Another week, another update…

I don’t know why, but there always comes a point where commitment drops away and you start to slip back into old habits… that’s pretty much what’s happening to me now. My weight this week has actually gone up slightly and I’m already finding myself questioning whether I have the resolve to continue this.

It’s certainly not ideal, at least last time I lost 20kg before I struck this point, today though I’ve got some serious issues to work through if I’m going to tough it out and continue dropping weight (and really, it’s something that I have to do, so I’d better sort it out now!).

This isn’t meant to be a whinge or anything, losing weight throws up a lot of challenges and I plan to work through them… one thing I need to do is start posting more to this blog again - at least I have a new topic to look into… how to keep going when quitting seems so much easier! (I’m just not sure how to start it yet, lol).

Weekly Update: March 7th

I know, I know… I’m running a little late with the update and my number of posts have dropped off — I guess it’s a combination of not losing the weight as quickly as I have set for myself and my increase work load with the number of projects I’ve taken on lately :)

As I mentioned in my highlights post, I’ve taken on the role of u5’s soccer coach, lol, that’s going to be a sight to see I can assure you… I still don’t really know how I’m going to handle this yet, only a couple of days out until our first training session though so I’ll have to sort something out by Tuesday.

What’s my weight at this week? it’s continued to go down slightly, but still pretty slow going and I’ve still eaten too much junk. Currently at 128.2kg, so a loss of 0.3kg for the week.

One of the other projects I’ve started and is slowly starting to build up a bit of steam is another blog that focuses on Keyword Analysis and Search Engine Marketing for Bloggers and Niche Marketers… keyword analysis is something that I’ve done for quite some time (not my main work focus, but definitely a part of it), so starting an outlet for it with this blog will be a nice distraction, especially since so much of the information out there hasn’t really changed since I first started mucking around with this in 2002, yet the Internet has come so far since then. There’s not much on the new blog just yet, but it’ll get there over the next few weeks.

February Highlights

Now that we’re into a new month, I thought it would be a good idea to go back and highlight the main posts to lose40kg.com from the last month. If you’ve just stumbled upon my blog, then these posts are a great place to start.

To start things off, I set up a lose40kg page on Squidoo, here’s my Squidoo update post that tells you all about it.

Here’s a brief introduction to social networks and how they can help you lose weight… we haven’r really used Twitter all that effectively on here yet, but I still think it is a great tool to use.

5 Weight Loss Tips for counting Calories (or should you even bother?) give some advice on how to use common sense when you change your eating habits to a more healthy lifestyle.

…and on a similar theme, Why cutting bread from your diet can get you off to a good start talks about how this one simple change can really kick start your weight loss if you’re a big bread eater.

 5 Sites that will Help You Stay Motivated was our most popular post of the month, all 5 sites mentioned offer some really great help with motivation - make sure you check them all out.

and finally, 5 Tips on How to Avoid Weight Loss Plateau deals with bypassing that annoying stage of not losing weight despite keeping up with your best efforts… what is it, and how you can avoid it.

March should be a great month, I’ve just been roped into being one of the coaches for my sons u5’s soccer team, so that should provide some interesting challenges over the next few months… nothing like a group of hyperactive 4 year olds to keep you on your toes… I’ll probably get just as much exercise as them from our weekly training sessions, apparently games where they have to chase the coach around are good attention grabbers… should also prove to be quite funny for all the onlookers I would imagine!
