11/10/2018: 158.8lbs
Wow. I should add, this past week I've been getting back into Muay Thai training 2-4 times per week. No doubt that has contributed to the rapid weight loss this week in conjunction with the diet.
Today, I still feel good. Although my neck and upper traps are a little sore due to working on clinching in Muay Thai last night...
I received a delivery yesterday of some 100% grass fed minced lean beef which I tried last night, and I must say it tastes better than the supermarket stuff. A bit pricier, but health is wealth - I've never begrudged paying more for healthy food. It also seems to be more filling as well, perhaps due to higher nutrient/micronutrient density?
I decided to search for an online butcher as my research has found that much of the beef one can get in the UK is grass fed anyway, though with winter approaching, it seems unlikely that grains aren't used at least some if the time. Also, regarding price, having this grass fed beef delivered to me only costs an additional ~15% on top of what I'd be paying for the supermarket stuff anyway. This seems to me a good investment. I'm also only trialling this for a week or so, as I'm planning to adjust my food choices a bit at some point next week.
Jolly Day tomorrow. I aim to maintain relatively sensible food choices and don't want to embark on a junk food binge - to be honest, right now I just really fancy some porridge... And maybe some pizza... More than anything though I'm excited for drinks at the evening wedding reception.
Also, given that I've ploughed through a couple of weight targets this week due to delaying my Jolly Day, my plan is to see how my weight fluctuates at my Saturday morning weigh-in before confirming my next target. Basically, as long as I jump back up to more than 160.5lbs, it'll be business as usual, but if I'm any less than that, I will skip the 160.5 target and readjust for 159 to be the next target.
Fabio says not to skip targets/Jolly Days in an attempt to be a hero, so I hope that I do shoot up to more than 160.5 on Saturday, and I also hope not to have to delay a Jolly Day so much in the future.
