19^th January 2015

 2015 Starting weight: 268lbs

 Today’s weight:       265lbs

 Loss:                          3lbs

So, tis my first weigh in of the “new start” and I’ve managed to drop 3lbs. It’s a slower start that I had hoped for but the numbers are heading in the right direction so can’t complain too much. I have managed to sort out the eating side of things, but I struggled to motivate myself to do much exercise. I have my calorie intake down to around 1500-1800 a day, with maybe one day straying over 2000 every now & then. Diet mainly consists meal replacement shakes for breakfast & lunch, with meat & veg for dinner. Snacks mainly consist of fruit & cereal bars.

What I need to kick-start is getting out and getting active. I find it hard to motivate myself which is why I tagged along to a spinning class last week with a work colleague. Now spinning isn’t something I would normally consider but it was actually not as heart attack inducing as I thought/feared it would be…I’m even going back again this week! I also have an evening of wrestling training and a badminton session to squeeze in so I am hoping these will lead to a bigger loss at next weigh in. I want to be 260lbs or lower, and will probably be very annoyed with myself if I am not.

I’m pleased to see that Jordan is also back at it and recording losses. Here’s hoping we can recreate the magic of 2013…and keep it going this time too.

So, until next week #FightTheFat
