So this week i've got lots of stuff to share, a couple of sample dinners i've had this week... I don't really have a recipe I can share with you for any of this but it's pretty straight forward in terms of what's on the plates, the sauces are loosely based on the links from last weeks blog.
So I have had a few people ask me recently what I eat and how much and when i tell them they simply don't believe me, so I decided to provide some proof, enjoy!
Baby sweetcorn, broccoli, carrot and steak with a homemade tomato and piquante pepper sauce.
Another dinner example. Baby corn, asparagus tips, broccoli, cauliflower and chicken breast with home made almond butter and bramley apple satay style sauce.
On to my new measurements... now i wont go into major details here because to be honest my initial blog entry was quite detailed, but i'll cover the important ones.... i'm quite interested to see if there's a noticeable difference even though my weight has dropped a fair bit.
Day 1 stats
Height: 6.2 ft
Wt: 232.6lb (16.6 stone)Waist: 42inch
Hip: 44inch
Waist to hip ratio of 0.95
Body fat %: 26.14
BMI: 29.86
Stats today
Height: 6.2 ft
Wt: 213.2 (15.2 stone)Waist: 40inch
Hip: 41inch
Waist to hip ratio of 0.98
Body fat %: 25.37
BMI: 27.37
So what do I take from this? First of all i'm no-where near my end target in terms of bodyfat percentage but on the plus side it is now down to a more healthier level, same with my BMI, i've lost a lot of weight thus far and I am proud of that but I need to put in more of an effort and certainly more effort into the cardio aspects of my fitness program. I had already decided to start following the NHS 5k in 9 weeks program, but this has given me significantly more drive to make sure I do it now, I also hope to raise money for Save our Hedgehogs in the new year to help build a new hedgehog facility so keep your ears peeled.
All in all i'm 'ok' with my updated stats, i'm not where I need to be / was expecting to be but then I dont know if my expectations were realistic. i'm meeting my goals in terms of loosing weight but not in terms of slimming down... saying that I have managed to loose 3 inches off my hips which isnt all bad. knuckling down now, it's not that long till xmas now!
Seems i've already given you my weigh in stats for this week, i'm down to 213.2lb's which is another drop from last weeks 215.8. Starting to see more 'healthier drops in weight now rather than the big chunk of weight loss that i saw early on... perhaps my body needs to adjust properly still.... More to follow next week!
