Health and fitness (non) update


I’ve been debating for a while about whether I should post about this. Mainly because if I don’t keep it up you’d all moan at me about how I’m not keeping it up, haha.
Anyway, I’ve decided to bite the bullet and tell you that this morning I weighed 16st 4lbs (228lbs). I’m not going to give it to you in kilos, you can dig out your calculators and do it yourselves, you lazy swines. I’ve not been walking or cycling for a fortnight, but I have been trying to cut down on my calorie intake.
Instead of buying a full English breakfast or having a cheeseburger and chips for lunch, I’ve been buying a jacket potato with cottage cheese. And although I used to take a reasonably healthy packed lunch of hardboiled egg, potato salad, coleslaw, carrot, cucumber and a piece of cheese, I’m now taking a hardboiled egg, some carrot and an apple.
Of course the evening meals still need to be worked on….
A couple of weeks ago I weighed myself at 16st 9, but I can’t remember if I was fully dressed and just testing the new scales at the time!
Anyway, if I do decide that my weight is coming down steadily, I’ll get one of those corny trackers to put on the site so you can all see how ‘m doing. No idea what my target weight will be, let’s just say I want to feel more confident by getting thinner. If I do get a tracker I’ll set the start weight at 228, so that’s my official “I’m now on a diet” weight.
It’s a perfect day for cycling or walking today, but I’m off to help my parents dig their garden instead, so that’ll be today’s exercise.

    Good luck with the weight loss – it’ll be hard work but worth it in the end. I can really recommend Matt Roberts exercise books. I have his “Fitness for Life” and I swear by his 6-week beach body exercise programme!!
    By the way, I got here via Michele’s meet&greet.

    Hi Dan! thanks for your comments at my blog. I like your blog, and I just adore all things British.
    Good luck with the diet. You’re way ahead of my husband, he’s happy if he stays around 275! lbs, that is!
