Welcome to my blog…
Posted at 13:26 in Uncategorised
I have decided it would be a good idea to keep a blog of my diet and fitness adventures, even though I will no doubt be the only person reading, I figure it’s good to have something down in writing to keep me inspired during those difficult moments of wanting to eat the entire contents of the fridge!
Yet again I started the new year wanting to lose weight. This is a pattern I have followed for the last 5 years or more. I start off the new year eating sensibly, exercising well and come the end of the year, I am back to square one.
Last year I lost over 2 stones, looked great and felt great, yet here I am again in the same boat. So, I have decided 2009 is the year I am going to break the chain and stick at something.
I’m not really restricting myself a great deal, I am only cutting calories by about 150-200 a day but am ensuring I am eating the right kinds of foods – I lost weight last year eating around 1800 calories so I know this works.
I went to the gym and did a full body weight workout. Started off with 5 minutes cycling to warm up, before starting my weights.
