Okay, so this is day one on the road to a new me.
My plan is to limit my calorie intake to around 1500 or less on Sunday, Monday and Wednesday, 600 or less on Tuesday and Thursday. Friday and Saturday will also be around 1500 (excluding alcohol).
I'll be at the gym 2 nights a week (Tuesday and Thursday) doing around 30 minutes running on the treadmill (two lots of 15 minutes) and around 30 minutes working out on the weights machines.
With this plan I have no idea how long it's likely to take me to get to my goal (me minus 20lbs). I also know that muscle weighs more than fat so I'll not only be judging this on weight, but also on physical appearance, waist size, BMI and the old flabby gut test. Let's just take it as it comes.
Now, I'm coming to this as a 37 year old who drinks more than he should, is a fast food fan (Domino's being a favourite), not very active and not used to getting my five a day.
Using the fancy machine at work this morning I was 12st 9lbs (or 177lbs), BMI 26.9, body fat 20.3% and BP was "pre-high" whatever that means.
Bring it on...
