Quick check in:
Morning
Height 5' 8" (and a half)
Weight 172lbs or 78kg in new money
BMI 26.15.
This, compared to three weeks ago, which was:
174 cm
178 lbs or 80.50kgs
34 " jeans
26.9 BMI
So my target of a couple of lbs per week is on track, even though there have been a couple of drinky days in that time and normal eating days.
My main target is <25bmi to get me into the normal range so i should be the in a month or so.
Regime, lots and lots of exercise. I have been to the gym almost every day doing long runs (up to 12km and increasing) plus fast runs interspersed (5km last night in 25 min 26 secs my fastest yet and aiming for sub 25 mins), weights, circuits (row, XT, run, steps - not the crappy ones but the ones which mimic cross country skiing - and walking the dog for a brisk 30 mins banks me 125cals.
I'm not starving myself and trying to reduce carbs from refined sources. Lots of protein and fruit and veg, for instance this mornings brekky was full pot of Longley Farm cottage cheese, coffee and an apple. I feel full, the cals were 255ish and a whopping 30grams of protein! Dinner, if the family are having a spag bol or chicken pasta, I will just have the meat and sauce.
The worrying this is sustainability and keeping this up past my targets.
