Soldato
So after many years of wanting to do something but, put simply, being too lazy and shy to do anything about it i went to my first weekly MMA training session a couple of weeks ago and i absolutely loved it, i have never been in a fight and have a very laid back personality so don't plan too but its so much fun if you ignore the next day or 2 of aches.
Now this has triggered something and after years of being overweight and very unfit i want to make the most of this and not let it slip, my daughters both go to children's classes with the same sensei so i have a connection that will make avoiding the training hall very difficult.
to go with this i have also picked up a set of dumbbells and a foldable bench (i would love a full weight setup but don't have the room) and my wife has picked up a treadmill (that i plan to use at times) as she wants to start running (I'm sure she will update with her own plans - user ETanny) we also have DDP yoga and i intend on getting more use out of it on the quieter days.
i know the next part i really need to work on is diet which is where i know i will and have always struggles as food is my easy out, tired, stressed or bored i just resort to food (which working shifts and having 3 consecutive years of redundancy threats hasn't helped as ive spent a lot of time tired and/or stressed)
unless people really object i intend to use this as an update tool of sorts to keep me motivated, i wont be doing daily updates by any means but ill try posting regular posts about how im getting on.
currently i stand and 5'8" and fluctuate between 18st7lb - 19st but have been as big as 22st 5 years ago. i plan to track my food using my fitness pal and have a fitbit to track my movement.
I'm very open to advice if anyone has any.

I didn't notice the log section but anything to be more attractive to the OCUK members.
