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.

Pretty Good Weekend

The weekend is drawing to a close and I have had a pretty good one. Yesterday was fairly slow, but I did make it to the gym for the standard cardio workout. I am still hopeful that the new cardio training regime will be sent to me soon and I can make a start on that. I found the cardio routine quite hard for some reason yesterday, however I did get through it, and I know that is the most important thing. My shins were sore, as were my feet, but I think it was mostly psychological as for some reason I just didn't seem as into the workout as I usually am. Maybe I need new music on my MP3 player!

Today was good, my partner and I tried a pilates class today, my first one. It was unusual, not that much of a sweaty workout but hard nonetheless. I think that it will take me a few goes at it before I get the hang of it, and I found some of the position quite hard because I am still a bit too large for some of them. Bits of me still get in the way, but I can't even begin to imagine what it would be like to have done this class at my original weight.

I think that I may try and work a few more classes into my routine as they serve a good purpose keeping things new, stopping the boredom and daily grind from setting in too soon and affecting your enthusiasm. I felt good after the class, and while I knew it wasn't the hardest workout I have ever done, I think that I will find bits of me that I don't usually work on have been hit this morning and will probable be sore tomorow! I have a good week ahead of me, I'm feeling good and looking forward to spending some good time at the gym and making some good progress.

I think I need to change something up too. Adding a class or something of the like is a good idea.

Variety is the spice of life as they say, and keeping things new and interesting helps avoid the temptation to take a break from gym workouts, I find anyway. Often a change reminds you how good what you were doing before was, and I think the Pilates class has helped me in this way. Cheers for the comment TC.
