Well after years and years of abusing my body with junk and no exercise and constantly being told I was risking death due to my already complicated heart condition, 5wks ago I woke up and said **** it, I need to do something. So with that I bgan to walk 1km up hill each day progressing more and more to now where I am doing 3km a day. After my 3km walk I come home and do 50 sit ups, and I use a 10kg dumbell just to start toning my flabby arms. In the last 5wks I also go to the gym once a week and do 4.5km on treadmill at 5km/h and 4" grade. I then go and do some lat pull downs, push ups and then hit the bike where I go 10 mins at a time on level 10 and keep a steady 85rpm. Surprisingly my heart is coping so far and saw my specialist on Friday and there has been no change since my last visit, so it is obviously coping, today I mixed jogging into my 3km walk (That was maybe pushing it). In 5wks I have dropped 11-14kg and have gone from a 4xl to a 2xl shirt which I celebrated by finally buying surf clothes again lol. I am now just below 100kg and as I am 178cm tall, I am looking to drop to 85kg as I want a bit of muscle on my body. It feels awesome because everyone I know notices just how good I am looking again etc and I have stamina I never used to have. I do have to be real careful but due to my heart, but we are getting there.

Food wise I am still sneaking in junk lol, but for the most part breakfast is an egg either poached or scrambled (no milk) with baby spinach on brown toast. Lunch is usually Tuna and salad on soy and lindseed bread (love the stuff) dinner tends to be pretty normal, but if I can avoid the high carb stuff I try to. I was even surprised as I was really busy this weekend and did not get time to exercise and I was eating poorly and I felt so bad about it lol.
