My First Weigh In!

So I decided to get a starting point… I say starting point cos I’ve been working out 6 times a week for the past 2-3 weeks and didn’t wanna be discouraged if I hadn’t lost any weight. I obviously don’t know my body fat percentage so no shocks there.

I didn’t have time to post my smoothie this morning, but it was the same as yesterday’s without the protein powder and peanut butter.

My weight today- Sun 12th March BF%- 33.1 Weight- 71kg/ 11st 1lb

So my body fat percentage is borderline average/obese which is only going to improve. I thought it would be worse, so I’m not too annoyed about that.

I last weighed myself early February, and I was around 11st 6, so I’ve lost around 5lbs! This was I nice surprise when I got home and converted kg into stone because I’m an old woman who can’t get past the metric system :p

So my lunch is this very inspiring and complicated red pepper hummus/humous/homous and carrot batons… probably not the healthiest of lunches, but I had a craving and my weigh in wasn’t too bad so fuckit.

There are no classes at the gym on Sunday and it’s only open from 10-2 so I use that as my rest/ cheat meal day. I’m already looking forward to my cheesy pasta meal tonight and probably more than a bottle of rosé :D

Trolling crank baits is an easy way to cover a lot of water with minimal effort on your part. Summer in Texas can be excruciating. Both for humans and fish alike. Being able to find structure, deeper water or moving water is key. Fish will want shade as well as cooler water. Trolling is very effective because you can cover a lot of water, you're moving (breeze) and you're not making cast after cast. Maybe you don't have a boat or even a kayak for that matter. No problem. Try to find docks or fallen trees you can cast to from shore. The fish use these areas for shade as well as an ambush point for prey. Moving water is also key. Weather it's a small stream or river dumping into a larger body of water. Fish will hold on the edges of the current waiting for prey to pass by. Moving water will also introduce more oxygen. So in summary. 1. Find deeper water 2. Find structure or moving water 3. Get a diving bait such as a crankbait that's suitable for the depth you will be fishing. This is one of my go to summer techniques for summer fishing in Texas and it produces fish. Good luck and tight lines
