On seeing how a lady dropped the flab to a trim look, I could not help but be a little more serious about what I want to achieve with regards to fitness. Now, I have always been concerned about my tummy though it never occurred to me how out of shape I was.
Maintaining a 32”
waist has not been that difficult, though when I had cancer, that shrunk to
below 30” that all my trousers looked like big brother hand-me-downs. What
shocked me was when I measured my girth at my belly button, I was not expecting
to see 39”, I thought it would be at least 3” less.
Science the reality
Overnight, I had
decided to get a Honor Band
5 which includes a heart rate monitor, a step counter, a sleep monitor, an
exercise tracker and many more features I am yet to determine. I thought it
would be useful to keep tabs on fat burning and how I sleep.
After trying to
install exercise apps without much success or motivation to find out their
usefulness, I realised I could get good enough information first from WebMD and
our own NHS. I do a lot of brisk walking and I can follow the basic fitness
videos. [NHS: Exercise]
Know my vitals
I won’t be dieting or
calorie counting, I would eat moderately, cut out the unnecessary, increase my
intake of water and put in hours of walking before going to bed exhausted with
the aim that all aching muscles recover by the morning.
Critically, I need to
find out how well I sleep and if there are things, I could do to get more
relaxing and longer sleep. I need to see my weight drop along with the inches
of lard. I have my work cut out.
