I know I was grumpy about my 3 lbs (1.36 kg) gain last week, but this week, I was having issues with crisps and snacks, choclate and ice creams along with my usual Syns of sauces and dressings for meals and salads. Almost every day was a high Syn day except for the last 2. So I'm fairly happy to have dropped the 3.5 (1.59 kg) that I have. I'm also feeling fairly motivated for next week. Steve has found me some "core strength" exercises that I can do (he is doing them too). That should make a nice change and slap the body back into the good weight loss routine. Also I have decided to come back fighting against the cravings and cheats I had last week, with a super strict week, and even a nice effort at a Super Speed week. Fish, Fruit, Veg, Salad and Beans. I feel like I deserve a good wake up call, and hopefully get back on track with my targets which are getting pushed further back with the gains and poor losses I have had recently. My average loss of 4 lbs (1.81 kg) / week has decreased to a 3.5 lbs (1.59 kg) / week average! Not good!

+ I'm still under 20 stone (127 kg)! :D

Super Goals for a Super Speed Week:
1. 100% Food Optimising
2. 5 Super Speeds a day! (Fish, Beans, Peas, Melon, Yellow Plums, Berries, Lemon)
3. A full, intense week of cycling.
4. Start the new Core Strength exercises
5. Time to drag out that dumbell again. My shoulder is healed, so time to strengthen up the arms again!

Honestly, Id be happy with a 4.5 lbs (2.04 kg) loss to try work back up to a average loss of 4 lbs (1.81 kg) / week, but, secretly .... between you and me, I'd love a big loss .... as long as it doesnt get followed by a gain again like the pattern I had over the last 2 months!
