No gym this morning or at lunch due to other commitments (and the lack of buses into town at shit o clock!)
Did the Davina dvd when I got home instead; the boxing section. It was quite fun but nowhere near as hardcore as the Pump one. My legs are killing me!

Back on the Straight and Narrow... Tuesday 2010-01-12

Ok so since about November time, this blog, and my motivation, have kind of gone out the window. I've done very badly at sticking to a regular gym/exercise routine, and my diet has been pretty shocking too.

Now I need to sort my shit out and get back to where I was, only better. I've put on weight and inches in the usual places, and that needs to go.

So I'm starting again with it all. I was going to wait until the weekend to do a starting weigh-in etc, but I figured I may as well just do it now. It's not going to be pretty...

Tuesday 12 January 2010

Weight 146lbs (66kilos)
Waist at navel 34.5" (87.6cm)
Waist 2" below navel 37" (93.9cm)
Hips 38" (96.5cm)

I'm only measuring my waist and hips, because I know that's where the weight is, and that's the only place I'm interested in seeing results. Plus it is far too cold right now to be taking clothes off to take measurements elsewhere!

So here is the plan:

• eat more fruit and vege
• cut out junk food
• cut down on Coke/fizzy drinks (I know if I cut them out completely I'll just fail)
• plan meals rather than just eating whatever happens to be handy when I'm hungry
• give away all the biscuits and sweets left over from xmas
• go to the gym/exercise at least 3 times per week
• repeat weigh-in and measurements every Tuesday or thereabouts

I think if I can cut back on all the crap I've been eating, and just generally be more active, it shouldn't take long to get back to where I was before I fell off the path last time; then I can start working on getting to where I want to be, which is about a stone lighter than I am right now!

This evening I decided to ease myself back into the old exercise regime by doing a Davina McCall dvd. I did the "pump" section and I've a feeling I'll be a bit achey in the morning. I do miss that ache though!  With the weather at the moment it's a bit tricky to get to the gym before work, and I've had a pretty bad cough/cold any way so don't want to spread my germs. Will continue to work out from home until I'm healthy.
