Weekly Wrap-Up – Week 5

This week I witnessed one historical event. On Saturday morning my weight had finally fallen below the 70 kg mark and I actually weighed something that starts with 6 – 69.6 kg. That was a major accomplishment for me. My weight didn’t quite stay there but one day it will, I’m sure of that. The end weight for week number 5 is 70.0 kg. A nice round number to start a new week with.

Weight loss progress

Progress

So far, I’ve lost a total of 6.6 kg – or 14.55 pounds. My weight loss has been faster than recommended, but in the end, it’s not up to me to decide where my fat decides to go and when, is it? Needless to say, I’m happy with the progress I’ve made. When I look in the mirror, I genuinely think I can see a difference. And that’s what I can see in the weight loss simulator as well:

This definitely gives me motivation to continue!

Weekly Wrap-Up – And A Really Short One

Weekly Wrap-Up – Exercise, Exercise, Exercise!

It’s week number two and my weight has been going up and down, up and down. Fortunately a bit more down than up – as you can see in the above picture. It’s my weight log from Calorie Count – a service I found through Chronicles of the Battle of Bulge. The blue line is my actual weight; the green one my weight loss trend.

This week has been challenging in many ways and as a result my mood has been on the same roller coaster as my weight. I’ve had some rough days but towards the end of the week things in my personal life started to look more promising. But before jumping optimistically into the hopefully more steady going roller coaster of next week, I’m going to write down a thought or two.
