First of hello to anyone reading this.
Right the time has come to get a grip and change my life for the better, I'm 28 and weigh around 35 stone [500 pound], give or take a little. Don't know exactly as the scales I have only go up to 32 stone. I did have a diary a few year ago under a different name but as I'm back It obviously went pete tong.
I have finally had enough of living the life I have for years, I'm nearly 30 and it's time too sort it out now because if I don't do it now I could be dead in 5-10 years [if I'm lucky] and no one wants that obviously. So as of this last sunday just gone [11-01-09] I had my last drink as I drank way to much verging on the border of a alcoholic if I'm honest with myself. Then after drinking the binging on the take outs and the likes start.
Tonight was the first night I have gone out and done any exercise for along long time, only walked half a mile round the block but it's a start and I was pleased to have finally started to do it. I wont lie and say it was easy as I had to have a little 10 second rest half way round as my back started to thrash but i got round.
Food wise I used to eat loads of crisps and pastry things, and take aways like the fish and chip shop was the worst as some weeks I would have it 4-5 times a week, plus that would lead me to have 3 rounds of bread and butter with the chips, never been a big fan of sweet foods though.
Food wise from now on, although I am going to allow myself a cheat meal once a week, I'm going to eat fish once a week, homemade veg pizza,tuna pasta bake and a few times a week I will have 6 or 7 veg and chicken for my main meal, plus I can look for some new healthy recipies to ad to my meals. For snacks I'm going to have fresh fruit and low fat yougarts, crackers, crab sticks, istead of crisps pastys chocolate, and sandwiches.
Worked it out and the calories I'll be eating a day work out about 1500 aday might be a little to less but we will see. I don't feel like it's to less as I'm not hungry but have noticed last couple days I have had a little bit off a head ache, dont know if that anything to do with the food intake or cutting the alcohol out. I have uped my water intake to about 3 litres.
Thats it for now.
