Too many pick-a-nic baskets ...
-
rookie mistakes (and one that I'd still be making, but I keep forgetting to weight myself). Weigh yourself once a week. AT most. Same time, same place etc. Not daily, not unless you are leaning down for a bodybuilding contest...<br />
<br />
and THEN it can really fark with your brain...! -
I do it mainly because of dinner. My wife puts a fair bit of variety into her cooking, so while the basic rules always hold true (pasta and rice are useless, watch the quantity) sometimes its good to know what effect the day to day is having when new recipes are put on the table.<br />
<br />
Plus it provides good scare tactics towards the official weigh in - keeps me on the straight and narrow. -
Weighing daily doesn't phase me. WHat pissed me off was I only lost 0.3kg this [b]week[/b]. That would have pissed me off whether I knew I was lighter a day either side or not. Until I put it in perspective (a littloe) and accepted that I had lost 0.3kg this week.

Whoops - check in yesterday.<br />

105.2kg Lost 0.8kg this week, 8.3kg overall in 8 weeks.<br />

Really quite pleased with that loss. Had a big weekend as down in Brisbane for a work piss up and made the most of it <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/rugby/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /> .<br />

Fluid or a slight mistake getting the tape in the right place mate <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/rugby/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /><br />

I do my measurements in front of the mirror to make sure I get it consistent and level around the back. -

Weekly check in.<br />
<br />
105.0kg Lost 0.2kg this week, 8.5kg overall in 9 weeks.<br />
<br />
Measurements:<br />
Chest 110cm (+3cm, nil overall - obviosuly working hard on my pecs ???)<br />
Waist 101cm (-0cm, -7 overall)<br />
Hips 100cm (-2cm, -8 overall)<br />
<br />
Bit slow this week. I blame Mrs boo for leading me astray and poruing booze down my throat. Need to refocus. Still a loss of weight though - but need to up the effort. -
Week 10...<br />
<br />
104.6kg Lost 0.4kg this week, 8.9kg overall in 10 weeks.<br />
<br />
Measurements:<br />
Chest 106cm (-4cm, -4 overall)<br />
Waist 100cm (-1cm, -7 overall)<br />
Hips 102cm (+2cm, -8 overall)<br />
<br />
Still trending down - got to be good. Really can't follow what I'm doing with my measurements - I think I lack consistency there... -
belt - looser = good, tighter = bad.<br />
<br />
Tee shirts - tighter on chest while belt is looser = good. Tighter on chest AND belly while belt is also tighter = very bad.<br />
<br />
Those are about the only measures I take, although with my dodgy bicep getting better, I might run a tape over both of them to see what size has changed.... -

Hi there folks ... have not been avoid you all ... well OK I have. Have struggled through the Christmas period, including the build up and all the functions and ill discipline of being off work and have bounced around the 104ish mark.<br />
<br />
I initially avoided checking in here as I had a couple of weekly bumps upwards - and after that I just never made time to check in here. I still weighed pretty regulalry and have kep up the gym (although it got a bit quiet for a week or two and couldn't do much over Christmas ... and missed this morning so I could update you all ... <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/rugby/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /> ).<br />
