Yesterday I went for a run and an indoor bike ride, probably did about 500 calories, not bad considering how unfit i am, and it all adds up. I had to go out for dinner in the night though, so that cancels it out, but just had Chicken in Thai sauce with rice, so not the worst meal i could have eaten.

Today it is still before midday, but already i have been for a run and a bike, and will have Weetbix soon for lunch, so that should stop me eating chocolate for the afternoon, I may even try to sneak in another run before dinner. Now that i have hit 89 kg, I have renewed vigor to reach 86 at least.

Today i had a very light breakfast, a muffin and some “up n go” milk breakfast drink, kind of ruined it with 2 pies for lunch, but at least I didn’t have any coke, or lemonade with it, I usually would have, so still managing to cut my usual calorie intakes. For dinner I just had some mushroom Tortellini, so even though it is pasta, it will burn fast if I exercise, and I had a small portion.

I burned 150 cals on the bike after dinner and then went straight to the treadmill and did 140 cals. So 290 cals all up, that is ok, as i am very unfit at the moment. I don’t feel i am losing any weight though, but hasn’t been long since I started, so have to stop thinking about that. I am definitely making sure i stay off the scales until my weekly check up.

Just 6 months ago I was 87kg. So something has to be done.

Part of the reason I have gained the weight is due to traveling to Thailand for a month and eating too much, as you do on holiday, but usually after i return from holidays I usually lose the extra kg’s pretty quickly, this time I have even added another kg.

So my target will be to lose 5kg for now, back down to 87kg, and then i will reassess after that.

In the next week i will comment on what i am eating, and how much exercise I do. At the end of each week i will update my new weight which will be done in the mornings.

The main things i need to do to lose the weight are:
1- cut my dinner portions
2- cut my chocolate intake by half and replace it with fruits, mainly mandarins.
3- exercise more
4- drink more water

I do tend to eat very bad dinners, namely pizza, butter chicken, kebabs, fried chicken etc, but will keep that pleasure as want to lose weight but not my quality of life
