Weight 2011- Week 12
Good morning,
Another week has flown by and now it is time to hit the scales again. This week has been quite good foodwise (one customer visit and a thai lunch though :/ ) which means the result should be ok. Last weekend, after weighing in my weight went up a little, so it was in the beginning of the week hard as i didn't think it would be a good result.
Anyway. it turned out ok with -1,4 kg. That means that the total loss now is up to - 22,1 kg.
Slowly but surely the halfway point is coming into sight. Also, and more important, I'm getting closer to a 2 digit weight.. That is a big step and will probably reach that in lite more than a month from now. My mother is visiting after easter, so I'm hoping i'll reach it by then. Will probably end up a little over still then.
Started working out this week. To my amazement i discovered muscles in places i didn't expect them, as it hurt in a lot of places.. But that's a good sign, right ? Will continue that for the coming weeks. After the 100 kg mark, I'll slowly start running again. Goal for this year is to be able to do 100 pushups, 200 situps and run 10 km... Tough from where I am now, but a goal is a good thing.
well, that's it for this week. Will report back next week with hopefully a good result.

Traffic rules - left turn att a crossroad
Hi all
Reading theory to try and get my motorbike license this year. Just noticed something interesting.
Here in sweden at a crossroads with stopsigns, the traffic that arrives first, drives first! That explains why i always thought these situations were strange here. In holland, the traffic that turns to the right goes first (shortest corner) Weird that there is such a difference in such an important rule... Amazing..
Wonder if i'll notice more differences//Geert

Weight 2011 - week 8
It's saturday morning again. Time for me to check my weight again.
Still on schedule with food and my walks. Hoping that the snow will disappear so i can try and start moving a bit more. On the other hand, might be good to do that slowly.
Anyway, the score for this week: 1,6 kg to a total of 16,4. A good result. Now there are 38,6 left to go. Very happy with that.
Measured centimeters also. From the start i seem to have lost about 9 cm in diameter overall (breast, stomach, hips). Can tell you that you notice that with clothes. What almost didn't fit 2 months ago is now getting too big. Means that i soon will start going down in sizes. : )
So, up to hopefully another good week and maybe 18 kg total ?
Have a good weekend//Geert

Weight 2011 - week 7
Quickly the results for this week. Was a strange week, lost 1,7 kgs to tuesday. On wednesday morning all of that was gone and i was back at 0. Why ? I don't know, maybe because i caught a cold ??
Anyhow, results for this week: 1,1 kg and a total of 14,8. Slowest week this far... 40,2 kg to go.
Up to week 8 and over 15 kg!

Weight 2011 - week 6
Good saturday morning all!
Weight 2011 has gone really well this week. No problems keeping away from the fridge. 3 lunchwalks when i was working from the office. Besides that we got snow again and that means extra training by cleaning the driveway.
After the last two weeks that i thought were stable, my body decided to behave different. Suddenly i lost weight quicker this week. Seems it goes down a bit, slows down a couple of days and then goes quicker again. Like there are some plateaus it has to go through.
Diet wise i still do the same. Small breakfast in the morning, some Knackebröd with cheese, little bowl of yoghurt. Mealbar for lunch. In the evening a normal cooked meal, watch the sauce and portions though. Nothing in between ( sometimes a fruit). I normally get somewhere around 1200 kcal on that. That's quite low for a man, but i seem not to get hungry on that and have no energy problems.
Anyway, result for this week is an amazing 2,4 kg ! That means my total is now 13,7 and there is 41,3 left. I passed a milestone this week and made it over 10% weight loss. Next milestone is 25% of my total weight to go down, which should be easy next week. (13,8 so only 100 grams :) )
Hope this continues. Talk to you next week.

Weight 2011 - Week 4
Hi,
Another week has gone by. Time to weigh in again.
Has been a hard week. With a lot of things happening in the family it has sometimes been hard to keep up motivation. Found myself at home with Elin a couple of days, and found myself in front of cupboards and the fridge a couple of times.. Fortunately, managed to not open them.... Elin has been ill the last nights, and that means going up when she calls. Hard to go past the kitchen on the way back then....
Anyhow.. I'm still on track. The results are slowing down a bit as I suspect my body is getting used to the lower intake.
Results for this week: -1,3 kg which means a total of 10 kg ! (yahoo !). 45 kg to go to target.
When I consider that the original plan was to go down 1 kg a week, it actually is going extermely well. That means that after 4 weeks, I'm 6 kg before schedule.. Hope it keeps up going this way.
Funnily enough food and our new menu still is an inspiration. Had a really nice gullasch-soup this week that Jenny made. Yesterday I made a pie myself that also was very nice. It is easier to say no to food and eat smaller portions if the food you do get is good !
Trainingwise not a good week. Only had my lunchwalk due to circumstances once this week. Am actually starting to feel that I want to start walking and then maybe running again. Hope the weather will allow more of that soon and that I somehow get the time to do that.
By the way, thanks for all the nice reactions. Really good motivation !
That's it for this week. Will report again in a week.
All the best//Geert

Weight 2011 - result week2
Another saturday, time to check the scales and see what the result for the second week is.
Foodwise it has been a good week. We continued with the weekly menu which makes it easier to eat less. Had some hard moments though, waking up hungry in the night, the smell of kebab in the office at lunch.. Managed to steer clear of temptations (except one little meatball from the fridge....)
Started walking again. Managed to do 2 45-minute walks this week during lunch. Not much, but a beginning.
So, the result:
2,1 kg this week
6,3 kg total
Quite happy with that. As i think much more than one kg per week is not reasonable on the long run i'd better not start expecting much more, which is tempting now. Too high expectations reduce motivation if not realised!
will report back next saturday.

Weight 2011 -result week 1
This morning a week has gone since weight 2011 started. Time to hit the scales and see the result:
4,2 kg !
So, that means 50,8 to go to the target.
Now i think this for a part is due to my stomach etc emptying which also reduces weight. Next week will probably be quite a bit lower.
Good news (?j is that jenny started complaining about the smell of my breath. Means that i probably started burning fat (gives bad breath). The trick now is not to get in too many calories, but not get hungry.
Coming week is the first working week under weight 2011. Will have to be careful with lunch then. Hopefully i find the time to do some lunch walks.
Will report again in a week.

Weight 2011 - menu week 1
In our family we often have the problem that we don't know what to eat. Often this leads to a trip to the store to buy something or in worst case ready food being brought home. As a part of weight 2011 we are trying something different.
We started using a week menu with recipes and make sure all ingredients are at home. Then it is just a case of doing the recipes. This week has had some nice food:
- Homemade meatballs with brown sauce and potatoes
- potato and artichoke soup with mushrooms and parsley dip. not so nice, but we used the wrong kind or artichoke
- shrimp pasta with dill
- ginger marinated chicken with lime yoghurt
- roast tenderloin with garlic cottage cheese and olive sallad
Funny thing is that due to the recipes and measured portions i seem to eat less and have an easier time not overeating. Funny, trying to lose weight by thinking more about food.
Anyway, we continue next week. Tomorrow is the end of the first week for weight 2011. I had a good week and did only eat my meals, nothing exta (except one "bulle" during "fika"). Have good hopes for my weight tomorrow!
