i am a REET FAT LAD, and i'm gonna do something about it, starting now, as it's the easter holidays so i've got plenty of spare time to get a bit of a head-start in terms of fitness.
the plan:
* lots of cycling. i used to cycle all the time, but a combination of a bike seat that feels like sitting on a brick, and the fact that i had a bit of an accident that resulted in a £200 dental bill kinda put me off. i've always been a pretty decent cyclist though, i could go for hours without getting tired. so i figure i'll get a new bike seat and see how that goes.
* i plan on cycling the few miles to my friend's house AT LEAST every other day, where he's mapped out a route around some country lanes that's about 3miles. we'll start off jogging and see what we can build to from there. then i'll bike home afterwards.
* if all the cycling goes well, i also plan on cycling to skegness, which is about 20miles away from where i live in boston, at some point during the fortnight i'm back at home, possibly more than once.
* gonna start trying to get a regular sleeping pattern going, rather than constantly staying up til the early hours and sleeping in late.
* i'm also going to start doing situps and lifting small weights (by small i mean hand-weights, as opposed to weight benches and powerlifting).
* on top of all that, i'm going to try to eat a bit healthier - main areas being cutting down a lot on snacking, and having smaller portions at mealtimes.
...having typed all that out, i'm now actually feeling quite enthusiastic about doing all this!
