Another week, another update. I feel like I’ve underachieved this week, my diet was less than impressive, and my exercise plan was a bit all over the place. Ultimately, however, I have still lost four pounds, which means a total loss of over half a stone in just two weeks!
I attended BWR: Underground 4 on Friday night, and as well as being an absolute belter of a show, it was a helpful reminder of why I am doing this in the first place. I don’t want to spend my life sat in the audience on the wrong side of the barricade, I want to be in the ring, I want to be a wrestler! I know this isn’t an easy ride, it’s not a cash cow, nor is it an easy route to fame and stardom. And to be completely honest (I apologise for the incoming cliché) I am doing this because I want to wrestle and entertain people, because I have loved wrestling since I was five years old and haven’t stopped since. I think this really helped to renew my drive a bit, and my diet improved dramatically over the weekend and going into the coming week, and it’s the same with my diet.
In terms of my exercise plan, I’ve still been placing a major focus on cardio, with an aim to run a minimum of 5 times a week, but I’ve now started to bring in core work. A lot of my fat is around my core, so I figured that by working this particular area, it will help to burn that fat, although I am no personal trainer, so I could be going the complete wrong way about this (please do get in touch if I am!). As far as my diet goes, I have realised the importance of flavour. Last week, I was very plain, in that I just ate things like chicken and rice, without sauce, herbs or spices. As a result, I found that my cravings for food were stronger. So this week, I’ve been adding things like Paprika and Garlic to add flavour, giving me a happier, as well as healthier meal time.
As you can see below, my weight has dropped by 4 pounds from last week, and my waist size has decreased by 0.7″. I am still overweight according to my BMI, but I am certainly getting there!
Height: 5ft 10″
Weight: 13st 10lbs
BMI: 27.4 (Overweight)
Waist Measurement: 36.8″
