I Lose Part 302

I’m fat, I wasn’t always fat. I can remember before the so called puppy fat days of adolesence that I was extremely skinny but having been told it was puppy fat and despite still doing 25 mile hikes as routine and being as active as ever, I put on weight, I didn’t lose it  and get a trim figure back until I was 19 but a few years later found football and binge drinking and I never looked back. Well I couldn’t, my belly was too big.

By the time I was 27 I was 17 stone, yeah I know, what the hell happened there, working from home, no real social life apart from football, it digs its heels in, so fell in love – supposedly, had the dream, stopped smoking, sorted finances out and lost over 4 stone in several months. I did run the updates from a domain ilose.co.uk which can be reread here.

If you read that link you’d know I ended up 12 stone 8lbs, in actual fact in August of 2007 I achieved 12 stone 4lbs and that is my current target and more as I’m getting off my fat lardy arse and getting down the gym. Reading Twitter you’ll see I joined three times in the last year but never actually went, so I did things the right way round this time, bought the running shoes first, as that’s what I enjoy, jogging but I think that machine will make me do more than jog.

I’m currently 13 stone 3lbs, I would like to be and I am going to be at least 12 stone by the end of August, I know it gets harder but as it’s been a while I’m hoping it’s achieveable. I’m hoping to run twice a day, an hour or more each morning and night, I did start smoking again so that may hamper the initial efforts. However I will persevere.

I feel better about myself this week, I’m unsure why. Perhaps it’s because the house is almost sold – had the offer, that I’m almost back on top money wise, some to go but if I can keep the sales coming over the next three weeks, I will be back on top just need to stay on top so while everything is going on in the background, I thought I’d get focused on something and gym was the plan, I have a lot of time on my own at the moment and I flat refuse to return to the days of sitting in front of the pc gaining weight again.

So from tomorrow it begins, from previous experience I should lose 5lbs this week and hit around 12.12 / 12.13, thereafter around 3lbs a week, so within a fortnight should be down to a comfortable with afternoon meal, 12st 10lbs, if I’m hovering around that then I’ll be happier. Then I’ll know at end of August if my aim of being 12 stone is possible, it’s a long month, it isn’t February nor June so I’ve chosen well I think. Wish me luck!! Ciao. (I’m not a toff, they do say that in Romania – then again, maybe Romanian toffs say it!?!)
