A Little goes a long way... Well that's the plan.

As I've stated, I want to bulk up a little without doing too much.
I've never really been one for exercise and diet, up until now I've always thought I was in pretty good shape.
Because of this I have no idea what i am doing, this 3 month plan is an experiment if anything.

I have friends back home that have necks as thick as my waist, albeit these people are "getting help". But I want to see how much bigger someone can get from as little change to their lifestyle as possible.
I'm not trying to become a bodybuilder, or doing this to impress anyone. This is simply for me to get the body I want. Toned, slightly visible six-pack and bigger arms. Sounds easy, but only time will tell.

Before I decided to do this challenge the only form of exercise I did was walking.
2 miles in the morning (In to work) and 2 miles in the evening (on my way home).

I provide IT support to a 3 story building with 300 users, so my job means I walk around all day fixing issues.
I very rarely keep still for long. Mix this with only having 1 meal a day and you get a very thin Neil (That's me).

I'm not on a diet, my foods are not always going to be the healthier choice. I'm just going to be swapping items like Bread, Pasta and Rice for wholemeal versions and making sure I have at least 3 meals a day.
My water intake in the past was non-existent, I now drink 3 litres a day
I'm not giving up takeaways or alcohol. This has always been a part of my lifestyle, the new additions are what I'm hoping will change my physique.

Yesterday looked like this:
9:30 - 4 rashers of bacon, 4 slices of granary toast


11:30 - Small workout
25 Crunches
25 Deep knee bends
25 push-ups
25 extended leg raises

12:30 - Cheese Sandwich with granary bread, 70mg/125ml Protein shake.

13:30 - 5 chicken strips, fries and coke (McDonalds chicken select meal).

18:00 - Large portion of Spaghetti Bolognese (with fresh minced beef, not frozen).

7:30 - 3 cans of lager


For most people that seems like a normal day, but for a runt like me that's a greedy one.
