Same weight as last week

Same weight as last week. Im not really sure whats going on here. Could be due the amount of Green Tea I have been drinking or the fact that last week I went to Kappa Sushi and eat like 9 plates of the stuff. The day after I put a pound on but now Im back to the same weight as last week.

CANT BE DISHEARTED about it! MUST KEEP PLODDING ON


Lifting weights

For the last week or so I ve been trying to research whats best for me for losing fat while lifting weights. So many programs out there. I dont know where to begin.

When I see a program it would have a barbell rack or a smith rack and the gym's I used dont have neither.  I guess I could change them for something else.

Two ppl from the 52DC community recommended one of the below:

Starting Strength by Mark Rippetoe is a great intro book for heavy barbell work
StrongLifts 5x5   http://stronglifts.com/
Greyskull LP

Huge in a Hurry
Men's Health Big Book of Exercises.
NROL for Life

Gonna be researching now about erm.

Stronglifts 5*5 Looks a good thing for beginners
OTD: I generally go to my grandparents for Thanksgiving, but I missed out on that the last couple of year. But I'll be there for 4 days this year. One tradition I look forward to is always having a campfire sometime after dinner. Good times.

Us Brits don't have Thanksgiving Day, nor do the Japanese. Looks like another big roast I miss out on. Looks yummy too.
I'm wrong here


Labor Thanksgiving Day (勤労感謝の日 Kinrō Kansha no Hi?) is a national holiday in Japan. It takes place annually on November 23. The law establishing the holiday, which was adopted during the American occupation after World War II, cites it as an occasion for commemorating labor and production and giving one another thanks. It has roots in an ancient harvest ceremony (Niiname-sai (新嘗祭?)) celebrating hard work

Well if that's so! It's the first time I have known about this. This could be a good time to bring it up and introduce to our family. Getting the family together is always a good thing. A few drinks, some board games. and best yet getting a nice roast in!!

A different kind of thinking . . .

A question came up in the 52DC

QOTD: Have you given any thought to surviving the temptations ahead of you this week and during the up coming Holiday Season? What’s your plan?

My answer:

I know there will be about 6 parties to attend to.
Only two that I will go to and thats are my co-worker after party wedding and close friends party. The wedding is on the 9th of December. The other near the end of December

The close friends party I never miss. I can control myself here, not get too drunk. I like being tipsy I hate being overthetop drunk.

The wedding party I can control the booze but I dont think I can control the food. Paying 86$ dollars to drink and eat has much has u can in the 2hrs I really need to get my money's worth!!

Then trying to burn off the calories that week. I dont want to be go back and putting weight on esp at the Xmas time.

His answer:
Kojiiko: Strong progress. Paying top dollar or all you can eat - is a danger zone - even more so is the attitude that you need to get your money’s worth. You are throwing good money after bad. Enjoy the social time - that is what you are paying for.

After reading this, He is right my attitude isnt really good. I should just pay the dam money and just enjoy yourself has much has possible without overeating. Just be a waste on the progress that I have made so far......

Down 1 but still disappointed

 NOV 20TH  124.8KG (LOST   (0.881849)  1 pounds) (19.652636 stone) (275.1369 pounds) (31.8 BMI) 33.5


Lost only 1 pound but still worth going for it. The problem that Ive been doing is that.  After Shorinji kempo I stop off at a 7-11 store and buy ice cream that turns into buying 3 cos it was so delicious. buying soda. Know that I did so well the week b4 I recently gone overboard.
I knew this would be coming after 5 weeks on my yo yo weight going up and down. I feel I need to get a grip of myself. The next day I weighed myself I gain bit of weight. I knew that I had to train hard to get my weight down for the following week.

Since that ice cream episode Ive been very good. The reason is that I dont go to the store and buy stuff. If I don't go to the store then I cant buy anything. Its that simple!!!
Even thou this week I lost a pound. I feel some what disappointed. I could lost a lot more only IF I had strong will and didn't eat so much ice-cream.

I've been going to the gym more often now. like 3 times a week rather that once every week.  Ive been reading that lifting weight boosts ur metabolism up. Build muscles that will burn more calories.

Another reason Ive started lifting weights, My body is soft, I have no biceps, triceps. The only muscle that i can feel is my calves and my thigh muscles. The rest is just behind the fat maybe LOL.
I said that I didn't like the upper body workouts. But my dad pointed out that u don't like it cos it hurts u. True true very true.
Just been abit worried on what training regime. I should start with. To lose fat or to build muscle.??
I know I should want to burn fat first but would build muscle be more suitable for me.
But to see muscle I need to burn fat first so I think I will be looking for that.

Under 20 stone

NOV 11TH  125.2KG (LOST 3.08647 pounds) (19.715625 stone) (276.01875 pounds) (31.9 BMI) 33.6


Yep I made it I got down to 19.6 stone (125kg) Its been a very long time for me to say Im very happy with myself. Thou for the last 5-6 weeks Ive been having a hard time getting the weight down. I havent been able to control myself esp with events that I have attended to. One piece of fatty foods turns into 6 or 7 >.<
Thou this last week or so Ive put my foot down and just eaten one thing. If I dont Ill just be stuck at this weight.

I have a point to prove now. Students at school are asking me have I lost more weight.
I'm a bit miffed, and a bit embarrassed when the students ask me to show them my muscles and I dont have any to show except for my legs or my calves my biceps are just still soft with fat.
This has given me more motivation to hit the gym more often.

Also I've decided to start learning about basketball and trying to do exercises that will help me jump higher. If I can shoot ok and dribble, plus the extra bonus when Im light enough Id like to dung. Just to show off so to speak.

My training thou. I need to research more. probably eat more protein than Im doing now is just trying to eat healthy food minus the junk food.

I also havent put photos of me on facebook until I reach my target weight. I wont but I keep saying that I should take photos every two months of myself but I havent yet >.<
One of the front view, and one of the side view ;)

Never buy them things again!!

Every week Ive been buying them gari gari icelolly pops. Only cost me 57yen u can either get Soda or grape 57 kcals flavour. Sometimes they release new favors like Pear, pudding, and the newiest one Chocolate but then the price goes up at 147yen. Also the calories goe up about 100 ckals.

Last night I bought them the new release of Chocolate, I didnt have enough money to buy myself one. I bought my daily does of cawshew nuts (45g). I'd thought I get a bite of the ice lolly just to see what the favor was.

I was so wrong after giving them it, I asked for a bite. Both said 'No' I just I wanted to taste the favor of the new icelolly 'No No No' ffs I just bought them for them.
Made me abit bad! Actually extremely mad!
My son doesnt even do this to me. Daigen and Kunon dont do this to me, (thou they used to do it b4).

Ive decided never to buy them snacks again! Sod them! I just come with my fruits and eat in front of them. I might even buy an icecream and eat it in front of them. Thats how pissed off I am
