Over the past 2 weeks I have put on a combined weight gain of 5.8 pounds, so to lose this weight is going to take me at least another 2 weeks. So after 4 weeks I’m back to the point were I was at 4 weeks ago. By gaining weight and not seeing results week after week you are extending your weight loss journey longer than it should be. A big part of the reason why I have put this weight back on is due to overeating and lack of motivation.
I’ve set myself a target of getting my body fat percentage down to 10% before the end of 2009. A big part of me is saying you’ve still got plenty of time to reach your target. Why don’t you eat that bar of chocolate or drink that pint of cider. And that is exactly what I’ve been doing. I’m not stupid I know how I have put this 5.8 pounds back on it’s eating too many calories each day and also a reduction in my cardio workouts.
When I was on the 50,000 calories in 50 days challenge I was burning over 1000 calories a day through exercise. But I have completed that challenge and my cardio workouts have reduced dramatically. If I look at the way I’ve been eating over the last two weeks it’s reminds me of the way I use to eat and that’s now I got fat in the first place. I never want to return to those dark and gloomy days when I use to grab at my waistline and all that was there was a big handful of ugly fat.
The only way to get back on track is to start eating less again and exercising more. I’m so happy with my exercising at the moment. I’m actually looking forward to each workout. I’ve nearly finished the old school training challenge then it’s back to my heavy and intense weight training sessions. If you look at my body fat chart for the last three weeks you will notice that my body fat percentage is going down. So realistically I shouldn’t be moaning about this weight gain. Hopefully most of the weight gain is muscle which will help me to achieve my body fat target a lot quicker.
