Upping Your Game To Lose More Weight

I got up this morning at 6am and instead of putting on my sweat suit and jumping on to my stationery exercise bike for one hour. I made the decision to get back into bed and reset my alarm clock to 7 am. Apart of me is really upset that I did this, but there’s another part of me that’s saying I’m glad I did it. At the moment I’m feeling a little over trained combine that with my reduced calorie diet and I so needed that extra one hour in bed this morning.

I woke back up at 7am feeling much better and went off to do my day’s work. When I got home from work  my brain was telling me you need to step it now. So I jumped onto the exercise bike and instead of training at level 4 for one hour which I have been doing for the last 4 weeks. I decided to up my game a little and train at level 5. The results at the end of the one hour session were a little bit more painful I could really feel the burn in my thigh muscles. But by increasing the resistance from level 4 to level 5 I have been able to burn off an extra 90 calories. Which is going to really help me on my 50,000 calories in 50 day challenge. Which I’m still slightly behind on even though I’ve had a fantastic week so far and burned off a load of extra calories through exercise.

It’s my weekly weigh in, in the morning and I must say I’m really looking forward to it. I feel like I’ve made some more progress this week. Hopefully when I step onto my body fat scales in the morning I will see another drop in my body fat percentage. My target weight is 200 pounds and I’m almost certain I am going to reach that this week,  but losing weight isn’t what I’m thinking about at the moment it’s reducing my body fat percentage that is the most important thing to me now.

I’m not finished with my cardio workouts today though I intend on getting a quick 30 minute high intensity interval training workout in, which will allow me to burn off a further 400 calories. Then I’m going to pamper myself and have a nice hot soak in the bath for one hour. No distractions just me and my music. Thanks to this blog and the kind words from some of my readers I am feeling more focused and motivated than I have ever been in my whole entire life.
