I don’t usually make New Years Resolutions, when I have in the past they usually last a few days, but this year I am making a couple and will stick to them. Some of us mentioned about losing some weight. I said the same and I need to shift a bit more than I thought. I knew my weight had crept up a bit over the last year or so, the reason, too much booze and not enough physical activity. I often talk about the need for exercise, the truth is the last time I did any exercise was when pressed into at School 50 years ago. That being said I played golf for the thick end of 50 years and often played every day, sometimes two rounds in a day. I used to maintain my own property. I used to clean our cars sometimes twice a week, I was into gardening big time. I used to do a hell of a lot of walking. OK you get the picture. I was always on the go. So, more movement is required, The sofa is being unbolted from my arse on New Years day, OK maybe the day after, as New Years Eve is my birthday, and I have laid on a copious amount of booze, I may not get much further than the carzie New Years day.
Over the Christmas break I got my very accurate weighing scales back from one of our kids, weight 185 lbs oh dear. My best weight which gives me a 32” waist and minimal blubber is 165, so, 20 lbs to lose. I reckon this will be very easy to shift. Calorie restriction from 2500 minimum to around 1300. Carbs from around 50 per day to 30. 1300 calories does not sound much, but I think some will be surprised how much you can actually eat and stay within that limit. I will list the nosh and post up some photographs of the meals.
My second resolution will be much harder to stick to. I am going to try and stop posting about low carb antis, that for me will be a tough gig. But as I said in another post here today, those junk eaters are subsidising our low carb high quality nosh. Maybe they deserve more appreciation than I have given them over the years. It’s just dawned on me many of those carb noshers will be working to pay my old age pension, nice one.
Anyone else making New Years Resolutions? come on don’t be shy.
