Lying in bed last night, unable to sleep, I was silently analysing my lifestyle. I realised that I must spend at least 90% of my day sitting, or lying down:
- Driving to work every day (30 mins)
- Working (8 hours)
- Sitting down at home due to being tired after sitting down at work all day. Usually during this period I'll do some web programming, or work some more.
- Make dinner. No wait, make far too much dinner. This one involves some standing up.
- Eat dinner (sitting down again)
- I might make some music (mostly sitting, but sometimes standing)
- Play some Xbox
- Sleep (lying down)
I make too much food for what I actually need, and as a result of all this sitting down and eating too much my tits are too big, my ass is too fat and I can't be bothered to do a lot of things which don't involve sitting down.
This mostly started once I learned to drive; since then I haven't been bothered about standing up.
So, a change of plan is needed. I can't afford to go to a gym, so I'll need to improvise with getting myself motivated to exercise any way I can. I enjoy walking, and some of the walks around where I live are pretty good. I need to watch what I eat and not feel like eating everything put in front of me. I need to not work at home and make more time for other things, like exercise.
I need to eat healthily. To be honest, I don't eat badly anyway, but it can be improved.
My first goal? Just to lose a few kilograms and feel a bit more active. That's a start. My brother's looking trim these days and has decent habits, so if I could be more like him I'll be happy.
Apart from the dodgy haircut and tendancy to steal other people's women, that is.
Wish me luck!
