So from some of my prescribed 98 pages that I have read so far, two key points that come out are measurement & motivation.
As I mentioned I'm 41. My weight is 14 stone 4 pounds and I'm just over 5 foot 10. Time to work in kilos and centimetres, just to make things easier. That makes me 179cm tall.
My start weight then: 91 kg. My objective: shed some fat. Anything else is a bonus.
I am active, but only when not at work. For eight hours a day I sit behind a desk in an office. This is something that I would also like to change, but inactivity pays well!
I try and do three sessions a week, but these vary from 30 minutes to 2 hours.
We have a gym at work and showers so that we can run at lunch time. Rugby training is once per week with twelve games between October and April. I also ride my mountain bike.
For the first week, I will be following just the diet, due to a painful coccyx injury. From the second week, I will add some exercise. I need to read more to see what would be the most effective.
For the motivation part we need some 'before' photos. Photographing my self in only my pants seems a little weird. It is going to be worth it. I am off to find my camera.
