#63 - 50:50:500 Redux

Written 1st July 2017

This is a tale of failure and renewed determination.

Last year, I came up with a weight loss plan that seemed simple enough to follow and should, in theory, have produced some dramatic results within a year.

That year has now been and gone, and I’m heavier than I was when I started.

So what went wrong?

Mostly, me.

My head simply wasn’t in the game. As some of you already know, 2016 was my annus horribilis. It was a fucking disaster, and I never really recovered my momentum afterwards.

But today is the 1st of July.

Today, I feel motivated.

So today, I start again.

Move enough to burn 500 calories.
Eat meals capped at 500 calories.
Repeat the process for 50 weeks.

If I can be 50kg lighter by the end of June 2018, I’ll have achieved something that has eluded me since I last lost that sort of weight back in 2003.

Don’t wish me luck.

Just send good thoughts from time to time.

Until next time,

adieu.
