My Friends Wedding Weekend

One of the main reasons I have been working so hard to lose weight and lower my body fat percentage is my friends wedding. Well I did it mainly for the stag party that we had in Spain a few weeks ago. I didn’t want to hit the beach looking fat and out of shape. Lots of people who were on the party I hadn’t seen me for years, I didn’t want them thinking ‘Oh my god Keith’s really let himself go. I’ve worked my butt off exercising which I’m really proud of.

I’ve just tried my suit on and I’m pleased to say that I can fit in it quite comfortably now which is good news. My friend gets married tomorrow which is a Sunday, and we have got a big night out planned for tonight. Were meeting in our local pub at 7pm for drinks then were off to our favorite Chinese restaurant the Cathay Dynasty at 8pm. The food there is fantastic and when I go I always go to town on the food and overeat quite a bit.

This weekend isn’t going to do my fat loss progress any good at all. I plan on getting a one hour weight training session in just before I go out tonight. Hopefully this will elevate my metabolism enough to burn off the excess calories I will be consuming tonight. Once this weekend is over I am going to knuckle down big time and really move forward with my fat loss.

Fat loss is a lot harder than I had imagined. In the past I always gauged my progress on how much weight I had lost. Boy was I wrong, weight loss means nothing if the weight that you are losing is mostly muscle. By losing muscle not only are you reducing your resting metabolism, but your body begins to develop that skinny fat guy look which is extremely unattractive.

I know what I need to do and I plan on executing it and sticking to my diet plan. But I plan on enjoying myself this weekend and if this means drinking lots of booze and eating junk food so be it. I will just jump back on the saddle on Monday morning and move forward until I reach my target of 10% body fat. It’s going to be a long journey which I plan on being on till the bitter end.
