Week 1 - Off to a good start

 I had a pretty good week for the first week. I didn't deviate from the supplied Lite 'n' Easy meal's at all. I did have a few alcoholic drinks over the weekend but kept to the low carb/cal beer and some burbon with Coke Zero and tried not to go to overbored.

I almost lost the plot on Saturday. Being valentines day I was a bit down (i'm single at the moment). To top things off I found out the girl I am keen on had received a big bunch of flowers from someone else (but that's a whole other story).

I was feeling down but decided instead of crashing out and ordering a pizza to jump on the cross trainer for a hour of cardio. I felt fantastic after that.

I had planned to try for 1-2 hours of Cardio a day, 5 days a week but haven't managed that. Over the week I think I managed 1 hour, 3 times. Hopefully I can pick that up a bit for week 2.

I jumped on the scales first thing this morning and was absolutely wrapped, 4kg for week 1, fantastic result - it was a real boost.

I had a quiet day work wise today so took myself for a 1.5hr walk this morning to kick off week 2.

Well on track!

Time to get into action - Kick off!

Well now that that christmas/new year's holidays have come to an end I've decided it's time to get myself sorted out. I've always been a pretty big bloke, a few years back i topped the scales at around 175kg. With some hard work and determination I managed to lose 40KG over a period of about 9 months. I felt great at the time and the weight loss had given me confidence in myself that I had never had before. Since then i've put weight on and lost it again a couple of times and at best got myself down to 135kg.


The last time I jumped on the scales was mid November 2008 and I was sitting on 135kg. I was supprised this morning when I jumped on the scales again and got a reading of 145kg.

So my plan is to loose 25-30kg over the next 4-5 months. How? well when I shed the weight a few years back I did it by using Lite 'n Easy (for non-australians this is a dietry/meal service where all meals are prepared and deliverd weekly, controlling calorie intake to 1500 per day). Last time round diet alone was enough to shed the weight, this time I intend to  do 1-2 hours of cardio exercise each day in addition to the Lite 'n Easy meals, i'm a lot more active now so don't see this as being to over the top.

Anyway, see how I go, will keep you posted!
