Weight 2011 - week 52 - End of the story

Well, that's it then. Weight 2011 is finished..

Last week was a bit hard with christmas. Discovered that christmas candy still is hard. Too little excercise and a bit too much food and candy mean 79,4 this week. 0,6 up from last week. Not good, but no crisis.

Some summary of the year:
Started at 129,6 kg
Ended at 79,4
Total loss 50,2 kg

Waist started at 137 cm, now at 94 cm. Loss of 41 cm in waist..

Pant size jeans from a tight 44 to a comfortable 33.

Can now walk and run and do what i want. Before always tired.

Sleep a lot better.

People seem to be more open and listen better to my opinion. Before people seemed to assume i was lazy....

All in all i am very happy to change. will try and not fal back into old habbits.

What now for 2012? Well, the big challenge now starts with stabilising and not going up. Think it will become "stable weight 2012".

Will report again next week//Geert

Jennifer in her schools christmas show.

Last wednesday, Jennifer had a Christmas show as part of the last day of school for this semester. She is part of the choir. To our surprise and amazement she did a lot of singing during the show. Very proud I can tell you.

Weight 2011 - week 51

The year is almost gone. Next week is the end of weight 2011. Wonder what the total will be.

Eating real food totally now. Skipping carbs though, bo potatoes, pasta, bread or rice. No sugar also. Actually not that hard with little planning.

Weight now is a bit different day to day. Still going down, but slower now, despite eating very well.

Training has been a bit slow. Hurt my feet a few days ago and am taking it a bit slow. Better in the coming week.

Result then well, ended up on 78,8 this week, but have lso seen 78,1 during the week.. 78,8 means 50,8 kg total loss.

And for the people that haven't met me for a while, a picture. so that you not like my mother walk past me without recognizing me ;))



What will come after weight 2011 ???

Have a wonderfull christmas//Geert

Morning, a new saturday and a new result.

Started eating one real meal a day this week. Nice to be on real food again.

Weight went down quite well. 78,5 yesterday morning. Then yesterday i was tempted to eat christmas lunch. No carbs though, still, it might have been a bit much as the scale said more this morning.

Result, 79,6 kg. That,s 0,2 down from last week. Total 50 kg

Will report again next week//Geert

Weight 2011 - week 49

Morning

New week, new chanses.

Had an interesting, but hard week. Seem to be freezing more and more hungry. Must be all the christmas food you see now...

Anyhow, only managed to train on wednesday due to planning conflicts.

Weight was strange this week. Actually went up beginning of the week after last weeks good result. Maybe because i caught a cold ?

Result was then a loss of 0,6 kg. Still good... Brings me to 79,8 this morning. Total 49,8 kg lost.

That means i can start eating real food again. Only 1 portion per day for the first week. Will keep low on carbs though, so no bread, potatoes or pasta..

New report next week //Geert

Weight 2011 - week 47 - 82,5 kg

And it's saturday again. A week has gone by again...

Had a work conference which only had me training 2 times this week. Food is boring but ok, still on replacement food. Hopefully only 2 weeks left, maybe 3...

Anyway, the scale said 82,5 this morning. Thats 0,9 from last eeek. To be expected after last weeks loss. 47,1 total from 1st of jan.

Measurements are getting ok aswell. 96 cm stomach now which is close to the 94 cm recommendation. Soon in the green there.

Only thing is that i am getting a bit wrinkly around my middle. Hopefully will go away with some continued training.

New report in a week//Geert

Tried to bake worstenbroodjes

Today, had to stay home with Elin who was sick and got bored. Found a recipe for worstenbroodjes. A dutch speciality. Sausage roll is the closest i can explain it to.




Anyway, spent the afternoondoing these. Unfortunately they came out the oven a bit hard (too much flour, too little yeast?), but i'm quite chuffed anyway.

Of course, the ni e thing is that i am not allowed to eat them....

Weight 2011 - week 46 - 83,4 kg

And a new saturday morning. Winter is still not here and we have cold, rainy grey weather. Sun is coming through now, so today will be a nice day ?

Had a good week. Morning training at 7 works well. 3 times this week.

The result then: an amazing 2,3 kg gets me to 83,4. Total 46,2 kg now. Hopefully 2 to 3 weeks left to real food... (christmas is saved ?)

Will report again next week. Have a good one !

A little star in the livingroom

Yesterday evening after dinner, Elin decided to perform for us..

Weight 2011 - week 45 - 85,7 kg

And it's saturday again. Amazing how time flies lately.

Seems to be a foggy day today in svärtinge. Planning to go shop some new jeans today. My old ones (36 still) now hang from my belt.... Amazing as i only got into them not that long ago.

Tried a size 44 jeans this week to compare... Way too big! And then to think i had almost grown out of those...

A good training week, 3 mornings. Also good on food (still on lowcal diet). Hope i can get to 80 kg and finish that the next 4 weeks. Getting a bit boring now.

Started to read a bit on low carb diets (lchf and gi). Interesting and think i might try avoiding sugar, bread, potatoes etc a bit more in the future. Can recommend the book matrevolutionen that explains a lot.

Anyway, the result for this week is 85,9 kg. 1,5 kg since last saturday and a total of 43,9 kg now.

Another nice thing is now that i measure less than a meter over my stomach. Started at 137 cm. Thats 38 cm in loss...

Will report again next week//Geert

Anyway, no running today as jenny works until 14.30. Slow weekend as it looks.

The scale was abit slow this morning. 87,2 this week. That's 1,2 from last week. Ok, but not great. Total 42,4 kg total now. Hopefully back to normal food in 4 to 5 weeks...

Ok, new results in a week//Geert

Weight 2011 - Week 42

Another saturday. Autumn is really here now. Leaves are falling and we have had the first nightfrost. Planning to change to wintertyres already as snow could be coming any week now.

So, another week of very low calorie diet has gone by. Actually quite ok this week. I'm getting really tired of only eating soups and shakes. Really longing for something to chew on.

Coming week wednesday i'll move over to a low calorie diet. 800 kcal per day instead of 600. Then i can eat bars and lcd meals. Finally something to chew.

Trainingwise i managed better this week. 2 times at the gym and ran last saturday. Will be the same this coming week.

Result for this week is not as good as i hoped. Think my body hit a flat. Happened before that i get to a level where my weight is stuck a while. Anthow, the scale said 90,3 this morning. Total loss is then 39,3 kg total, only 1 kg this week. 10,3 to go...

Wednesday group follow up at itrim. Curious to see how the others are doing.

Weight 2011 - week 41

Well, second week of itrim done. Has been very challenging with a customer visit in the Netherlands. Let's just say i am not the most social person in the world at the moment.

foodwise i have kept to the diet. Soups and shakes all the way. Have bought some new tastes, and they are actually really nice. Especially the coffee ahake!

Training has been a problem due to travel and time. Pnly enough steps on friday, no pulstraining. Managed to run this morning though.

Results then. According to my acale i weighed 91,3 this morning. That's 2,6 from last week and total of 38,3. Only 11 3 to go to 80 kg..

Will continue this way for a bit more than a week. Then up to 9 weeks of bars and low calori meals.

Will report again in a week//Geert

Itrim week 2, day 9

Another quick update to write some experience off me.

Came back from my customer visit in holland last night. Actually went better than i expected.

Took with me 12 portions of food for 3 days. With a bit of luck and effort i managed to prepare them about on time. Once even on an airplane...

Trainingwise not that good. Due to hours and hotel stay haven't managed ny steps and no training so far. With a funeral today the first chance to do something is tomorrow or saturday. Next week will be better with morning training.

Met leo and rina at the hotel monday night. Really nice to sit and chat. Their food looked lovely..... ; (. Ah well, only 11 weeks to go.

Scale said 92,2 this morning, so that is quite amazing. Probably a good result for the week again.

Will report on saturday//Geert

Itrim week 1, day 5

Well, another quick update. I know i write a bit often now, but it helps in motivation.

4 days done of the first 21. Really longing for solid food now, but not hungry. I feel low on energy constantly though. Only 17 days left before i can eat bars and itrim meals.

Food i can eat is ok. Choclate shake is the worst and i have to start forcing it in now. Porridge with apple and cinamon is ok. Tomato soup is actually quite good.

A big challenge is coming tomorrow. Will travel to holland for 3 days for a customer visit. Will take with me shakes and soup but will have to manage both preparing them and keeping to the diet. Will be nice when it's over..

Scale said 93,1 this morning. That's only 1,2 over my lowest weight in 2006. Soon i'll have to go back 10 years to find my old weight.

Wonder how this will continue. 3,5 kg in week 40 and already 0,8 for week 41. Might have to stop early at this speed.

New info to follow, probably soon

Have a nice day//Geert

Weight 2011 - Week 40

Well, the first few days with my new start using itrim have gone.

Foodwise this has been good. Eating a very low calory diet for 3 weeks now. This means only soup and diet shakes 4 times per day. Only 600 kcal which is about 25% of what a man needs.

So far so good though, even with a conference at work it went ok. Not hungry, but a bit bloated in my stomach and a bit low on energy.

Trainingwise i managed 2 gym passes in the morning before work. On the conference we did pilates, running and football. During the running i had a proper dip, no energy and had to stop. Was feeling quite ill after that for a few hours. Guess i hace to take it a bit carefull with trainung while low on calories.

The result then for this week. Well, it seems to work as the scale said 93,9 this morning. That is 3,5 kg from last saturday!

Total loss 35,7 kg in total. With new goal of around 80 (83 with clothes on) 13,9 kg left

Will report result again in a week, maybe some update under the week.

Conference tomorrow and friday. Next report saturday.
