Every month when submitting my report to Head Office there is a section called 'Off Track' - generally i hate this item and struggle to find things that are off track. But in my personal life i can certainly find a lot that is off track.
This week is clearly 'off track' in every way possible. if the path to success is a well made road then i'm off four-wheeling in a swamp.
Today i weighed in at 99.3kg. this is very close to the whole obese thing again - i need to get back 'on track' as soon as possible. So what went off track - EVERYTHING
I need some explanation - why do we get so far and then ruin it all with a week of stuffing crap into hour bodies. Yesterday was the worst - i ate and drank everything i haven't eaten for months and then topped it off with more crap. I did run in the morning but then felt like crap - constantly thirsty and hungry with zero energy. Funny thing also was that this morning i had about 12 zits - that constitutes acne. Is it possible that i have hit an estrogen peak and it's that 'time of the month'? All weekend i was acting like a woman - very strange.
So, to get back on track i need to be under the 96kg mark by the time we leave for our holiday. That is only 11 days away - can it really be done? i need to drop the 3kg of water weight plus 1.3 of real weight - i guess the only option is low carb and 30 hour fasts again. this got me down 4.8 kg in two weeks the last time - i have some obstacles though that i need to face. First is tomorrow evening - we have a function with alcohol (i guess i need to just make it minimal) then i need to take some friends to dinner next week (i guess again i can keep this clean - just need to plan where we go). Final hurdle is fibre - had some problems with this before and this time i need to avoid hurting myself - will have a vegita each morning (when eating).
So, low cal/carb tonight, fast tomorrow, keep it clean on the dinner function (just red wine), low carb Wednesday, Thursday stop at lunch and Friday fast. Then just keep it clean and keep active for the weekend and we should be doing well. two more 30 hour fasts next week and we'll hit that 95 mark.
TT is going great, i like this stuff. I'm sweating 3 mins into the workout and really feel like I've gone hard - trying to keep the increasing of the weight though. Doing the intervals after the workout is good too but i am still lost for what to do in the off days. Being used to working out every day now i'm not comfortable and feel like i'm slacking. Might just go and do some boring cardio or walk the streets.
Chin ups are now my major issue - just can't do enough. the assisted chin up machine is too far from the squat rack so i'm doing hangs instead.
I wouldn't worry too much about trying to hit the goal so much as just trying to lose the fat in a healthy way. It's no good if you burn yourself out in a sprint to drop oh-so-many kilos if you just end up falling off the wagon right after due to the mental fatigue. Just keep everything consistent, take it slow, and see the results over the long term. That's the best advice I can offer.
