I seem to be finding it had to motivate my self at the moment to lose weight. I can eat clean during the days - but at night I have nothing to do and go back to eating. Living within 200m of McDonalds is killing me as well. I have about 12 weeks before I fly to my South East Asia adventure, and I really want to be less self conscious on the beach.
So heres the thing - I work manual jobs, spend a lot of time skiing, so its only the diet that keeps this gut on me. Therefore if I eat properly, I should be sorted for Thailand. It disgusts me that I have been so lax over the last 6 months. I have done this before, and I WILL do it again…..
Currently about 73kg or 160lb. The aim is to drop 10kg or 22lb in 12 weeks - I have previously managed 2lb a week so its possible. The aim is guessed on how much I think I need to loose before my abs show through just a little. I am now 8lb heavier than my absolute low, so thats where I am starting from.
The diet will basically be eating between 1700 - 2000 cals per day - more than before as I am not sedentary anymore. Exercise is in the form of 20 - 35 hours manual labour plus 10- 20 hours skiing a week. I also have a bike which I will get out on when its not suicidally icy! I will also can the drinking, except for my Friends birthday and a night out before I leave New Zealand.
