lose weight

OK, I’ve lost weight, but I also gained a lot of it back. But now I know what’s possible and how to do it, and I can create a SMART goal.

The goal is to ‘lose weight’, yet here I am, maintaining weight. It’s a pity, because I believe the longer I’ve been at a fixed weight the more difficult it is to shift from there.

My weigh-in at the gym’s machine today reports a lower weight and an improved body fat percentage.

Slow improvement, but still not at November’s fabulous weight.

It caught me! The 92 kg monster got me! Help!

To be honest, I feared it would be worse. I’m happy that what seemed fairly thin not too long ago now feels obese.

To be honest, at the moment I am gaining weight, not losing. It seems that my good habits didn’t survive the time away. They will just have to be resurrected.

Although I feel quite fat my weight probably isn’t up by too much. I hope I’ll escape the claws of the dreaded 92 monster!

Yow! Who would have thought that? A day and a bit after getting back to the gym and after a bad week’s eating, I’m at my lowest weight ever. It was over a kilogram in a day, so it can’t last, but that’s what it is.

Either I’m damn lucky, or else some good habits are sticking. After a week of not getting to the gym and some festivities that included overeating, I have not shown any weight gain.

Tonight at Toastmasters, as I put the first snack in my mouth I remembered about the “extinction burst” and how the habit should not be encouraged in any way. After that it was easy to abstain.

I can hear it around the corner. Snuffling through its blubber, wheezing as it gets ready to grab me. It’s the 92 kg I hate so. It’s going to catch me and hold on to me and never let go.

Fortunately I found a new weapon: I’ve just learned about the extinction burst. I’m going to wield it and attack that 92 kg monster and rid myself of it for ever.

It’s not been a good week for eating moderately. Too many pie lunches and some overeating-inducing social events at work.

I did not make my Vitality weight-loss goal on the required date, I’m sad to say, but I’m sure it gave me motivation to keep losing weight.

So I’m still here, in reasonable good shape, but with a few more kilograms to go.

After a weekend of slipping slightly on the starch, my weight is still a nice one. I should be able do get rid of the extra fairly easily, but still there is no great need to. No wonder thin people can be so relaxed about their weight!
