Morning,
Woke this morning, and sticking to ritual, jumped straight on the scales. Problem! It was reading my body weight, but each time it tried reading my body fat, it would come up with 'Err-h.' As i said yesterday, i was going to weigh myself 5 times and take an average of my results. So on the scales i hopped 5 times, and 5 weight results, and 5 Err-h messages. So my results were as follows
Body Weight - 113.2kg (mean)
Body Fat - Err-h (which upon reading the trouble shooting, a message which means "body fat percentage too high. Please watch your diet and do some exercise."
So further more to my diet, i'll give you all a run down of what my eating habits are.
Sunday - 3 meals, as low carb as possible
Monday - fast during the day, low carb dinner
Tuesday - 3 meals, low carb
Wednesday - 3 meals, breaky and lunch low carb, dinner can be a cheat meal in that i can eat or drink whatever i choose)
Thursday - fast during the day, low carb dinner
Friday - 3 meals, all low carb
Saturday - all day cheat day. within reason, eat or drink whatever i want.
My thinking is that as i will get down the track, and a much lareger portion of my diet will be fasting during the day. This isn't something i've just come up with, there are plenty of diets out there that are like this. I've done plenty of research on the subject of dieting, and it seems like fasting during the day is a good option that alot of body builders take on these days. With good results too. As there is no scientific evidence out there to suggest that it IS in fact better for your metabolism to eat 6 small meals a day, i've decided to stick with my breaky lunch and dinner being the three i need for the time being. It's also very hard to have so many meals (or breaks) with the line of work i'm in. Even stopping for lunch at times is forgotten.
I also put in my evening blog yesterday that i consume 5-6 litres of water each day. Its best not to drink much within 3 hours of going to bed. Don't want to be up and down to the toilet during the course of the night - good weight loss is also boosted from good sleep. So i try to have my water all drunk by 6pm, maybe with only a cup of water or green tea after this time.
At the moment, i'm off the booze. We all know i like a beer or two, but after the xmas period, i decided it was time to take a break, and see what i can really do with my weight/fat loss. A huge part of my diet is having as little sugar as possible. None if i can, and alcohol is riddled with sugar. The beer and bourbon i love, its just on a holiday at the moment. Only until Australia day though. It was last thursday i put myself on an alcohol ban, and it was exactly 4 weeks until Jan 26, this will be the longest time i've gone without alcohol since before my 18th bday, so i'm not expecting it to be easy all the time. It would definitely be my biggest vice. So far so good though.
On a final note......can somebody please open a gym in Gracemere, this would be very handy.
Cheers
Good work Peter. Don't like the idea of fasting though - unless you do it between meals!
ReplyDeleteYou are doing well with the drinking but I think you should be allowing yourself some small amounts rather than not having any at all.
