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).

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.

Ok, that time of the week again… thankfully this time I have turned things back around and heading in the right direction again, although I’ve still fallen short of my monthly goal of 4kg weight loss.
My current weight is now 128.5kg, so that’s a 2.5kg loss for the month - I’m going to have to pick up the pace more if I want to reach my 12 month goal.
I did manage to do something yesterday that I haven’t done in a long time… I actually swam a few laps of the pool! Iit’s only a 10m pool, lol, but I managed 12 laps (a bit over two laps of an Olympic sized pool) which isn’t really much, but I had a 4yo jumping on me in between each lap, so that’s something I’ll work on more over the next month.
Anyway, time to start focusing on next months goal, my theme for March will be to add in some more exercise to my day - things like swimming and kicking the soccer ball around with my kids will probably form the bulk of it at this stage, but I’ll work up the intensity where I can.

Hmmm…
You know how I said that last week I was surprised I had lost any weight? well I tried every trick I could think of today (except for holding onto the wall for support), and I’ve concluded that they don’t work!The scales ticked over at 128.9kg, I’ve actually put 0.2kg back on 
I’ve got to admit, I have strayed a little too far from the plan and these last two weeks have been pretty ordinary, and a bit demoralising when you think about how far I still have to go… it’s time to get serious and a time to take action - earlier than I planned, but necessary to get things back on track.
I’m upping the exercise a bit - going to try to get into the pool about lunch time each day, swim a few quick laps and get moving more throughout the day. My eldest son also starts Soccer in a few weeks (u5’s), he wants to get out every afternoon and kick the ball around, so I guess I’ll just have to up the intensity of our ‘training sessions’ a little
It’s not a good sign that I probably won’t hit my 4kg goal in my first month, but there is a long way to go - I never meant for this to be a quick fix for weight loss, but hitting a wall this early was certainly not part of the plan!
Let’s see how I go this week, the forecast is for a hot weekend here (mid-30’s Celsius), so that’ll give me plenty of excuses to get in the pool and sweat a bit… should be interesting, lol.

My Weight Loss Update - Feb 15th
Well, it’s Friday again, and time to jump on the scales.
I’ve been a little distracted this week (as you can probably guess since my post rate dropped down), and being distracted probably isn’t a good thing from a weight loss perspective… maintaining my focus and motivation is something I need to work on (so watch out for a post on that this week!).
It was my birthday earlier in the week, the years keep ticking over, but at least 33 sounds like a lucky number (doubles are always lucky aren’t they, lol), so here’s hoping that this will be a fantastic year, on all levels.
Anyway, to the scales - I wasn’t expecting much this week, in fact I was a little concerned that I had lost anything at all, so sucking up my tummy (surely that’s got to help, haha), I was pleasantly surprised at the reading of 128.7kg, a loss of 0.9kg for the week. That’s a loss of 2.3kg so far for the month, with another 1.7kg to go in the remaining two weeks to reach my monthly goal - right on track and I haven’t even broken a sweat yet (literally, lol).
Until next time, I hope you all are doing well and maintaining those weight loss goals.
