Okay, I'm just going to come right out and say it:
I'm fatter now than when I started this whole thing.
Between September and December 2009, I went from 260 to 238, getting down to 17 stone for the first time in ages. then I ended up putting a bit back on. Then I moved to Slane, and due to laziness of having to cook for myself, and some personal issues with my grandfather being in such a bad way, I ended up at around 255. So started losing weight again and got down to 244. Was finally hitting my stride and losing weight with pretty minimal effort, especially I was a lot more strict with food.
Then, got the information that I was going to be put on a 3 day work week after Christmas, and therefore, would have to move home. This hit me pretty hard. I figured, with a 3 day work week, at least I'd be able to hit the gym more. But I ended up not doing any 3 day weeks at all due to us getting a bit busier. So working full time again, and being at home, fell back into my old laziness routine and eating pure sh*te. Weighed myself last week. 270. The heaviest I've ever been.
So, I've been eating healthier for the past week or so. Haven't rejoined the gym yet, but just back from a 13km cycle, hopefully the first of many. I'll go to the gym at weekends, but during the week is going to be the hardest. Because I collect and drop home my workmate, it means I get home a fair bit later than I used to. Thinking maybe cycling or walking in the evenings instead. I'd love to go to the gym in the mornings but the one I normally go to doesn't open early enough. The only other one is a sh*t gym which, if I joined, would mean I could go some mornings, but would make me less likely to go on weekends because it's a fair bit further away.
Anyway, hopefully first of many posts here over the next few months. Haven't set myself a target yet. I'd love to say I lost 100lbs, but thatd make me just over 12 stone, which given muscle weight I'll likely put on, and the fact I'm 6th, is probably unreachable. Once I'm under 200lbs by this time next year, I'll be happy enough.
Mal: Appears we got here just in the nick of time. What does that make us?
Zoë: Big damn heroes, sir.
Mal: Ain't we just.
