Weekly Goal Plan to lose weight with Steps and Potential Risk Areas and Pitfalls.











 

Hello Everyone,


So with this goal, I figured a needed a plan or steps. I’ve started with working backwards - it’s like working destination first and then how to get there. Then I worked out the potential pitfalls and risk areas.

 Steps Work from Goal Plan

  • On Sunday, weigh myself at Virgin Active aim to be 81kg - yes still keeping with the one pound target. 
  • Sunday morning walk to Virgin Active to get weighed - and have a nice hot tub and steam room. 
  • Walk up stairs for a week instead of taking the lift/elevator 
  • Walk to up a hill after work at least three times a week.
  •  Do twenty minutes light cardio at least three times a week - sheduled - Monday, Wednesday, Friday. 
  • Avoid deserts at work all week, and no cakes or pastries at the weekend either. 
  • Plan lunches and dinners in advance - at least a day ahead. 

 Risk Areas and Potential Pitfalls 

 These are potential obstacles and barriers to achieving my weight loss - at least so I'm aware of them in advance. Most of them are based on my moods at the time, and are pretty much the different versions of the same thing.
  •  Working late and getting too tired to cook or make anything - this tends to lower my resistance as I pick up stuff on the way home - normally a reduced price bakery products or eating a sugar laden cereal . 
  • Working under pressure or feeling under pressure to deliver - I normally have a chocolate bar or something sweet. 
  • Getting too tired after work so I just literally forget the plan or bypass it getting upset so I just get what I want instant gratification if something nice is on display 'This-time-won't-matter' mindset.
  •  Feeling 'this-is-a-once-in-a-while' treat I can't let go 
  • Supermarket reducing really expensive pastries at the end of day 
  • Bored with eating healthily or just generally boredom 
  •  Feeling as I'm depriving myself or going without when I just want to eat what I want
  •  Not actually planning meals or following the plan
  • Feeling the goal is unimportant in the short term and I can start tomorrow. 
  • Buying sugary cereal!
  • Giving in to temptation.
  • Eating late at night. Like super late - however this also ties in with working late. There is cascading effect on some things.
There are simple solutions though they aren't easy. I could simply avoid going to the supermarket after work. It's more difficult than it sounds. I could plan and cook weekly but I like fresh food and frozen stuff thens to hibernate in my freezer for a very very long time.

Check-ins?

I haven't figured this one yet. So simple but still a lot. Perhaps just a review at the end with lessons learnt. To be fair this will be an on-going goal until I get to a reasonable weight - basically fit into my old clothes again.

See you later

Up Date on Happenings: Newly Single & 17% pay raise.

Hey Everyone, So update since my last entry. Well I had a brief fling with Mr Sexy Guy and decided he wasn't the one for me. He was cool but I learned the difference between lust, chemistry and personality. It just didn't tango for me. I'm still grossly overweight, well, fat. I don't think there is anything wrong with being called fat. I am fat. I need to lose weight but that means getting organised and stop eating delicious food. Then again my knees are hurting me and joints feel the ache. I also haven't been to the gym in three months despite paying for it. But when I do, I normally go for the sauna, hot tub and   steam room session. I've thought of cancelling the exorbitant membership but in the climate apart from bills it's the one thing that is just for me...that when I use it. Work is fine, managed to get a 17% pay raise. A big thanks to my boss who also pushed for it. It's good to work for people who support you in that matter. I think tha...

Goals - one thing at a time - weekly or less frequent blog. Yoga was HARD! Still on track with eating plan,

Despites all my good words, I am slipping back into old bad habits and overloading myself with things to do. Distractions. Everything is important. So I've decided to get tough with myself and focus on my major goal. The one that will be most beneficial to me and a causality of that will be writing this blog daily or near daily. So I'm going to be focusing on my major goal and push myself to focus and I think all the other activities, and I mean a lot are diluting from the process. This means getting rid of non-value adding activities. Oh dear, I sound rather corporate. My week so far. If Pilate nearly killed me, then in Yoga was the firing line. OMG! What is it with these gym classes being so dynamic! When I mean dynamic I mean break-into-a-sweat dynamic. I'd never hadn't had such a difficult class - obviously I was the largest. Okay - let's go fat-shaming- don't you just love that word? I was the fattest by a long stretch. And the unfittest. My body was ou...

HAPPY NEW YEAR - LET THE GOALS ROLL

Hello all. Happy New Year! So last year was awesome for me because I managed to achieve one goal. The biggest goal which was to get a new job. And that came with financial reward as well. Yay! It was hard, challenging, horrible. I hate change but I had to get out of the rut I was in. Dudes, I was desperate to move. So I dug deep, did my interview practice, attended a number of interviews and hit one. Yay. Now longer gaming. I didn't need the escapism with my new positive work environment. I also abandoned the iPhone family and went Android. To cut a long story short, I got bought an iPhone 8 but it was faulty - however Apple weren't transparent about their return policy - ALWAYS ASK ABOUT RETURN POLICY. Nor did they believe the phone was faulty. It was. Anyway I was so disgusted the arrogance of the 'apple people', I decided instead of getting a replacement to spend my money elsewhere. I'm still part of the Apple family. But the Apple Store sales assist...
