Suggestions appreciated

Before I get started I have a few questions that I hope some of you could shed some light on and give me a few suggestions.

I am working night shifts as you know and start @ 22.00 and get off @ 06.30 in the morning, my question for you is the following:

When would be the best thing to go to the gym, or does it not matter at all?

Just before work, somewhere between 20.00 and 21.30?
Directly after work @ 6.30?

From what I have been thinking I plan to do some lifting and end the session off with a bit of cardio on a bike, that is as far as I’ve gotten in my plans at this point, if that has anything to do when I work out.

The normal routine is that when I get home from work I either go to sleep directly or have some breakfast before I go to sleep, is it best to eat before I go to sleep or to wait until I wake up again around 13.00-14.00?

As I said, any suggestions and thoughts would be appreciated and you can reply in Swedish if you like, I mainly write this blog in English as I currently live abroad as you know.

Until the next post, I wish you all a good day and I’m looking forward to some thoughts.

Ciao.

Shedding an inch, or giving up yet again

People around me seem to think it’s a piece of cake (no pun intended) for a fat guy like me to lose weight and I’ve been a bit of another opinion, without really trying to prove them or me wrong.

The main and only reason for this is that I am truly more lazy than one might think and just getting my ass out of the flat and to the gym is something that I can push up for another day without breaking a sweat when finding an excuse.

Now I was thinking about trying to give this a shot, and I know myself way better than to say a ”real” chance, as I might come up with an excuse to not go to the gym, or to cheat by eating pure junk food and drink a Red Bull or a soda or five.

I will be honest enough and write down everything that I eat and drink during the days/nights in this blog and I would love it to get input from you all, as I know a lot of you are way more into training and eating right than I am.

Comments about me being a fat lazy muppet is not needed as this is a well know fact already, but I would honestly love to get some feedback and tips on food, as this is something I will struggle with.

And one more thing I think I should add, I am not putting this up as something that will go on for months or so, unless I get hooked of course.

I intend to TRY and keep it up for a month at first as to see if I can get more motivated, or if it ends as it always does with me giving up after a couple of days.

As there is no scale that I can get my kilos down on I will not write down any kilos, but I will however write down some measurements and update them every Sunday with a total of 4 Sundays and see if 1 month can do any chance at all.

If you are not aware already I can inform you that I am working night shifts, and therefore my life is cordinated accordingly and I will try to come up with an ”ok” way to how I shall cordinate my food, if I care for this or just change the food itself and keep the schedule I have.

I will decide tomorrow when I wake up if I shall start then or as Gurra so nicely posted on Facebook, ”Start on Monday” J

As of now, I will eat the rest of my snickers and watch another episode of Mad Men as I am starting this out as to see if I like it or not.

Until the next time, enjoy yourself people.
