Week 4 - 1 Month Down

Another week down rounding out the first month.  It saw me make another 900 gram loss on the scales.  At least that was the specific figure this morning.  The weekly average however, was 600 grams.  A figure I am sure my dietician would be happier about.

To be fair, I do expect to be a little heavier tomorrow, maybe by anything up to 500 grams.  This is why I imagine that the dietician prefers the weekly average approach.  I'm keeping track of both and it will be interesting to see how they compare over time.

The reason I am counting on being a little heavier on the scales tomorrow morning is that I am not confident that I re hydrated properly after MMA training last night.  It was a great grappling session, but, it was also pretty humid.  Testament to the fact was that the mat was covered with sweat from one end to the other and it was not just from me this time!  Everyone was doing their fair share.  I just know that I put in a good effort on both my contribution to the dampness as well as the session itself.

Whilst I did make an effort to take in water during and after the session.  I'm pretty sure that I did not replace all of the fluids prior to going to bed.  As such I imagine that my weight this morning was a little lower than what it should have been.  We'll see what tomorrow brings.

What a fascinating story eh....

At the end of this the first month of living light heavy, I have dropped 6.9kg on the scales.  A great start!  I'm already feeling like I am carrying around a stack of energy instead of the weight.  It's really helping to allow me to push harder in all my training efforts.  Whether it be rowing, strengthfit or in MMA sessions.  All are easier than they were a month ago, but, harder at the same time because I can push myself.  Really looking forward to seeing more improvement and where I am placed this time next month.  I am sure the weight loss will be less, but, no doubt the results will be no less satisfying.
