Weight Loss

Seven Months ago I joined a Gym. My goal was simple, start exercising and loosing weight. It went well to start off with. Good intentions and all of that jazz until I started loosing my motivation to go to the gym. I started finding excuses. Such as “It’s too late” or “I have work early tomorrow” I was much more content to sit on the computer, chatting with friends on Skype or AIM and watch videos on YouTube, play The Sims Social on Facebook or just rewatch a Television series from scratch. In the course of Seven months, with no change to my diet and well, fairly irregular physical activity. I have only managed to loose 2.5KG which really isn’t my monies worth when I am paying for a Gym membership.

So today I’ve made up my mind. Starting Monday 10/10/11 I will start being more active, I will visit the Gym at least three times a week. I will not make excuses and I will start to change my diet. I will pay attention to what I’m eating and I will not eat junk food all day. I will not have McDonalds, KFC, Hungry Jacks, Charcoal Chicken or the likes more than once a week. I will drink water more regularly and I will start loosing weight. I am not paying money for a gym membership only to see it go to waste. I’ve spent enough money over the years on technology and junk food. I now need to make the money I’m spending in gym memberships worth it. I’ve already made the investment into my health financially. I just need to get my self physically behind it.

I currently weight in at 122.5KG and I’m posting that here for the whole world to see. Because I no longer want to be this weight anymore. I don’t want to wear 2XL sized clothing. I don’t want to get exhausted running around for five minutes when I’m playing the dog. I want to be able to go for long run’s with him. I want to be able to feel comfortable with who I am and I want to get down to a Large in clothing size. I’ve been inspired watching Youtuber ShayCarl loose weight. He’s lost over 50 pounds which equals to 22.67KG which is pretty much the same amount in which I need to loose to reach what I am currently calling my goal weight. But that doesn’t mean that I will be happy with getting to just 100KG. I want to get further. But Weight Loss is not my soul goal here. I want to increase my strength, my fitness and my eating habit’s. It’s a long and challenging commitment and I fully understand that it will not happen over night.

It’s because of this that I have decided I will update at least once a week on my health progress. Every Sunday I will update you with my weight. Because if I’m posting it online, there’s no way I want to go up in weight. Only down. I’m not expecting to go from fat to skinny in just a week. This will be a long journey and hopefully one that I will be able to get through if I put my mind to it. As far as I see it. I’m taking my first steps here and now. I just need to make sure I take my second, third, fourth and fifth until I start seeing improvements.

I encourage anyone else who reads my blog, if they are wanting to change something about themselves. Join me in this mission. Post your goals and progress on a blog, tumblr, twitter or Facebook. Anywhere that makes it public. Because if your goals are public. You are more likely to strive for them. Thats all I have to say today. Now I head out to begin this mission. I hope you will follow me along for the ride.
