Day 1 of my Summer Six Pack Challenge

Weight - 70.4kg
BMI - 24.1

Abs - totally flabby

Well hello out there. Today is the first day of my Summer Six Pack Challenge. I have signed up to this challenge at my local gym, so I thought I may as well blog the trials and tribulations along the way! The prize for the most improved middle is $500!

I have 8 weeks to turn my wobbly midsection (look at that blubber fly!) into a passable belly for Summer. I am under no illusions that by the end I will actually have well defined abdominals or that I will win this competition. In fact, the idea of me having a six-pack is hilarious to me and my friends alike, most of who have pissed themselves laughing when I have told them of my harebrained idea...

But I'm not doing this without any assistance. The gym instructors have been great, giving me lots of tips and a diet plan. The idea is to eat six small meals a day. This is alot harder than it sounds. Today I have constantly been preparing food, stuffing my gob and feeling full...maybe I'm doing something wrong??

To give you an idea of what I've eaten today:

Meal 1 (Breakfast) - glass of water with a squeeze of lemon

1/2 cup of muesli with half a cup of skinny milk

Meal 2 (Morning tea) - an apple and a handful of nuts

glass of water

Meal 3 (Lunch) - can of tuna mixed with a tbsp of low-fat mayo, a diced tomato and a small can of mixed beans

glass of water

Meal 4 (Arvo tea) - 6 rice crackers with a slice of cheese

glass of water

Meal 5 (Dinner) - small eye fillet steak with rocket (with a tsp of olive oil and balsamic dressing) and two pieces of celery with hummus

glass of water

Meal 6 (Dessert) - yoghurt

glass of water

It's 8pm now and Ive just finished dinner. So don't feel like the yoghurt but I'm gonna have to squeeze it in before bed...aargh!

I think this has been so difficult cos I didn't have breakfast till 9am, so its put me on the backfoot all day long...

Hopefully tomorrow will be a bit easier. I'm gonna eat at 8am, 10am, 12pm, 3pm, 6pm and 9pm...I would have thought that eating this much would be easy and enjoyable but I am so glad that I am an unemployed bum right now! I wouldn't have time to work as well with my hectic eating schedule!!

So to eat by 8am, I'm gonna hit the gym at 7am each day...I must be frickin nuts! Oh yeah, forgot to say that I am gonna exercise six days a week, with Sunday being reserved for God and my abs to prolapse...

Wish me luck!
