Heh, weighed myself today and found I've put on just over a stone in the last 6-8months, bad times. Current weight is 13st 3lb, I gots a bmi of 26.3 which puts me just about overweight and I don't feel particularly healthy at the mo. Time to change me thinks.
Diet has changed fairly dramatically, it now consists of branflakes for breakfast, soup (from a tin) and a bread roll for lunch and then for tea it'll be fish/chicken/chilli/stew + salad (or veg) and new potato's or couscous (or maybe rice just to mix things up, I know, I'm crazy!). I'll be snacking on fruit throughout the day to stave off the hunger. If anybody else could recomend appropriate snacks/meals that'd be nice?
I'm not much of a cardio man so I'll be doing weights 3x weekly (mon, wed fri) at home with dumbbells, planning on doing 3x10 reps of the following:
bench press
flys
shoulder press
shrugs
bicep curls
skullcrushers
squats
I should say I'm limited to a set of dumbbells which limits somewhat the kind of things I can do.
If anybody else could recomend any other exercises I could incorporate to make the workout more thorough I'm all ears. I'm still working out the weights I'll be using (been a while since I played with my dumbbells, went out today and bought another 20kg of weight for them).
Anyway, I shall report back every week with my progress
