Okay, so last week was a bit manic, and things didn't go according to plan. The whole world was against me starting my new regime of dieting and exercise - including electronics failing on me, friends inviting me out, and, most of all, my own lack of self discipline.
The weekend was fuelled with going out with friends and gorging on lasagne, pizza, chocolate, wine, fizzy drinks, nuts, cakes - oh my word it was a gluttonous fest. I loved it. No, wait, I didn't. Aaaargh I'm so confused.
Anyway, I decided that Monday I would start afresh. Cut down on my intake, increase my exercise from nil to something, and monitor the progress. I’m sick of seeing all these “I Got Ripped in 4 Weeks” ads – they all look really, really fake – are they even the same people? – but I want to slim myself down.
Well, I started monitoring anyway... This is what I took in, foodwise:
Breakfast:
1 glass of water
Mid morning:
1 glass of water
Alpen cereal bar (Fruit, nut, chocolate)
Lunch:
3 finger rolls with liver pate and lettuce
Afternoon:
Cadbury's Boost
Handful of grapes
Apple
Early Evening:
1 Chocolate yogurt
Dinner:
2 slices of Margherita pizza
1 jacket potato with cheese
1 glass of water
Little tub of (3) Profiteroles
Later On...
50g plain chocolate
500g Ben and Jerry's Chocolate Fudge Brownie
So, there was some good in there, and some very, very bad. A full tub of Ben and Jerry's? Naughty. What's worse, though, is that I know that there is another one in the freezer. That's what happens when ASDA does a "2 for £3" deal. Damn them.
I tried to increase my portions of fruit intake, again from nil - I managed two of my five a day. That's okay, I guess.
Exercise? Yeah, that didn't happen. But I've got a (fairly) legitimate excuse - I've got this awful pain in my side - feels like I've been broadsided by a truck. In actual fact, I think that I've been 'kneed' in my side by my wife when asleep, but, naturally, she's denying all knowledge of it.
Anyway, I did put on the Wii, just to get an overview of where I am and what I need to do. Here's the results:
Days since last on Wii Fit: 107 (oops!)
Current Weight: 13.13 stone (approx 183lbs)
Change since last session: +7lbs
BMI: 33.23 (Extremely Obese)
I've set a goal of losing 3lbs every week for the next 6 months - I want to lose a stone and a half (around 24lbs).
Okay, so again, a quick overview - I'm going to try to keep to this format of overview regularly:
Exercise:
Type / Length of time:
NA / 00:00
Fruit intake:
2 / 5
It looks like I've got a lot of work to do, and a lot of self-discipline will be needed. I'm going to need to seriously cut down on junk food intake, increase fruit and veg intake, and do exercise. The plan is to do twenty minutes on the exercise bike daily, and then half an hour of activities on Wii Fit.
That was Monday. This is Tuesday. I am the Dieting Man. I WILL SUCCEED!
Your support would be very much appreciated.

The Man Diet - Day 19 - Thursday 24th August 2007
Alrighty There People!
Well, let me tell you this - it's Thursday. Anyone who reads this regularly knows what Thursday means... gulp...
Another eventless day at work. I'll not bore you with the details.
On to today's incomings:
07:00 - 2 Weetabix with semi skimmed milk
09:00 - 1 glass of water
11:00 - 1 glass of water
12:20 - Two white bread rolls with tuna
13:00 - 1 glass of water
13:45 - 1 glass of water
13:50 - 1 breakaway (chocolate...)
15:05 - 1 glass of water
15:45 - 1 glass of water
17:00 - Pizza and chips
21:00 - Macaroni cheese
So that was that. Fortunately, no chocolate at the Grandmother-in-law's tonight, so I was saved. But I did have to have some Mac Cheese. I'll try to resist that next week...
Until tomorrow,
Adios!

Monday 19th March 2007
Arighty There People!
Well, it's Monday. The exercise bike is now out of the spare room, and in the passage. Unfortunately, I have not had the time to go on it yet - I had planned on going on it this evening, but I didn't get in from work until 6.15, and I had loads to do, which included updating a website, and watching two episodes of Prison Break... I'm going to try and go on tomorrow night, even though I generally don't get in until 9.30 on a Tuesday. Mind you, it's only twenty/thirty minutes that I need to do...
I've also decided that I'm going to walk to work twice a week. It's not too far, only about half an hour, but it's quite hilly, so should be good for me. More exercise is the key to losing more weight!
Mind you, I haven't weighed myself at all recently, probably due to the fact that I don't think I have lost any weight! Saying that, my watch has become slack recently - but who wants to lose weight on their wrist???!
Anyway, on to today's incomings...:
07:15 - Frosties with semi skimmed milk
09:42 - 1 small cup of water
11:22 - 1 small cup of water
11:40 - 2 brown bread rolls, with tuna and pineapple - nice
12:20 - Cadbuy's Caramel
14:20 - 1 small cup of water
15:45 - 1 small cup of water
18:20 - 3 mini coconut bites
20:45 - Pizza and chips
20:55 - Orange juice
22:30 - A few spoonfuls of Ben and Jerry's ice cream...
Okay, so I know that today wasn't fantastic, but I will improve tomorrow - I'm not going to eat ANY chocolate, biscuits, cakes or anything like that... I WILL eat the orange that I know is sat on my desk... and I WILL go on my exercise bike sometime before I go to bed!
Anyway, looking at sponsorship - I could really do with some sponsorship, or even some simple support! Come on people, let me hear your encouragement! I reckon I could easily get sponsorship from Cadbury's or someone like that, but that would kinda be against the whole dieting thing... So someone like Springs Healthclub or something would be absolutely fantastic. So if you're reading, Springs, (or someone who works there!), get in touch!
Anyway, until tomorrow,
Adios!

Day 20 - Saturday 11th February 2007
Alrighty There People!
Well, I think that I am finally overcoming Man Flu. It's taken longer than I expected, but I think I am there. And, in the same way that I was victorious in my fight against the flu, I will win against the weight...
Okay, I know you're dying to know, so today's incomings were:
09:30 - Coco Pops with semi skimmed milk
09:35 - Muller Drink
15:00 - 2 Dutch Crispbakes (one with tuna, one plain)
18:00 - Pizza and Smiles
18:15 - Tropical Juice
19:00 - Double chocolate muffin :)
23:30 - Hot Chocolate
Okay, I know the Double Chocolate Muffin isn't really going to help... but it's to help the mind, if you know what I mean... I've been addicted to chocolate for years - it's a habit that I need to break gently!
Until tomorrow,
Adios!
