, and breaking my previous record, is jogging a distance of 2.25km without a break (previous record of 1.5km). And again, I will be increasing this distance and time as time goes on.
I was glad to have encouragement given to me by two strangers during my jog, telling me I'm doing a good job and to keep it up. It is great to get encouragement and motivation like this. :) I will be jumping on the bandwagon of random acts of encouragement, hoping it will be contagious.

I have been keeping up with my daily walking routine as well as adding an exercise bike routine in the mix.

Feeling good and positive now and with the weeks to come. See y'all next week.

Week 6 / Day 41

Week 6 / Day 41

This week seems to have been productive and achieving goals slowly.

I have gone down to 69kg again and been under my calorie counts, which I'm glad about. Hoping next week will be this productive

My weekly results are as follows:
Start of the year                          Last Week                                 This week

1st January                                 1st February                               8th February

Weight: 71.4                              Weight: 69.9                              Weight 69.0kg
Waist 86cm                                Waist: 86.5cm                           Waist: 85cm
Hips 83cm                                  Hips: 84cm                                Hips: 84cm
Neck 38cm                                 Neck: 38.5cm                            Neck: 38cm

I don't know if its me but I can see a slight difference between week 1 and week 6. Do you?

Week 5 / Day 32

Week 5 / Day 32

This week has been up and down for me. My exercise has been great, kicking goals and personal bests and achievements, but my food intake and diet has not been the best. I confess to overeating a fair bit and have been going out to restaurants a few times during the week. The results are as follows however:

1st January                           25th of January                           1st February
Weight: 71.4kg                     Weight: 69.5kg                            Weight: 69.9kg
Waist: 86cm                         Waist: 86cm                                 Waist: 86.5
Hips: 83cm                            Hips: 85cm                                  Hips: 84cm
Neck: 38cm                           Neck: 39cm                                  Neck: 38.5cm

I seems like my measurements are very similar since the start of the year. I think its time to focus more on toning up as well as cardio, and having proper rest.

On a positive not I feel my cardio walks / jogs / workouts are impressive, personally. I will monitor my progress in these blogs daily to see if there are any weekly improvements, whether its time or distance.

This weeks results are:
km                  duration
42.21km         5 hours, 59mins
