Week Four

Four weeks in, I've set some goals to aim for, a family get together, a holiday and resuming a sport I used to do.  I'm really looking forward to achieving them.

Weight loss total = 11lbs

Week Two

So I've been to the gym 3 times this week, and feeling very unfit.

This is what I've been up to:

Static bike for 10 mins at level 5
Rower for 10 mins (phew - difficult)
Medicine Ball 10 squats, 10 above head and 10 twists
Swimming 20 mins

enough for me........


Week One

Just getting to grips with the thought of doing something for me - although exercising sounds more like torture that a treat for me at the moment.  More of that later

Getting a handle on what I'm eating is the order of the day.

Trainer says:
More protein - chicken and fish mainly.  Or some Quorn (bleerch - not going there yet!)
More fruit and veg (especially veg)
Less carbs and starch

Sounds easy?  Its the chocolate and cheese that will cause me problems, (not together, although ready salted crisps and chocolate have been a favourite of mine) and also the fact that I'm always eating on the run between jobs, grabbing nice but very unhealthy snacks from the garage and Tesco express.  This is where Project Me - Food starts - I need to plan my meals so I'm not left high and dry with just a block of cheese for company........
