Two weeks in.......

Before I start, please note that this blog contains a few references to the area around my genitalia, so for those who don't like reading about that sort of thing, or if the thought of me talking about that area of my body turns your stomach a bit, don't read on.


Well I'm two weeks into my diet and things are going reasonably. My initial rapid weight loss has slowed down and I think I'm not at that level where I'll lose 2 pounds a weight, give or take. It is disappointing not to see the weight go down rapidly but at least I'm not gaining weight, which is probably the most important thing. 12 pounds in two weeks isn't that bad afterall, average of 6 pounds a week, most people on diets would kill for that.

My main form of exercise at the moment is coming through biking to and from work, which works out at about 10 miles per day, all done within 60 or so minutes (3 miles to the train station, 2 miles from the train station at the other end to work, and then reverse for the return journey). The first two days I did it I was absolutely shattered, I felt physically ill on the first day, but since then it's got better and even though lactic acid is still prominent in any of my bike rides, I'm not longer shattered from the bike riding, which is a relief because I really did feel crap on that first morning.

The only problem I have with the biking is that (this is the bit where I talk about that region) it causes a lot of chafing and I'm starting to get small friction burns on my upper left inner thigh (basically right under where the penis/testicles are) and it fucking kills. Because my uppers legs are quite large they rub together on a regular basis, especially when walking, and I can't tell you how uncomfortable it all is at the moment even just walking upstairs.....might have to buy some vaseline.

Other than that I am struggling to get exercise in. I work in an office and don't regularly get the chance to get up and walk around, which means all calories I eat during the day aren't then starting to burnt off until I start the bike ride home. There is a gym opposite work but they appear to have minimal cardio machines....and I certainly don't want to be what would generally be described as "buff". I'd love to be physically fit, but not to the point where my it looks like I'm smuggling small inflated balloons all over my body.

Luckily weekends are quite good as I eat the same amount but I am relatively active on weekends and tomorrow I am going to watching Lincoln away at Kettering. The nearest train station to the ground is 6 miles away and I'm probably going to walk it........I must be fucking mad.

But anyway, until next time, peace out.
