Olly has finally given me free reign over the website……woooooo!

So after surviving horrendous tennis injury a few weeks ago – the support has finally come off and i can play tennis again. So am about to start my anti-fattie regime once more.

Net weight loss since the beginning is just 4lbs [as i have put on 2 lbs since injuring my ankle], i am confident, however, that i will continue to lose fatiness at a rate faster than Ollys ability to turn into a chipendale!

My pedometer also died a death over this weekend, so i’ve ordered a brand sparkly new one which will arrive this week. I have to say that the pedometer is a strong motivational tool….my average steps per day was 7000 but i regularly get it up to 13000 (when olly and i walk to work)

Well yesterday was pancake day, so Becca invited many people round for many pancakes. She made chocolate ones, banana ones and probably a few more types I wasn’t paying attention to. Now she claims that she hardy ate any, but since I was not in the kitchen I cannot really verify this. I was, of course, perfectly restrained and didn’t have any at all, but that’s more because I don’t really like pancakes very much.

Of course the obvious question raised by all this tomfoolery is whether or not Becca is going to forgo all those nice things for lent, hmmmmm, I doubt it!

It looks like there is a new arm wresting target for me, Dan beat Phil both left and right handed. One day Dan I will beat you too!

Well I’m up to 37 sit ups and 17 press ups. That’s almost twice what I could do originally. I have also noticed that I seem to be getting less shoulder ache now, maybe this exercise thing is helping!
Becca has hurt her ankle so, after a week of doing no exercise, she has put all the weight back on she lost. Looks like we are going to be walking in every day this week!

Something rather exciting happened this week, I beat Mark at arm wrestling, at last, I am not the weakling of the group! I also got my workout up to 30 sit-ups and 16 press-ups.

This week has been a bit of a bad week for both Becca and I, she put on 3lbs but only lost 2lbs, while I lost at arm wrestling to Phil. Well it was more of a thrashing from Phil, sigh.

Today I managed to have another work out! I managed 25 sit-ups and 12 press-ups. If I didn’t know better I would swear that I saw a hint of a peck muscle in the mirror too.
Becca walked 7320 steps today, according to her pedometer. This is equivalent to 4.54km, and she’s burt off 313 calories apparently.

Becca got her fat monitor thing today as well as a pedometer, after much fiddling with the batteries (she is a girl) she figured out her percentage body fat, it’s 37.4%. That means that of her total body weight 37.4% is pure fat, on the included chart this means that she is classed as fat. This corresponds to £18.31 worth of lard!

I am a much more respectable 19.1% fat.

Well this week has been an interesting one, we moved several gallons of furniture from a house in London to a Big Yellow storage place. As you can imagine I did most of the heavy lifting, so I thought I could skip a workout this week.

After posting my initial workout stats last week my sister took it upon herself to prove a point and beat me! She did 14 press-ups and 30 sit-ups, proper ones too, not the girly ones. So now I have the added competition I think I am going to have to step it up a few gears, possibly all the way up to second.

Becca is steaming on with her regime, she’s lost another two pounds this week. That’s six pounds in total so far.

I have started to get a lot of back ache and shoulder ache recently, I think it’s down to the amount of time I spend in frount of a computer and playing darts. Since I’m not likely to stop these I think that maybe I should start working out a bit and hopefully the pain will stop. So with this in mind I had a workout this morning!! Now being the lazy sod I am I decided to use Becca’s weights, well she has never used them and mine are in the garage. Being girly weights they are very light, 1.5Kg is the heaviest, so using my manly hands I used the 1.5Kg and 1 Kg weights at once.
In order to keep track of how I’m doing I’m going to record how much of each exercise I do. Using Becca’s weights I lost count of every exercise I did, so all I have as a bench mark is the number of sit ups and press ups, 20 and 10 respectively. Not bad for a lard arse who hasn’t done any physical exercise for about a year!
Becca has lost another pound I think. Her exercise this week is involving shopping, not entirely sure I approve of that.

Becca has managed to loose another pound. This is approximately the weight of my white chocolate toblerone with the wrapping, which, coincidentally, Becca has managed to scoff this week.

I have made some pretty amazing progress this week, considering my exercise regeme still hasn’t really started, I’ve dropped 8lbs and shrunk 1.5″ around the waist. Woo for me.
