Week 0 and side comments..

Alright.... next week onwards... will be a start of a dramatic new lifestyle, new food regime, new exercises...

This week was quite a killer. Psychologically, my mind has been telling me up to now, that a diet is imminent and will stay for a long time. So I sort of "comforted" it by eating on stuff that I'll really miss out for a long time... like the infamous BK Whopper?

Ah... BK, can still remember the time I gulped down a meal-for-two after a brief visit to the physio... Oh man...

Right... After searching on the Net for some answers to my problems, opinions and professional advice alike, I finally came up with a plan.

For this 26 weeks to come, I will intensify my exercise, and food discipline.

Here we go...

Week 0 Summary:

Weight : 108kg (Yes, I agree it's getting bad...)
Height 1.83m
BMI: 33.34 (Guess I'm back with the morbidly obese ppl. 26 and below is my target!)

Drink habits have been quite bad, with the fact that meals at the cookhouse are REALLY a different contrast from my own camp's cookhouse (was at another camp, Sembawang Camp, for a vehicle mantainence course.)

And Walking around with a fieldpack is quite stupid, so everyday, I carry a plastic bag to camp (It's a stayout course weee!!!!). For these two weeks, I just have this craving to try out the new stuff around in the canteen, and with soft drink machines all around, my diet was... drastically changed... and chances of going for seconds (if the cookhouse food is good) is close to 100% if my colleagues wished to skip their meals...

Mobility wise, my 1500ml water bottle is too big. If I opted to stay in, it would be a different matter, but i swear by the book that NSFs like me ain't gonna do that... unless the camp's in the east and you live in the west.

------------------------------------

Now on to my plan for the next 26 weeks.

Target: to lose 1 kg a week. (that's 26 kg in total) If lose extra during that week, doesn't count. but if lose less than target, tweak exercise plan.

Meal regime: To be divided into six meals. That would be great... to be able to eat breakfast, morning tea break, lunch, afternoon tea, and dinner!!! woohoo! :-)

But... For breakfast, lunch and dinner, servings to be halved.

To drink at least a litre of plain water for meals.

Exercise Regime: Include 30mins of walking/jogging in the wee hours of the morning everyday. On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, to include 3 sets of 12 pushups, 3 sets of 12 squats, 3 sets of heel raises.

Alright... On to week 1!!!!
