A Cup of Wee

I knew the final 1000 grams was going to be tough and I hope for my sake that the two week cycle that seems to have occurred in my project comes to fruition and I show real progress on the last stint next week. But for the week just gone, let me tell you how I got on.

I guess I did celebrate the fact that I was under 91kgs last week and had since lost 10kg's. This meant a couple of days holiday from the gym. But that was strategic because my next big goal has started. The Strait to Strait Cycle Challenge.Yep, from Cook to Foveaux on a spin bike. It is a race mind you and the competition is fierce and might end up out in the carpark gloves off style. So two days into that and on the first day I travelled 29.01km in an hour which is the time limit per day allowance for all competitors and today I managed to stretch that out to 29.23km.  This fanatical gym lady completed 38km today, and that is just unreal. It must have been  no resistance at all, and if that's my case, I bounce around like a little rubber ball which if you land wrong hurts some other little balls.

My eating has been pretty good, and I have noticed that portion sizes have become smaller and that has become habitual which is a good thing. I did however make an apple crumble to use the apples from our golden delicious apple tree. Why do my apple crumbles never come out as good as my Nana's? Well truth be known as I just spoke to her, she guesses the ingredients and if its measured uses the term ounces. I thought the only thing these days that were measured in ounces were green and usually go up in smoke.

Oh well, what did I lose this week? Let me show you.
Yes, a cup off wee.

Start Weight 101kgs
Last week 90.9kgs
Today 90.8kgs.

  1. Well done, but can I ask - how do you know how much a cup of wee is?

  2. 100 mls of water is 100 grams. Roughly what I lost in the week. I'm not game enough to measure a number 2.
