day 0

Ok, day 0...starting tomorrow I've decided I'm going to get fit... not that I'm exactly out of shape at the moment, it's just I've kind of half-arsed it for about 6 years now.  I've improved, then slacked off...eaten well, then eaten crap.


So, as of tomorrow I'm back on the weights, back on the running and back on healthy food.


This past weekend I've known it's coming so I've allowed myself to go a bit crazy with the junk:

Friday night - curry with a starter
Saturday night - curry with 1 and a half starters :/
Sunday night - Pizza express pizza
Today for lunch - McDonalds feast
From now on its all chicken, brown pasta, as little bread as I can limit myself to, steak, gammon (no fish - I can't stand it) maybe throw in a few protein shakes as well if I think I'm working hard enough to handle the extra calories.


So the aim of this blog is to hold myself accountable really.


I'll try to update with my progress and photos etc...that way (assuming anyone else reads this) I've got witnesses who can mock me about being lazy and fat.  And even if I'm the only person who ever looks at this, at least I'm giving myself an honest insight into what I actually eat and how much exercise I actually do.


So - the first picture - the ridiculous lunch I had today!  I don't even wanna know how many calories are in it.

As of tomorrow it's healthy eating, weights Tues/Fri/Sun, Taekwondo Mon/Thurs/Sat and I'll try and throw in a few runs on Wednesdays and Sundays.  ( I have a kind of hope of working my way up to do a marathon in some time, and I also wanna do a triathlon at some point.  Also, next January an there's event called the Tough Guy I think it would be awesome to have a go at).


So let's see how it goes; I want to look back in a years time and not recognize the pictures of me!...
