Wooo Whooo
I have been chomping at the bit all day to do this post, I did my weigh in and measurements and although I still can’t get a weight out of the scales I did get a very positive result from my measurements;
- chest went from - 142 cm / 55.9 inches to 138.5 cm / 54.5 inches
- waist went from - 148 cm / 58.2 inches to 147 cm / 57.8 inches
- hips went from - 148 cm / 58.2 inches to 146 cm / 57.5 inches
So in total I lost 6.5 cm / 2.5 inches in one week and I am over the moon! I didn’t realise how effective exercise alone could be especially when I am only doing it every other day. In the past I haven’t taken such a slow and deliberate approach, I would try and achieve in 6 weeks what I plan to do in 21 with this plan.
I am hoping that this slower approach continues to work, it is a complete change of my usual habits when it comes to exercise and dieting (In the past I have done the Hero thing and done everything at once) and as I have been a miserable failure at reaching my fitness goals in the last 10 years I am guessing that a change in tactic might be the answer. In fact I am sitting here wondering why the hell I didn’t think of that before, I mean really lets do the same thing over and over again for ten years - fail and think that if i do the same thing again I might get a different result…what a f…ing idiot, I mean seriously what was I thinking!!!
OK calm down, enough self flagellation, If the plan continues to work then I can continue to rant another time. I must say I have felt really good the last couple of days and have had plenty of energy and I was really positive I would get a good result today, it all just felt right. So fingers crossed for the next wee while and all should be good in the world.

Well done, aren’t you a clever thing?!! Of course exercise and diet are the way to go - a blind man with a bag over his head can see that. Unfortunately, most of us are too busy looking outside ourselves or to someone else for quick answers that we can’t or won’t see the bleeding obvious. Keep up the good work.

Yay!!!! There’s nothing like positive results to keep the motivation going.
I agree that a slow lifestyle change that you can maintain and live with for rest of your life is the way to go. There’s no point in going hard at it with obsessive and restrictive rules that are begging to be broken in a spectacular fashion

Go you good thing!!!
That is awesome…well done. and yes, as Nese says, there is nothing like starting to see the results to get the movitation to keep going. By tackling it slowly you are giving your body so much more chance to get used to it and not launch an attack against it…keep up the good work!
And don’t be too hard on yourself…look at what you have done over the last 10 years. You’re focus has been on getting your life and business to where it is. Yes, now that everythings kinda set up, the first thing you’ve done is turn the attention back onto your fitness and health.
And this blog is just ingenious - so you’re a hero in my book! Keep it up!
