With some beers and food thrown inFat2FitGuyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07967433144163089037noreply@blogger.comBlogger113125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1157730766754917263.post-20826896824961957392016-08-29T08:12:00.000-07:002016-08-29T08:12:11.405-07:00Here we goSo, it has been a super year on all fronts. Except one - I am as big as a Kruger Park Elephant let loose in the Amazon.<br />
<br />
It's official, I am fatter than I have ever been - One Hundred and Fucking 20 point 3 Kilograms. That's 120.3kg's.<br />
<br />
More than blogging on here (which helped a lot, and which I will be doing much more of) I have used this as a tracking tool. I started tracking my weight in October 2012, since then there has been a low or 2. Lowest weigh in was 103.4kg's in May 2014, and then this morning, the highest ever, 120.3 kg's.<br />
<br />
Look, I am a happy guy, and I am still happy, and I am not crying about my weight. I do realize though that it is getting a bit out of hand, so, let's do this.<br />
<br />
Instead of just eating okay and workout out for shits and giggles, I have gone out and spend a small shit house full of cash on the following:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>A nice new Mountain Bike</li>
<li>A Cape Argus Cycle Tour Entry</li>
</ul>
Argus it is then, in 194 days.<br />
<br />
I'll try posting my progress more often, and I have promised myself that I will not be posting in RED again, ever, or until I one day start fluctuating around my goal weight, which is VERY far away. <br />
<br />
So from here on in, I will try and post once a week at least, and keep everything green over <a href="http://fatguywinning.blogspot.co.za/p/weight-loss-progress.html" target="_blank">here.</a><br />
<br />
Till next week then,<br />
<br />

Cricket in Bloem, only to see the Proteas be screwed once more by Mrs Duckworth and Lewis. That was Wednesday, back home Thursday evening, and then another 500km to do some relaxing with the wife and another couple on a sunny beach break away.<br />
<br />
I never felt like I was missing out on anything, I had drinks, I had some bad stuff, but way, way less than usual.<br />
<br />
And here is the kicker - I am 1.2 kg's down.<br />
<br />
I am happy,<br />
<br />
Here is to another great week, and another 1.2 kg's.<br />

A great week last week. Hoping for another one, although I will be driving to the cricket with some mates on Wednesday, sleeping over, back in town on Thursday, and leaving for the sea with the wife and another couple on Sunday. Back at home on Sunday.<br />
<br />
So this week will be all about choices.<br />
<br />
And keeping everything in check.<br />
<br />
And working out where possible.<br />
<br />
And not gaining any weight.<br />
<br />
Hopefully good news next week Monday.<br />

My buddies wife has decided that the groomsmen should all be wearing suspenders. Bloody hell. Ask any guy with a bit of a spare tyre round his waist if he enjoys wearing suspenders. I promise you that you wont find many. You look like a complete overweight idiot. With the suspenders sliding around, and drawing all the attention to what looks like a light bulb on your ample tummy. Especially if you are in a white shirt. Which off course we are. <br />
<br />
So there is my motivation, maybe she is doing me a favour.<br />
<br />
I'll why in today or tomorrow morning, post it, and get grilling. Now. <br />
<br />
From now on every day is Monday, at least for the next 57 days.<br />
<br />
I hate suspenders.<br />

Today was a green entry on my Kg's I have shed page. I want 8 of them, 8 weeks in a row.<br />
<br />
1/1 then<br />
<br />
Hoping t o make it 2/2 on Monday, even if it is just another 500g.<br />
<br />
Every bit helps.<br />
<br />
If I can go at 2kg's a week that would be unbelievable.<br />
<br />
I'll be back on Monday with news, of the good kind, I hope, I believe.<br />
<br />

Will do my best to blog more the next few months.<br />
<br />
Here is the plan, blog more, record more, lose more weight.<br />
<br />
3 months, first weight update tomorrow morning.<br />
<br />
Lets see what I can shed.<br />

Here we go again. Back in the plus 110 kg category! Time to start over, and what better time than the month I am turning 30 in. It's been one crazy year. Very busy, on all fronts, at the job, at home, and on the social scene.<br />
<br />
I am feeling it, and now is as good a time as ever to start transforming and blogging a little bit more, even if it is just once a week.<br />
<br />
June wont be less busy, but neither will any other of the months left in the year. So I have decided to try and change my lifestyle again, and all that goes with it.<br />
<br />
Hopefully I will be 99kg's somewhere in December. That's the goal, that is not asking to much from myself.<br />
<br />
So another Label, another challenge, 7 months to go, lots to loose, more to gain. Much More.<br />

This week has started great. Had a nice walk home from work last night and another this morning. Also had breakfast this morning, and hoping to make a habit of that. I think most of the weight I lost in the last week was probably down to me having a proper stomach bug. Still, I'll take it! Feeling better know and finishing my pills today.<br />
<br />
The plan is to keep away from sugar, starchy stuff, and the carbs. I know everyone does not believe or support the whole LCHF idea, and I am also not 100% convinced. What I will say, is that parts of it seems to work for me. Carbs definitely screw around with my blood sugar. If I stick to more salads and proteins I do have more energy. And feel fuller for longer. I am not so big on the whole fat thing though. As far as sugar is concerned, I am trying to give that a miss as far as possible.<br />
<br />
Well, still far to go. I am more than 20 kg's away from where I want to be, and about 7 away from where I have been.<br />
<br />
Hitting 99.9 kg's will be BIG. And that's about 11 kg's away. I'd like to get there before April.<br />
<br />
Let's do this.<br />
<br />
Have a good one!<br />

<br />
<h2>
Stuff I put in my mouth</h2>
<div>
Not a lot of stuff at all. </div>
<div>
Had some biltong again.</div>
<div>
Had some droewors again.</div>
<div>
Had 1 avo for an early dinner around 18:30 - I am trying to eat dinner before 19:00</div>
<div>
Avo had some lemon juice, black pepper, and cayenne pepper - was good</div>
<div>
Had water</div>
<div>
Had more water</div>
<div>
Then had some more water with some fresh lemon juice</div>
<div>
It was a very low cal day!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h2>
Stuff that made me sweat</h2>
<div>
Had a 45 minute squash game again, this time on the B court, which is further away from the entrance. I also kept my top on and definitely had more of a workout than Monday night. It is not a lot, but it is much more than doing nothing. As soon as this weather changes I'll start walking/running again.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h2>
Other stuff</h2>
<div>
It is still freezing, when I left squash last night it was 2 degrees, driving to work this morning it was minus 3 degrees. Not helping much with getting active and outside. Hopefully it passes by tomorrow and we will start having warmer days. I downloaded that C25K app, that takes you from the couch to 5km in about 10 weeks, and I am looking forward to that. </div>

<br />
Weigh in - 110.5 kg<br />
<br />
Did not have much to eat as I was still pretty stuffed from a huge late Sunday lunch.<br />
<br />
Had only a bit of biltong and about 3 litres of water.<br />
<br />
Played squash for 45 minutes. Got some blood flowing, and was a nice workout. Not to extreme though and hoping to do more tonight, maybe a jog before the squash.<br />
<br />
Until tomorrow then.<br />

It has been hunting trips, work trips, Cape Town trips, birthdays, parties, sickness, freezing weather, and many more stupid, inexcusable excuses.<br />
<br />
Bottom line - I got down to 103.4 kg's. Then ballooned back to 110.5kg's. That was the official weigh in Monday morning 8 July.<br />
<br />
Good news - I am back at it, drinking water, working out, eating right, sleeping more, and ready to dip below 100kg's.<br />
<br />
<h2>
65 DAYS</h2>
<div>
That is what is left. That is all.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Roughly 10 weeks.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I want to drop that 10 kilos, at least.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I will do it. I have to do it. I will get this done.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h2>
THE PLAN</h2>
<div>
<ol>
<li>Try and blog every day - I do better when I blog, it keeps me motivated, and helps to show me what I am doing, also, I feel like shit every time I pick up weight and need to document it, and I feel great every time I loose weight and get to document it.</li>
<li>Go high protein, veg, and no carb, low carb all the way. This is by far the best way for me to loose weight, and I have seen this time and time again, the problem is, when I hit the carbs, I tens to pick it all up again, so lifestyle change, not diet.</li>
<li>Drink Whiskey and water when I have to drink - no beers, or odd brandy and cokes, whiskey and water.</li>
<li>1 Workout every day except rest days.</li>
<li>Weigh in every Monday where possible</li>
<li>Stay positive, enjoy it, be creative with the food and workouts, do not get bored.</li>
<li>Water, water, water.</li>
</ol>
<div>
Until tomorrow then</div>
</div>

In other news, my scale is completely broken, so I have no idea ho much I have gained or lost. I will make a plan though, so I will let you know as soon as I know. I have a feeling that I lost a bit more, and would hazard a guess that I am around 102 kg's at the moment. Going to gym in my lunch hour from today, and not really looking forward to it. I need to get some training done, so I will go, ad it will be great if I can stick to it for 104 days. I know the eating only takes you so far. I want to be active at least 5 times a week, and that is the goal from now on. There are a few things I am very proud off. I have been to parties, been very social, and I have stuck to my guns. No Carbs, and only whiskey and water (which you do get used to Natalie!). The big excuse used to be our social calender. It is not an excuse any more, which is great. This week I have a function on Tuesday night, and two parties on Friday and Saturday, so I will have to behave! So here is what I want to say next week Monday:<br />
<br />
<br />
<ol>
<li>I weigh less than 100kg's - that is possible</li>
<li>I want to workout more than 5 times this week.</li>
<li>I want to stick to carb free.</li>
<li>I want to enjoy all the parties, but stay on whiskey and lots of water, no sugary stuff.</li>
</ol>

And this morning I have weighed in at a record weight, this is the lightest I have been in more than 2 years. This morning I weighed in at 103.4 kg's. I am beyond happy with this. I have not done any workout, training of any kind for at least a month, bar the odd action cricket game. I honestly have more energy than ever. And I am not having any energy spikes. I feel energized throughout the day. I have not had any carbs in about 2 weeks.<br />
<br />
This weekend we had a good friends 30th birthday on Friday night. Way to many drinks, but I stuck to just whiskey and water. And a few Jagers, unfortunately. Got in bed around 4 in the morning. Saturday another party, and more of the same, except, got in bed at 6. So not easy, at all. Still, I did not have one burger, one bite of cake, or one of the delicious mini quiches everyone was enjoying. Saturday morning everyone needed to chow something after what was one hell of a night. So off to Steers went. I ordered two beef patties with some onions in between, the were more than happy to <span style="background-color: yellow;">help me out</span>. Usually, I would have had a King Steer combo meal with a shake.<br />
<br />
Except the whiskey, I have been sticking to whole milk, water and unsweetened coffee. And I had one or two sparkling waters.<br />
<br />
I have had no refined foods, of any sort. Yes I am enjoying some steaks, eggs, tuna, and other proteins. I am also enjoying fresh leafy salads, everything done with olive oil. This is not a diet, it is a lifestyle, it might not be for everyone, but it really is working for me. I can not wait to be able to tell you I am below 100.<br />
<br />
Life is good, I am positive.<br />
<br />
Have a great week!<br />

So, from today, for the next 125 days, it will be LCHF. And back to training. It is getting cold, and winter is coming! Going to try and do lunch sessions, the gym is about 5 minutes from my work, so the plan is to get there 3 times a week, in my lunch break, do a nice 40 minute workout, get back to work, have a quick shower, and get back to work.<br />
<br />
Looking forward to it,<br />
<br />
Check back soon!<br />

We went down to Cape Town around Easter and had a nice little 8 day holiday. My wife did the two oceans Half Marathon. It was inspirational seeing all those people finish the race, young, old, fit, and fat! It is truly an inspirational event to attend, and it was good fun, people from 84 countries participate, and if you are into running, check out the worlds most beautiful race <a href="http://www.twooceansmarathon.org.za/" target="_blank">here.</a> I have always said I would love to do a half marathon, and this is the one.<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
After that I have been crazy busy at work, with functions, expo's and the like, but it has been a fun and exciting time.<br /><div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Weight loss wise I will be giving you an update tomorrow, I have not weighed in for a while, neither have I trained much, but hey, it is Monday, with 131 days to go! So back on the horse again!</div>

I figure that is why I lost a bit less than in week 1. Still, I lost another 1.1 kg's in week 2. So I am happy, I am making progress, and I am not standing still.<br />
<br />
Last week Monday I set out these goals, which I think I will set out every week from now on and give feedback on:<br />

<br />
Week one is done, and I shed a very nice 1.5 kilo's. 180 days to go, and I am hoping I can keep going at this tempo. That would be great.<br />
<br />
Here is what I did right (for me) this past week, and what I think helped me loose this first (of many) 1.5kg's:<br />
<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Water - I had buckets of water, during the week, at least 3, but sometimes even 5 litres a day. We have a cooler at work, so it is easy, and it is pretty easy to get into the habit. And I am actually enjoying it know. I had no fizzy drinks or alcohol, and only a few black coffees without sugar. So water, and more water, this week.</li>
<li>No Carbs - I had zero carbs from Monday until Friday, I enjoyed some eggs, meat and leafy salads, it was great meals, and I actually enjoyed them. I fell of the waggon a bit on the weekend, but more of that later, in the what I did wrong section.</li>
<li>Exercise - Not much to speak of - but it's more than I would normally do. Had one early morning gym session. Had a nice 3km walk with the dogs. Played one action cricket game.</li>
<li>Rest - I slept a lot, and got some good rest.</li>
</ul>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
What went wrong in week one:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>I did not get enough workouts in.</li>
<li>I had a huge weekend - that is where I fell of the carb wagon, had some sushi and pizza.</li>
<li>Had way to many beers and whiskey on Saturday.</li>
</ul>
<div>
Plans for week 2:</div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Have a lot of water again.</li>
<li>Go Carb Free again.</li>
<li>Get more workouts done.</li>
<li>Lose another 1.5 kilos.</li>
<li>Tick all these off on Monday next week.</li>
</ul>
<div>
I am happy, and in a good space, and I am going to keep this up. It's going good, there is 180 days to go. </div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Lets do this.</div>
