the deets

Alright I've been crunching the numbers and have a plan in place. So below is a table I'll be filling out over the 9 weeks to track my progress but also to break my goal up into smaller (and less daunting) pieces. Obviously the body doesn't always work how we'd like it to so I imagine some weeks I'll beat the goal and others won't quite hit it. That's cool. I'm prepared for that and will keep plodding along. The good news is I am a lot closer to my goal that I originally thought... While I've been feeling quite heavy, turns out a lot of it is muscle and my body fat hasn't gone up much despite the Christmas debauchery so I'm aiming to lose 4kg of fat to reach my goal of 13% body fat.

Date	Goal Weight	Actual	Change	Goal BF%	Actual	Change
26/12/11	-	60kg		-	18.67%
2/01/12	59.5kg			18%
9/01/12	59kg			17.4%
16/01/12	58.5kg			16.8%
23/01/12	58kg			16%
30/01/12	57.5kg			15.3%
6/02/12	57kg			14.5%
13/02/12	56.5kg			14%
20/02/12	56kg			13.5%
27/02/12	55.5kg			13%

Hmm... I lost my table grid but it's getting late so can't be bothered doing that again - will attempt to fix it for next time. My parents are staying with us at the moment and due to New Years happening in a couple of days, I'm not aiming for perfection with my diet until they leave (1st Jan). Until then I'll be good when I can but still enjoy a few treats (namely alcohol, Indian food & homemade apple crumble on New Years Eve - yum!). Come January first however, it's down to business. Audition season is around the corner and I need to be ready for it!


We're going away tomorrow for a couple of days but I'm bringing the computer so I'll attempt to be in touch during that time. As far as my first two days went - got to the gym and back into my weights. Yesterday's food was alright (went slightly over with calories) but was struggling with carb withdrawals and that made me extremely agitated (you'd think I was coming off drugs) and today *was* going well until dinner when I had bread with my roast chicken & vege then Christmas pudding & icecream & a wine cocktail for dessert. Let's just say I was celebrating the fact I only have 4kg to lose rather than 7! Seriously though - the second my parents leave there's no more funny business. Anyways gotta go pack and be up for a gym sesh before heading to Rotorua - bye for now!
