Hi All,
Never posted on a forum before, so this is a first, so be gentle.
I’m current around 17 stone, 5ft 8inches, 33 male and looking for a change.
Currently being living a healthy lifestyle for about 36 hours. Thought I would write a blog to help me with my plight to give me some additional motivation.
Where do a start, so ever since about 18 I’ve been on the heavy side, but last few years I’ve got bigger and bigger, I genuinely feel I’m ready for a change, but my hardest thing is sticking to it. Not making excuses, but last few years I’ve comfort eaten and drunk most days, I wouldnt go as far to say I’m a alcoholic but defo seeked refuge in drinking! Lot of women issues screwed my lil brain up, but 100 percent not thinking about it now, and just looking after me.
Also I’ve got my drinking demons under control, probably drink once a week now, hence my new willingness to get fit.
Unlike most I don’t actually want to be super skinny but at same time I don’t want to stand out for all the wrong reasons. My goal is to be able to wear a t shirt next summer and not feel concious about my beer belly and developing moobs!
My diet is pretty good so far, two eggs in the morning, with avocado and salmon, salad for lunch, followed by a chicken, rice and veg dinner, keep it really simple. As long I go shopping, I normally can stick to it, hardest thing for me, is keeping my mood on point, I’m a person that always self inflicts with over doing food or drink, whenever my mood turns, was thinking of picking up yoga but have no clue if this will help.
Open to advice on what to do exercise wise, or just saying hi will be helpful.
