| The right side of 17 |
Not a whole lot of change there, but I'm by no means disappointed. The pragmatist in me is whispering in my ear that I've lost 7lbs in two weeks, which is a fantastic outcome, regardless of the fact that over the past 7 days I've only managed to shift 1lb. Instead I'm going to look at the positives. I've lost weight despite eating a lot more than I needed to at a family BBQ on Saturday, which was swiftly followed up by a couple of ciders in the evening. My Sunday turned into a write off too as the lure of chocolate proved greater than my desire to work off the sausages and burgers from the day before.
I'm pleased to have continued with my weekday gym activity, having hit the treadmill 4 times - the 5th wasn't possible due to a meeting in London, where I managed to squeeze in a reasonable amount of walking to and from stations. My running hasn't particularly improved in terms of distance, though I'm aware I'm always up against the clock trying to fit in exercise during my lunch hour. Yesterday's session was somewhat disrupted by a tightening of my right calf muscle, which caused me to lighten the workout. I don't want to act like a precious professional footballer, but if something doesn't feel quite right it is better to pay attention rather than make the situation worse. After resting up last night, my leg feels better this morning and we'll have to see if I can put it to the test again later today.
I've had a recommendation to check out Joel Fuhrman's book Eat To Live. Ordinarily I'd avoid reading material that concerns diets as I've always been of the belief that a diet is a personal journey for discovering what works for you and how to motivate yourself along the way. However, as a free copy is available to download from here I may give it a whirl and see what Joel has to say.
A bit of advance warning - there won't be a weigh-in next Wednesday, but come back in two weeks time to see how things have progressed.
