First weight-in

Well today is weight-in day, I will make it a Monday from now on so weekend doesn’t turn it to a slobfest of beer and chips.

I currently weight 262 pounds, I think I will work in pounds as most of the world doesn’t understand UK stones.

Let’s see what next week brings!!!!!

Mother’s phone call

Well this morning I woke to a phone from my long suffering mother telling me to get off my bum and start working out. Interestingly enough I had only just reached a similar conclusion after looking in the mirror and taking a good hard look at myself. I was not a sight I remembered in my minds eye, in fact it was very different. It is too easy to forget what you look like, take the Simpsons when Homer tries to remember situations… he’s always very slim and ripped. However the reality is very different.

So I have cleaned down the gym and oiled the equipment ready for use. The only problem now is getting myself out there and working out. My wife is complaining, my family is complaining, my friends are commenting that I’m a little bit big yet I have a wonderful deflector shield that stops me hearing their advise. So remember my comments about listen and focus… guess what I’ve started doing today.

The day in profile

Today I’m going to concentrate on the food and water I drink.

Breakfast was a simple branflakes and dried fruit mix with skimmed milk. The kids like toast and jam, which leads me to a level of temptation.

However I arrived at work today to find that I had no wallet and therefore no means to purchase quality coffee or bottled water. Note to self check before leaving the house!!!!

Thanks to colleague I managed to get some lunch. Sandwich (homemade), crisps (257 kcal), toffee crisp (228 kcal) and a bottle of diet soda. However it is clear that you can halt your purchasing of rubbish food if you only carry the amount of money you need for the day. So for me £3 provides for everything.

The lack of money today also stopped me from purchasing a load of sweets on the way home from work. I was standing in the garage when I realised I couldn’t pay for anything and sense of relief came over me.

All in all it has been a good day… let wait an see what happens tomorrow.

welcome

Well here I am – providing the world with information into my routine of dropping weight and getting fit. It’s a common story told by millions of people so why should I be any different. To be honest there is no difference, I have plenty of fat in my system and I know that if I don’t start burning it up … it will kill me. My son is now 4 years old and wanting to run and play sports. Right now this is not easy for me due to my selfish eating habits.

I know that it is possible to drop weight and feel better – I have managed it a couple of times in my life so far. In fact I remember them as happy times, and I believe that was because I just didn’t feel my body. Fat people can feel that body move, when they sit the tummy folds up, when your walk your legs rub and when you drive the seat just doesn’t feel quite right.

This is my chance to push my routines and methods on the public. I don’t have to worry as everything on this website is just my findings and not an instruction for anyone to do anything. I might talk about something that works for me, however that same idea might leave you in tears.

Wish me luck…!!
