Alrighty then. Got me some extra weight I want to shift.
Where to start... 36 year old male, think I'm about 5 foot 9 or something like that. Waist of about 36 inches, weight 15 stone. These are all rough. Am vegetarian for coming on 18 months, never touched alcohol / cigarettes / drugs.
My weaknesses - not really having time to do stuff, making up excuses, and snacks. Mainly of the dairy variety. I've got two kids and a wife, and an office job. On a usual day I'll get up at 6am and check reddit before getting ready and either getting my eldest kid up for daycare or making his packed lunch. Then I'll normally think "I haven't got time for breakfast, I'll just buy something from the supermarket".
Which normally turns out to be crap. I could get some of those cookies for $2.50 and eat three of them for "breakfast", then the other two cookies through the day. I do try to get active and walk 2-3 laps around a nearby lake (so a few km) before work, and a walk around the neighbourhood whilst eating an apple at lunch (another 1 or 2 km).
But yeah, that's what I need to quit. Need to drink more water too. My usual daily intake (not calorie counted) is:
Breakfast - sometimes cereal with soy milk, sometimes snacks
Lunch - at weekends it will vary wildly, but weekdays some pasta or cous cous packed lunch and an apple
Dinner - varies depending on what we want
Drinks - will normally have about a litre of water through the day, and a small (200-300ml) glass of a sugary drink in the evening
Of course we also have a few treats on top of that from time to time, but not ften.
But basically, I do think the snacks I have first thing in the morning are the issue. I've noticed me getting rounder, as have others, but I'm not yet at the "fat" stage. I could very easily get there though. I also don't want all the associated risks and issues that go with it - heart attacks, higher cancer risk, so on and so forth. I am currently trying to get help for sleep apnea, which is not caused by my weight (had it when I was underweight) but it is probably contributing to it.
I do normally exceed 10,000 steps a day - at least according to my phone - but on weekdays am pretty sedentary (weekends though we can get up to all sorts). As said, I have an office job. I'll get back hon e at 5:30, then it's dinner and putting kids to bed which will normally take up until 8, then relaxing until bed at 10.
I realise there may not be much the community can say if do to help me change my ways, but any help or support would be appreciated.
