So this morning I felt kinda cheeky being pissed off at what flashed in front of me when I jumped on the scales. Stripped to my birthday suit (because flannel pj's weigh so much) the full extent of the task at hand flashed before me. I would publish the figure however given that I started this blog with the message that this wasn't all about weight loss I'm going to hide behind that mantra. In all seriousness I meant it when I said that, but I am focused on body fat and according to my fancy pants scales my body fat is 23.7% which isn't terrible, but there is room for improvement! So that's what I'm going to work on, reducing that figure and the weight from body fat which if my calculations are correct is 14.2 kgs (smart arses can work out the total weight) and report back fortnightly.
So full of determination, and a bit of horror, I headed off to a friends for brunch carrying with me porridge and eggs to make sure I stuck to my diet. All was going so well until mid way through cooking my scrambled egg whites the microwave caught fire! Black smoke billowing out at you is surely a sign from god to give it a rest and head off into town for eggs benedict & a latte! But I motored on and truthfully found it so hard to eat so much food in the morning. It got me thinking about how unbalanced my meals have been, even at what I would consider my physical best - diet coke for breakfast and maybe a cereal bar on the odd occasion. Trying to eat a bowl of porridge and 6 egg whites was such a task but I did it.
On the diet front I've not started day one very well, I didn't prepare my meals - 5 small ones a day, and I didn't plan my meals into my schedule. As a result didn't eat enough, and I felt lethargic and dragged my heels all the way to the gym. But tonight I prepared my meals for tomorrow to take to work so I have no excuses!
It was actually the thought of writing this blog that got me to the gym, and the thought of having to blog either a poor effort, or no effort at all, motivated me to train properly and push myself. I left the gym after training my chest and triceps struggling to put my seat belt on and my body shaking - the desired effect.
As well as facing the scales I did take some "before" pictures with the intent to post them here. I had this great notion that I could document my changes but that ain't going to happen. My reaction to the pictures......
"ooooohhhhhmyyyfuuuuuckingGODthoseareNOTgoingontheinternet!!"
In a high pitched squeal only dogs heard. Annnnnnnd DELETE!
Those pictures serve no purpose than to embarrass myself!
Ok so its late and this blog is somewhat rushed but just wanted to say thank you for the lovely comments I've received, I've been genuinely touched by the support x
