Gravity....

Its time again for Wednesday wisdoms

This week I am looking at our relationship wkth the earth! I’m not talkjg about Greta Thunberg and Eco friendly products!!

I’m talking about the effect gravity has on us and what we call weight

Throughout my weightloss journey I have focused on what the scales say. There was a time I would get caught up on what it said and whether I have lost weight or not.

However this has changed
How?

Well for one I weigh every day, fiest thing in the morning

I log each days weights and then I take an average each sunday and compare that to the previous weeks average

Why?

I do this because I understand that weight changes several times thriughout the day based on so many factors

Water retention
Bowel movements
When I last ate
Etc

So if I only weigh once a week there is a chance it could be affected by by any one of these factors

Here’s an example...

Monday I weigh 436 and then the following Monday I weighed 437

So I gained 1lbs right?? 

WRONG!!

Because I took an average my average was down from 436.2 to 434.6

Monitoring weight in such a way I feel is mich more accurate.. however you do have to be prepared

Prepared that some days may show higher than others

Weekly Round Up

So its been 1 week of the Bali 3.0 Reading through the JSAM page there has been some fantastic starts!  Personally I set my self a target to lose 30lbs over the 12 weeks. Now anyone following JSA will know that weighing yourself is something of less importance and instead using measurements and pictures to monitor progress. However for someone being so obese the numbers really matter. I started this challenge weighing an average of 408.5lbs. I say average as I weigh every day and then work out the weeks average. This is for mainly reasons that James talks about. The body alters weight hourly based on water intake, food eaten etc.  So doing it daily gives me a truer reflection on current weight, although still never going to be completely accurate. This week I averaged 403.7lbs, almost 5lbs weight lose.  I did also take body measurements and I have lost around 13.5 inches over those measurements. Sounds good right?!  Damn right its fucking good! I have worked my ass o...

Timing ⏱

I’ve thought long and hard about this blog, started typing then started over.  I wanted talk about time .... ⏱ It goes so fast, I mean already we are in May.. soon to be June, 3 weeks into the Bali challenge and times not stopping for anyone!  Time is something so precious and yet is something often used as a way out. I’m a prime example of not having enough time, or at least saying I don’t. And I  wanted to break it down... show how my time was spent and how it could be improved, but instead: I want to emphasis on timing..  When things happen and how it affects us... There have been some times in my life when things have been bad.  I hit some serious low points... One thing consistant at all of those times was my support.. my family were amazing, but an unexpected friendship formed at just the right TIME Aaron Aaron is my age, we played in the same rugby team. Aaron was, well different. He was a lads lad and wouldn’t think twice about abusing someone.  He...

A time to quit...

It has to be said that this week has been the toughest yet! I have struggled on many levels whichhas resulted in my weekly average increasing by 0.5lbs. Is it time to throw in the towel? For many of years I have tried dieting of all forms. And after a week like this I would have given up, hit self destruct and spiralled back to my old ways.  Maybe its time give up.. maybe I have rode the wave and its time to get off. I don’t fuc*ing think so! Today was a lightbulb moment 💡 After feeling shit about how my daily weights had averaged out I took this little beaut for a walk to see the swans 🦢 While out she had a little trip and wanted to be carried back to the car. I carried her for less than 600 fitbit steps.... But had to change her from arm to arm several times, lift her up as she was falling down and my back ached all the way back to the car. 24.5 x 3.5 + 4.25 = 90 Florence weighs 24.5lbs Last November I was carrying 3.5 Florences and an added extra everywhere I went Not just 600...
