Well, as I have been not-so-subtly reminded, it's been quite some time since my last blog post. Almost two months, actually. Oh well. What's done is done, and none shall change the past. Except maybe those neutrinos they found at the LHC...
In my last post, I was 107.8kg. As of this Monday 3/10/11, my weight was 101.9kg. That was a bit of a stunner for me, because it means I'm only 2kg from my next goal. For those that can't remember, my next goal was to be less than 100kg by my birthday on 26/10. For a while there I didn't think I was going to make it, but now it looks a lot more achievable, even likely.
So now I have to start thinking seriously about my next goal. When I was discussing this with my trainer this week, I spontaneously decided that my next goal weight would be 90kg, but I didn't fix a date. However, there's an alternative to this goal. The 18th of February was my official starting date with my gym, so it seems to be to be a fitting date for a major milestone.
So here's what I'm thinking. I have two choices for a new goal (after I reach the 100kg mark, whenever that occurs):
- Goal 3A: Reach 90kg by New Year's. This may have the complication of X-mas parties, dinner, etc. Also complicating this is the fact that at some point over the Xmas break I'll be travelling down north (that's right, not every one's directions are Northern Hemisphere-centric!). So my training routine will almost certainly be disrupted in that period, but to what degree I don't know.
- Goal 3B: Reach 84kg by 18/02/12. The reason for this particular value is that it will mark exactly 50kg loss from my starting point (134kg, according to this very blog).
Now, on the surface, one goal does not preclude the other. However, I don't know which is the better to aim for. I'm actually open to suggestions. Feel free to add your ideas in the comments.
Anyway, that's about all I have to say at this time. Catch you next time 'round the bend...
