So I have started cutting out certain foods. For example instead of eating a sandwich and crisps for lunch, I have now disposed of the crisps and in the process about 200 extra calories. Losing weight should be a mathematical equation - burn off more calories that you consume and you will lose weight right? So I had to admit to myself that taking in some physical activity might well be required. Easier said than done when my job has involved me sitting on my bum drinking tea every day since the age of 16!
Now the idea of jogging scared me half to death so I settled on a compromise - Walking.
I must be a natural at walking, everybody must be! It's even an Olympic sport. Using that theory we all partake in a sport (using the term very loosely) that is recognised by the Olympic games, every day of our entire lives. I have come to the conclusion that we are all Olympians in one way or another. However we have probably missed the boat for 2012 I fear.
So now I walk 5 miles a day, 5 days a week and based on an online calorie calculator, this burns around 400 calories a day! That's 400 calories that I wasn't burning before. You bet I'm excited! I can't wait to step on the scales in a month and show off my new slimline figure to the world. You just wait!
There is, as with most things in life, a hitch. A daunting realisation that hit me like a steam train as I was sweating my way up Islingwood Road in Brighton. And the hitch is summed up neatly in this series of pictures. (See if you can work out what I'm going to type next)
Well yes they are all golfers. As part of their job they spent most days of their lives walking miles and miles and yet most of them are still fat.
Based on the evidence above here is my theory;
Walk to get from A to B. Jog to lose weight.
Thanks Colin Montgomerie et al. You have ruined my day and made me build up a sweat for no reason in particular. I hope you all fail to make the cut next time round.
