          bit of a blip on the weight loss, 97.5 on Wed, 97.9 yesterday and 97.7 this morning. <br />
          <br />
          Wed was a rest day, but had a good workout last night.<br />
          <br />
          Am going to change my exercise programme next week to be more specific whereas to date I have been doing more generic stuff to get into a routine.

            don't weight yourself every day - natural fluctuation. Only weight yourself every day in the week leading up to a competition, and as there will never be a week like that (in the foreseeable future I expect), once a week should be fine! I am loving it, once a month when I go and see diet guru pretty much. Last time plesant surtprise, lighter than I thought I'd be, but then should have known, as the belt is still loose enough to wear on the first notch - usually on 2nd by now!!

              I am using the next notch in on my belts, which is pretty cool.<br />
              <br />
              I am quite amazed as to how much your weight fluctuates during the course of a day!

                the beltometer is the best judge I reckon. Pre xmas I was slipping to second hole, but now well back into first hole!! Is the belt I had when a fat bastard too, so wraps around past my hip!! My reminder.

                  good workout yesterday, some very sore muscles at the end, although feel surprisingly good today. Back from a 35 minute run, finished with a 100m sprint in the scorching sun, again, feeling very good! <br />
                  <br />
                  Get some cravings for some of the foods and drinks I have cut out or reduced, given in a couple of times, but just as a treat...

                    treat is good, and myabe make a point of portion control when you treat. Instead of a whole packet of Tim Tams (mmmm, Tim Tams), have half the packet... Or in my case, think about half the packet before you knock off the whole thing...

                      still having some internal issues now and then, but otherwise and feeling alot better for the change of diet and increase in exercise.

                        have a cup of alpine tea each night, that will help!

                          cos it is the end of the month, I weighed in this morning, 97.0kg, so 6kg in 31 days, pretty happy with that! <br />
                          <br />
                          Another good workout today, with some different exercises, day off tomorrow.

                              yeah mate, feel pretty good, as I said even when I am running, I feel great, no where near as knackered as I expected, I assume the better diet is giving me greater energy levels.<br />
                              <br />
                              Not sure where the 6kg has gone from though :think:...2 more kg to my initial target, will re-assess once there.

                                        As a fellow garage weights enthusiast a word of warning. Don't be stupid like me and think "right I benched/curled/cleaned or whatever yesterday" and try and beat it the next day. Very tempting if the weights are just sitting there. You'll only overtrain and get weaker !

                                          with the amount of weight I have (~100kg) I dont think there is much chance of that, more variety of exercises, although you cant beat the core ones (as Bart mentioned on another thread) like Squats, bench etc.<br />
                                          <br />
                                          Pretty happy with the way things are ticking over, just wondering where the 6kg has gone from :think: just need to get past the 6kg hurdle, been hovering around it for about a week now
