Day 32 - Eating - 78.0 kg
Wednesday 19th November 2008
It’s now been one month since I started alternate day fasting. Looking at the trendline in the weight log graph, I estimate I’ve lost about 3kg (about 6.5 pounds). I thought I might be able to lose more than that, but I’m fairly happy with the result. If I can keep it up, in another month, I should be approaching my ideal weight.
My general fitness has improved a lot due to going to the gym, but I still wouldn’t yet call myself fit - a lot more work to do there. At least now I can run for 4km, which I managed to do again today. This time on the treadmill at 9.5 km per hour in just under 30 minutes. A few months ago, I was struggling to jog a few hundred meters.
I havn’t been measuring it, but my waistline has come down - I can tell by my belt. I’ve still got a gut and I can grab a full handfull of flab around my waist. This is really what I want to lose and I will continue with this diet and exercise until I am happy - even if I have to drop a lot more weight than I planned.
Today I ate well - a bowl of pasta for lunch and some left over sandwiches from yet another function at work (there’s almost one every day). I didn’t eat much after the gym, just a small bowl of fruit salad.
I went to pilates this evening, and then burned 500 calories on the treadmill. When I got home, my weight was at 77.6 kg.
