.I first attempted to purchase it in electronic format, but failing that (due to an odd inability to use my gift card,) I bundled LittleJohn into the car and we trekked down to the local bookstore to pick up a hard copy of the actual book. Well, the trade paperback size, anyway ;-)
I had created a SparkPeople.com profile months ago, but had neglected it for just as long, so I logged back in, reset my counters, and took new measurements.
Today I weigh 132.1 kg (aak!)
My waist is a shocking 106 cm around, and my hips a horrifying 150cm!
I'm aiming at bringing my weight down to 58kg. Part of me wonders if it's even possible to weigh that little (even though it's above my recommended BMI range for my height) because even at my fittest (which was, admittedly, overweight) in high school, I still weighed 81.5 kg.
My plan is to drink lots of water (at least 8 cups a day, which I will achieve with the aid of a 1 litre water bottle I intend to carry with me at all times,) eat my recommended daily number of servings (according to the Canada food guide,) and do a minimum 90 minutes of physical activity a week. Those are all the "introductory" steps recommended by SparkPeople.
I also intend to read my brand new book, and flesh out my plan further as I go ;-)
