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 Sixty Nine


Sorry that I missed yesterday but I wasn’t feeling well and had (for me) an early night.

The day started well enough with sausage and egg muffins, followed by chilli bake for lunch. Unfortunately things went downhill in the afternoon when I got a stonking great headache and started feeling very queasy.

I was supposed to be having my final power plate lesson last night, but there was no way I could cope with that with my headache and nausea, so I cancelled and went home to have an early night in hopes of sleeping it off.

Dinner was a raspberry ripple protein shake and some wafer thin ham with a couple of Babybels, mainly because I needed to eat, rather than because I wanted to (fortunately the nausea had abated a little by then).  

Today’s exercise:  Walking to work only
Carb's Eaten: 24G
Exercising to: Various music
Weight Loss = 1 stone and 2 pounds
Inch Loss = 12.5 inches
Mood: Headachy and sick
