Week 22 and a loss at last.

A quick post - so much to do before I'm off for a few days with the family..Atlantis here we come - Can't wait.

Today is week 22 , and I have lost 2 kgs - about time.... I'm now down 24 Kgs or 53 lbs - 3 more lbs to the big 4 stone - Slowly but surely - imagine if I had got my fill when I wanted it 10 weeks ago !

NSV - I tried my wedding suit on this week.. It has not been worn since my wedding 10 yrs ago and it fit me - Shame it so OUT OF FASHION I can't wear it... Grrrrrr.

BMI - I am officially Obese - My BMI is now under 40.....This is not something that actually means anything to me because in my humble opinion the BMI is a crock of shit.

Exercise - GOOD - This month so far 13 sessions and 11,000 calories burnt -  I do wish I listened sometimes to advise (Sandy did say watch the knees) and after playing 3 games of squash in 5 days my knee blew up like a balloon and is still a little swollen - A case of too much to soon, that or I am simply not as young as I was (No it can't be that ).

So all in all - I feel a little better now the scales have finally moved.

49 degrees today..So hot.. Hope the pool is chilled tomorrow ;-)

Ciao

  1. Pool? You have a pool? I am still waiting for mine to open since I moved in 16 months ago!
    glad to hear that the weight is shifting down again....take it easy on that knee....definitely catch up before you go on vacay....I have moved buildings and now in the heart of the DIFC (aka across the street from where I was!)

  3. I heartily agree...the BMI scale is a crock of shit! There are a bunch of different ones too! If you don't like your BMI with one of them, try a different one...see if it makes you thinner. Stupid charts. I'm glad that your scale is moving down though. Slow and steady wins the race, that's what I keep telling myself.

  4. Congrats on the loss and I agree, BMI is a crock of shit. It doesn't take into account ANYTHING besides height and weight, so yeah, who cares. Good job and have fun on your trip!

  8. Enjoy your holiday. Great job with the weight loss! I love how casual you are about it (like 24 kilos is no big thing). I think all that heat is getting to your brain!

  11. I agree with the BMI-it's a crock. But then isn't it great to be Obese! Enjoy your vacay. Eventually the wedding digs will come back in fashion. Just wait.
