Over the course of the next months I am going to carry out an observational experiment and chart how (if at all) I manage to get fitter. I took a rather candid photo of myself a couple of days ago with the intention of putting it up here on the blog. To my surprise, the photo doesn’t show the body of an Adonis, it seems to show a slightly skinny bloke with scrawny legs and the essence of a beer belly. Rather than subject the internet to this picture, I am going to save it for a future blog entry where I can show the me of now with the superfit me of the future. (I might also sell the photos to the sort of marketing people who advertise fitness machines on satellite TV late at night.)
I am also going to chart how my weight and body mass index change through the coming months. The Wii Fit will do this for me, and every few days I weigh in and the console records my stats. I realise that muscle tissue is heavier than fat tissue, so I am assuming that my weight and BMI will initially drop as I burn off the fat deposits over the first month or so but then, as muscle is laid down my weight will go up and my BMI will go from normal to overweight.
As of last night I was 68.5kgs with a BMI of 22.37
