I am Sheamus - Very Personal Development

Hi. I see you're new here. That's cool. To find out what this site is about, please read this page. You may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. It's free, you won't receive any spam from me (like, ever), but more importantly: you'll never miss a single word. Thanks for visiting!

I mentioned previously that I’ve put myself on a fairly strict new diet.

The early results are in - after 10 days, I’ve lost 7 pounds. Which is half a stone if you’re British, or a shade over three kilos if you’re one of our European friends.

That’s not bad; not bad at all.

I actually think I’ve lost around 10 pounds of fat. I’ve been hitting the gym hard during this too and feel like I’ve gained one or two pounds back there. Previous to this I’d taken almost a month off, and as a fairly seasoned gym visitor my muscle memory tends to kick in fast when I go back after a layoff.

Opening results on any new eating regime are always high and it would be folly to expect this kind of pace to continue. I plan to be on this for 50 days, and my primary goals are:

1. Fat loss, both in weight and overall bodyfat
2. Muscular gain
3. For my abdominals to become clearly visible

I’m only weighing myself once every 10 days; the next update is due on May 25.

I expect to be around 165 pounds when this is all done. I’m currently 180.

The diet is reasonably straight forward. It’s modelled on the low GI program that is quite popular at the moment, coupled with a very high protein intake. Calories average out around 2000-2300 per day.

The gym workout takes less than 25 minutes, four times per week.

I’ll keep you updated on my progress, and in the next week or two will provide a lot more detail about the plan. I’m keeping a full journal of all my nutrition and will publish that, and have some before and after photos, probably in the next 10 days.
