Paul,s weight loss journey

[mspiggy]

I am back on shift today so my workout is as follows,
chest press x12, military press x12, bent over rows x12, bicep curls x12, tricep push-downs x12, wall squats for 1 min and calf raises x25. 3 passes through.

I will do my tabata workout tomorrow morning and that will be push ups and prisoner squats, 20 secs work and 10 rest. I alternate between them, I usually end up doing push ups from my knees.

Food today's:
Poutine made with sw fries, baked beans,corn on the cob and a pork chop.Yogurt.

You are doin so well, hope you're feeling very proud of yourself, i once had a newfoundland, he was a working dog and i got him when he retired, I also worked nightshift for years when i was nursing, can really screw up eating habits, sometimes snack all night, sometimes too busy to eat then too tired to eat, but you sound a LOT more organised not to mention fitter than me

Phew Paul..that's what I call exercising, you must be so disciplined, i'm very impressed

Have a good day and upcoming weigh in!

Hi there - back on shift again. How are you coping with these now as I seem to remember you saying right at the beginning of your diary that you struggled a bit.

What do you do to have to work shifts?

I work with the Canadian armed forces as a civilian security officer. I am coping better with my eating while on nights, I eat fruit and a bit of cheese for my snacks and try not to eat anything bigger. It seems to be working out ok.

Thanks everyone. Nothing much to report, I am back on shift, today was my first day. No workout today except walking Roxy.
I did walk for 50 mins at work which is something I do not usually do. I guess to keep the weight off long term I am going to need to do more low level exercise like walking or maybe swimming.

"Enjoy" the shifts Paul. Glad to hear that you have now got into a routine with them.

Have a good weekend and good luck for WI on Monday.

Hiya

walking is a great form of exercising..and simple too! I bet Roxy is also in a routine now of all those lengthy walks, so you are helping your pet stay fit too

(my hubby calls me Roxy now and then, and lately when he says it, i always think of you out walking with your dog!!!! hee hee )....not that I'm saying i'm a dog (ahem!!!! )

Have a succcessful day, fingers crossed for another good weigh in lovey!

[Pommette]

Well done Paul - half way now passed!
Keep up with the body magic too - I'm sure Roxy loves the walks.

 

[RainbowRose]

Another 2lb loss, well on your way to slimville now Paul

 

[FatFairNForty(ish)]

hey Paul - is all ok? Been a while since we heard anything from you x

 

[RainbowRose]

Was wondering that myself Fatfairforty?... he usually posts his result on mondays? Maybe busy working or something?

Hope you are okay Paul?

 

[Pommette]

Hi Paul, also with RR and FFF, hope you are okay. You have really stopped posting on here. Fed up with us or just busy?

 

[tech1960ps]

Iv'e been on my holidays for 2 weeks, 4 lb gain, I was expecting more. Back at it this week.

 

[RainbowRose]

nice to see you back Paul, hope you had a good time! 4lbs gain isn't too bad at all...welcome back to the grindstone!

 

[Pommette]

Hiya - lovely to have you back. I did begin to wonder if you were off on holiday with the boys.

4 lbs on in 2 weeks is pretty good really. Maximus managed 9 lbs in his 2 weeks at Disney in Florida.

As RR says, back to the grindstone and it should disappear. Quickly on, Quickly off!

Good luck.
