Eight Days till my birthday.

Well it’s mid-week i just got back from swimming and i’m feeling refreshed, iv’e not really been thinking about my birthday much but it’s only just came to me that it’s only eight days away!  Wow i’m going to be twenty one … i can’t believe it, all them years flew by it seems.

It’s a good thing though i guess, turning twenty one will mean i am a man and i will have the rest of my life ahead of me.

 Plus there is even more good news, i lost another 4 pounds i think which is always good.

I will also get around to updating my photo’s on this site, so you will have them to look forward too.

It’s been some time

well i fell off the wagon since my last post which was months ago, i put all that weight back on that i lost and went back up to 15.7 stone (maybe even higher).  I don’t know if i posted anywhere on this site that at my heaviest i was 16 stone!  Still can’t believe it.

 But there is some good news to come from all this, i re-started my diet + i signed up to my local gym for the 3rd time (3rd time lucky lets hope) i have already been going a month and i recently remebered about this site, so i thought i would return tell everyone whats happened and continue where i fell off!

At the moment i weigh 14.3 stone and i intend to keep going, i think i am already doing a cracking job and i’m going to keep it up!  I can’t wait till i drop below the 14 stone mark!

Anyway’s i’m off to the gym so bye bye for now!

Day 9: Not enough support

I think another reason i keep failing diets is because the people around me don’t think i’m fat (being to nice) / people don’t take me seriously when i say i’m on a diet OR they generally take the piss out of me e.g. taunting me with junk food and asking if i want to eat foods that i can’t eat.  It really gets to me over time … but i’m still holding strong (atleast for now anyway).

 Today was one of them slow day’s you just want to end, i also didn’t feel very hungry today.

 Food Consumed:  Plenty Of Water / Pasta and mackeral

Excersise:  26 situp’s / pressup’s / tricep dip’s / went walking for 2 hours

 So i’m still plodding along blogging on a daily basis to keep my spirits up, my goal still seems a long way away! :(

Day 8: Weigh In No.1

So the day has finally come and guess what … i lost 11lbs.  Can you believe it??? I can’t!!!

I am over the moon and i feel great within just one week, i think i went about doing this weight loss thing the right way.  By sticking by a strict meal plan that only includes eating certain food / making sure i excersise everyday / updating my blog everyday / AND never ever, ever touching those scales until it is time.  I think that is a problem alot of people have, they over obses about their weight cause i know i did the first time i tried to diet and it ended up in failure cause i kept obsesing over my weight and how it was going up and down everyday.  I think the best thing people can do like i have is to only weigh there selfs in the morning on a set day.

I think this blog is really helping with my motivation, Well anyway i think iv’e posted this blog a little early today and havn’t had a chance to excerise or eat all of my meals or take my weekly profile pictures.

So I Will Update Later!

Food Consumed:  Plenty Of Water / Bran Flakes / Good Cuts of Beef, Mash Potato, Carrots, Cabbage

Excercise: 25 situp’s / pressup’s / tricep dip’s / short jog

UPDATE:  Took my profile pictures, my measurements and i saw a surprising difference which i’m very happy about + i ate my meal’s and excersised.

 So iv’e finsihed my first week … it was very hard but one of the many steps i’m going to have to take to become the person i want to be!!!

DAY 7: Dreading the weigh in…

Well i’m posting this at 1:30am … so i guess the weigh in will be when i wake up later today, kinda dreading it to be honest!  Hoping i will have lost a noticable bit of weight seeing as iv’e put so much effort in.

 Woke up a bit late again today so i had breakfast a bit late and skipped lunch (i know naughty of me) slowly pushing forward with my excerises by just adding one more rep of each excersise … think i will knock it up a notch on a weekly basis by starting to do weights in my regime etc.

 Food Consumed:  plenty of water / spicy chicken tagliatelle

 Excercise: 23 situp’s / pressup’s / tricep dip’s / short jog

Wish me luck guys!!!

I hope iv’e lost loads of weight.

Day 6: Really hungry

I got up far to late today … so i kind of skipped breakfast, so i waited an hour for lunch but then my girlfriend wanted to go to town so we did and i couldn’t find anything i could have eaten so i held on for dinner and only had my normal sized portion leaving myself very hungry.

 Kind of going to bed again late because i didn’t get up, BUT i’m only going to have 4 hours sleep so my pattern doesnt knock itself out of line again.

  Food Consumed:  plenty of water / chicken noodle soup with two pieces of brown bread (i know really bad for not eating)

 Excercise:  22 situp’s / pressup’s / tricep dip’s.

 dreading the weigh in … this will either make or break me, so i hope iv’e done well!

Day 4-5: Finally got some sleep

I only had a few hours sleep a couple of days ago hoping it would help with sleeping the next day which it did … i completly conked out, hense why i wasn’t able to post up a blog yesterday.

 Feeling a little bit better now after getting into a good sleeping pattern / my muscles are alot better also.

 Food Consumed: day 4-  Plenty of water / bran flakes / sandwich / beef stew …  day 5-  Plenty of water / porridge / Pasta / Chicken salad

Excercise: day 4- nothing … day5- 21 situp’s / pressup’s / tricep dip’s / went for an hour’s jog.

I feel alot better inside at the moment and i think i look a little better but i can’t say for sure until i get to thursday when i take my measurments / weight.

Day 3: Feeling the hunger

Today i have felt hungry all day … but i resisted the urge to snack on anything, i stuck to my set meals for the day.

 Still having sleep issues + couldn’t excersise again properly today because of straining myself on day 1.

 Food Consumed:  plenty of water / bowl of porridge / cold chicken pasta / hotpot

Excersise:  Only went for a short jog

Felt a little down today … but nothing serious, keeping my chin up!

Day 2: Got a little harder…

Was a bit harder today, i woke up with very achy muscles … i felt stiff as a board which meant i couldn’t excercise properly.

 Again i’m updating my blog the next day in the morning, still havn’t been able to get to sleep!

 Today i consumed:  plenty of water / bowl of bran flakes / salad / chicken, pasta, plum tomatoes

 Excercise:  i only went for a smal walk because that was all i was able to do

 Still trying to get my life on track and havn’t had great motivation for it yet, but i’m going to get there eventualy … hopefuly.

Day 1:

Was surprisingly not that hard, but i am having real trouble sleeping … i just can’t seem to turn off.

As you can see i’m updating my blog next day early morning … which is not healthy. (any tips for helping to get to sleep would be appriciated)

 Today i comsumed:  plenty of water / bowl of bran flakes / sandwich with a yogurt / vegtable stirfry

 I set my excercise benchmark today aswell: 20 situp’s / pressup’s / tricep dip’s / squats with my 8 stone girlfriend sitting on my shoulder’s / went for an hour’s walk.

 I’m really looking forward to losing this weight, i really hope i don’t side track!!!
