Second Post... Battlefields of thought

So I was going to post the other night when we had a blackout but I decided to sleep instead. I was going off on a bit of a rant but I can't be bothered to type it out again so lucky for you, you won't have to read it! Whoever you are, if anybody...

So my weight-loss program is going just how I expected, which is nowhere. Did well at the start of the week but I pigged out a little this weekend. Not as bad as usual mind but I was back on the Coke (a cola, not the drug). When I'm at the gym I'm quit happy to work but it's simply a matter of making myself go there. I still need to properly push myself though, I work hard until it gets uncomfortable and bring it back down again. I need get past that plateau and try a little harder.

I really need to resume cycling to work but that means getting up early when I go to bed so late! I don't know why but between the hours of 9pm-1am I can't sleep. I could quite easily fall asleep before and fairly well after but that little window is just impossible. Plus I really love my new car at the moment! Mazda 3 Sport with all the trimmings. See pic (if it works... typing this on my PC and I'm going to try and edit it after with a picture from my iPhone).








Also some bitch shot the windscreen of my chopper on BC2! Couldn't see shit! Sucks that nobody seems to be around anymore. Kind of feels like I'm losing my friends.








So I played some Top Golf this weekend, played a lot of Battlefield Bad Company 2 and washed the car. Also mowed the lawn for some extra sunshine time. I think when everyone is away next week I will sun myself outside. Not really comfortable doing it with my current physique. I want to start swimming though so I need to focus for the 9 weeks to get into a more comfortable shape.

So say we all.

Number 1

Kind of late to be blogging seeing as I have work in the morning but what the hell...

Just signed up for Blogger and bought the Blogpress app. I wanted to blog to encourage myself to be more honest and forthcoming about what's going on in my head and to encourage me to be more active so I have something to write about.

Currently my main goal in life is to lose about 2 stone. Should hopefully be pretty simple and it will be a good way to increase my self-control.

I started yesterday weighing in about 200/201 pounds. I'm hoping to lose 2-3 pounds a week for around 9 weeks.

Obviously I'm less concerned with my actual weight then I am with body fat. I've always been a little more densely built than most and I'm fairly well distributed. I prefer this to having just a gut but it does make me look pretty huge sometimes.

I'm open to advice but there isn't many people I know who I would listen to regarding this subject. I seem to know too many "experts".

I posted on facebook about it and got many a stupid reply. I was kind of hoping for encouragement but only got it from 2 people, one of who I barely know.

I will document my progress with pictures and more as I go. I plan on weighing in every Saturday and have a check every Wednesday to see if the weight is staying off. I will be weighing empty each time to ensure it's a fair test!

I am actually feeling hungry right now which can't be a good sign… think I may try and sleep. If not I'll watch some more Battlestar Galactica. Expect a post about that soon!

So say we all.
