Students with a few lbs to shed

Firstly, a bit about me;
I am your average university student who doesn't eat properly and will choose a packet of crisps over cooking up a home made meal. I'm also a novice rower, I started 2 months ago, and we train 6 times a week! You'd be forgiven if you think the 2 cancel each other out! They don't. The bad diet far outweighs the burning of calories! Plus I'm also building muscle! 

So this weekend we had a "weigh in" and to be categorised as a "Light weight" rower you need to be under 61.5 kg. I'm 5ft 2 and I weighed in at 62.9kg which meant I would have to compete against people who are 6ft, who have an obvious advantage over me.

I've started this blog, and this diet to help me track my progress and to keep my progress on track. I started my diet on Monday and this is my aim up until January the 1st

- Cut out all crisps/chocolates/sweets (But being a student I'm not usually very productive, so I have used the incentive "Cross one thing off the to-do list = have a biscuit)

- Drink at leat 2L of water a day (I was seen by a physio when I was 14 and  he told me I was severly dehydrated, I can't see that I've improved much since then)

- No calorie consumption after 7pm, unless it's a special occasion (I have a boat club christmas dinner coming up, and it starts at 8! Typical!)

Those are what I'm going to stick to for now, Then I shall track my weight and if I'm not on target on the 1st of January, then I shall begin a low carb diet. I will then weigh myself a week before the next weigh in, and if I'm still a bit over then I shall be using a meal replacement shake, only for that week, just to shed that weight.

That's it! That's all I have to say really, I'm not a pro blogger, I'm not even that good with words so I'm sorry if this blog made you cringe!
