New Toggs

Hi all,
Skip the first paragraph if you are just interested in the training stuff...

Jeans
So I ordered some new jeans as my old ones were going home a bit. I found some Wranglers in my size 48" waist and got them through today. Now my trousers are 48", my joggers are all 3XL but these jeans went straight up to my belly button! You know where regular people can wear their jeans. I'm glad I ordered a couple of belts to go with them at the same time! So if you need jeans and your a big fella go for the Wranglers on ebay, these ones are called Texas Stretch and really do give when you have to kneel/bend down. Well happy, although I'm not sure how long I will fit into them if I keep losing size. Hopefully a good few months for the money they cost/hopefully not because I would like to see the size go down!

Training
Tonight I tried out my Fighting Training 3 programme. It went pretty well although I was pretty knackered on the last set of sit ups after doing those bicycles. If I am ok tomorrow I will keep them in and make sure I am doing them correctly because they obviously fired up some new areas!

Other than that it was moves that I'm now used to. I'm just trying to up the intensity but its still hard with the bulk to shift around. I did a cheeky weigh in while over the sports centre earlier and the needle may as well have been stuck where I left it earlier in the week. This is why I need to forget about weigh ins and do a monthly one, hopefully to see the needle move a bit! Otherwise I'll get disheartened and like before things will start to stop. I do not want that to happen this time.

Dinner
We had battered cod and veg for dinner. I have to stop eating everything on my plate. I don't make my own dinner usually and to be honest even though I've had a heart to heart about weight loss I am still getting pretty much the same amount of grub. I'm making up for the extra calories by eating better foods than I was through the day. However I can not get around the extra bad stuff, fat content, oils, processed foods, etc... It's a bit of an eye opener and I may just start to make my own meals or eating half of what's been given to me. I think I'd rather have two smaller meals than one big one if left to my own devices. Dinner is usually shortly after I get home too, which means I am digesting for an hour or two before I attempt my workout. I am sure it is hindering my intensity. Maybe it's all in my head! FFS, this is not easy!

Holiday!
I am now back on hols for a week and a day :) I am going to have a right busy time of it when I get back so hopefully I can make the most of it and the weather will stay with us. I'm going to workout for a bit more I think just to give my arse a kick in the right direction. I may start to go interval jogging again, possibly after my workout. Reload the Zombie Run app or Strava or both and see if I am any fitter than the last time I gave the cobbles some punishment. I have a gaming night on Monday so may pop over to work and get in the gym for a while, take my time and try out 5 minutes on each machine or something. I'm not due round my mates house till about 8pm so there will be a bit of hanging around as the gym will probably close up by about 4pm but it will be a good excuse to go do something different.
