Well, I am down 0.1kgs since yesterday. I am happy with that, because I went slightly off my eating plan. I had dinner at lunch time, and then had some scrambled egg on toast, at dinner time. This means that I had an additional meal during the day and still lost weight!
This afternoon I am going out for dinner to an Italian restaurant, so I am not too hopeful for tomorrows weigh in. I do intend to do a good work out on the Power Plate and go for an extra long walk to compensate though!
Up 0.2kgs since yesterday? This is confusing. Since I have dropped below 90kgs, I have gone down, then up, then down, then up. It is a bit strange. I didn’t get to take a walk last night. I am going to try to do this at least five days a week, maybe even every day, because it does help me to sleep better, and it has a positive effect weight wise.
I am not going to touch the Power Plate today, because they guys at Power Plate recommend a 48hour wait between each muscle. I might start splitting my session, and working upper body one day, and lower body the next. That way, I will be able to use the Power Plate every day.
Whe you buy a Power Plate you can “avail of unlimited training at their National Training Centre”. Today I went for my first training session. I have been using the Power Plate for four weeks now, but I wanted to learn how to get the most out of the Power Plate.
I met with my instructor at 11am and we went into a private studio which had a Power Plate in it. He asked me what I was looking to achieve and a few other questions. It was all very relaxed. We then went through each of the exercises on the Power Plate poster, and he showed me how I can modify the exercises to make them more intense and more effective. I really learned a lot.
I left the studio 90 minutes later and now have a plan for the next few months on how I am going to use the Power Plate. I was exhausted, because I had done more than you would usually do in a workout. It was an extremely worthwhile session.
While the Power Plate isn’t cheap, this level of support is really incredible. You essentially have unlimited access to a Personal Trainer to advise on the user of the Power Plate and access to their studio, for free! Two thumbs up for Power Plate!
Well I lost 0.4kgs since yesterday and I have now lost 7kgs in total in 31 days. I am getting very close to the 14 stone mark which will be another milestone for me.
I ate some cod and fresh vegtables (carrots and green beans) for dinner yesterday. The same dinner I had the previous day. Fortunately I don’t really get bored eating similar meals, but saying that, I am going to have something different for dinner this evening. Don’t know what though!
I am going to the Power Plate studio today to get a workout plan from the professionals. When you buy a power plate you are entitled to free trips to their studio. They will put together a training plan for me. I am looking forward to this, because up until now I hae been using the machine “my” way, rather than in a more structured way.
This morning I am up 0.3kgs, and I don’t really know why? Actually, I had two yoghurts yesterday. I had one in the afternoon, and then had another one after dinner. Maybe that is why. Usually I had a bowl of yoghurt with berries after dinner, but instead I had a Muller something yoghurt instead.
Otherwise my diet was the same as usual. I didn’t drink as much water yesterday either. I think I only drank two litres. Usually I am drinking three or four litres per day.
I slept in this morning and didn’t wake up until someone in the office phoned me at 9:30. It is now 10:30 and I am just going to get my breakfast. A bown of fruit and bran and glass of Adez soya and fruit juice.
Yesterday I took a walk to the shop and I increased my speed. I even ran the first kilometre. I think gradually over the coming weeks I will run further each time I go to the shop, and then eventually I will be jogging all the way!
I am not really concerned about small fluctuations up in my weigh, as I am sure I will get back on track within a couple of days if I keep sticking to my healthy eating plan.
The fifth week of my challenge has started well. I have droped 0.6kgs since yesterday, and I have now smashed through 90kgs! It now means I only have 9.5kgs to go.
I am really happy with the progress so far. When I get closer to my goal I am going to go clothes shopping and treat myself. I think by the time the January sales start I should be ready to go!
I am going to go for a walk today, a little further than I have been going. Up until now I have been walking for 30 – 35 minutes. Today I am going to increase it to 45 minutes. I am also going to do a workout on the Power Plate.
Four weeks now completed in my challenge, an I have nearly broken through 90kgs. Down half a kilo since yesterday. This week has been my most successful. I have lost 2kgs this week. In total in the 28 days so far, I have lost 6.3kgs, petty much 1 stone!
I have noticed that my flexibility has also improved. Credit here really has to go to the power plate. I did a test yesterday. I tried to touch my toes, and fell about two inches short. Then I did a 60 second hamstring stretch, and after that, I could wrap my fingers underneath my toes! How cool is that!
Well I had a mince pie with some cream last night. Maybe it is the reason why I am up 0.1kgs. I did go out for a 35 minute walk last night, and when I got home I just fell fast asleep. I was hoping to have come closer to breaking 90kgs today but unfortunately no.
I am going to see some friends today, but this evening I am going to go for another walk. Similar distance, but I am going to increase my pace a little. Looking forward to breaking 90kgs!
I did a good power plate workout last night and it seems to have paid off. I am down another 0.2kgs. I have really started to notice the difference. My clothes are much looser, and when I look in the mirror I can really see a difference. Quite a few people have also commented about it to me.
I am really looking forward to breaking through the 90kg mark. It is just a matter of days now I hope.
This evening I am going to cook a chicken stir fry.
Another positive move. Down 0.1kgs since yesterday. I am a quarter of the way through my challenge and I am 4.9kgs, so I am on track!
I haven’t done much exercise in the last few days, but I am going to do a power plate workout today and then later I am going to go for a walk to the shops.
