Need some advice, tips pointers.
This is a 50 day count down.
A little about me.
Always been a cycler for commute purposes. Currently 3.5 miles each way. For the past
Fast metabolism (considering what I eat I would say very)
Below average height
just turned 31
I eat A LOT (sometimes 3 full meals a day and snack between)
I like Beer, serious ales and German beers, not a night on the Stella, weekends only, usually a 750ml bottle EACH DAY!
I am not overweight and fall within my ratio index at between 64/65 kilos (is that near 10 stone?)
Asthmatic – all under control
I would say Slim build, not broad in the shoulders ( I hate to admit it but there we go)
Typical food intake. Morning coffee (one coffee a day only then about 5/6 pints of water throughout the day).
Bacon Sarni OR Cake
Crisps (2 packs)
Lunch – Baked Tat with Chilli and grated cheese (big portion)
Afternoon tea with two finger kit kat and tea cake (small chocolate marshmallow covered with biscuit base)
Get home about 18:00 eat meal (I cook, all fresh food, but not the healthiest)
Girlfriends gets home about 20:00 – 21:00 I eat again same amount as before.
Lunch can vary, so the weekend just passed I had a small camembert, baked in the oven and ate the whole thing with a loaf of French bread. Afterwards I was still hungry so I cleared out 4 crumpets with butter. Later (before dinner) I had a large pot of olives.
Evening meal - Example, sausages and mash. I will do a three cheese mash, strong cheddar, Gruyere, and parmesan. I will cook 10 snags and eat about 8 of them in two servings with the cheesy tats, broccoli (A LOT OF THAT YUM) and caramelised onion gravy. I should add, when I started to get the dinner together I found some bacon, (only 4 rashers watirose thin cut) I fried them up and eat them as a snack before food was ready)
When we go around to parents and relatives, they will count me as 3/4 people to feed.
You can imagine our food bill!
I have (since last week) cut down (cut out rather) cake. Reduced my sweets but as a result I have found myself having to get an in-between sarni form the shop.
I eat so much I have been down the Dr’s many times for tests, as a child they thought I might have a tape worm as an adult, I get faint and week VERY fast if I don’t eat. I am not diabetic, or the other one (where you eat small amounts regularly).
Recently i have decided to get toned, nothing serious for a trip away. Not to strip off, but as a little bet i have with my 15 year old brother who jokes i will be a small fat man. He is a pot head (yes far to young i know many arguments, another topic) who sits, plays games and eats crap.
So, i have recently dropped my gear ratio, so i am cycling (more rotations per mile) than before. This has resulted in me dropping one notch on my belt.
However, i do have a slight amount of fat build up on my tummy and around my mid drift. I do a few sit ups, but not regularly. I thought I had a 30 inch waist. But my 30” trousers are loose, but my 28” jeans are too tight, even if I try and brave it (so they stretch) just a no go.
I do have access to a gym, with a weight machine for general lifting (one of these all on one machines even with leg work out) a running machines, rowing machine and cycling machine.
I was thinking, it might be good for me to stay away from the cardiovascular machines as I cycle, but perhaps the rowing machine would be a good addition.
There are free weights as well, but they are not too good. I have simple free weights at home (2 dumb bells and one (hehe long rod)) excuse the technical terms.
So in brief, my aim, to tone up my chest, and arms and get a little more shape to my legs while more importantly getting my midriff toned.
Let me know if you need any more info.
