Well then…
Today I am 272lbs. Also today I had a bright idea to lose weight, set myself some targets, achieve some goals and become more than the Gluttony that beholds me.
It’s all good and well sitting here looking out of the Oast window when the weather is warm wishing I could get into beach condition for summer, but I know that’s some way off being realistic so let’s focus on today, then tomorrow and then the next day… This year can be the struggle, each other consecutive year can be the maintenance and fine tuning ?.
I would like to be 210lbs, I would also like to lose 2lb a week, given these wishful parameters means all I have to do is achieve 7 small goals each week. 32 times in a row…
“what could be simpler right?” Of course I don’t think that’s the way it will be but here’s to trying ?
I am trying to exercise every day during the week and have taken up photography, cycling and walking for weekend activities. Mostly walking or cycling to take a photo or two along the way.. (keeps the walk interesting for me)
Monday – Cycling 1 hour local off road track.
Tuesday – Weights work out and 20 min’s cardio.
Wednesday – Squash 45min session (local squash club).
Thursday – Weights work out and 20 mins cardio.
Friday – Cardio 1 hour at the gym or cycling.
Sat / Sun – Anything that involves getting out of the house and not sitting in someone elses..
I have got my diet based on a Bodybuilding cutting diet only more restricted as I am limited to the amount of exercise I can do and doubt I need so many calories as an athlete’s diet.. As and when I become fitter I will revise my diet to my needs and maintain a sensible weight loss by increasing my intake as my exercise extends.
Here it is.. (please feel free to comment but I am sticking to this one for now at least)
06:30
10g Glutamine
07:30
100g Oats, 50g Whey, 1 x Vitamin B, 1 x Multi Vitamin
10:00
50g Whey, 1 Banana, Apple
13:00
200g Poultry or Fish, 50g Rice or Pasta
15:00
50g Whey – 1 Banana, Apple
18:00
200g Steak, Poultry or Salmon, 50g Rice or pasta or a baked spud (medium)
After work out
50g Whey, 50g Vitargo,10g creatine, 10g glutamine, 1 x vitamin c
And as much green and leaf salad as I want with each meal…
This works out at around 2000 to 2300kcals a day dependant on option.
