Williams Big Gut

In November I started another blog called Williams big gut and the plan was to post my weight there each day in an effort to lose a bit of flab.
I managed 4 days before I got bored of doing that. I am too good at remembering to do things like weighing myself each morning and I am sure it was not interesting to anyone anyway.

Since January 1st I have been on The New Year Diet, meaning that I have been eating healthily, in controlled portions and not snacking or eating cake. So far so good, but if I want to reach my "race weight" by the end of June I need to make consistent progress.
There is a good website call caloriesperhour.com that allows you to find out what your ideal weight is and how to get there. It is a great site, you can enter your current weight and your goal weight and then determine how long it will take at a given calorific deficit or in my case, the date you want to be that weight by and it will tell you how many calories to deprive yourself of each day. In my case it is just under 500 which is more or less the same as a Starbucks grande latte and a Mars bar. If only I had one of each of those each day it would be really easy to see how to drop the calories out of my diet, but unfortunately I don't so I'm having to make it up as I go along.
So far I am
  • Riding my bike according to my training plan (6 hours this week)
  • Not eating between meals
  • Not eating cake, sweets or chocolate
  • Eating more veges and salad at lunch
  • going to be hungry (it sucks)

So far I am actually 2.5kg less that I was on January 1st, but still 1kg heavier than I was last time I posted on williamsbiggut in November.

Lots of work to be done especially if I ever want to reach the 89kg (14 stone or 196lb) that I apparently should weigh! For the record I am aiming for 95kg in June and if I can continue on that path 90kg in September for the Trans Austria race.
