Thursday 1st July - It all begins!

The date for my wedding ceremony is closing in on me, but so is the waist of my jeans and shorts.

Time for drastic action!

Over the next few months before the big day on the 10th October, I will be attempting to shed 1KG a week, so that I look a little lighter and more healthy for the ceremony.

Here is how Im hopefully going to do it:-

(1) Daily Drinks - I'm switching from Milk and Pepsi to water and Coke Zero.
(2) Nighttime Drinks - I'm switching from a more regular Beer night out, to a less regular Gin and Tonic night out (watering down the tonic with a little Soda water - every calory counts!)
(3) Eating - Apparantly McDonalds Breakfast Double Sausage and Egg Burgers, KFC Buckets, Platefuls of sandwiches piled with Mayo, Chips Cheese and Gravy etc, are all not so good for you. So I will be switching to a low low Carb diet. Mainly will be scrambled eggs or boiled in the morning, a salad with Grilled Chicken for lunch, and a homemade vegetable soup or more grilled meat and broccolli for dinner. Snacks will be small bag of peanuts etc.
(4) Excercise - Im switching back to the tried and tested method I used last time I lost 20kg. Swimming Laps one day, and then Cycling for an hour the day after. Every day of the week, apart from Sunday - Day of rest (Sunday is also my day for eating some fresh fruit).

I am hoping that all of the above will add up to a weight loss of 1kg + each week.

What do I weigh now? Well Im not starting it today, so Im not telling yet.

Fat Phil Topless Picture to come on Thursday (Shame myself into weight loss too!), along with my starting weight. I'll be weighing each Thursday, and posting here. I will also blog each day to say how it is going, and how my moods change etc etc.

Words of encouragement always welcomed! :)
