B's life

I can now confirm that Large is my new wardrobe size. The last time I can remember wearing a Large was probably 4-5 years ago. I might be around the same weight as then too. I remember weighing around 86-87kg which is roughly the same as now.

I believe whatever I am doing is working for me. I think this is a definitive progress as a few months ago I dropped from an XXL size to XL. If everything is going well I hope that in a few months I will be wearing a medium size or a tight fit sports shirt. All that is to be done is to carry on what I am doing and not to give up.

This loss of weight has mostly affected my trousers and jeans than my t-shirt. All of my trousers are too loose on me. To give you an idea, if I wear a belt on my jeans and if someone pulled my jeans down it will still go down as its barely hanging on me. Worst is that I cannot afford to pay for new trousers & jogging.

Today I’ve done some strength training all around. Here is what I have done:

• 10 min warmup
• 4 sets on lat pullups
• 4 sets on triceps
• 3 sets on triceps+chest pushdowns
• 3 sets on quad
• 3 sets on quad curls
• 4 sets on chest push
• 3min rewarmup
• 3 sets of crunches
• 3 sets of leg raises

It seems that I now need to increase activity on my core and find new techniques, I will try to save up and pay for a personal trainer to teach me some new activities to do to keep me at it for a few weeks so that I don’t get bored.

Today I ate 2/3 of an ice-cream and threw the rest away, I was just craving for one after dinner. So the ice-cream intake just came around 120cal (its the mini magnum with double caramel.

I also started to feel some joint pain, I might get some jointace.

I am also planning on getting a new pair of shoes tomorrow

But in other news:

I have started to get a good hang on my food intake for two weeks now, I have lowered my choco intake aswell as sugar intake. I have replaced them with fruits and other nutrients with fructose.

I did have one little bit of choco and diet coke on Sunday under moderation as I didn’t want to turn like those people who starve themselves silly of life.
