Days 7 and 8

I forgot to post yd, so I'll speak about both days today. Yd wasnt very good. I had a banana for breakfast, then a tuna salad for lunch and a fruit as a snack. When i got home i made a wrap out of some leftover chicken, but then tried some of the tuna pasta my mum made....and by try I mean a small bowl :( . At least i didn't have cheese.

I had to go to the doctor and by the time i got home i was too tired to train. Another day without working out, not good.

Today i woke up determined to turn the tide. Banana for breakfast, chicken for lunch, an orange as a snack. Thats all i had at work, plus a glass of green tea, 1 sugar. When I got home I made wraps using chicken, mushrooms, orange peppers, mexican sauce and salsa. Made enugh for 3 days.

I also bought brown pasta to eventually make some tuna pasta as i've been having cravings for it. I also cheated with half a glass of coke. Should buy diet as a substitute for when I'm craving

Day 6

Woke up and cheated :( . 2 pastries and 1 sausage roll. Well it's the weekend. Now that I think about it if I had to cheat i'd rather have cheated with something else, but anyway. I work with one simple rule...if you cheat,you have to make up for it with workouts.

So in the afternoon I went for my 25 min jog, in the Sun to punish myself, followed by a workout. Aside from the bad breakfast I had a fruit lunch ; 1 banana and 1 peach. For dinner I made these little boats made out of cucumber skins, filled with chicken. The chicken was cooked with mushrooms, red peppers, a bit of cumin, lemon juice and tomatoes. Made enough for work too so should be ok next week.

Day 5

Even though I'm on a 'diet', I couldn't shun away from Saturday morning english breakfast. 4 sausages, 2 eggs and toast. Yes I know, naughty naughty, but I figure if I don't have my cheat every once in a while I'll just cheat worse later.

Since I was feeling a bit guilty, lunch was a chicken salad, very healthy. Always drinking water

In the afternoon I did my 20 mins jogging and workout. Felt better after todays rest, especially with the squats. After the workout I had a very simple but balanced dinner. One can of tuna, one tomato and a peach for desert.

Its 9.30 now and I'm not even peckish!! :D

Day 4

Ok so yesterday evening after getting home i went for a 30min jog/walk, after which i did some upper and lower body exercises. Afterwards i made wraps again and made enough to take one with me to work for lunch today. I crashed the rest of the evening.

Today i had a peach for breakfast. Then the wrap, salad and tuna for lunch. Didnt drink enough water though. Not exercising tonight as an off day. Cheated with some pasta and chocolate when i got home.

Will resume tomorrow. Sometimes i feel thinner. Sometimes i dont.

Day 3

Woke up feeling good this morning. Aside from a slight cheat with a glass of milk last night I think yesterday went well. This morning I had an orange for breakfast at work, then a green salad at lunch. Wish I had it with tuna but I didnt have any with me, so that's a pity. Need to make breakfast slightly bigger I think.

I also did some light exercise this morning as I'll probably have a problem trying to do it tonight. Will have to see what I manage.

Getting hunger cravings....gonna have an apple and a glass of Water. A BIG glass of water.

Evening

After work and an errand i managed to fit in an hour of workout time. Combination of jogging and general exercises. Followed by chicken wraps with mexican flsvour, peppers and onion. Cheated a bit with some cheese.....

Feel demolished now. Time to sleep and recharge

Grapefruit :)

Add half a grapefruit as a snack :) .

Lunch is served...

Thanks to a very devoted gf I got the supplies I needed to make salads for the rest of the week. Just had a Salad with 1 can of tuna, lettuce, tomatoes, red pepper, cucumber and a bit of balsamic vinegar. This should hold me till my next snack at 3.30.

All is well so far :)

Day 2

Started the morning well. 3 sets of upper body exercises. Not much but a good start. Took 2 oranges to work for snacks and 3 cans of tuna to make some form of lunch. Was planning on buying veg on the way but didn't find any. That's going to be a problem.

Need to fit in more exercise after work. Anyone has any ideas for exercise DURING work? that would be great but in the summer months its not very work friendly, especially to the other workers.

Day 1

Started off with some jogging around town. 30mins or so. Following that i did some basic upper body exercises around the chest, biceps and shoulders. Another. 20 mins. Went out had a small plate of muscles and some wine. Need to ge the eating habits in order. Challenge is gonna be eating well at work, and then holding back at dinner. Will check in tomorrow...

Welcome

Welcome to my blog.

Here's the situation. 24 years old, 84kg, approx 10kg overweight. Disgrace.

I'm setting up this blog to keep tabs on what I'm calling my comeback. A comeback simply because I was an athlete once, nothing spectacular but I was fit and active. A degree and 3 years later I'm a couch potato with half the enthusiasm for the day I used to have.

This afternoon I decided I had enough. Time-wise there's nothing stopping me from getting back in shape, no more excuses about studies and obligations. My only obligation now is to do this for myself. I'm setting a goal of fit by end of summer. If you want specifics, I want to drop down to 78kg by end of July, with the trim that comes with it.

There's no playing around this time. No quick fix diets and false promises. I'm taking on a brute force approach where i'll basically cram in all the training I can. My daily goal is simple....get home exhausted. I'll figure out the exact routines and whatever as I go along, I've done it all before anyway.

If there's anyone out there in the same situation that you've been dying to get off your ass and get back to your former shape, I'd love the online company. I'll be posting everything here, so if I slack off, you'll know about it. If I eat junk food, you'll know about it. And I expect you to give me hell for it.

As I said, there's no mucking around with this one. This blog is gonna be plain and simple, road to comeback 2011.

Hope I make it......
