About Me

I have come into 2012 with a strong desire to be more healthy and reduce my weight to something more acceptable for a man of my age and height. On the 1st of Jan 2012 at the age of 45 and height of 6ft 2in, I weighed in at 18st 2lbs (that's 256 lbs or 116kg). I have a pretty large frame and have always been able to carry a bit of excess baggage but I think its time to do something about it for my health and energy levels more than anything else. The experts suggest that for a man of my height and age I should be about 13.5 st but I have set myself a target of 15 st (210lbs or 95kg) - thats a planned loss of around 3 st (46lbs or 20kg) This BLOG is a record of my attempt to achieve this goal and I have made it public to help keep me motivated and on track. If you have any comments, thoughts or ideas and suggestions please feel free to leave me a message..

Post 26

Not too much news this week.

All going well with the diet and MonaVie program and feeling that the gym work is continuing to have an effect on my general health.

I rode my first motorcycle trial of the year on saturday and after a 5 mile walk with the dog in the morning and a rather muddy event in the afternoon i still felt like I had energy to spare (I even stayed after the event to do a little more riding - which makes a change for me as I am normally too tired and just want to get on my way home).

I have had a bit of a treat over the weekend with an evening in the pub with family and friends on friday (managed to keep to Vodka and slim line tonic) and on sunday I treated myself to a baked Camembert with bread.

All the same, that was supported by good exercise and nice healthy meals like steak and salad and lamb and vegetable stew.

I have managed to achieve a significant goal in that I have a couple of shirts that I bought a few years ago that I haven't been able to wear because they were so tight it felt like I was wearing a straight jacket. I tried them on yesterday and to my amazement they fit comfortably and I am looking forward to lunch with friends this weekend when I can wear one of them!

I hope that tomorrow will bring a reduction in weight that will mean that I am 15 stone something for the first time in some years - roll on tomorrow morning!
