The FAT BURN Blog

Okay its Day 43 … Im back on track and focused.

Today instead of going to the gym to do my cardio I went for an hour and half walk. I enjoy walking and it gives me a good chance to clear my head and some thinking time. Very important when you have a busy life.

So one week to go until the midway point of the 100 Day Mission.

When I started on the 100 Day Mission I was at 116.1kg and my goal was to reach 105kg. This means that I had to lose 11.1kg during the 100 days. Therefore by Day 50 I needed to be at appx 110.5kg.

At this point in time I am a little behind. I have been hovering at just under 112kg for the last week. So the big question is can I burn 1.5kg of fat in 7 days? hhmmm its a big ask but I will be going for it.

I am planning on upping my cardio for the next week or two. Instead of only doing cardio 3 days a week I am now doing cardio for half an hour after my weight sessions 3 days a week, and then 3 days a week of additional cardio.

In addition to this I am tightening up on my food intake for the next week, dropping out some carbohydrates, and lowering my calories a little for the next week.

I will keep you posted on how this goes and if I am on track or off by the 50 Day mark.

Oh … something exciting happened this week.

Many years ago I read a book called “What To Say When You Talk To Yourself” by Shad Helmstetter. It is a book about how we program our minds through Self-Talk. I believe it is a really important concept especially for weight loss.

At the time when I read the book I started to experiment with creating my own Self Talk audio programs for weight loss and did lose quite a bit of weight listening to them.

Well this week I found some audio programs by Shad Helmstetter on Self Talk for weight loss. I have started listening to them and wow are they powerful for focusing your mind on your goal.

I will write an article on this concept in the next few days as I think it is an important one for anyone looking to lose weight.

Okay here are todays pictures:
