I predict a diet!
To change a Kaizer Chiefs song.... I Predict A Diet. Do ya see what I did there?! Clever init!!
So today has been a productive day and an enjoyable one. I had nothing to do today at all after being tragically dropped from the cricket team due to the thirds not having a game and all of them playing for us fourths. ah well. Instead I decided to do some study, which didnt really happen. I tried to sort out my situation at college where apparantly I'm failing (will update about that when its safe) and then arranged my folder. This puts me in the position where I know which work I have to do. I also tidied my room and did some washing :). Whilst doing all this I ate a whole tube of pringles, a bowl of cereal and a litre of orange juice.
Then in the evening I went to the pub with the lovely Taf and a few others. Seeing as I had no dinner I ordered Burger + Beer for 4 quid. I then had another pint and then me and Taf went off to the pool club. I had a pint of lemonade and then we went to H&H to get a chicken roll (naan bread) and a Guanabana each. I'm hoping you're noticing a theme here... I'm eating like a pig. I eat rubbish all the time and never actually have proper meals or fruit and veg. I think I'm getting bigger and I certainly feel unhealthier and fatter. Apart from football Im not doing any other exercise. This is bad.
I'm going to be doing pre season football training with Ware FC from June 28 and at this rate I wont even be able to stretch without getting out of breath. Pre season training is the hardest of all training. It is entirely about fitness and running for about 2 hours doing jogging, sprint relays and mixtures of the two. I want to do this so that I am physically fit and above the fitness of my young people that I play football with. At the age of 22 you kinda have 2 paths in front of ya really. You either go for staying fit and looking good or you let yourself go a bit and its damn hard to get it back. Thats why Im doing this now, before its too late. So what am I actually doing??
WELL! Im going to diet. But I hate using that word, it makes it sound so... girly. haha i know its not but you must know where Im coming from there! I like to think of it more along the lines of "eating healthily and exercising" - which im sure u agree isnt as catchy as "diet". So heres some bullet points of what Im going to do:
No fast food at all! (that includes H&H, Subway, random crap from Tesco)
No crisps or chocolate (the easy things to buy from Tesco)
Yes to as much fruit as possible (im going to try and eat JUST fruit for the moment - but they may change)
Excerise daily (if Im not playing footy then a jog of some length)
No alcohol (it really suprising how unhealhty it is for the gut, especially Guinness!)
Right now it is 01:45 on the 28th May 2006. Pre Season starts on the 28th June so thats one whole month. My challenge is to maintain it for that lenghth. Apparantly it takes 40 days of doing something for it to become a habit. We shall see! Wish me luck! I will try and keep you all updated.
