Lose a stone and maybe tone a little in 3 months

[rossyl]

Hey, i wanna lose a stone or more, and tone up a bit, particularly in the chest region in 3 months.

Firstly main thing is to be realistic.

I come back from work late shattered. And am not really the gym sort.

Here's my current routine.

Breakfast - Two bananas.
Lunch - I eat a Ginsters Cornish Pasty and two oranges throughout day.
Snack - Tea and biscuits or whatever crap is going when i come back rom work. Dinner - I eat whatever is put on the table, and little can be done to help that (although its usually home cooked beef/pork/chicken and rice and veg).

And about 5pints a week on average. (some weeks that'll be 2 pints, occasional big nights out a lot more)

Excercise

None. Drive to work. Sit down behind desk. Come home sit and watch TV. Its rubbish I know.

I am trying to do some time on the rowing amchine. However after like 3mins i feel knackered. I suppose I have to learn how to break through the pain barrier. But I find it boring.

I have thought about going for a 30min walk (up large hill, then down large hill).

I am also trying to go play squash once a week for 45mins, although my mates are useless.


I have press up bars that i rarely ever use. And one of those ab cruncher things my sister bought.

ADVICE Please!

I have read it before, when i was getting all keen. Was gonna buy weights etc. But i wasn't being realistic. As I'd buy the stuff and never use it.

Having 5-6meals as Gordy suggests doesn't really work with my daily schedule, I don't even have time for breakfast, and occasionally don't take lunch til 3pm. And usually eat dinner at 10pm.

The thing about doing gym stuff, i.e. bench presses, running machines etc bores the hell outta me. I'm more for natural sport excercise. Excercise that mentally stimulates me, and is relatively natural. Like going for a walk, or playing football. unfortunately its a bit late to get into local clubs etc.

I'm not looking to be butch and built...just to lose weight and tone up a little to lose the boobs! I was hoping the rowing machine, and maybe push ups would help in light toning.

HOWEVER...I am willing to try and change my current regime. It would be stupid for me to come on here and say, "I'm changing nothing, make me lose weight".

But the most important thing is to be realistic. As otherwise it will alst for one week.

Thanks Gordy and others for posts.

DIET can and will be changed.

So porridge in morning (original quaker oats? Alpen?)

In between breakfast and lunch it can only really be fruit. I currently have oranges. If its other fruit it should be something that can just be eaten or peeled and eaten, don't really ahve time for avocados and things like that.

Sandwiches with tuna/ham/chicken. Will be arranged. With no mayo I presume?

Snack here? I have no sugar in tea really. Fruit can be put substituted again.

Excercise

I'm not gonna buy a bench and massive bar, but dumbells aren't off the chart.
What about the rowing machine? The walk? and push up bars?

If you could think of soething that is manageable that'd be great.

I think it is important to be honest. Ther's no point you setting a 3 hour training regime, when i've barely got time for 1 hour.

Spur me on mate!

Dinner - No change.
