So this is my new diet and fitness blog. The reasoning behind it is simple. I’m forty five years old, incredibly overweight and even more unfit. Having moved to working at home three days a week, my already sedentary lifestyle has become almost comatose. Sitting at the computer, moving only to visit the toilet or make a cup of tea does not make for a healthy lifestyle, especially when the only other exercise I now get (having stopped working in the pub where at least I was walking a lot) is the stroll to and from the bus stop on work days. It is abundantly clear that changes need to be made before I either turn into one of those people in the freaky dieting shows on the telly or die of some nasty weight/unfitness related illness.

To this end I have joined a gym to improve my fitness and am about to embark on the latest attempt to lose weight through a new eating regime (I don’t want to say the ‘D’ word as I think it’s rather negative). As I chronicle my journey to greater fitness, better health and weight loss there will be daily posts as I think this will help to keep me focussed and hopefully help me to stick to the plan during the bad times I know lie ahead. I intend it to be honest as I need to acknowledge my weaknesses and fails as well as my good progress, which could be painful, but will hopefully, eventually be cathartic and helpful.

Day Fifty Nine


Late again due to dashing off to a bonfire party last night. Far too excited at the idea of blowing up stuff to blog.

Nothing much to report yesterday really. Breakfast was a raspberry ripple shake, lunch/tea was bacon, scrambled eggs, mushrooms and tomatoes and late night food was a lovely shish and doner kebab due to the need to get my food intake up.

I had one trebor mint during the fireworks, and will admit to having had one mini sausage roll (which I haven’t logged as I can’t work out the carbs) along with a cup of tea after the event. Once again I finished just over the 30 grams, but it’s liveable with.  

Today’s exercise:  Driving and standing watching fireworks/dodging the sparks
Carb's Eaten: 30.4G
Exercising to: Fabulous firework music courtesy of Mrs H3
