Didn't Believe My Eyes

This morning was weigh in day, and because my little boy Dylan was awake at 5:55am I jumped out of bed to give Het another 10 minutes in bed who's normal alarm goes off at 6:12am. The main reason of course, it being weigh in day and I had a clue that I had been going well. I jumped on the scales and what they told me I did not believe. I readjusted the digital scales but they gave me the same result. With that in mind I filled my belly up with a cup of coffee and two poached eggs and weighed myself with a more of a believable result. Tell you more about that in a moment.
I will admit after last weeks disappointment gaining 100 grams that this week was going to be very self disciplined. Yes there was ice cream in the house but I believe I did only have one. I replaced it with apples and a whole heap of in season strawberries. They do make a great desert. Otherwise my food intake was very good. Hardly any snacks, and if they were they were normally tomato and a thin layer of tasty cheese on crackers. I also had a few wraps loaded with a fresh salad, the crumbed chicken and garlic one being my favourite.

This is in image of me on the last day of Movember which concluded this week. Maybe the mo was weighing me down.

My exercise was very dedicated this week and I think I had maybe just 2 days off all week. I have been concentrating on working out longer and every-time trying to push myself further than my previous visit. For example increasing the level on the cross trainer for longer, and in running going faster and faster for as long as it takes to listen to 8 songs on my mp3 player, increasing speed .1 every song. It helps keep track of how many songs I have listened to. My best effort was 60 minutes on the cross trainer burning 1055 calories.
So I had a very busy weekend, which meant that I had to be committed to my exercise and knew that I had a drinking opportunity on Sunday night. But with careful planning I made it through without resorting to junk food. I also only consumed a minimal amount of alcohol and that is hard when it is free.
So how did I go? Well the official figure is....95.3kg meaning that in 1 month and 6 days I am over half way starting my Project Sub 90 at 101kg. That's a 5.2 kg loss. I am wrapped, but I tell you, I thought the initial read of 94.6kg was a little too good to be true :)
