Mark's got too fat blog

Not posted for over a week :-(

I am currently at around 11 stone 4 lb - (158 lb) which is a pound down on last week.

However, next week I am on holiday, so I suspect I will gain a few lbs. Since I have not been abroad for a few years, I intend to enjoy myself and just relax.

I will be back and post the damage on Tuesday August 1st.

Week | Weight | Loss | Total loss
Week 0 - 167 lb
Week 1 - 167 lb (-0 lb)
Week 2 - 163 lb (-4 lb) (-4 lb)
Week 3 - 163 lb (-0 lb) (-4 lb)
Week 4 - 161 lb (-2 lb) (-6 lb)
Week 5 - 162 lb (+1 lb) (-5 lb)
Week 6 - 159 lb (-3 lb) (-8 lb)

Last weeks gain proves to be just random water retention or something like that. I cheated a bit this morning - I always weigh in before breakfast - but I forgot this morning, and weighed in after breakfast at 160lb - so I subtracted my oats and water from my weight to keep things constant.

Last week went OK - went to a mates birthday on saturday which involved a BBQ (I cooked stuff and didnt each mch of it) and beer (about 6 cans). Overall Saturday was probably over my calories due to the alchohol, but I was careful on Sunday and was on my feet all day as well. Due to be being busy I did 2 very short gym sessions last week - this week I am going twice again, but for longer. This weekend is a 20+ mile backpacking trip in the lakes, which will be fairly intense.

If progress photos do not appear this week, use the comments to remind me :-).

A gain. I did eat out late sunday night, so that gain will be gone in a few days. Back to the gym tonight - walked 10 miles on Sunday over Helvellyn and Catsycam - seriously hard work in the heat. Some pics will be appearing of that walk soon, but here is striding edge (our route up) to get you started:

And the summit photo (carried a tripod up a 900m mountain for this):
