Scales show even less today (yes, i hadn’t been toilet yesterday {sorry for the TMI!}) at 61,8 kg! Yay!! *Claps hands* Waist shows -0,5 cm too =)
So -2,1 kg and -0,5 cm in 4 days -i have to say i’m happy with that! Looking forward till Saturday when it’s stat-day =D
Oh and the gym class: not so easy as thought! But good. =)
Just come home from the gym -put myself on the scales and i’ve lost 1,5kg! Since Saturday =) And i’ve eaten today already (before you say anything) 😉
Tomorrow i have a class booked at the gym;
During the class, we work with a cylindrical roller and a ball. We combine various release techniques with tools along with dynamic movement exercises to give participants a better position for performance but also to reduce the risk of injury.
The class is unique and a lot of the exercises makes “nicesore” – a type of training that not everyone might prefer, but Trigger Point will most likely attract those who already exercise regularly and feel they have a need to proactively combat the occurrence of exercise-related injuries.
I’ve never tried this class before but i think it will be good! Especially considering all my joint/soft tissue issues.
I deviated a bit from the plan -i found some soups at home! Well, two. But you can add veggies to them (yes, it says it’s allowed!) Oh heaven! Taste. Chewing. Warm.
The one i made yesterday i added some carrot, broccoli, dry fried mushrooms and garlic to. And salt and cayenne and some sambal olek too. Hmm yeah have to admit, even added a tablespoon and a half of crispy fried bacon from daughter’s food (shame on me!) Oh! And stick celery (for the “negative calories” sake! As well as taste and fibre of course). The one I made the day before that was more or less the same but with mushrooms from a jar and no broccoli or celery.
I bought more of it today -it’s this one:
It’s actually quite nice. Last time i did this diet i actually used to add some Parmesan cheese to it as well -mmmm yummy!
Today i also bought a box of smoothies -SO much better than the shakes, it actually tastes NICE! 
The shakes are killing me and i felt i needed some variation -if it’s all disgusting it’s difficult to keep up the motivation! Now there’s a good shot at succeeding =)
I think it may be time to start mixing with milk instead of water soon though, but i’m trying to put it off a bit longer, maybe now i have some more alternatives it won’t feels so bad any more.
On Saturday i will do weight and measurements -oh i need to add the measurements to the stats! Will do that right away.
*Runs off*
Ciao for now!
Oh and i just now got a text saying my parcel is ready for pick up! That means the other powder. Cooool, more choice *grins*
Today i start my 100 day “New Year New Me” Challenge!
Started diet today. Figured i’ll do VLCD (Very Low Calorie Diet) for a while.
My plan is to finish these 2 boxes, then start using another powder i’ve ordered: Complete Diet, by Fairing. Of these you’re only supposed to drink 3 per day, i’m thinking i’ll mix those with semi-skimmed milk instead of water. For several reasons:
The Nutrilett shakes give a daily total of about 560 kcal/day (varies a few kcal/bag between the tastes, the blueberry is 108 kcal and the forest fruit 117 kcal).
Semi-skimmed milk adds about 120 kcal / 100ml if i’m not mistaken – i was! it’s 40 kcal /100ml – So it’s 120 kcal per 300ml! (Usually what i use for a shake)
Fairing’s Complete diet only gives you 510 kcal /day. 3 shakes a day a´300 ml milk (120 kcal) = 510 + (120*3) = 510 + 360 = 870 kcal /day.
I think that’s pretty acceptable. The tub will last a week i think.
Week 3 i am not sure how i’ll do yet.
I am in the process of setting up a body stats page (it’s located under the Challenge page).
….when i booked those classes! The one for today starts the same time i have to leave home for my course o.O And the one on Sunday i’m not sure i’ll be able to go to either… *sigh* helps if you think sometimes! I AM going to the PT-meeting though! That’s tomorrow. I’ll let you know what’s said there =)
Been outta action for a long time but now i’m back!
Got a new gym membership as of today (had to end the last one of financial reasons) and on friday i have my first of three meetings with a PT. It’s part of a 8 week program where you meet a PT 3 times, first time an hour and the other two times for 30 mins each. You set goals and exercise, check-in and, well yeah, exercise.
I’ve also booked two classes so far;
So where am i today? Right back at square one!
Went to look at a different gym the other day, but it didn’t suit me -not nearly enough machines! Also it has no child minding facilities. But i did get to stand on a Tanita scale!
The result – UGH!
Oh, you wanted numbers? OK, then…
My height and age, body type standard and then it says clothes weight 1 Kg.
Now i don’t know if that is already taken off the result or not -i hope not!
Weight: 63,5 kg
Fat %: 33,3 % (yes jaw drop!)
Fat Mass: 21,1 kg
FFM (according to Google this should be FatFreeMass): 42,4 kg
Muscle Mass: 40,2 kg
TBW (Total Body Water): 29,7 kg
TBW %: 46,8 %
Bone Mass: 2,2 kg
BMI: 26,1 (Wtf?!)
Ideal Body Weight: 53,5 kg (do i even dare publish that??)
Fat %: 21,0 – 32,9%
Fat Mass: 11,3 – 20,8 kg
Target BF% is 25%
Predicted weight: 56,5 kg
Predicted fat mass: 14,1 kg
Fat to lose: 7 kg.
So….
7 kg. So i guess that’s the new challenge then!
Now, i just have to decide how to set it up…
Let’s do it like this:
As a preliminary challenge my goal will be to lose 7 kg in 12 weeks. BUT with the caveat that i know i will build a lot of muscle, so as long as muscle increase and lack of weight decrease corresponds (and fat still lessens in % or cm), i will not worry too much about it.
~ thinking about it ~
Let’s see what PT says for specifics…
By Friday i will have a 8 week plan.
Oh and the Challenge starts on Friday!
Anyone wanna join me? Just give me a shout!
