Weight / Fat loss

Plank thing???

so, alcohol and ketosis ... really bad idea. omg I feel terrible this morning!

80.1 last night, full clothed after a run, pretty sure I'll be well under 80kg come Monday.

Had a dinner last night of a huge bag of salad, cooked quorn fillet, a tin of pilchards and some peppers.

Monster dinner and bugger all calories.

71.5 this morning despite eating a whole bag of giant milkybar buttons, oh well cycled the 26 miles into work this morning and riding home so I suppose I might just get away with it!

Jam and almond butter sandwichs are so much nicer than energy bars!

i am currently 202 pounds. Not the unit of measurement I normally use but i feel getting under 200 pounds is a good milestone. Running 6 days a week plus commuting by bike and swimming twice a week. Also eating much moe carefully and not drinking during the week. This has to work right?

2lbs should easily be lost by being de-hydrated or by eating healthily for a week.

well i dont want to lose it by dehydrating. I was going for a pound a week. My problem is currently that the lions starts at 11am which leads to all day/night drinking.

Ha! The Lions match is a test for any man...

I more meant that 2lbs isn's a massive target (just under 1Kg) and as a % of your overall weight, it could be lost just through dehydration. Obviously, healthy eating / exercise is better!

You could easily expect to lose 1Kg a week by cutting out booze and eating well but adding the exercise you've laid out, you'll lose much more.

Bagged salad and Quorn?
That's an expensive diet!

Quorn is cheap. Cheaper than chicken breast.

and the bagged salad was 97p with enough for 4 servings.

Wait... Almond butter Ed? Sounds lovely.

Yep, like peanut butter but made with almonds.

Its gooooooooooooooooooood.

Muesli with almond milk is lovely!

Does the alcohol not stop the ketosis?

It definitely does. But 4th July/Friend died. So start again...

Didn't destroy my weight too badly, at 80.9kg / 19.7%(ish) body fat

I like my scales, they tell me my body fat is 11%.

This may well be bollocks, but it's a nice lie to start the day with.

haha yah I don't believe mine either. I really think I'm more like 23% but hey, as long as it tracks down I'm fine

My scales tell me I'm 38% which is clearly bullshit

I found I could get away with drinking while on keto. However the hangovers and choice of drinks made it not really worth it.

well I went for beer which is sooo not keto. I knew it was going to be a longish session, and whisky would have really killed me.

I did regret it a huge amount yesterday morning.

@ Ed- I've been thinking about how much you're training/ racing, and all things considered- and using my recent experience as a template- I don't think you need be concerned about what you're eating. In fact I reckon you'd improve with a higher carb intake...

Personally, I'm enjoying the last 3 days off before work and training kick in again.
30 miles of commuting should help with things... Planning on 3 short evening 10k runs, then 1 longish weekend runs, 2 x circuit sessions, and the occasional swim/ weights session.
This will change, as it always does, and when I join the Tri/Athletics Club.

hmm so I spent the day on a raft, in the water drinking vodka. no carbs, so that's ok right?
