Day 6 Sunday 29 January 2012

Ok well i had 2 yoghurts for my breakfast and some fruit

me and yvonne and daniel went for a drive to carlow today i think it was 96km from my door to the town of carlow , we then went out to a carvery , where i usually have a dinner and then desert but today i cut out the desert so that was a small change , it hasnt stopped raining today so that doesnt help.

diet today wasn't to bad , i was in my parents house and my mam offered desert as they had just had their dinner , but i smiled and said nope :)

pretty boring day , i stood on the scales this morning and i reckon i was 4lbs lighter , but maybe i was wrong , tuesday's weigh in will show me

Day 5 Saturday 27th January 2012

ok well i woke up today and had breaky yayyyy , i then went up to clear out my garden in my house that i rent out , my last tenants left it like a tip , not surprising as they were settled travellers ( didnt know at the start ) then i watched Liverpool beat the manc scum yayyyyy then i went back up to do some more work till 5 , my cocsic ( lower back ) is killing me i have to sit on my side to aleviate the pain

my diet was spot on today with me eating 4 pieces of fruit and eating 61/63 pro-points , ive had 2 cups of tea today and that is my only liquid intake , so i realise i slipping with my water consumption , on a plus side i used to drink 2 or 3 cans of diet coke a day but since tuesday i havn't had any :) even tho its 0 pro-points , its not good for your teeth or your insides

im chilling now relaxing as the gf is out on her work leaving do ( starts a new better job in the hermitage hospital on wed ) so im babysitting my little man daniel :) , its 9.49pm now and he's in bed and im watching the graham norton show , i must say after the work today i can't wait to go to bed , im in the middle of reading " The Idiot Abroad travel diary of Karl Pilkington " and i have to say im loving it , ive never been a reader , this being my 2nd book , the first was " a blokes guide to fatherhood "

anyway till tommorow , i hope next week to be posting weight achievments and measurement changes and exercise regime

be good

Day 4 Friday 27th January 2012

ok well i got up extra early to have my breakfast only to find the skimmed milk sour and lumpy and the date on the carton says Feb 4th and its been in the fridge ( that ever happen to anyone ?? )

my day was pretty normal other than that , i had 22 pro-points at 8pm last night and then i was meeting my boss about a new business venture and we looked at a premises in Phibsboro and then went the porterhouse north pub to have a drink and chat some more , however i had food and not a great choice i had chunky chips and a big burger , it was gorgeous but i felt like crap afterwards with myself because i should have said no , other than that i have been ok all week , well since tuesday

i had a litre of water today , i need to keep that in my mind and keep drinking water as it holds hunger at bay

till tommorow

Day 3 Thursday 26th January 2012

Well today didn't start great , i slept it in and had to drop my son off at his grandmothers so i was rushing , i did have my lunch with me which was something i suppose ( need to have my shit more organised in future )
today i had a whopping 7 slices of bread ( seriously need to change this as its not good at all ) , i joined a gym last week with the gf as we bring the little lad swimming once a week and it costs us €12 between us each time , so over a year thats like €600 so the gym had a dual membership for €500 so it seems like a no-brainer , we get to go the gym as often as we like and bring the little lad swimming all for €500 a year ( yay )

I've had a problem with my back for a few years , combination of bad posture , weight , height , it gives me alot of pain somedays ( well most days , its just tolerable some days ) so i went and had an MRI done on my back by my gf's job ( she's a Radiographer ) so it was free :) ( result ) and it shows i have 2 discs slightly pushing into my spinal chord which is giving me the pains , so they suggested diet , anti-inflamatories , exercise , and see how i am in a few weeks , and failing that ive to go see an orthopedic surgeon for more info on whats needed ( hopefully it won't get that far )

so at this min , im trying to get my house which i rent out ready for new tenants as my last ones wrecked my house ( don't ask ) so this week my evenings are tied to that , but next week i will be hitting the gym on my lunch breaks , as i get an hour and the gym is 5 mins away so id get a decent 50 mins under my belt , as i dont want all my evenings consumed by the gym as me and the gf need ( us ) time and to unwind etc

so today i was a little piglet i ate 4 over my 63 pro-points , but im gonna use them 4 off my 49 weeklys :)

i also had 2 litres of water today and peeing like a racehourse

until tommorow be good

Day 2 Wednesday 25th January 2012

Ok well today i had breakfast , which i usually don't , i had 2 weetabix and 1/4 litre of skimmed milk so that was nice , my problem is im allowed 63 pro-points a day and id find it hard to eat all them if i was eating 100 % healthy , as veg is free , fruit aswell so im gonna have to think this through over the next few days , do i eat big dinners ? or 5 smallish ones ?? also my other problem was that i wasn't drinking enough water , actually wasn't drinking any , so ive started to rectify that today starting with a 2 litre bottle which im nearly finished :)

Breakfast

2 x Weetabix & 250ml of Skimmed milk ( 5 )

Mid Morning

1 x Apple ( 0 )

Lunch

4 x Bread Slice ( 8 )
5 x Slices of Ham ( 5 )
50g of Low Low Grated Cheese ( 4 )

Mid Afternoon

2 x King Crisps 25g bag ( 8 ) ( i genuinely was trying to just use up points )

Dinner

4 x Chicken Fajitas with onions , peppers , mushrooms , Cheese ( 32 )


My Dinner was soooo Yummy , it could have been a healthier day but i hope to clean it up , i ate 62 of my 63 pro-points so alls good and 3 litres of water :)

Day 1 Tuesday 24th January 2012

About me , Well im 31 Male and 6"2 in height and later on this evening i will know my starting weight as im back at Weight Watchers ( Cringe ) , I have a gf ( Yvonne ) and 1 year old son ( Daniel ) who are my life , I work as an accounts clerk for a building company for the past 12 years and sit on my ass all day in work and then i go home and sit on my ass all eveing and doss on the laptop or watch tv.
I know this isn't good and im gonna start to change , i realise it won't all happen straight away , but if i implement little things slowly but gradually then i hope i can find some long lasting weightloss and health.
I also love music and play in a acoustic cover band covering anything from stevie wonder to train to the beatles , we are just a 3 piece and play around dublin mostly.

So im gonna post every Tuesday Evening my weight loss or gain in Weight Watchers and also my body measurements as i bought a myotape measure tape , will post picture later , and also pictures of my progress with my face blurred out obviously :) , wish me luck


Here's the measure tape which arrived this morning , it has a spring tension so when you wrap around the area you want to measure it tighten's to the same tension everytime , because lets face it we always pull measure tapes tighter so this way its the same everytime :)

Ok so i weighed in tonight and i was 21st 5lbs or 299lbs and that starts to drop from here on in :) , ive been asked to be a groomsman for my brother at his wedding on July 28th this year so thats 7 months to drop hopefully 5 stone or there abouts


Here's my pictures taken tonight 24th January 2012

Right now for my measurements

Neck = 17"
Right Bicep = 16"
Waist ( around bellybutton ) = 51.25"
Right Calf = 19"

 Can't believe ive posted these , ah well it has to be done
These numbers will only go down from here , till tommorow
