End of Week 3 results

Here are the results from this mornings weigh in!

Weight 92.2kg a loss of 0.3kg or 0.66lbs

Blood sugar level 6.3 which is an improvement of 0.5 from last week.

Mixed emotions after this mornings weigh in. As you can see I lost less than a pound in weight. It is at times like this that you need all your strength, mental strength to carry on. One thing I do remember is that one week you might lose next to nothing, but the following week you will lose more than usual. It is just the natural ebb and flow of your body. Any supportive comments would be gratefully received. I think the other reason could be that I have been far less active this week. Normally I go on a 2 or 3 mile walk everyday and I haven't been able to do that this week.

Blood sugar. Remember that this is early morning blood sugar level which is always high as the organs of the body rise levels to wake you up! So this mornings reading of 6.3 is fantastic and more than makes up for the small weight reduction achieved. Another bonus of this way of eating is that as you lose weight your insulin resistance improves and so further reduces your blood sugar levels. Once the ball starts rolling the improvements in health get bigger and bigger. Don't forget that because your body is now burning fat as fuel, your cholesterol levels go down too.

I think in life and in business it is important to set yourself goals, or targets. So for this coming week I am aiming to lose another 1kg in weight and keep my blood sugar to 6.3. Set yourself a target and see how you get on.

Do keep drinking lots of water. If you are dehydrated all the cells in your body store water. As you may know a Litre of water weighs 1Kg so if your body is storing water it is easy to see why your weight can vary so much, whilst diet remains constant.

A great way to speed up weight loss is to excercise more. If you can afford to join a gym thats great, if not go jogging, running or if you need to build your fitness slowly then just walk. Wether you run, jog or walk a mile the amount of calories burnt is the same. You just get there faster and can improve your heart if you get it to beat faster. So if you walk, walk at a decent pace, or as quickly as you can.

I look forward to reporting for you next week!
