The Man Diet - Day 18 - Wednesday 22nd August 2007

Alrighty There People!

Not much to report again today. When I look in the mirror, I still look fat. But I don't know how I look compared to when I first started this, way back in January. Granted, I haven't kept to it the way that I should have, but it would be nice to think that I may have lost *some* weight...

Anyway, on to today's incomings:

07:00 - Weetabix x 2 and semi skimmed milk

08:30 - 1 glass of water

10:25 - 1 glass of water

12:30 - Ham and cheese baguette

13:55 - 1 glass of water

16:10 - 1 glass of water

18:00 - Lamb, potatoes, turnip

18:30 - Cadbury's Button yogurt

21:30 - Hot chocolate

22:20 - KitKat

I don't think that today was too bad, really. I think, on a scale of 1 to 10, I give myself... 6.5 Not bad! But there's always room for improvement...

Until tomorrow,

Adios!

Day 08 - Wednesday 8th August 2007

Alrighty There People!

Well, I had planned on going out on my bike after work, or at least going on my exercise bike... but I didn't. Why? Well... I just didn't. You know what it is though, you've spent the full day working, whether that's in the office, out and about or whatever. You come home, get changed (cos who wants to stay in their work clothes? Ugh), either get dinner ready, or, if it's ready, eat it. Then what? Options available: Go on the exercise bike. Go out on the bike. Watch a DVD. Go on the PlayStation. Go on the Wii. Come on, what do you think wins? Put it this way, it's not the exercise options. BUT IT SHOULD BE! That's what I need to get into my head. I shouldn't think, "Ah, sit down, get comfortable, let that meal just build up layers and layers of fat..." I should be thinking "NO! BURN that fat! SLIM that waist! PUT that Wiimote down - GET out their and RIDE!"

THAT is the attitude that I need.... Ah, soon, soon...

On to today's incomings:

07:30 - 2 Weetabix and semi skimmed milk

09:00 - 1 glass of water

10:00 - 1 glass of water

11:20 - 1 glass of water

12:30 - 1 glass of water

13:00 - Ham and cheese baguette (from Greggs...)

13:10 - Fudge donut (noooo! Greggs! EVIL!)

13:30 - 1 glass of water

14:30 - Banana

15:30 - 1 glass of water

16:10 - 1 glass of water

16:40 - 1 apple

I didn't write down what I had for dinner... but it wouldn't have been bad. Too bad.

Check out the scales below. Rubbish.

Until tomorrow,

Adios!

Tuesday 20th March 2007

Alrighty There People!

What a day, a very long day. Early start, late finish, lots to do in between.... Intake was... well, you'll see.

And I'm ashamed to say that I did not go on the exercise bike - I was going to, but I was so shattered that I couldn't bring myself around to it. So instead I watched Prison Break... Ooops.

But tomorrow I will definitely go on it, I am determined to, and I shall make time for it. And when my sponsorship comes through from any gym, I'll be ready! (Hint hint hint...)

Anyway, today's incomings went something like this...:

07:15 - Frosties with Semi skimmed milk

08:27 - 1 glass of water

09:15 - 1 glass of water

10:43 - 1 glass of water

11:25 - 1 glass of water

11:30 - 1 Snack A Jack. Never thought I would like them, but it was okay...

12:40 - 2 white bread rolls with Cheese and cucumber

12:45 - 1 hazelnut yogurt

12:50 - 1 cherry bakewell (it's kinda fruit...)

14:38 - 1 smoothie (strawberry, berries, other mixed fruit...)

15:25 - 1 glass of water

16:39 - 1 glass of water

17:45 - Macaroni cheese, chips, and corn on the cob

17:50 - 1 glass of orange juice

21:50 - 1 glass of chocolate Yazoo

21:00 - 2 Weight Watchers biscuits

22:00 - Caramel shortbread

Okay, so today wasn't brilliant - I wasn't exactly an angel in my food consumption. However, I do feel that I am getting better - I'm cutting down on the rubbish that I eat, and drinking more water. It's the evenings that get me, sitting down, watching Prison Break, eating junk. Maybe I should sit down with an orange or a banana or something.

I need to make some more smoothies too - I think that they are an acquired taste though - they're really thick and have bits in them. My problem, too, is that I drink them as a meal, whereas really they're supposed to be a replacement - you know, have a smoothie for breakfast, or have a smoothie for lunch. Not ha/ve breakfast then have a smoothie, because then really you're having two breakfasts, which is rubbish for a dieting person. Like me.

Anyway, I may weigh myself tonight, I might even post some more pictures - you know like I said initially, that I would post them daily? Kinda fell out of that habit didn't I... I'll try again.

Anyway, until tomorrow...

Adios!

Wednesday 14th March 2007

Alrighty There People!

Another day, another dollar... or summat like that :)

Well, today was a usual day at work, followed by a shopping trip (which naturally incorporated a diversion to Diet Hell, McDonald's...) Read on!

07:30 - Frosties and semi skimmed milk

08:45 - 1 small cup of refreshing work water (still awaiting that sponsorship...)

09:30 - 1 small cup of refreshing work water

10:30 - 1 small cup of refreshing work water

10:50 - Bounty - that beautiful chocolate and coconut combination that is so bad... but so good...

12:30 - 2x Brown bread rolls, filled with cheese and cucumber

12:40 - 1 Macaroon (naughty, naughty...)

14:10 - 1 small cup of refreshing work water

15:05 - 1 small cup of refreshing work water

16:00 - 1 small cup of refreshing work water

17:00 - 1 Cheeseburger, a couple of chips, and a small bit of Pepsi...

19:00 - A handful of mini creme eggs - but they're sooooo nice!

22:00 - Plate of pasta

22:15 - 1 glass of red wine

23:00 - 3/4 bar of Smart Price Chocolate. Seriously, have you tasted it? It's so nice, and at 25p a bar, really cheap (That's ASDA price...)

Okay, so let's analyse this... hmmm. Chocolate at work. McDonalds after work. Creme eggs whilst shopping. Chocolate whilst chilling. Erm, am I even ON a diet??!

Okay, so I need to work hard at this. Now, I've already said that motivation has been set in place, and basically I've got about three months to shed some serious sloth. So, before the end of the week (Sunday), the exercise bike will be out of hiding - at the moment, it's in the spare room, covered with loads of things. Yeah, real easy to use... So that's gonna come out, I'm gonna put it in the passage where I will see it everyday, and where my conscience will prick at me until I bleed to go on the infernal machine. And then I will lose weight.

Of course, added to that, I need to seriously curb some of my eating habits. Which will start... soon.
Remember the Epicureans? Their motto was "Eat, drink and be merry, for tomorrow we shall die." Thing is, cause of death was obesity... so how about "Eat Healthily, Drink Moderately, Exercise Regularly - And Tomorrow Will Be Another Day". Hmmm, not too catchy - any suggestions on that one?

Until tomorrow,

Adios!

Day 19 - Friday 9th February 2007

Alrighty There People!

Another day off work, recovering from Man Flu. I suppose that having Man Flu is, in effect, helping me lose weight, as I have completely lost my apetite. No food, no weight gain. No weight gain - excellent!

I need to take a tape measure to my waist, to see if I have indeed dropped any flab - that would be a very nice weekend present indeed :)

Anyway, following a long, deep sleep, I decided to rouse myself out of bed today, and here are today's incomings:

12:30 - Cocopops with Semi skimmed milk

12:40 - Black coffee

15:15 - Beans on toast, sprinkled with cheese... mmm

15:25 - 1 glass of water

15:30 - 1 Hazelnut yogurt

18:00 - 1 black coffee

19:00 - Potatoes, beef, peas, broccolli...

19:45 - Ice cream and jamaica cake....

22:00 - Hot chocolate

Okay, so having ice cream and cake isn't exactly conducive to losing weight... but I call it comfort food, to console me from my Man Flu :)

Until tomorrow,

Adios!

Day 13 - Saturday 3rd February 2007

Alrighty There People!

Well, Saturday's are always busy, and as such I don't have time to eat much, nor drink much. However, my main problem on a Saturday is my tendency to nip into a shop and buy a couple of bars of chocolate...

So how did I do today? Read on to find out...

09:00 - Shreddies with semi skimmed milk

09:15 - Muller drink

11:50 - Black coffee, 2 sugars

14:00 - Tortellini, pasta sauce, cheese (soooo delicious!)

14:15 - 1 glass of tropical juice

19:00 - 1 glass of orange juice, with vitamin C tablet, to fight off Man Flu, which is beginning to hold me with an almost deadly grip...

19:30 - Banana

20:15 - Chicken Korma and rice

20:30 - Ice cream...

23:00 - Black coffee, 2 sugars

So, that was today. Not bad, apart from the curry and ice cream. Like I mentioned, I'm starting to develop Man Flu - I woke up with a running nose, banging head ache and really bad sore throat. I'll let you know how that develops. I also acquired a "Smoothie Maker" today - I'll let you know how that goes when I use it tomorrow :)

Well, that's all folks - tomorrow I'm going to weigh myself, and take some pics. Don't expect too much tho!

Until tomorrow,

Adios!
