SW: Error (Probably ~155kg)
CW: 144.0kg
GW: 100kg(?)
OK! First month done. Pretty happy with myself. This week's weigh in was the lowest 'drop' I've had, went from 144.9kg to 144.0kg. Not sad about it, knew it was all going to slow down sooner or later. Obviously an average of 2.5kg loss a week is awesome. The plan for month 2 is to up the walking... I have dogs we walk for 30mins a day ... we're gonna up that.
I'm still doing 2x shakes and a pre-made health meal a day. Occasionally throw some healthy snacks in there -- avocado and rice cakes / fruit / nuts or whatever.
MFP has been good, keeps me honest. MFP daily goal is 2,260cal a day. I am trying to stick around the 12-1800 mark and for the most part I have managed. There has only been 1 day where I've blown over the MFP calorie goal and that was when I had a Hungry Jacks (Burger King) cheat meal last week after having a few beers at a work do. Though it tasted delicious I felt pretty bad about it. Which I know I shouldn't coz I mean fuck me it was 1 meal and I had been out drinking with work mates but yeah, probably shouldn't have bothered. If I'd held out for another 45mins I'd have been home and could have had something healthy but I was hungry and it was late and fuck it, I had it.
This entire month I've only had 4 pints of light lager (see above) and 3 cans of mid strength. Coming from a bloke who would drink an average of 6-8 cans of full strength a night and 2x/3x that on the weekend, I'm really happy about this. I have a can of mid strength for each half of the rugby game I go watch with my mate. Means I can drive there and back and again, thanks to MFP I now know just how bad getting on the piss really is for the calorie conscious. I've also binned cheese and bread which was pretty much the entirety of my diet. You wouldn't know it to look at me but I am a vegetarian, obviously one of the less healthy ones... as I've mentioned in previous posts: beer, cheese and bread was pretty much my staple diet.
In terms of 'do I feel different?' -- no. I mean it's only the first month and I've only lost 10kg ... my back still hurts, I still look fucking terrible and I'm not all of a sudden doing back flips. I don't think I can even tie my laces without breathing weird. It's pretty disgusting to think about to be honest, I do feel ashamed of myself but, again, fuck it. We've made a start and we're on our way. I don't intend to quit.
I will probably check in again next month ... I'll keep these updates to monthly now but might throw in a mid-month update if I need to feel accountable. Other than my misses and my mum, I'm not really advertising my journey publicly because I'm just too fuckin' embarrassed but it will come. I'm sure sooner or later I'll be able to open my wardrobe back up and get into some clothes I used to wear and then in time surpass even them. I've put 30kg on in 2 years ... I need to lose that 30 + another 20 I reckon. Fuck knows how much loose skin I'm gonna have but I imagine it will be lots.
Good luck you guys, I hope you all keep on keeping on.
