small fork, small plate... I use my shovel hands to eat and don't bother with forks! Nice ideas though keep them coming please. I do play Badminton Walesboy, unless ofc I have cramp again which normally happens. I plan to play it yearly and also to walk 3-4 times a week to the local take-away Posted by GREGHOGG
Hi Sweetie Pie Greg or is that Hogg.! Just popped in to give you some more tips.?
Running or jogging is good exercise but the Council will charge you for all the broken pavement slabs. So I recommend Swimming, the water will hold up your heavy body weight and exercise all the limbs. However there is the water displacement to think about and the children using you as a floating inflatable whale to climb on.? Mid-night exercise is out of the question as the hospital would think your wife was run over by a steam road roller. So its power walking for you at the minute, big strides arms flailing clutching dumbbells. lots more tips to come. ? I could be your personal trainer. ??

Well I had a lovely and healthy homemade tomato soup for dinner lads, bit of bread and butter on the side. How about yourselves? Posted by TommyD
Couldn't get to the store today so doing my healthy shopping tomorrow/today.
Today I had a bowl of cereal, 2x slices of Ryvita, 2x apples and for dinner I had a few slices of home made ham, beetroot, coleslaw and some oven chips.
In Response to Re: The Bulkroll Challenge 2012 - Dylan Versus GregHogg : had porridge for breakfast, salad and brown bread rolls for lunch, and a chicken jalfrezi, pliau rice and naan bread for dinner...oh and two cobra beers, gotta celebrate the brother in laws birthday innit... I did do about 1/2 hours brisk walking too! Posted by GREGHOGG
If you do it on that website I provided a link for you can see how many calories you've eaten and it will inform you if you're eating too many or too few.
Bad news your both still as big as a House............ good news House prices are rising. ? Are you taking this seriously Hogg! Posted by logdon
Yes I am
I had a bit of a shock this morning when i stepped on the scales. No, it didn't say "ONE AT A TIME PLEASE", but it did say 19 stone 10 pounds!! aargh
So, today I hae eaten only healthy things so far. I had a muller rice for breakfast and 2 bananas, and some carrots for lunch. For tea I will hae a quorn cottage pie (£1 from Asda) and its only 200 calories and hardly any fat.
I also walked briskley to and from work about 1/2 hour in the driving rain!
My next target is to get to 19 stone, which i hope to achieve within the next two weeks.
I can't wait to get my first gold star from Tommy. I saw him afterwards last night and it wasnt pleasent. I must be a good boy from now on innit
Today I ate porridge for brekkie, mid-morning I had an apple, I had a tuna, mayo and spring onion sandwich for lunch followed by an alpen bar and a bunch of grapes. Mid afternoon I had a bananna. For dinner I had a chicken br3ast, broccoli, scoop of mashed potato, carrotts and some gravy (Bisto). I have some low fat yougurt in the fridge, may have that later if peckish.
I am really struggling with the excersise part tbh, I read Greg has some brisk walks, I don't even do that, I don't have the motivation for it for some reason, sounds stupid I know because I should be full of beans and be all keen to walk/jog, but im not. I need to sort this.
Poker wise, I have not played much so can't judge whether the change of diet is affecting me or not.

I'm lucky that i don't drive which means i much walk everywhere, as i cant afford taxis. My walk to work each day, i am doing quicker, and I am also making a conscious effort to use the stairs only at my office where the temptation exists to use the lift to go up two flights of stairs!
Dylan, im sorry you feel like your struggling a little... I don't think the excerise is as crucial as the diet in the early stages of this challenge. If you cut out the fatty stuff and consume less calories than your body naturally burns, you will lose weight anyway, and this will motivate you to start exercising. Why not suggest a game of badminton, tennis or squash with a friend as a starter? Jogging/walking solo is pretty boring unless there is a purpose to your trip.

I also take the stairs instead of the lift, but I always did this anyway.
I may look into doing some squash, I have to drive half an hour to get a game though but playing badminton is an option - although I have no clue how to play it!
The leisure industry plays a part in my work so I will look at asking these colleagues for their advice as well as I know some of them would genuinly like to help me out.
Dylan You can still exercise playing poker sat down. How, well cut down on the tables you play so when you fold your 72 o you have time to put your hands under the seat you are sitting on, pull up as if to lift yourself up off the ground at the same time push your feet down on the floor. Do this as often as you can till next hand then repeat every time you fold. Change it to trying to touch the ceiling then your shoulders if you get fed up with that link hands and pull against each other, fed up with that put each hand on respective knee and do a treadle step up down up down pushing against the knee lifting. Not quite a six mile run but better than nothing and you still get to play poker. win win Hugs x
Dylan, i am sure Tikay would take you for a nice long nature walk!
In all seriousness Dylan, exercise can be a bit boring at times but trust me, you feel better for it. Even just after exercising, you body releases endorphothingies that give you a natural buzz. Just get off you bottom and take yourself off somewhere nice and have a little 3 or 4 mile walk. You must have something near where you live. Example, i live in Skipton in Yorkshire, its on the Leeds/Liverpool canal so me and the missus sometimes walk along there. There are Skipton woods, lovely in the spring when things are coming to life (and the odd deer if your early enough) but even better in the snow! The Lakes are only an hour away, the 3-peaks 40 mins away. There will be something near you. Get a local books and get yourself off somewhere, it sounds boring, i used to play football and if someone said i would enjoy walking when i knocked it on the head i would have laughed but there is something to be said about putting in some hard work and getting a glimpse of something spectacular when you get there.
When i gave up playing, i put weight on, not loads but enough for me to grow concerned, so i bought myself a bicycle and started going the 5 mile to work and 5 mile back again every day and the weight has fallen away and now i can go for 30 to 40 miles no problem on a Sunday morning, on my own, peace and quiet, over the hills of Yorkshire. Its great.
Basically, (i am rambling again, sorry) there will be something out there for you and it isnt necessarily the thing you think. At the moment, you have a blank page, use the opportunity to try new things and meet new people. You like squash and badminton, what about martial arts? Boxing training? Gym classes? Jogging? Cycling? Swimming? You may find some of these amusing, but seriously, just try a few and see which ones you enjoy.
Message from my missus, for exercise seriously get into walking. Posted by TommyD
She's got a good point. I lost a stone and a half during my end-to-end, which was essentially a glorified pub crawl during which I lived off beer, bar meals and fast foods.
