I've decided to loose my fat gut. It's not huge, but it's there and I don't think I've ever been less fit. I feel crap cause I'm so unfit and I've had enough. So my options are tuck into the sausage rolls and get morbidly obese or get on the treadmill. Gym and bakery are about equidistant from work, but I already have a gym membership so what the hey - it's to the gym for me.

Goal: Loose 10kg in 6 weeks.

Starting weight: 82.5kg

Stuff I did today:

Walked to & from work (1.7k each way) 3.4k. I do this pretty much every day so no real biggy there, but it's activity.

Went to gym for quick cardio session at lunchtime 30-35 minutes high intensity. Gym folks were surprised to see me I think. They had mentally painted a picture of me being removed from my house using a crane and a horse sling. Close but no cigar you bastards.

Followed up with Ashtunga yoga after work. Ashtunga is pretty brutal and I reckon I'm going to be in big pain tomorrow as both yoga and gym for the first time in ages is a pretty decent way to kick this off.

Objective for this week:

Get to the gym each work day, and see if I can fit in yoga #2 on wednesday after work also. Eat healthy. Avoid the open packet of mint slice biscuits downstairs. I can see it peering at me through tiny little dark chocolate eyes.

Food Diary:

You'll note that I'm not starving myself here. I'm just trying to eat healthy and try not to smash a few sly sausage rolls why nobody is looking. My big emphasis will be on cutting down to lighter meals at dinner time and more frequent, but healthier snacks during the day. Looking at it written down I see why the diet dudes recommend you do so. I had no idea I eat this much and this is me being good.

Breakfast: Sultana Bran (812kj), Skim Milk (229kj) & Stewed Apple (~250kj)
Morning Tea: Red Carmens Muesli Bar (769kj)
Lunch: Toasted homemade bread with a bit of ham, relish and a tiny bit of parmesan.
Afternoon Tea: Medium banana (goddamn I just cannot spell that word without resorting to spell checker) (355kj)
Afternoon Tea 2: Medium Carrot (great for munching and annoying co-workers) (~200kj) I got hungry at about 5pm and I knew I had to make it through yoga before I would get a chance to eat. So I eat.
Dinner: Tin of tuna in spring water (330kj) & bowl of homemade leek and potato soup.

So endeth the day 1.

Mood: Optimistic and full of soup.
