Gym preporation and start date for transformation.

OK so i plan to start the gym on the 1st of February and go at least 4 times a week. This should send me well on my to getting the body Ive always wanted, and best of all I'm going to be doing most of it naturally to show all the protein shake takers out there that they are not needed and a cost that you don't need to waste to get toned and bulk up.

So considering Ive spent most of this month with no info on what I'm doing here are a few things i have started to do to make my induction to gym life a little bit easier.

1. Eating a lot healthier - by just adding a few vegetables in every meal and not snacking throughout the day has made me lose more weight than anything else i think and has made me use up my body fat during the day rather than just by adding to it by having a chocolate bar.
2. Ive started to do light weights at home these only include up to 4.5kg single handed weights that i use in a number of different positions, on top of that i have a thigh trainer and some push up bars to help my overall fitness level and help shed those extra pounds.
3. lastly i have taken to jogging around my local marina, not only is it lovely to look at it works out at around a mile for a round trip from my home to the end of the marina and back again so i get to do around 5 miles in jogging a week on top of a full days work that has me running around a lot as it is.

And that is pretty much all i have been doing to get ready to start my transformation and already i have lost 7lb in 2 1/2 weeks which is great for me and my spare tyre I'm trying to get rid of around my middle.

 In my next post which will be close to my start day i will post how much my starting weight was at the beginning of January and what it was when i started then gym then after that i will be posted a day by day through of my training which will include.

1. Picture of my body on that day for reference.
2. List of just what i did during that session
3. Hoping to be able to post my BMI of each day
4. how much wight i lose each day if i lose/gain any weight at all.

Thanks for reading and IL keep you posted with more updates soon,

Start date of transformation

Hi im James and i am going to be using this blog to monitor my progress over the next 6 months of being at the gym to see just how far i can go.

I will not be using any proteins or supplements for the first month or two to see if progress is steady enough on its own, If i dont progress as fast as im expecting then i will move onto a protein shake and vitamin supplements to aid in muscle growth.

Im not hoping to become really big i just want to get a nice toned body for the summer s that i can take off my shirt and not feel fat in anyway that is pretty much my goal in this.

I will start off on some cycling and light weight training for the first few sessions i do and finishing each with a few lengths of the competition pool, Then after i have dropped down some weight i will go on to some more heavy duty weight training so that i can bulk up fast. 

Its not going to be easy so i wanted to make this Blog so that i can show to myself that i will see a difference in my body shape and my health while i work out, At least then i can show all of you just how simple it can be to do the same as i hope to do and you can follow me along my progress on a day to day basis. 

Each day i aim to post a body shot of how i look starting on the 1st of febuaryand also a little information on how im feeling both while i work out and afterwards so you can see along with me just how my fitness improves.
