A post about weight loss

This is about as round as you can get

Late last year, I bought a pair of jeans without trying them on first. Got home and I couldn’t do them up. Two months ago, I started eating less in the way of snacks (mostly as an attempt to save money). Now those jeans fit. I did have the problem of wanting to snack more, which I solved by drinking lots of water (I now drink about 2 litres a day, which is supposedly the recommended amount)

So now I’m going to take it to the next level (and other motivational speak). In keeping with Nike philosophy, I’m about to start the Hacker’s Diet (more specifically, the exercise plan section). I also have an exercise bike which I’ll use as well.

Many years ago, I bought a book about the Canadian Air Force’s 5BX exercise program at a jumble sale. I never really got into it though. Anyway, the Hacker’s Diet program combines 5BX and XBX (the version for women) and simplifies them.

As for weight loss goals… I don’t really have a target weight in mind (though when I was at my fitness peak I weighed 85 kilograms). I’ve got some t-shirts I’d like to be able to wear though.

  1. Looks like the kitty needs to drink more water:) Love the photo.

    • Thanks, though it’s not my photo. I found it on Flickr’s creative commons licensed section. Clicking it takes you to the original.

  2. This sounds frick-dawg ridiculous but I SWEAR the most effective weight loss method I’ve tried (besides emotional releasing) is Zumba. But I understand that the humiliation is just not worth it. Ha.
