Ok, so here I come back, goaded on and shamed (somewhat) by the fortnightly reminders from Fatsecret, over a year after I stopped watching my weight. Many reasons: dug-up CP, the break with Fitness First, the tremendous pressure at work that ensured I came back home at around 2.30 am every night and the consequent inability to get up early enough the following morning, a horrible spell of illness for over a month in the middle, and so on. But at the end of it, it is, as it has been for as long as I have known myself, weakness of will.
It's 95.6 kg this morning, 3 kg heavier than the lightest I have been while on this programme, and back to about what I was on my birthday last year.
Is there a goal? Well, let me try and lose as much weight as possible by July 13, when we go off on the vacation. Getting back to 92.6 is probably going to be impossible, but let me try. That would be 3 kg in 21 days, or 1 kg a week.
What would that mean in eating terms? 3 kg is 6.6 lbs. According to an earlier calculation in this journal, 3,500 fewer calories converts into the loss of an lb of weight. So, losing 6.6 lbs means eating 23,100 fewer calories over the next 21 days starting today (and continuing till July 13). That is, eating roughly 1,100 fewer calories every day.
According to the exercise measurer on this site, at my weight, without going to the gym, and continuing exactly with my same lifestyle, I burn around 3,000 calories per day.
Which means that on any given day, I MUST NOT consume more than 1900 calories.
Not too tough. But let's see.
