Welcome to Vapourland

Holy crap!  I didn't realise that it's been nearly a month since I last blogged.  There's more than one reason for that; the two main ones are being busy, and being lazy.

So anyway, last time I blogged, I was 122.4kg, and that was on 14/04/11.  Today is 16/05/11, and today's measurement was 118.3kg.  So that's around 4kg over 4-4.5 weeks.  This is a surprising result for me, because I actually thought that my weightloss had stalled over the last week or two.  This shows me that I'm still shedding kilos at roughly the same rate.  So I am happy.  Total loss is now 16kg (approx).

I've had to work for it though.  With Melbourne winter steadily encroaching, it's getting colder, and unexpectedly, I've been craving both soups and carb-heavy foods like pasta and potato.  I guess the body wants warmth, either from warm liquids or from burning carbs.  It's been taking a fair bit of self control not to indulge in lots pasta dishes several times a week.  Hopefully as winter progresses, the desires will be easier to control.

Finally (for today), my trainer has shown his true colours - he's mad!  Several times now he's pushed me to the edge of nausea.  He just keeps upping the ante on me.  Today for example, I was actually in danger of dropping a 20kg barbell on my head, because my shoulders were so fatigued that the right one pretty much gave out.  He called a halt to the exercise right there; it was at the end of the session anyway, so it was a lucky save for me.  And he's just going to get tougher as time goes on.  Woe is I!

Anyway, that's it for now.  Hopefully it won't be as long between updates next time.

Stay hoopy, froods!
