Finally doin' this thing.

[KiltieMacBagpipes]

KiltieMacBagpipes here, and it has come to pass that my kilts no longer fit me. This identity-threat being unacceptable, it is high time I whip myself into shape.

 

At 5'7" and just a wee bit over 300 lbs, I've let myself go way farther than I ever intended to. No time like the present to start fixing it!

 

Main Quest:

Fit into my 42" Utilikilt.

 

Sub Quests:

1. No more than 2 sodas per day. 3 are permissable on Gaming Day only.

2. Strength training thrice a week.

3. Eat 1 meal per day that I actually prepared.

4. Meet my calorie goals from MyFitnessPal 5/7 days per week.

Subquests:

1: Pass, 2 sodas.

2: 0/3 for this week

3: Fail, was beat when I got home from work. Need to prepare ahead for this in the future.

4: Pass. Hit it right on the head.

 

My work schedule is weird. I work 3.5 12-hour overnight shifts, so my idea of when days and weeks start and stop is not normal. A day for me is from 2000 when I wake up to about 1200ish when I go to sleep, and weeks are from Wed-Tues.

 

And to clarify my original post, Gaming day is Tuesday when my D&D group meets.

Have you tried doing slow cooker meals, either in a crockpot, or in the oven? I love doing them since all you have to do most the time is put everything in, turn on, and enjoy when you get home. Posted a recipe in the caf of a soup that is super easy to do (and really healthy) that you can adapt to most any meat/veggies!

I totally have, and will continue to do so. I started this last minute and on a whim, but now it's time to break out the crock-pot!

I didn't realise kilts had sizes, but that really just shows that I haven't paid much attention to the male side of my own family
