Fighting Phat

I need to lose weight and this blog is about my fight against fat. I was 145 kgs (319lbs) at the start of my quest. My goal is to lose 45 kgs (99lbs) of fat. I will be posting my experiences, exercise charts, nutrition plans, and weight on a regular basis to track my progress towards my goal weight of 100 kgs (222lbs). I hope that there are some people out there that might want to join me, post comments, or who may find my blog helpful for any weight loss they may wish to achieve.

Ongoing Pain!

Woke up this morning feeling incredibly sore and had a great deal of difficulty bending my legs and supporting myself. Walking is a bit of a problem due to muscle soreness. It doesn't feel like any lasting damage has been done, so I should be back into it tomorrow. I cetainly hope no damage has been done as that would set me back. Not being able to train for a couple of weeks while recovering from injury is exactly what I don't need right now while trying to build up my fitness level in conjunction with eating normally. I will take it easy today and get out for a walk or bike ride this afternoon to get the blood flowing through the legs and loosen things up a bit.

The personal trainer called me this morning to see how I was getting on. I told her I was a bit sore, but that I expect to be okay. We arranged my third session for tomorrow morning at 9:30. I am looking forward to it, hopeful that the pain will have gone by then. She suggested that I get to the gym a bit earlier so that I can do a good warm up before we start. I may try to work some stretching into the warm up before we start, but will make sure that I follow her instructions.

Mostly I am looking forward to hearing how much continuing with her is going to cost me. She has asked that I record the meals I have for the last two days and bring that to her which I will do and we'll see what comes of that. It may be that I will get some nutritional advice. I am working on developing my exercise plan and workout regime in case I do not continue working with her after tomorrow. I think this is the most likely outcome as the cost is likely to prevent me continuing, however I need some final answers so that I can start in earnest. Also having located the scales I find out where I am at, and if I am making any progress.

Have been feeling ravenous today. I will stick to the diet, and slightly increase the quantity of food so that I am not tempted to eat fast food, or have some chocolate or some such thing that I am trying to avoid. Fortunately I have plenty to do today so I should be able to avoid breaking the rules already! I'll let you know how I go...
