Today is news years eve and I’ve decided to make this the final weekly weigh in of 2009. I’ve got a big day ahead of me in terms of calories. I’m meeting friends for a few drinks this afternoon. Then were going out for a calorie laden Indian meal around 7pm. Don’t think I’ll really be watching what I eat, but I will definitely not be drinking too much. Got to be up at 5am tomorrow morning, got a flight to catch to Benidorm Spain. Its not going to be that good of a start to 2010 diet and exercise wise. Because the first 4 days of 2010 is going to be spent in an all inclusive hotel in Spain. I’m not that worried though, because I plan on doing a few perfect push up workouts whilst I’m away to reduce the weight that I’m likely to gain.
This week has been Christmas week and I’ve ate more calories this week than I any other week in 2009. I’m expecting a weight gain of a few pounds at least this week. OK its time I got on the body fat scales to see what the damage is. The damage isn’t as bad as I thought, I’ve gained weight but its only 3.4 pounds which I can live with and my body fat percentage as gone up by 0.2%. Next year I’m going to really knuckle down and probably concentrate my goals on muscle building as well as fat loss. I’ve just started a muscle building blog to keep me motivated on my muscle building progress. Starting this fat loss blog, as been a great motivation for me this year, but the bottom line is I failed to reach my target body fat percentage of 10%.
In the end I was way off, and I’ve only got myself to blame for not reaching my goal. Exercise wise I have been brilliant and can probably count on one hand the amount of gym workouts that I missed. Its the diet part that I’ve let myself down on, there hasn’t really been one week were I’ve stuck to my diet plan 100%. 2009 as really been a roller-coaster for me on my fat loss journey and perhaps I’m not as educated on diet and exercise as I thought I was.
Like I just mentioned my main aim for 2010 is to build muscle, so I plan on totally reevaluating my diet and exercise plan to allow me to grow more muscle. I’ve got my eye on a few online muscle building programs out there. So I might buy one, then record my weekly progress on my new muscle building website. 2010 is going to be a massive year for me, I’ve achieved some success this year and lost around 40 pounds of body fat. But my plan for 2010 is to wipe the floor with this years progress and finally reach the goals that I set for myself. Whilst I’m in Spain I’m going to write down a plan and stick to it. The only thing that is stopping me succeeding is me.
