Week #19 (17/04/13)

Sooooo....


Weight: 18st 4lb (+1lb)
Chest: 44.5" (unchanged)
Stomach: 43.5" (+1")
Waist: 41" (unchanged)
Collar: 16.75" (+0.5")

The Good:

- Completed two sessions with my new personal trainer, on Thursday and Saturday
- erm...

The Bad:

- Hosted a barbecue on Sunday, which although had good clean food and lots of veg/salad, also had some beers involved
- Back at University all this week for assessment, which basically means being paid to sit around doing **** all watching a bunch of academics make mountains of work out of tasks that would take me 20 minutes to complete
- 8am sleep clinic appointment this morning meant waking up at 4.30am.  Not in itself terrible, but I forgot, and didn't get to bed until 1am.  This isn't really something that's affected the week, just something that's put me in a bad/exhausted mood today, especially as the appointment was a complete waste of time.




The trainer sessions were incredibly exhausting but enjoyable at the same time.  We focussed exclusively on cardio on Saturday and although I nearly threw up at one point (I may have left breakfast too close to the start of the session) I smashed all previous personal bests for cardio achievements.

I was meant to be doing a solo session at the gym on Monday, but didn't get out of University until very late.  Had a date last night so couldn't go then.  Would've preferred the gym.  Date was rubbish.  Back with the trainer (Chris) tonight, where he told me we'll be focussing on lower body resistance training.  Quite looking forward to it, as I know my legs are in pretty good shape at least.

Disappointed with the lack of losses/measurement gains, but it's just been a shit week.  Also the beers on Sunday, was about half a dozen in all and it's the first time I've had beer in a long time.  My body is probably still figuring out what to do with all the calories.

I'll leave it there as all I want to do is rant about my shit University job (among other things, I have to work the first  two weeks of May unpaid, seriously can't be bothered), but you don't want to hear that.

I'll try harder this week, and those numbers will do good again.
