The Peak Condition Project - Day 1

Well, finally got cracking. Looking forward to it? Er...well.... but determined to see it through. The major challenge is time I think - having done a big diet thing once before, its all about perseverance and seeing it through for as long as possible. And then seeing it through some more.

I remember the main problem being that for the first two months, I didn't actually SEE any changes, but just as one might imagine a tasty chocolate bar being shrink wrapped, you only see what the object is when the last drop of air is sucked out. So I only see ribs and muscles when I'm down to the last couple of kg I have to lose: The first twenty or so are just depressing....And weighing in daily is probably even more depressing. Time tends to go very very slowly when I do this and every tick of the clock reminds me how hungry I am. So I will do my best to pretend its all just normal, get on with keeping busy and do my best not to think about beer and steak and pies and that.

Exercises went well to begin with, although I know i will be sore tomorrow....I've never skipped much before and its quite a bit more punishing than I imagined. Hopefully with a bit more practice, it'll get easier.

Targets, well I'm 135kg right now. 110 would be nice, 100 would be awesome. Biggest distance around gut (we'll call that "GMax" to keep the dietitians in buzzwords) is 126cm for reference....I'll try and update once a month only to keep my mind off what I'm doing...
