The Rebuilding Process

It's been 6 days since I last weighed my self and I have dropped 4lbs. I'm quite chuffed with this, if I keep going at this rate in another 4 weeks I will be at 11 stone., which I think is an ideal weight for me. I've improved my diet eating loads of fruit, salad and cereal bars. I don't think the cereal bars are that good for me but a banana and a bar for breakfast have to better than my usual roll and sausage & tattie scone or roll and black pudding. Permanent hunger seems to be my new state of being but I can't go on bursting trousers and I'm nearly 30 so years of kebab and chippy abuse have caught up with me.

On another note. I booked flights to London at the beginning of last month and on Saturday I managed to book my Frightfest weekend pass. I'm super pumped about this as I've been to the Glasgow FrightFest for the last two years and it was brilliant both times. The Glasgow on is only two days and has 8 films, where as the London Frightfest is four days long and is showing 38 films across two screens. Now obviously I don't expect to see all 38 films as some will be on at the same time and some will be on rather late to about 1 or 2 in the morning. The main screen has 27 films across four days that is a punishing schedule so I may give some a miss. However the chance to see some weird and wonderful films with a like minded audience is always intriguing.

We Can Rebuild You part 2

Okay this is my first blog in a year and a half and after reading my last blog entry it will be near identical. Last week I burst two pairs of trousers, like a slow motion Hulk only fuelled by fat not anger. After my second trouser explosion I found a pair of trousers that fitted me fine and wore them proudly, only to discover 7 hours later, they were ripped along the arse from a previous hulk out. Nobody even noticed, I must be losing my sex appeal, this realisation , hurt more than the fact I was unaware that I pioneering pin stripe chaps.

Recently I have weighed myself on two separate scales. My Dad's set say I am 12 stone 4, the swimming pools set say I am 12 stone 5. The latter set also measured my height and stated I was taller than I thought , so for now I'll believe that I'm 12 stone 5lbs. I plan to be 11 stone soon. This means I have to shed 19lbs, its going to be rough. Thankfully my mate Stephen has agreed to do the same diet and exercise regime as I; no beer, no bread, no take away's , while swimming twice a week.

We started this 0n Sunday and it is now Tuesday this seems quite easy, however I feel like I have been eating loads more than I normally would. Well I have been eating more often, typically I would have three fat filled meals a day, but now and especially today I have been constantly grazing.

My intake for today includes:

1 litre of strawberry and banana smoothie
2 bananas
2 necatrines
x amount of grapes and raspberries (which were hairy for some reason)
1 satsuma
1 salami salad
1 chicken tikka salad
a fuckton (metric) of coffee
1 and soon to be 2 glasses of red wine.

I'm also on a budget at the moment but eating healthily is actually expensive I'll just need to get my shit together and prioritise things or at the very least do an organised shop. I intend to use this blog to chart my progress so lets see how things progress. I go on holiday in just under two months and therefore I need all the cash I can get, therefore I need to lose weight to save my current wardrobe as I can't afford a new one.
