March results

Goddaj,

Well it’s time for the results from March. I think there has been a general slow down in weight loss as it is 3 months now since I started. But that is to be expected. A body cannot maintain high weight loss as it wants to hold on to weight – like a safety blanket. I’m actually very happy with my overall results for March (4.2kg) – even though I did not meet my goal (it was too high a target to realistically reach) I know that I did well in March with my diet and exercise.

Walking home across the bridge is now so easy – I barely raise a sweat – so I have been doing gym sessions beforehand. On Sunday I got up early (for a SundayJ) and drove to work to use the Gym. I did a good 40 mins on the Cross Trainer – steadily increasing to maximum resistance. I then wanted to do more…… but….. I didn’t want to do the normal things – I wanted to do something different. So… I looked around the Gym – and found something that I wanted to do. Organise the Gym!!

I picked up all the weights from all over the Gym – from 25kg to 1.25kg and organised them in their racks from smallest to largest. I picked up the hand weights & placed them in a row in order. Organised the medicine balls & fit balls, moved around the benched to be better placed & heaps more. By the time I was finished, I had a good work out & the Gym looked immaculate! Took about 30 mins! And my legs were sore after! I then also went for another 15 mins interval training on the treadmill.

On Sunday I then went for a great drive – to celebrate my 10 year anniversary with my beloved Pulsar SSS – you’ve prob seen my photos on Facebook. I took my car to some great locations & took photos – Cremorne Point, Curl Curl, Manly Vale & others. It was a lovely drive, and my car is still going as well as ever. Photo below at Curl Curl – and you can see my changing body! Compare that photo to one at Sculptures in the same shirt in 2007…

Now

Then
Also I’m beginning to fit into ‘off the rack’ regular size clothes!!! I was in Chatswood on Monday and DJ’s had a great menswear sale on. I picked up a ‘Gazman’ polo shirt in XXL – and IT FIT!!! I was so stoked! I also got a Polo XXL jumper/hoodie for winter – THAT FIT!! And finally I saw the most beautiful pink Gant button up short sleeve shirt. It was really nice – and 50% off! I tried it on and guess what? IT DIDN’T FIT! But… it almost fit – It was about 3 cm from fitting – so I bought it too! I really liked it – and it WILL FIT very soon! It was such a great feeling to be able to buy clothes from DJ’s – I have NEVER bought clothes from DJ’s before! I normally go to Target and get 7XL clothes!


So on to my results from March:

Weight
Original – 150 / February – 137.5 / Now – 133.3 = overall loss of 16.7 kgs!

Waist
Original – 157cm / February – 142cm / Now 138cm = loss of 19cm

Chest
Original – 136cm / February – 129cm / Now – 126cm = loss of 10cm

Leg
Original – 81cm / February – 75cm / Now – 73cm = loss of 8cm

I also have a couple or results to report from my recent tests at the doctor. There’s a heap but these are the only ones I understand! I put in my result & the target range:

Blood Glucose = 4.6 (normal range 3.4 – 5.4)
Cholesterol = 4.9 (normal range 3.5 – 5.4)

So that’s my results so far – I’m happy with my progress – correction VERY HAPPY with my progress – and the best thing is I’m still motivated – and looking forward to being in the 120’s!

So to my goals in April.

I’ll put a realistic & a stretch goal for April below;

Realistic goal – 128 kilos – that’s a weight loss of 5.3 kilos
Stretch goal – 126 kilos – that’s a weight loss of 7.3 kilos.

The reason for 126 as a goal – is that 126 kg’s will be the LOWEST WEIGHT I HAVE EVER BEEN IN 10 YEARS!!!!! Not a bad goal huh!

Thanks all for reading. Please give me your feedback via this site or Facebook.
