I have been doing well with my fitness over the past year however ive not relly lost much weight or built up much strength.....
Â
Im going to up it a notch now for 60 days to see how much i can improve....
Â
i'm happy with my steps each week.
Id like to improve my strength so will work now on weights.....
Now the weather is nice ill do my steps outsideÂ
I hear intermitent fasting really helps (basically not eating for longer in evening before bed (this will be tough)....and for an hour in the morning....
Â
I generally sleep for 12 hours a night on weekends and 10 hours on weekdays...... so i feel i can afford to get up 2 hours earlier and go to the gym before work.....
Â
I start work at 930am
Â
Ill set my alarm tomo for 730am which gives me 2 hours...... 15 mins to get to gym.......45 mins exercise.... 15 mins shower.........15 mins walk back...... 15 mins breakfast get changed......15 mins walk to work.....
Â
Then ill have been up 1 hour 30 before eating breakfast...... and will have not eaten for 13 hours fasting each night.....
Â
I will focus in gym on weights a lot more than cardio.......Â
Â
I will also play more table tennis with my folks.....
Â
Also results depend on what i intake 80/20 (80 food 20 exercise) so this is very important......
Â
ill stick to 1800 kcals a day my advised amount for losing weight...... with the extra exercise this will be enough for energy....
Â
Ill also look to eat more fruit and veggies each day but in small meal portions...... regularly but in less bulk....
Â
Porridge tomo....
eggs next day
porridge again....
eggs again....
Steak once a week on a saturday....
noodles (low cals)
whole meal bread.... (one slice per meal)
Â
This month ive done 364,000 steps (plenty)
ill aim to do 13k a day (which i easily do at work) then the weights will be where i get my increase in health benefits and strength.
Â
Lets see how i go....

Hello Adam123,
Thank you for sharing your fitness goals on Forum
It is evident you have put a lot of thought into both the nutrition and exercise parts of the plan. Feeling good and achieving your goals can become a positive cycle alongside remaining gambling-free. Having a manageable date to aim for is great news. You may inspire others to up their activity levels now the weather is getting better in the UK!
Best wishes on reaching your target and enjoying the journey there.

Well here i am 1 month into my challenge....... Just updated my spreadsheet as u can see and ive now done one year of training that im keping track of...... im quite pleased as i almost managed 2000 miles in a year....... I done exactly 200 sessions in the leisure centre (either doing gym, tennis or health suite) which works out to 3.85 sessions average a week...... which i also think is pretty impressive....... i walked over 5 miles average a day...... As you can see im pretty consistent thru the year (i started very well then peaked and then was consistent thru the year.
Â
Â
This week as ive been off work its been tougher to get the steps in however ive managed 51k so 7k a day average which is good.... i went to the gym a number of times thru this week......Â
Â
Back to work tomo booooo.....
Â
Biting at the bit to get back into work and getting the steps in again.....
Â
I think i really am too tough on myself with regards to my self worth, confidence and self esteem...... im putting in effort into all areas of my life and its gaining rewards for doing so....... i think i can pat myself on the back for this years training.... a job well done 🙂
