Hope

Hope everyone that reads this has a good Christmas and a fantastic 2013.

Thats the lot for this year

Just made my 2,100 cals per day target for this week and with the holiday season almost upon us I'm putting weight loss plans on hold while the new year.

For the record here are my daily totals -
Monday - 2167cals
Tuesday - 2050cals
Wednesday - 2268cals
Thursday - 1992cals
Friday - 2135cals
Saturday - 2046cals
Sunday - 2031cals

Daily Average - 2098cals.

Did weigh myself at 195lbs this morning so its basically a 8lb loss over the 7 weeks of this weekly calorie cutting challenge. I'm sure I'll put a few pounds back during the festive period but plan to jump straight back into action in 2013.
Need to push on in January and have considered keeping the 2100 calorie target but am so determined have decided to drop that another 100 cals to 2,000per day (at least for a month or so). Have highlighted areas i believe i can cut back so why not.

Well it is nearly Christmas

Got to report I just failed to reach my calorie target this week, I averaged 2156cals when aiming for 2150 (ok only 6 cals per day above my target). Still I'll be dropping my target to 2100cals per day this week.

For the record here are my daily totals -
Monday - 2118cals
Tuesday - 2140cals
Wednesday - 2083cals
Thursday - 2249cals
Friday - 2461cals
Saturday - 1935cals
Sunday - 2106cals

Average - 2156cals.

As you can see I was actually below target on 5 of the days and I can explain the others, basically my worst day Friday was because I was at a Christmas dinner and of course I consummed too much. Maybe as it was a one off shouldn't count that day, suppose its wrong time of year for the diet to be too strict.

Thursday afternoon went for a drink with a good friend in York, just catching up and a good chat, something we do occasionally.

Was playing British League table tennis at weekend and it was a unbelievable, we started the weekend 2nd bottom of the table and thinking about how we could avoid relegation. Never known anything like it, 3 wins and a draw was a fantastic achievement for us but it got better and better as other results turned the table on its head and we finished top of the table. Its amazing with just one point separating the top 5 teams.
Two more weekends (6 matches to go), we are now thinking about winning it, considering our squads individual rankings think unbelievable is the right word.

Day Off

Actually had a day off from my weight loss plan this week, Saturday a few of us from my Pool team took out our ex landlord who as retired from running the pub. Was good fun but with a bit of beer flowing, out for a meal, etc it was silly to do my calorie counting.

So the other 6 days I was on my plan and over them days I averaged 2189 cals per day which of course was below the 2200cal target.

For the record here are my daily totals -
Monday - 2208cals
Tuesday - 2189cals
Wednesday - 2243cals
Thursday - 2162cals
Friday - 2166cals
Saturday - day off
Sunday - 2165cals

Average - 2189cals (6 days).

So for this week I drop my target to 2150cals, could be tough because a look at last week shows i didn't have a single day below that level so going to have to work at it, still confident though.
