Weight project status - 16 days to go!

3 days ago morning weight was +2,8 kilos vs target.

2 days ago morning +1,7 kilos.

Yesterday morning +1,0 kilos.

Today morning weight +1,8 kilos.

...ups and downs, while seems to be going into right direction. Sports and eating naturally influences the kilos so this is in theory a no-brainer exercise. If I only had more time to do sports...

Let's see what the weekend does again, 16 days to go!

 Bon appetit, have a great weekend you all!!!

Weight project status - 23 days to go!

Looking good - too good!

In few days I seem to have been able to squeeze liquids out from my body by doing sports and having my diet around protein and low fat diary products. This combined with avoiding carbohydrates and sugar does it.

Today's status after mild sports and snack, before dinner is 1,8 kilos. 

...let's see if I need to go towards a stretch target - or if the weekend with some salty chorizo and cheddar, pizza, beer etc compensates the fast start...

Weight project - Stats today

Current weight status after dinner, before basketball is +2,6 kg vs. target noting that my weight can go up or down quite a bit during a day.

Yes, I will target to go under the target leaving no room for speculation...

25 days to go, let's play ball! ...and burn some calories...

Weigh project: Lose 3,5 kilos in 26 days!

I like challenges and I just set myself one: I must lose 3,5 kilos from my body weight in 26 days.

I'M GONNA DO IT!

I'll try to keep you somewhat posted with the progress as it keeps the pressure on. Unfortunately I don't have as much time to do sports as I'd like, so I must keep the focus both on getting the exercise - the output - as well as keep focus on the eating, what and how much and when - the input. 

So today's number is +3,5 kilos from target!

Donuts or not for supper...

Silence is golden...

...speaking is diamonds! Sorry for the silence, no excuses.

Today is the day when basketball world will have a chance to make a revolution. In theory. It will not happen as USA will win the FIBA Basketball World Cup 2014 in the final game against Serbia.

Why wouldn't Serbia win?
For the same reason that the sky is blue: It just is so and you can't help it.

Team Finland tried and failed - badly. If you look at the numbers behind the teams it becomes quite obvious why. Double-click the pic to enlarge it...

In US is 29,3 million basketball players, that is 29.300.000, and in Finland 21.000.

US has got 14 Olympic gold medals and 4 World Cup wins. Finland's best rank in Olympics is positions 9-16.

In FIBA ranking US is #1, Finland #39.

Average player height US 201cm, Finland 199cm vs average weight US 100,5kg vs Finland 95,5kg. Interesting particularly if we think of average age US 24 years with Finland's 29 years...

Most national team games Finland's Tuukka Kotti with 170 games vs US Rudy Gay's and Derrick Rose's 19 games.

Yes, the US players are simply better, more skilled etc, hence no wonder their best paid player gets 14,7 million Euros per year vs Finland's best paid player - and best player - Petteri Koponen with his 0,9 million Euros per year.

Congratulations to team USA for winning the FIBA Basketball World Cup 2014!
