Week Six: Weigh In Update

 

Hello again and sorry for the massive jump/ gap in weigh in updates. I'm here to fill you in on everything that's happened in the last 5 weeks and most importantly my weigh in and donations update.

So, my starting weight on 1st March was 97.9kg / 15 st. 5 lbs, and as of 10th April my weigh in is showing me to be 91.3kg / 14 st. 5lbs, which means in 6 weeks, I've lost 6.6kg/ 1 stone. In the last 6 weeks I have completely followed the rules I have set for myself and avoided all things that I would find tempting, and I'm beginning to feel less tempted by them as a result.


Don't misunderstand me, I've not gone out of my way to avoid being in a situation that would tempt me, instead, I've embraced situations that will tempt me and then proven to myself that my resilience is stronger than the temptation. I have still eaten out at restaurants, but have resisted ordering unhealthy starters and said no to any desserts - that doesn't mean that other people can't have them who are with me. It's not cruel or unfair, instead it just proves further that I can beat the temptation. An example of this is when I go to GBK and order a salad and a tap water (proof is in the pic above) - yes I know, it seems unbelievable to do that, but believe it or not, their salads are also delicious, and well worth trying. The other option is to have a 'naked' burger without the bun, but with the Burger I usually order, a salad is still the healthier choice.

At the same time, I've also been keeping up with my exercise, regularly going to the gym and seeing my Personal Trainer once a week. Saying that though, for the last 2 weeks, I've been feeling really ill (not as a result of the DECHOX) so I've not been to the gym since around 29th March 🙈 In my defence though, I've also been home sick from work since 3rd April. I've not been skiving from the gym, I've been ill. As a result, I've lost my appetite and although I've still made myself eat, I've been eating a lot less, but still keeping to what I have allowed myself to eat.

I've been told by the doctor that I need to eat a few carbs, but I've still kept to my rules as much as possible, so I've had a little bit of bread but avoided pasta and rice, and mostly just stuck to the Dark Rye Ryvita that I eat anyway.

If I've impressed you with my progress and you'd like to donate some money to the cause, and sponsor my Dechox, you can do so by clicking the button at the bottom of the page :)

Thanks in advance!
