Sack Race
Written by The Laddie
Hey there!
I tried to give the Lassie a little bit of blog time before I told you how I got on at Friday’s Weigh In. To be honest, part of me was incredibly nervous about the result, because I had worked really hard not to give in to temptation and always do a full workout at the gym.
Calendar Week 4

Thats a loss from Week 1 of:
3.4 Kg
7.48 Lbs
0.7 Stone
I had a lot of people congratulate me at work and a few people giving me pep talks about how that’s a lot and not healthy and how I should not be eating that pasta. While I was imagining my pasta over their heads, I explained that when you’re as big as me, it is normal to lose a lot to begin with.
Your body starts to shed the toxins and water that you were retaining for that “rainy day”. I knew it would be a lot, but did not think of something like three and a half kilos! That’s three and a half sacks of potatoes or three and a half packs of sugar!
I do feel different, but obviously don’t look any different at all. The feelings I have been having are all in my stomach. No McBloated feelings anymore. I also don’t really trust what’s going on down there, either. I am so unaccustomed to being hungry that I don’t trust myself to know when I really am.
So I have resorted to eating little and often and then watch my portions at my meal times. I can’t really go wrong with that, can I?
The gym is awesome! I walk in and hop on the recumbent bike for 10 minutes, then do 35 minutes on the weights. After that I am back on the recumbent bike for 45 minutes.
I watched which distance I go on the recumbent and I found that I go about 22 km at a time! That is a heck of a distance. But I won’t be going any further, not until my course changes.
As for looking thinner – well, I will keep you all posted!
