Ha! well on April 25 I'll be 39 and this morning for some sadomasochist reason I changed the scales from kilos (which mean almost nothing to me emotionally) to stones and pounds. I am the great total of 12STONE and 10POUNDS unbelievable. Of course I feel lazy and run down! the amazing thing is I don't eat as much chocolate as I did I don't drink as much as I used to and so if my pleasures are gone, why is it RIGHT that I should be soooo DAMN FAT?
Ok so here's the plan, use this blog to help me keep motivated to losing weight.
Even if noone actually reads it I KNOW it's out there...
I will post some terrible FAT photo's of my self. and hopefully as time goes on some better ones...
Then I was thinking, why not add my FAT DOG too! seeing as it is my fault she has got FAT let's hope my movement will help her to get back in shape! weight today of FAT DOG is 40K or 6stone 4lb!! I mean she is a big boned dog but she has a tummy on her that puts me to shame!
The problem isn't what we eat so much as the fact we all lead totally sedentary lifestyles. I teach from 9am to 9pm with perhaps a 2 hour break to eat and since I took the teaching job in the morning the dogs don't walk with me every day to work like they used to so she spends four days out of seven sleeping in her kennel. and as for me, like a fat lardy lorrydriver I spend all my days sitting on my flabby arse and it just gets bigger and wobblier as I do less and less.
Sop here's the plan; analyze what I do and even more important DON'T do everyday to maximise my energy consumption and minimise energy intake!
Include dogs in my daily exercise routine more frequently.
try to find ways to exercise while sitting down and teaching, like tummy clenches or buttock clenches ( my students might think I've got wind, but hey, that's a small price to pay!)
I'm gonna measure our girths too and once a week post the measurements to track progress!
The other most important reason for doing this is because I'd love to get pregnant, and being overweight can have negative effects on your fertility, as well as my self-esteem. The fact I'm married now shouldn't be an excuse to slide down the slippery slope of chubbiness.
fingers crossed!
