The Man Diet - Day 20 - Friday 25th August 2007

Alrighty There People!

Today was fantastic. After a stressful day at work, I decided to go out on the bike. So I pedalled down to the running track, and did 5 laps of the track. Now, that may not seem like a lot to you, and from leaving the house to getting back only half an hour elapsed, but I felt overjoyed. I really felt as though I had accomplished something, and I would like to do this more often. I'm definitely going to be getting out on my exercise bike more frequently, and I may even make the running track a regular Friday night thing.

Also, I started The Special K diet today. So, one bowl for breakfast, one for lunch, and normal dinner. Can it work for me? I can but try...

On, then, to today's incomings:

07:00 - Special K with semi skimmed milk

09:00 - 1 glass of water

10:10 - 1 banana

11:20 - 1 Snack a jack

11:50 - 1 Snack a jack

12:20 - Special K with semi skimmed milk

14:10 - 1 glass of water

14:20 - 1 McFlurry

15:20 - 1 glass of water

15:30 - 1 apple

21:00 - Baked potato and pasta

Okay, so, apart from the McFlurry (which I had to do, because it was Friday...) I think that today went really well. I was absolutely STARVING by the time I had my dinner, because it was so late, but I was determined not to snack. I drank plenty of water today, including when I was on my bike ride.

If I keep this up, I could get slim - at last!

Until tomorrow,

Adios!

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!

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!

The Man Diet - Day 17 - Tuesday 21st August 2007

Alrighty There People!

Not a lot to report today, so I'll do it nice and quick...

07:00 - 2 Weetabix with semi skimmed milk

09:15 - 1 glass of water

10:30 - 1 glass of water

12:30 - Potatoe and leek soup (really filling)

13:20 - 1 glass of water

16:00 - 1 glass of water

Can't remember what I had for dinner. I don't think I had much. In fact, I didn't eat much all day today. Not much water, no fruit, no snacks - fantastic! Apart from not eating fruit, that is...

I reckon I might try the Special K diet...

Until tomorrow,

Adios!

The Man Diet - Day 16 - Monday 20th August 2007

Alrighty There People!

Well, the diet was weird today. It started really well, then ended with me buying a car, buying a leather sofa, then going to Pizza Hut. For some extremely un-dieting food.

So here's how the day unfolded:

07:20 - Weetabix with semi skimmed milk

08:50 - 1 glass of water

10:45 - 1 glass of water

11:15 - Mars bar (where did that come from?)

12:10 - Two white bread rolls, with tuna

13:00 - 1 glass of water

14:00 - 2 tangerines (yay, healthy food!)

14:10 - 1 glass of water

17:00 - 2 cokes, ham and pineapple pizza (deep pan), garlic bread and profiteroles. Noooooo!

21:00 - Mocha and a bit of brownie

So, it wasn't too bad, apart from the fact that I had a Mars bar and then went to Pizza Hut. But let me tell you about my purchases! New car (Ford Fiesta, 1.4TDCi Zetec), to be picked up on Saturday. (BTW, anyone wanna buy my Nissan Almera? 2.2SDi Turbo - nice car...) Then I bought a sofa, chocolate leather, from Harveys, they had a sale on. Fantastic. Pay rise please!

Anyway, I'll keep you posted with my dieting results. I didn't take any pics today, you'll have to wait - I'm keeping off the scales for a bit, maybe the next time I get on them I will feel better...

Until tomorrow,

Adios!

Day 10 - Friday 10th August 2007

Alrighty There People!

Wait til you hear about what I did tonight! Okay, I can't wait to tell you. I got home from work, and the grass in the garden was long. I mean, really long. I last cut it the day that I went on holiday - 7th July - and it was overgrown. I mean, there were tigers living in there... So anyway, I haul out the lawnmower, and start on the front lawn. It's heavy going. I had to empty the box after doing 1 'lane'. Anyway, I finally manage to get the whole area done, but it was still long. So I did it again.

Then I went out the back, to the bigger garden. Again, I had to do it twice. TWICE! I nearly broke more than a sweat, I tell you! THEN, because I'm planning on selling the car (any offers? Nice car...), I took it to the garage and gave it a wash. 15 minutes on the jet wash, THEN chamois it down. My arm was absolutely killing me!

So I felt that I did a great deal of exercise tonight.

Anyway, on to today's incomings:

07:40 - 2 Weetabix with semi skimmed milk

08:45 - 1 glass of water

10:50 - 1 glass of water

12:30 - 2 ham and cucumber white rolls

13:30 - 2 tangerines

15:10 - 1 glass of water

16:35 - 1 glass of water

16:40 - 1 banana

21:00 - Pasta

So that was today. I was well impressed with myself, both with what I ate and what I did. On to a good nights sleep!

Remember - no blogging over the weekend - so until Monday,

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!

Day 07 - Tuesday 7th August 2007

Alrighty There People!

Well, today started with another negative: Plonked myself on the scales, and still teetering between 13.5 and 14 stone. COME ON! Why won't the weight start coming off? Cheesh.

It's not as if I'm eating really unhealthily. Okay, I could be eating better... and I could be doing more exercise - but I'm taking the stairs! I'm doing press ups! Okay, okay, I need to be on the exercise bike as well.

Don't worry people, I'm not going mad, I just need to be harsh with myself at times...

Okay, on to today's incomings:

07:30 - 2 Weetabix with semi skimmed milk (Maybe I should change to Corn Flakes? Or Special K?)

08:30 - 1 glass of water

11:30 - 1 glass of water

12:30 - 2 white bread rolls, with corned beef and cucumber

13:00 - 1 glass of water

13:10 - Mini Toblerone and Cadbury's Dairy Milk (Groan... that's why I'm not losing weight - stop going to the shops at lunchtime, fool!)

14:00 - 1 glass of water

14:30 - 1 glass of water

15:00 - 1 glass of water

16:00 - 1 apple

18:00 - Potatoes, steak and onion pasty, peas

18:20 - Yogurt

22:00 - Hot chocolate and ginger biscuits

I know, I know - I'm wondering why I'm not losing weight, and I'm scoffing chocolate and biscuits. But hey, check out my water consumption! Nice.

Scales below.

Until tomorrow,

Adios!

Day 06 - Monday 6th August 2007

Alrighty There People!

Well, it's been a while since I blogged, hasn't it. I know that I've got a bit to catch up on, but keep reading and it should be up to date quite quickly. It's actually now Monday 20th August, but don't let that put you off - I've kept good records!

This day started with me rising early and taking the wife to work. Then I lashed to my office and bounded - okay, maybe I exagerated slightly - walked - up to the fourth floor. That's six sets of steps, with 8 stairs in each set. Oh yes. I must admit, though, that each day that I do this, it gets easier. I do this twice a day - I refuse to take the lift - and it's getting easier. Not to mention the 40 press ups I do every morning - they're very easy now - I need to consider upping the ante on that score.

Anyway, on to today's incomings:

07:30 - 2 Weetabix with semi skimmed milk

09:10 - 1 glass of water

11:10 - 1 glass of water

11:20 - 1 apple

12:20 - 2 white bread rolls with corned beef and cucumber

13:00 - 1 glass of water

13:30 - 1 glass of water

21:50 - 1 large cookie

22:00 - Sweet and sour chicken with white rice

23:00 - Ben and Jerry's ice cream.

Okay, now you may be wondering why I had dinner so late. Here's what happened.

I finished work at 5.15. I went to pick my wife up from work, she finished at 6. We were both shattered. I said to her, "When we get home, let's go to bed and have a twenty minute nap. I'm not going to go on the sofa, I'm going to go to bed." She agreed, we both needed to have a refreshing nap. So we get home at about twenty past six, spend twenty minutes getting stuff sorted, and go to bed. I set my alarm on my phone for 7:10 - actually allowing half an hour. Jen wasn't impressed - she wanted more. We both turned our phones off so that we wouldn't be disturbed by messages and calls. Within seconds, or so it felt, my alarm went off. I turned it off. The next thing we know, it's dark, it's half nine, and our twenty minute nap had lasted three hours!

We obviously both needed the sleep, but it really felt like the evening had been wasted. In fact, we just wanted to go back to sleep, but we were both pretty hungry.

Let's hope that tomorrow is better!

Scale image below - it hasn't improved yet :(

Until tomorrow,

Adios!

Monday 12th March 2007

Alrighty There People!

Well, today was a bit of a disaster... what with me not having enough time to make lunch for work, I ended up going to Greggs - always a mistake! It has been really busy today, my back has been killing all day, and I've been naughty with my food... Take a look at this:

07:30 - Frosties with semi skimmed milk

08:30 - Water (Seaton Spring - sponsorship please? I drink this water all day long!)

09:42 - Water (Seaton Spring - sponsorship please? I drink this water all day long!)

10:30 - Water (Seaton Spring - sponsorship please? I drink this water all day long!)

12:00 - Brown bread, sliced, tuna and cucumber - but from Greggs. Loads of fat in that!

12:30 - Fudge donut - noooooooooooooo!

12:40 - Cadbury's Twirl - can it get any worse? I'm afraid so!

13:20 - Water (Seaton Spring - sponsorship please? I drink this water all day long!)

15:00 - Water (Seaton Spring - sponsorship please? I drink this water all day long!)

16:00 - Water (Seaton Spring - sponsorship please? I drink this water all day long!)

17:20 - Macaroon. So nice, but at the same time, so bad...

20:20 - Pizza, nice, and... chips... from... McDonalds! Nooooooo!

20:30 - Glass of genuine tap water

22:00 - Muller yogurt - the chocolate crunch corner one! Aaaargh!

So... let's see... I got my lunch from Greggs, which is a big no no, I also got a cake from Greggs. Then, I got chocolate whilst at work, came home, had a macaroon, and then Pizza and chips. Diet? What diet? This is a junk food diet! Oh man, I need to SERIOUSLY get my act together.

Okay, this week, I'm getting on the exercise bike. I AM!!!

Until tomorrow,

Adios!

Sunday 11th March 2007

Alrighty There People!

Well, today I woke up tired, sore and hungry. I was absolutely wrecked from all the exertion - physical and mental - of the day before. Unfortunately, I did not keep an accurate record of my intake today, but it went something like this:

Morning: Frosties with semi skimmed milk

Lunchtime: Two slices of toast, one with Peanut Butter, one with Nutella (if they want to sponsor me on this diet - not sure how that would work - but please, I welcome you!)

Dinner: Lamb steaks, yorkshire puddings, potatoes and peas. Followed by an extremely naughty but nice Chocolate Brownie. Mmmm. Was gonna have some red wine too, but forgot to take it out of the fridge. Ooops.

Anyway, that's the weekend over, maybe the coming week will add stability to my diet.
I know I've lapsed a bit, but I am determined to keep up with this!

Until tomorrow,

Adios!
