Not much progress
So I haven’t come very far, I have only myself to blame.
Should I try again or try a different strategy, most of the mistakes I’ve made and tried to fix I’ve done on my own without the intervention of others. I doubt that this is going to be any different.
I have thought about getting a gym buddy or someone to help me with food (my biggest problem) but this thought faded quickly. I just don’t like the idea of anyone helping me or having someone to rely on…or is it rely on me.
My main moment of weakness is dinner, I come home after work and desperately hungry and just start eating food. I have noticed a pattern though and this may come and no surprise, the worse my sleep the worse my eating. This morning I got up late and skipped breakfast, ate too much for lunch. The only upside is that I didn’t get hungry in the afternoon like I normally do.
I think that I’ll get a soup for dinner as this should tide me over until I have to go to sleep.

My New Body
Today is the day that I start, I have been lazy for too long and I have made all the excuses in the world but it has to start sometime and now is better than any time before and anytime to come.
- I no longer sleep well
- I am loosing concentration at work
- My eating patterns are unstable
- I cannot control what I eat
- Cravings are driving me crazy
- I’m in danger or not fitting into suits
- My immune systems isn’t as strong as it used to be
- I am out of breath more often
- Constant headaches
I should have done this years ago when I tried the gym workouts but couldn’t stick with it and I’m going to try again. I have to get a food right otherwise none of it is going to work, I have make a habit of exercise otherwise it is in vain.
Measurements
- Weight: 92 Kg
- Pants Size: 36/38 Inches 92/98 cm
- Waist (belly button): 106 cm
- Chest: 105 cm
The area that worries me the most is by waist, this has to drop or my health risks will continue.
I will start today, not by drastic exercise or a fad diet, but by just saying that today is the day that I have to begin.
Global Corporate Challenge
Do you walk? To work, competitively, home, to the station, bus or just after work because you want to.
I don’t walk, I don’t really like it and I find it slow and boring. But quite a few people at work have gotten together to take on something called the Global Corporate Challenge (GCC), a quick warning that the website sucks, slow flash and badly designed.
Now I’m walking more, not because I enjoy walking but I suppose to try to be competitive. I heard that 10,000 steps per day is the quota to be healthy. I have heard of those that are clocking up 25,000 per day which is a lot of steps. I have noticed a problem though, walking everywhere is great, even if it is freezing cold outside, walking in a business suit. Also active walking can work up a sweat, turning up at a meeting or to the start of the day sweating isn’t what I’m after.
It is though a fair indicator of how much I don’t get around, even if I don’t reach the magical 25,000 steps mark I’ll try to aim for 10,000
