Mark's got too fat blog

Well, its been over a year now since I started my weight loss mission. I want to do a long illustrated post about that, but my net access is down at home (fried router?) so that will have to wait.

Results for week 11:
Week | Weight | Loss | Total loss
Week 00 - 167 lb
Week 01 - 167 lb (-0 lb)
Week 02 - 163 lb (-4 lb) (-4 lb)
Week 03 - 163 lb (-0 lb) (-4 lb)
Week 04 - 161 lb (-2 lb) (-6 lb)
Week 05 - 162 lb (+1 lb) (-5 lb)
Week 06 - 159 lb (-3 lb) (-8 lb)
Week 07 - 158 lb (-1 lb) (-9 lb)
Week 08 - HOLIDAY
Week 09 - 160 lb (+2 lb) (-7 lb)
Week 10 - 158 lb (-2 lb) (-9 lb)
Week 11 - 157 lb (-1 lb) (-10 lb)

1 lb is OK, as I went out on Saturday night and drank a bit too much. In order to get this whole thing over and done with, I am going back to a strict no drinking policy after the weekend - where I already have commitments which are going to involve time in pubs / clubs.

I have moved onto the Body For Life program as of last week - so new workouts 3 times a week, and 3 HIIT cardio sessions as well. In practice this means:

Monday - Weights
Tuesday - HIIT Cardio (20 mins)
Wednesday - Weights
Thursday - HIIT Cardio (20 mins)
Friday - Weights
Saturday - Should be HIIT Cardio (20 mins)
Sunday - Rest

In practice, I will usually go out on a long ride (25 - 50 miles) on either Saturday or Sunday, or a long hike etc etc.
The weight training is a upper body / lower body split, so 2 routines to alternate, and having both workouts now, its certainly having an effect. My muscles are not used to this kind of volume, so it hurts for a few days :-).
