Well, I have a few facts to face and some stuff to sort out. But I am doing relatively well in accepting that.

First: I have a real problem with food. I like junkfood and I eat too many sweets.
My portions at dinner are often too large although the rest of my meals are usually sensible.

Second: I yo-yo my working out. I'll be really faithful one week and the net find a thousand reasons why I should be doing something else instead.

Third: I'm unhappy with how I look and it makes me depressed and useless in other areas of my life. And that affects more than just me.


Now, I lost weight before and got into great shape. I looked good and I felt good. I was confident and I didn't let the world get me down. So I need to do that again.


Now, I don't want to burn out, so I've figured out something that will work for me.


Stage 1:

Do at least 30 minutes of Cardio 3 times a week. I have a new elliptical machine so I have no reason not to.

Do weights at least 3 days a week. I have a nice weight bench and lots of weights and bars so, again, I have no reason not to.

Eat sensibly.

Now, I would love to build strength and sculpt and do cardio on my weight days too but that leads to burnout.
If I can get 10 minutes of cardio on a weights day that's great. Otherwise it's not big deal.

So long as I stick to those 3 things I can do this. And I will do this.
I'm sick of letting myself down.
