A Month of Standing Still

Hmmmmm

Well we're a month on from my last post and its like I've been standing still no progress on the weight loss for over four weeks but we're back into the swing of things now and I'm at pretty much the same weight I was a month ago. Its not like I haven't been enjoying myself though, we spent a week up in Scotland and have been to a music festival this weekend just gone (Lovebox) and I've had a few drinks, eaten some bad things and generally had a good time.

The root of this falling off the wagon was definately the trip to Scotland and it wasn't as if I hadn't foreseen the problems its happened to me before, if I break my routine for even a few days and eat off program than I have real issues getting back on track, this time its happened again.

So this morning I jumped on the cross trainer and toiled away for 20 minutes and I'll be eating sensibly and not just popping to Boots where the only sandwich I like is the chicken bacon and mayo one, and if I'm having that I might as well have a packet of crisps too :/

The target for the next two weeks is to get down below 280lbs, <280lbs is a milestone as it means that I'll be back under 20st. 20st sounds like a lot doesn't it? Thats because it IS a lot! Bare in mind thought that I 'm now in 44"(down from 46") trousers and I don't wear them under my gut I wear them properly, given my weight I don't think this is too bad and a lot of people say I carry my weight well and find it hard to believe when they find out how much I actually weigh. I'm hoping this means that under a thick layer I'm still harbouring a good amount of muscle which will prove useful when it comes to getting back to weight training :)
