The scales are LYING!!!

Fucking bastard scales. Apparently I put on 1kg this week. Which is bullshit. Admittedly, yes, I did do a PMS dietary disaster (chips, magnum ego, chocolate mousse), and a big protein laden dinner last night, but I still did some really good work outs. And that chocolate mousse was so worth every single one of its 1900kj. And the reason I think the scales are lying...

Jeans Buttons: 5/5
Muffin top factor: Camouflagable.

I have pics, but I'm not going to post them. For a start it looks like I have camel toe, and the other is that they do actually show the muffin top, and what it looks like covered. In a shapeless cami.

So, all I can do is weigh myself again tomorrow and hope that the scales are a touch more honest this time.

2 week update

The past two weeks have been a little odd for me. I had a few dates, so didn't get to go to the gym. Then there was the heat wave, in which I flat refused to go to the gym. So a whole week off the gym. And in that time I wasn't strictly dieting. I wasn't out of control, but I was ok with having chicken burgers with bacon.

And you know what, I LOVED it.

But I missed the wiegh in last week.

This week has been a bit more work, but only 3 gym sessions. And a weigh in... very close to my last recorded. So I'm actually ok with it.

This week I'm 83.9kg. I don't think I'll be under 80 kg by the end of Feb.

Jeans Buttons: 5/5
Muffin top factor: Out there.

Been a while...

Sorry about that... but I have been distracted and not as focussed as I could be.

Basically I just wanted to give people an idea of where I've come from weight wise.

This was me at my 30 birthday - so four years ago:
I figure that I likely weighed well over 130kgs at this point and likely got bigger in the follow year before I began to actively look at how I was living my life and what I was doing to my body.

This is me now - I took it on Thursday and it is also posted over at my blog:
I would like to have had a picture in a similar pose the one above but this is the best I can find at the moment. Mind you, there is no way that the woman in that top photo would have even considered wearing the outfit that the woman in the bottom photo has on.

Currently I weigh somewhere in the vicinity of 115kgs but my plan is to be below the 100 mark by year's end. If my Personal Trainer has her way, I'll get to that mark before August. But the universe has been conspiring against my workouts lately - the heatwave here in Adelaide was just too much. But we've a cool change in the wind so next week is back to it!

Later.

Today's weigh in was a little strange.

I normally weigh myself pre-exercise in the morning. But today I weighed myself at the end of my cardio set. Out of curiosity, I have previously learnt that I will put on weight during exercise (all the H20 I drink). First the scales told me 83.0 (woot) then in the space of 3 seconds, they went to 83.5. Humm.

So I'm confused. Do I put down as 83.0, or 83.5. Or do I go for middle ground?
