This is entry 22 of #100DaysToOffload, and my weeknotes for the week 2024-10-20 to 2024-10-27.
It's been a fairly quite week, since I have been getting back in the flow of work (ever busy, and will be particularly busy for the next two weeks, as my boss has decided we can get a huge amount of work done on the project in two weeks + I've also been given several others things I need to do, on top of the outstanding tasks)... It never stops, does it, the work?
Not much happened during the week, again it being quite busy from work. I did see a friend of mine online Monday evening, and went to the gym on Tuesday. The rest of the week was... work.
Over the weekend, I've been both Saturday and Sunday to the allotment. It was looking horribly messy, but hoeing it down it now is a lot better. Still some work to do on it, but pretty much I am going to put the garlic in (next month) and then pack up shop for the year. I've been given some lovely reddish purple beans (runner, iirc) by one of the fellow allotmenteers. He wants us to put entries into the competition.
I re-arranged my room Saturday. I've moved the bed back into the corner from where it was, which will hopefully stop it getting moved when I jump into it, and have separated it from the rest of the room with my chests of drawers. I can hopefully chuck plants on them as well to clearly mark out the "bedroom" and the "office" parts of the room a bit clearer. Just to stop me from working from bed so often!
Tonight (Sunday) we're eating out for a curry at a Keralan place! Looking forward to it.
I'm about five days behind, but that'll be fine. I'll continue it into November for as many days as I need, and then just keep on trying to do it. I imagine I will have to begin learning techniques at some point.
I want to lose 22 pounds in 22 weeks (five or six months), to get me down to 10st 7lb. If I lose all of that from fat (not muscle) then I will be at about 15% body fat, which will be good for me. It'll solve the problem of me always thinking about my tubby stomach. I wonder if I should add a section to the website to track it...
In doing so, I will need to maintain a fairly high protein diet (rest can be fat, but try keep carbs to a minimum) and keep tracking it. I'm not going to count calories, but will just make sure all of my portion sizes are smaller (to keep a deficit) and make sure most of the calories are protein. Once carbs are out of the picture, I just need to lower the amount of oil I have, and hopefully that will be enough.
(And moderate what I eat, so I don't eat huge great meals at every mealtime. That will be difficult for me - I love food)
I've booked in an evening to listen to Mozart music in a few weeks time. I also want to go try speed-dating this year... either in November or December.
I've booked in my LM2 exam for early December so I'll need to get a bit more serious about studying for it. I've also booked in my first RHS exam for 10 February, so I'll need to start studying for that from December or the new year a bit more properly. All very fun!
Ok, see you next week :)
