Mid-Week 2

by badtzmaru5 on 22 May 2013, 09:59

Have decided to blog a bit to see if this will help me stay on track and also relieve some of my impatience!

I started this WOE about a week and a half ago - have had 3 fasts since (3rd was yesterday).

Starting weight (May 17): 63 kg
Current weight: 62.1 kg
"True" weight: 62.4 kg
Goal weight (Sept 20): 55 kg

I moved to Dublin on March 12th, and weighed 66 kg upon arrival. So I lost 3 kg before starting 5:2. In 3.5 weeks I head back to DC for some meetings and other things, so I'd like to drop that remaining 2 kg before then. I'll be seeing my trainer again after 3 months, so would like her to see a slimmer me! (Also hoping to squeeze in some sessions with her)

I haven't noticed my clothes fitting any differently (even from 66 lb), so I know much of this is muscle loss (which I had bulked up from a year of personal training). I'm going to try the 100 pushup challenge to at least build some strength, so hopefully that will help with inches too.

I've set myself some incremental goals:

May 22: 62.4 kg
June 14: 60 kg (loss of 2.4 kg in 3.5 weeks)
June 30: 59.5 kg (additional 0.5 kg in 2 weeks)
July 31: 58 kg (additional 1.5 kg in 4 weeks)
August 31: 56.5 (additional 1.5 kg in 4 weeks)
September 20: 55 kg (additional 1.5 kg in 3 weeks)

That is a total of 8 kg in 18 weeks, so ~ 0.5 kg/week (a bit higher initially).
