It has taken some real dedication to eating to get this big, a lot of sitting down and plenty of late night snacking, I've eaten until full, bursting even and ate more on top of that.
I am the ripe old pre-nervous breakdown midlife crisis age of 39 now, 2 boys Ryan 4 and Ethan 6 months, married to Shannon and full of excuses.
No more eating junk
No more 2 sausage roll breakfasts washed down with a half litre coke.
No more fad Hollywood diets.
I am doing what we are already biologically programmed to do and that is basically not be greedy, apparently to maintain my weight right now i should consume over 3600 calories per day, wow that is hectic, the recommended amount for a normal mildly active male is 2200, i popped my stats into an online diet generator and apparently because i do zilch exercise, have a BMI of 50% (Ronaldo's is 10) and should weigh in around 85kg (what?) i need to consume no more than 1700 calories a day, so that's what i am going to do.
No more daft lo carb, high fat, lose a load of weight only to stop the eating plan and put it all back on again plus 10%.
No more boring boring egg breakfasts, mayo salads for lunch and a rack of lamb chops for dinner (fine though hey).
Nope i am going to follow the age old advice of, lo calorie coupled with portion control, plenty of water, five meals a day, proper breakfast and for now a wee bit of exercise, i am going to blog about how i get on, upload pics, at times talk rubbish, i will try to update as much as i can, any encouragement, support or even abuse will be much appreciated, we'll see how the blog develops, 12 months initially i will follow the eating/exercise plan, goals will be set, achieved and reset.... Here we go, fasten your seatbelts (tune) i'm on the blast pad, strapped in ready to tackle this mother head on, join me if you like....
