eccc whippet Posted September 20, 2017 Author Posted September 20, 2017 well done for going in the right direction.now just imagine if you replaced that toast and peanut butter for something with more quaity, you could have lost a few more grams.that call to a lady (the one who you gave me her number) about a plan is going to happen sooner than later... 80 % commitment for now ...will step it up as we go. the results on the trainer last night were a good indication that we are heading in the right direction...havent managed to maintain that kind of wattage for 20 min in a while. i cant allow myles or my wife to beat me at a game i have been playing for a long time...and had good results in the past.
Vetseun Posted September 20, 2017 Posted September 20, 2017 i love the taste of sugar my eating disorder got out of hand when i gave up smoking many years ago...after smoking anything that could burn...through anything that could hold water or milk or just a plain old piece of newspaper...my taste buds went nuts when they realized how good shyte tasted. it would become a multi billion rand industry if every sugar addict went to a shrink for help. Sugar is the most evil drug on the face of this earth.
Fat Boab Posted September 20, 2017 Posted September 20, 2017 Sugar is the most evil drug on the face of this earth. Nope, it's just flavour of the month.......
nickc Posted September 20, 2017 Posted September 20, 2017 Sugar is the most evil drug on the face of this earth. Ranks up there with Cocaine and Nicotine in terms of addiction.
nickc Posted September 20, 2017 Posted September 20, 2017 And unfortuantly there is nothing more satisfying at the end of a real hard, hot toss your cookies afkak ride in 42 degrees heat and dust than a can of ice cold coke. Just makes things harder

eccc whippet Posted September 21, 2017 Author Posted September 21, 2017 101.2 kg went for my second run yesterday...note to myself...dont forget the ipod...running sux as it is...without tunes I nearly gave up after 1 km...felt like i was being hit around the knee cap with a small hammer. eating on track...no junk. good sleep last night. coffee no sugar from today.
eccc whippet Posted September 21, 2017 Author Posted September 21, 2017 Nice onewe can do this thing...i am so focued at the moment i can see 90 kg...i would rather be bouncing between 90 -95 than 103-107 kg which seem to be a comfortable weight for me. do what you have to to make it work...use what ever it takes to motivate yourself to make it happen. the only reason i am going for 90 kg is to get the gut out the way... everyday on my trainer...made up of a bicycle someone was throwing away ...and a cheapie giant trainer... i have no excuses...not the rain...or the partner who didnt pitch...or I am scared to get out on the road 2 years after an accident which still haunts me...or i dont have petrol to drive to the trail...i get my fat ass out of bed and i do my 30 min in the morning and the 30 min evening...by doing this it makes me watch what i put in my mouth...all that effort cant go to waste on a cup cake or packet of chips etc...thats what is driving me to control what goes in my mouth...it may not be the best choice of food...but it is working for me. my second run last night felt great compared to my first run ...thanks to the gut being a little smaller...i did have a compression shirt on to stop it from slapping me in the face...but lets rather say it was due to less gut and being lighter [emoji3] v
eccc whippet Posted September 22, 2017 Author Posted September 22, 2017 102.5 kg the result of excuses...had a really bad day yesterday. what i learnt from yesterday. make a list and stay focused while in the shop...those isles at the till with all the sweats and chocolates should be illegal...not only because of us fatties trying to loose weight...but all the whining children..."i want a sweat"...where it all begins...i am surprised they dont give the chocolates away to the kids who arent addicted yet buying biltong to snack on...get the biltong packed into small packets...dont buy a big packet to sort out at home...it might be finished by the time you get home...then see how *** the stuff makes you feel when you eat too much (just proves how bad it is for you...you dont get that sick feeling when you eat fruit or vegetables) running sux...still feeling broken after that run on wednesday....for now focus on the cycling ...not doing the comrades doing the amashova in a couple weeks..then try the running again. not ok to have just 1 coke zero. my punishment today...1 hour on the trainer with no tunes...no fan...no phone and a steady 28 km/hr slow pedal ..thats gona hurt the crotch and drive me nuts.

As useful as it is to weigh every day and review, one has to be careful of being unreasonable on oneself - remember balance? We all have a day-to-day weight fluctuation - up and down - water retention, fat depletion, one meal ahead, one *** behind etc. True fat loss/gain requires 7000 kcal per kg. If your weight goes up by 1.3kg, it's unlikely that you consumed a calorie credit of over 9000 kcal. Keep reviewing your daily weight, understand how big your natural, short term swings are, and respond to longer term, average trends. IMHO.

If you see training as a means by which to punish yourself for falling off the eating wagon, you are never going to enjoy it and will start to dread it - meaning you eventually will stop training. You need to try and enjoy the process of training - it is a lifestyle change and you need to embrace that.

So it could be as simple as some water having not gone through the system yet, or being retained due to a slight increase in carbohydrate consumption or insulin spike.

So it could be as simple as some water having not gone through the system yet, or being retained due to a slight increase in carbohydrate consumption or insulin spike. Some more on this. Some of my weight data from last year. The first way of plotting, suggests the data is connected by straight lines. If I had obsessed about day to day trends, I'd have freaked! eg over 2-3 days, my weight often swung by over 1kg. But plot the same data as a longer term trend (below), and all looked good. A gradual downward trend. No need to panic, no need to castigate myself, just kept on with the good work and let it run. Hope this helps?
