I see this post soo often. When I see it I start calculating.. Hmm how much can I lose in the time I have left until my holiday? Then I remember that I'm not completely focussed on the scale.. Anywho.. Now that I've finally completed my first actuarial exam, I'm ready to start properly putting the work in again. Apart from this week, I've been maintaining my 2-3x a week crossfit, but I really want to do more now. Considering starting my day a little earlier, but have to see how it goes. Wish me luck xx http://bit.ly/2G5dGVv

Finished my break. Back on the fitness thing 💪🏾 http://bit.ly/2CQQv0P

I am struggling. Struggling A LOT. I try to jump back on the wagon, then I just don't, or I go one day, and don't go back. Before I know it it's been weeks and I'm regretting not sticking to it. I feel like I could really use a motivator, someone who will make sure im doing what I need to be doing. Everyone says this person needs to be myself, well I keep letting myself down tbh. I'd probably have better luck with someone I can't shut up as easily. If you have any tips, please let me know. Im finding it so hard 😭😭 https://ift.tt/2QcDHtS

Today marks my first day starting slimming World. I've done it a little bit in the past, and the accountability worked for me. At my first session but I'm going to have to miss part of it. The consultant here lost just under 4st in 6 months. If I could lose even 2st by my birthday (4 months) I'll be really happy. #beginner #slimmingworld #slimmingworldjourney #bigchangesarecoming https://ift.tt/2KqMlOu

So I’m now 11 days into my water fast (266+ hours). Some days are definitely easier than others, but I’m glad I haven’t quit. I’m waiting for mind to reset my relationship with food if that makes sense. I dont think I’m there yet and I partially think I’ll never get there. I’m not sure how much longer I will do this, but these pictures have actually upset me. I didn’t realise I had let myself get to this. The before (left) were taken somewhere in November/December 2017. The right were taken today. I’m trying to compare them but they both look horrible. I need to think about a realistic goal and head towards that. I have no idea what my weight was in my before, but I weighed 101kg just before starting the fast. I am now at 90kg (supposedly).

This is a more extended list of reasons I’m also going the water fast

[mypassionmypotential]

I’ve been on my fitness journey for such a long time, but I’m not seeing any of the perks. I have been in the gym everyday since Tuesday, including 3 couch25k sessions (just finished week 3), 3 LISS sessions and 6 classes. I decided on Wednesday, on a whim, to start a water fast. As of 12.30pm on Wednesday I haven’t consumed any food. Each day has felt a bit different, but I’m waiting for my energy to kick in. I’m not doing the fast for just weight loss, although it was my initial reasoning. I am also doing it for mental clarity, spiritual growth and and to prove to myself I can discipline myself. I’ve noticed over the last few days how much I think about food, and it’s surprisingly more than I thought (not sure if that’s because I’m not eating) I hope to keep posting and post my progress. I’m not sure hole long I’ll do it, my ultimate goal is 40days, but I have mini goals that I will also be happy with. I was at 101kg on Tuesday (that’s to hotel food and lack of exercise on water weekend). This morning I weighed in at 95.5kg. Unsure how much of that is water weight..I don’t have much water weight to lose tbh (less than 40kg) #fitnessjourney #waterfasting #waterfast #waterfastforweightloss #waterfastforhealing #waterfastforme #3daysdown #fattofitjourney #fattofab #gymlife — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/2GFHZ4d

Saturday and Sunday weren’t great on the food front, but they weren’t bad on the step front. Got into the gym twice today, once for a bit of HIIT and another for body step. Day 19, 20 and 21 I believe

[mypassionmypotential]

Days 16, 17 and 18 Didn’t hit the gym Wednesday or Thursday. Wednesday I got my steps in through walking, and then Thursday I got without effort. Today I did 2 classes at the gym as well as a lot of walking here and there. I’ve had not a good choice of food this week, but I don’t regret any of what I had. I stuck to my schedule and made sure to not go over calories. I need to weigh in one of these days

[mypassionmypotential]

It has just dawned on me, I started my challenge on the 9th. Targets included. I was getting my steps/hitting the gym. Only 2 days in that time I wasn’t able to hit my step goal v go to the gym and I have good reason for them: Day3 had no time at all, had my hair done by a friend, went to work with half done hair then went back to finish my hair. Day12 I went out for a friend’s birthday and so was out the whole day. Had no time to get my steps in Today is really day 16!

[mypassionmypotential]

I may not have gone to the gym yesterday, but I smashed my step goal without effort so I’ll take that win proudly.

Today’s eating wasn’t fantastic, but I was able to stick to my timings. I had a sausage roll from Greggs, a chicken bake from Greggs then ended the day with a chicken panini. A high carb day

Restarting my weight-loss journey. With graduation around the corner and less time in the real world, it’s pretty much now or never. I got the steps I wanted, and I also attended a Body step class - that was so hard, but I wanna improve in it. Targets: 
1)Walk at least 12k steps a day. If near day end or predict less walking, walk 60-90 minutes to up daily steps 2)Do some form of exercise 3 days per week. I have a plan set by the PT I had, but I’m not sure if I can be bothered tbh. Not when there are classes which burn more calories. 3)Make conscious choices about food. If I fall off, it needs to be a choice and not an accident. These Targets need to stand for 100 days. I hope to post something everyday to evident my journey.

This is me after today's session in the gym. Had a pretty good body pump class apart from the fact that my fingers kept locking during power presses 😩😩 Now I'm back in my spot on campus getting my essay on

[mypassionmypotential]

Nice to see I'm going in the right direction, need to up my water and down my fat mass

[mypassionmypotential]

Starting again from day 1

What I haven’t said is that I dropped out of the running for Cambridge Weight Plan. I wasn’t really feeling the plan, and my consultant wasn’t as influential as I thought. My weight pretty much spiked back up, but now with less that 100 days to graduation, I need to take this more seriously. I work a lot so don’t really have time to plan my meals. I’m planning to join the keto movement and watch the pounds fall off. Hopefully I’ll be able to manage it and work and study..it’s all about the planning. Gym wise, I wanna be in there at least 4 days a week, doing a minimum of 30 mins and burning a minimum of 350 calories.

You only need one but here’s 100 more!

Long time no post

I've weighed in twice since my last post 5/8/16: -1lb 13/8/16: -5lb I'm not too sure what that minus 1 was about I've also taken a new approach to the diet. It's basically against the rules, and potentially punishing myself (if I'm going through getting to ketosis), but it seems to not be having such a negative effect. What I am doing is being 100% SS Monday-Friday, then the weekend I choose, SS or normal food. If I'm eating regularly I have to be careful of how much I'm eating as I'll still need to lose weight by the end of the week. Let's see how the next week goes
