EPTDamn. That blog was only 9 weeks ago, yet it feels like it was years. Anyway, things are going swimmingly, down to 104kg now (For Americans I started at 268 pounds, goal is 200, currently at 229) and whilst I've had a few hiccups in the last month when it comes to clean eating and regular exercise the last week has been excellent and put me firmly back on track (I'm also learning to cook meals from scratch properly as a bonus!).
I count calories as best I can and whilst I have had good success with 1500 per day I've decided on advice from friends with far more knowledge than me on the subject that I should probably make it closer to 2000 (Would still comfortably lose weight with that number), as I find with 1500 the cravings can get really powerful especially if I let myself have a cheat meal because I'll deny myself one less meal that day to stay under the 1500 calories.
Exercise wise I am up to week 2 of couch to 5K, still cycling (But not as much, doing it twice a week to have some exercise on the two days I am not running, and I have weekends off) and I'm up to 36 pushups/situps per day (Put it up by one per day and do it 5 days a week).
In regards to that paragraph I wrote about that girl in the last blog, holy cringe batman, can't even bring myself to finish reading it it is that embarrassing. I'm probably a bit silly as I still talk to her and she has been much warmer towards me as my weight loss has become more noticeable, which makes me a bit happy and a bit sad, but as I said in my last blog, I can't expect people that I'm attracted to be attracted to me if I'm not putting in the effort.
Yesterday was the first time I've noticed significant weight off my chest/stomach and holy shit was I happy, still a long way to go (I'm barely over halfway) but it is nice to finally see some weight off that dreaded stomach. Hoping to hit my goal weight in August (Around my birthday, would be the best present ever :D ) and when I do so I'll post pictures (NSFW, especially the early ones) if anyone is interested.
Thanks for reading, this one was a bit boring I think but hope you enjoyed reading it
