Friday, Saturday and Sunday were all pretty much the same so I’ll not bore you with the details. I syuck to my eating plan, I stuck to my Wii Fit exercise plan and on each day I ended up with a nice calorie deficit.
I thought instead I’d use this post as a summary to how I did. Well I weighed myself last night on my fancy pansy scales and in the 2 weeks I was doing this I lost….3 pounds and 8 ounces. I am now basically the same weight as I was before Christmas…it only took 2 weeks to correct. Whilst I’m happy with my results they do pale a little compared to my wife who has been doing exactly the same thing as me (without the Wii Fit experimentation). Altogether in those 2 weeks she has lost nearly 6 pound. Think about that, that’s nearly a stone a month, eating what would be regarded as completely normal food. Neither of us has resorted to eating low calorie, no taste, diet muck. Over those 2 weeks there has been generous portions of sausage and mash, spag bol, chicken korma, sausage and chips, pizza. There hasn’t been one “diet” meal.
So there you go, a calorie controlled diet and exercise really does work. If it doesn’t work for you then I’m afraid you’re lying to yourself either about how much you think you eat or how much exercise you think you’re doing. Get the maths right and you will loose weight. For now though I’m looking forward to getting back in the gym tonight. Now I’ve got my body fat down to pre Christmas levels it’s time to start lifting some weights again.
Just on one final note, I bumped into a friend on Friday who was wondering why I was missing from the gym. When I explained he just laughed at the idea of Wii Fit as a fitness tool. He couldn’t explain why though, burning calories is burning calories, no matter how you do it!
