Oh boy. This is sort of embarassing.
You see... I... Well, the thing is...
I havent actually been to the gym yet. So this means, I cannot give you a current weight. I cant really talk about much of anything. I would list the foods I have eaten, but being today was therapy day, I kinda had a "food hug" blowout. So, in an effort to note hate myself forever by documenting the bad things I have eaten today, Im going to pretend it never happened.
So what the hell am I going to write about today? Well, I can set a goal for the next week. I need to get the gym and shake of the lazies. I know once I start going, I will enjoy it again. Its just currently it is difficult, because I am car-less. And its well within walking distance, but anyone who lives in Adelaide would know about the rather crazy weather we are having atm (Its a minor cyclone outside as I type, IMO).
That isn't to say I have been without exercise. My job as a Pizza Delivery "Expert" has fortunately not been interrupted by my lack of fast transportation, as the company owns two cars and they have allowed me the use of one for the next few weeks until I can pay to get a new radiator. However, they are located about 2 - 3 kms away (uphill... both ways. No seriously, there is a bloody steep hill to go up there and back). So I get a decent walk in every night I work. I am not being completely lazy (although not through any active effort to be otherwise... >.>).
Ok, so... challenges and goals. This week (Wednesday 25 - Wednesday 1) will have simple goals. I want to go to the gym 3 times this week, and I want to ensure I eat breakfast, lunch and dinner every day. I often skip both breakfast and lunch, simply because I cant be bothered. Breakfast makes me nausious, lunch usually seems like a hassle that I cant afford. Of course, to offset this, I snack. This is bad. So to start off with a proper pattern and a healthy lifestyle, simply eating 3 main meals a day and going to the gym 3 times a week is my goal. Baby steps, Luke. Baby steps.
Low risk challenge, low risk reward. Success on 5 out of 7 days and 100% gym attendance will entitle me to spend $10 on myself in any non-food related way. Money is really tight, and I am often wishing I could do something a little more exciting with it for myself, but am always too afraid that I wont be able to afford petrol, or groceries or rent. However, at the end of the week I usually do have 10 - 20 left over, so I go and buy McDonalds or KFC or something which is really just a waste of money and no good for my goal of getting fitter and healthier. So I may put it aside and by myself a book with future rewards, or the new Walking Dead video game I have noticed recently (I love zombies) that seems really cheap at $25 but I just cant afford that luxury atm.
Photo of my big belly will be updated later in the week, when I can find my missing webcam.
