I went back boxing on Wednesday and had an absolutely fantastic time. I honestly forgot how demanding those sessions were and I am so glad I am now adding them into my weekly routine as I believe I am going to really benefit from them going forward. Unfortunately this is the only workout I got in last week as I got carried away working on projects and locking in ideas for those. I need to find a balance between everything going forward.

Steps

I only managed to hit my 8,000 steps two days last week and I am so mad as I could have pushed myself to complete them so many more times however, I spent a lot of time at my computer working on projects which is going to be something I am doing more often, I just need to work out a balance so I can do my project work and steps without having to neglect one or the other.

Nutrition

I nailed my nutrition is week one however, in week 2 things weren't the best. Granted I stick to my calories however, I had a meal out and a takeaway. For once though I managed to not fall into the cycle of having these daily and got straight back to cooking the following day. I really want to get back on with eating better now though so the weight continues to drop. 

The Struggles of the week

Finding a balance for everything has been the biggest struggle for the week for me and that is why I am planning on sitting down to create a bit of a schedule to stick to going forward rather than winging it. I am hoping a schedule will help me balance working on the weight loss journey and growing my websites. I need to stop talking myself out of gym trips too as these are going to help that weight drop at long last.

Focuses for the week ahead 

Going forward the focus is certainly on finding a balance to get everything I want to do done whilst also putting my weight loss journey back to the front of my mind.

Goals Wrap Up

> Get closer to my 100 Kg target - Unfortunately we are still a bit of a way off this one but we are getting there.

> 8,000 steps a day for 5 out of 7 days - Due to other things taking priority steps haven't been anywhere near good enough but it is time to change that going forward.

> Go on more dog walks - Again other things took over from this but going forward I am planning on going on plenty more with Liam & Odin now time has become available.

> Continue with no takeaways - We broke this one as we had a takeaway after the football on Saturday. I didn't order the greasiest thing on the menu for a change though.

> Go to the gym at least twice - I didn't manage to get to the gym and I am mad at myself to be honest. Time to make the gym a priority as it is needed.

Now for the all important part the weight: 

Start of 2026 weight : 104.7 Kg 

Last weeks weight : 103 kg

This weeks weight : 103 kg

Difference for the year : - 1.7 kg 

I am honestly not surprised that there has been no change as I kind of expected a gain as things haven't gone to plan workout wise & food hasn't been the best. It is really time to get back to it now and really push on to see a bigger difference next week.

My goals for the week ahead:

> Get into the 101 kg bracket

> 8,000 steps a day

>  Gym at least twice

> No takeaways

> 1 night switched off fully to recover

Those are the goals and I am determined to have a much better week than the past. Things have changed and it is time to make the most out of my newly discovered free time at long last whether it is going out getting steps in or doing more workouts.

Let's see what next weeks wrap up includes shall we.

See you soon
