When you are trying to lose weight and lower your body fat percentage, you need to be doing things that you enjoy and are fun. I absolutely love playing golf, but during 2009 I haven’t played that many rounds. I just haven’t been able to find the time. Yesterday I played my first round in a very long time and the weather was fantastic. But it was one of the hardest courses I have ever played and every hole was a hill climb. Which was a little tiring but was fantastic for burning lots and lots of calories.
To be honest I wish I would of got myself a buggie, I know I wouldn’t of burnt the calories that I did. But my game would of been a lot better. I just didn’t have the energy to play to the best of my ability. I had a really good time though and burnt lots of calories in the process, which is what it should all be about. By doing exercise which is fun, you are more likely to stick at it and lose weight. I’ve let myself down though, I was feeling extremely hungry and we had friends round so we rang for an Indian takeaway. Which was absolutely delicious but was laden in calories.
Its Monday today and the start of a fresh week, so if I get straight back at it, I should be OK for next Fridays weekly weigh in. I need to get back at it quickly, because my target countdown is now under 200 days and the days seems to be counting down way too quickly for my liking. Ultimately I know that it is going to be a long and slow journey, and I just have to be patience with my fat loss. It will come if I make it fun and if I make a plan that I can easily stick to.
Losing weight is the easy part, but if you make losing it fun you are more likely to keep the weight off once you lose it. When I was on the 50,000 calorie challenge, looking back on it it was to much. So when I completed the challenge my exercise routines were dramatically reduced, because overall the challenge was too much and wasn’t fun. Which as resulted in poor results at the weigh in’s for several week’s now.
