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

Weight-loss Surgery

​ This is difficult writing for a number of reasons. Mainly because by logging into blogging apps it has unearthed my previous blogs. These blogs were at a time I was much happier with my weight. Still very much over weight but very different to where I am in life now!  Never the less I will continue to write and document this process.  My weight has spiralled again, the heaviest I have ever been, and now I intend to do something about it on a more physical basis. In 18 days time I fly to Egypt to have bariatric surgery.  I have decided to document the journey and one day may post it for all to see, This is me, this is my journey

Egypt Day One

So I’m writing this while waiting for the aurgery. Im due to go down at 11:30 local time,  So yeaterday was travel day, we decided to leave home around 1am when our families had gone to bed. This was so as I wasnt to tired to drivining at the scheduled 4am we had planned.  We were at heathrow for 3am and ready to go. The airport was fine a little boring but what do you expect when your 6 hours early for your flight!  Then to Egypt! Even as we came into land the country looked old school. Now once we were picked up, the drive to the hospital was an experience! For a couple of says before coming I had this fear that I may die. If it was going to happen it would be this drive! The roads are crazy! No such thing as lanes or order! Every body just weaves in and out depending how fast your going!  Fortunately we survived! Emad was lovely, he checked us in to the hospital and took us down to the laboratory for blood tests. Then accompanied a porter to take us to our rooms. ...

Daddies day delight

Always time for Dad... Sometimes I to remind myself if that! Today I have adored, woken by my kids. Breakfast out as a family and then visiting loved ones Even taking a trip to the local cremitorium to lay flowers for those no longer with us With all that said and done I had to remind myself to take the time for me. Getting to the gym andhitting that work out Turned out to be a really good session.. plenty ofsweat, and tears Thats right.... tears!  During my slog on the treadmill I doubted myself, I had forgotten my Why!  I was ready to give up, walk away and make an excuse. But the I remembered... I’ve commited to something, I promised myself to create a better me. To work hard and be proudof my achievements!  So how did I pull myself through? I’ve recently set myself a target, not a weightloss target but something to achieve!  I’m going to do a super sprint triathlon 400m of swimming, 10km of cycling and then 2.5km of running All in one go, at one event This pushed...
