Alrighty There People!
I had my choleseterol taken today. I don’t know anything about cholesterol, but mine was 5.95. Apparently, if it was 6, I would have been sent to the doctors. Fantastic. So, I was told that I mustn’t eat any junk – biscuits, cakes, etc etc. I was weighed in at 13.5 stone, and my waist measured an enormous 38.5inches. So I was not best pleased. I’m going back in December to see if I have improved at all, and meantime I’m really going to work hard. I think that now I’ve seen numbers down in writing, it’s hit hard that I need to do something about it.
So. Last night, I went to ASDA to do the shopping. The only thing I bought that I shouldn’t was a tub of Ben and Jerry’s Ice Cream – it was on offer for £2.00, and I couldn’t resist. But I steered clear of chocolate bars, biscuits, cakes, muffins, the lot. Instead, I headed for the fruit section, and got a bunch of bananas, five apples, five oranges, and a mango. I don’t even know what to do with a mango, but I thought it might be interesting.
Then, I got in (at quarter past eleven), and after putting the shopping away, climbed onto the exercise bike for ten minutes. After that, I hooked up the Wii, and started to do battle. Results below:
I went on the Fitness first: A round on the bags, a round of Power bowling, and a round of accuracy golf. My age? 22. Nice.
Then on to my 3 rounds on the bags:
Round 1: 19 bags
Round 2: 18 bags
Round 3: 35 bags
Yeah, that’s right – rounds one and two, I was just warming up. Check out the results on round 3. Rock on.
Confidently, I stepped into the ring, wondering who I would be facing first.
Fight One:
I was up against Eva. This was someone new, someone flexing their 1399 points against my 1289. I was raring to go. It had been a while since I had been in the ring, so was slightly apprehensive, but the adrenaline was coursing through my body. I started lashing out, hurtful blows that pulverised Eva. She only got about two jabs in to me. She was down, out cold – to the count of ten. Rock on! An easy victory, and 56 points to add to my belt.
Fight Two:
Now I was up against Jake, another n00b to me. He wielded his 1409 points with pride as he swaggered into the ring.
We started boxing. I knocked him down. He got up. He knocked me down. I boxed him to within an inch of going down, and the first round was over.
The second round started, and I flew in, a flurry of furious fists. He was down, out cold. He succumbed to my fists, and I gained another 68 points. End of the evening, and I was on 1413 points. Nice.
And thus I start with renewed vigour – exercise, diet, a whole new me.
Keep up!
Until tomorrow,
Adios!

The Dieting Man: Wii Boxing and The Special K Diet: Thursday 11th October 2007
Alrighty There People!
Thought I’d update you with the latest.
First of all, bad news. No milk and no Special K means that this morning’s breakfast was jam on toast.
More bad news: I didn’t go on the Wii last night – I’ve just been so shattered recently, that I’ve been going to bed mega early. Well, mega early for me, anyway.
I’ve just read this article on getting better sleep, so I’m going to put these into practice and see what happens…
Okay, onto the good news: I went on the exercise bike last night! Ten minutes. It’s been ages since I was last on it, so I took it easy – only just breaking a sweat. But I was checking out the ‘on board computer’ – sounds snazzy, but it’s not – and according to that I only burnt 7 calories. So how long would I need to go on to burn off an entire chocolate bar? Hours or days?!
More good news: I was talking to my wife last night about my weight, and saying that I want to go back down to 9 stone, which is what I was when we met. She wasn’t happy – she said that I was ‘a rake’ when we met, and the lowest she wants me to go is 11.5 stone. So that’s my goal: To lose 2.5 stone. Which doesn’t sound that bad really. Not compared to what some of these guys did in a short space of time…
So. From today, Thursday October 11th 2007, it’s no more junk food AT ALL. It’s going to be healthy food. No more coffee, hot chocolates, chocolate milkshakes or coffee mochas - it’s going to be lots of water and lots of smoothies. I’m going to try and eat 5 pieces of fruit and/or veg each day. I’m going to go on the exercise bike for at least ten minutes each day, no matter how wrecked I am, and I’m going to do Wii Boxing every day, again, regardless of how tired or exhausted I am. Nobody said that losing weight was going to be easy, and until now I’ve been just messing around. But I intend to get fit, keep fit, and lose some of this flab. Yeah!
And, of course, I’ll keep you posted.
Until tomorrow,
Adios!

The Dieting Man: Monday 24 September 2007: Wii Boxing and The Special K Diet
Alrighty There People!
Well, today was disastrous.
Firstly, I ran out of Special K. So it was Weetabix for breakfast, toast for lunch. But I nipped across to Sainsbury's and got some more Special K.
Then, because I was ABSOLUTELY WRECKED I didn't go on the Wii.
Tomorrow, I want a really early night, so not sure if I'll fit the Wii in - because on Wednesday I'm going to Alton Towers!
Cue lots of photos and video's being uploaded!
So I apologise in advance for not doing my fitness much this week!
If you're still reading this, or have just stumbled across it, just give me a shout below, let me know what you think of it all.
Cheers!
Until.... later!
Adios,

The Dieting Man: The Weekend: Wii Boxing
Alrighty There People!
I know I don't usually put my weekend habits up, but I thought I would just give you an insight into my Nintendo Wii activities over the weekend:
Saturday:
Wii Fitness: Age: 30
The Bags - Round 1: 28

Opponent's Points: 1253
Fight Outcome: Win
Points: 9 gained
End of activity points status: 1148
Sunday:

I can't believe that I lost both fights on Sunday! Maybe I need more training. Maybe it's because I'd been playing on the Wii for about an hour beforehand. Maybe it's because I'd had some wine. Maybe it's because I played rubbish.
I need to work on this.
Until tomorrow,

The Dieting Man: Friday 21 September: Wii Boxing and The Special K Diet
Alrighty There People!
Still going strong with this, although at times I find it a bit bland just eating Special K. Mind you, I've started adding banana chips to it - makes a lot of difference, very nice indeed.
I think I'm losing it a bit with the boxing though - I've reached a point where I can't seem to progress - in fact, whether I win or lose I seem to lose a few points - not many, but points are slowly chipping away... which is always a bad thing.
Anyway, on to today's Nintendo Wii Boxing:
The Bags:
Round 1: 28 bags
Round 2: 25 bags
Round 3: 30 bags
That wasn't a bad effort really, 25 is a bit low, but 28 and 30 is good - that is the kind of score I want to be getting every round. With my confidence boosted a tad, it was time to enter the ring...
Fight 1:
So here I am, in my corner, wielding 1127 points, when who should enter the ring - Rachel! Now, I know that this is only a game, but I still felt a slight twinge of guilt to be in the ring with a female opponent. But, she had 1211 points, she was there ready and willing, so I decided to go in fists flying. It wasn't a great match - I did win, but I lost 6 points. That made me angry. That meant that I was on 1121 to enter Fight 2...
Fight 2:
Rachel again! Okay, well, this time I had no qualms - a fight is a fight, and I was going to win. I went in, arms flailing, sweat pouring, heart pumping. I was defeated. It was awful. To see my Mii lying motionless on the floor, as the numbers ascended, was heartbreaking. To see the letters KO illuminate the screen, as my Mii lay in a deathlike state on the ring, was emotionally wrenching. To see Rachel steal 42 points from my score was the icing on the cake, the feather that broke the camel's back, the point where grief turned to rage. I would be back in the ring. I would fight again. I would smash any opponent I would meet.
And, I would lose weight.
Until Monday,
Adios!

The Dieting Man: Wii Boxing and The Special K Diet: 18th September 2007
Alrighty There People!
Well, after the shambles that dominated last night's Wii activity, I'm determined to do better today...
After a long and busy day (in which, yes, of course, I ate two bowls of Special K and not a great deal else), it was time to don the gloves (actually, pick up the Wii Mote and Nunchuk...) and enter the ring.
The Bags:
Round 1: 38
Round 2: 22
Round 3: 21
After an astonishingly flukey first round, I settled into a comfortable rhythm of doing really badly. I think I should be aiming for about 27+ for each round. Oh and I had done my Wii Fitness - and scored the ugly age of 45. Not good.
Grimly, I started the fights...
Fight One:
Saburo? Who on earth is Saburo? I thought I was entering the ring with a rally car.. With 1279 points against my 1198, the odds were again stacked up against me. I entered the ring, fists flying faster than than Bruce Lee's. He was an easy opponent, unworthy of 1279 points, and unworthy of my time and enemy. But for crying out loud why did the Powers that Wii take away seven points from me? I won the fight!
Angrily, I engaged Fight Two...
Fight Two:
Theo. Great, from bad to worse. I was against Theo and his 1285 points. I couldn't understand why, although I had LOST points, I was fighting an apparently stronger opponent. Who knows. Another reckless bout of desperately flailing arms, and I won again! But again, for some reason best left to microprocessors, I lost seven points.
So I ended the evening sweaty, having done rubbish at the bags, winning two fights but losing 14 points, and ending up with 1184.
Until tomorrow,
Adios!

The Dieting Man: Wii Boxing and The Special K Diet: 17th September 2007
Alrighty There People!
Oh. My. Word.
I can't believe it!
Let me start at the beginning. I was wrecked this morning, having had only 5 hours sleep. When I got into the kitchen, I realised that there was no milk. So no Special K for me today - not unless I wanted it dry. Or with water. Neither option appealed, so it was a slice of toast. With Nutella. Groan...
I got to work and was met with a banging headache. So I decided to work straight through lunch, and finish early. I was home at 3.15, with the intention of going straight to bed. Unfortunately, the cupboards were bare, so it was ASDA that I ended up going to. But I was in bed for 5.30. Having a wonderful, long awaited 90 minute snooze, it was up for dinner - a decent meal of bangers and mash, peas and sweet corn. Nice. Very nice.
I gave it a few hours, and decided that it was time to battle. I turned the Wii on, and started with the exercise program. My previous Age score glared at me. 62. Yeah, right. I battled through a series of Home Runs, Punch the Bag, and Golfing Accuracy skill sets, and hammered my age down to 25. Better. Considering I'm 26 :)
Then I tried my hand at the bags. Here's what happened:
The Bags - Round 1: 25 Bags
The Bags - Round 2: 18 Bags
The Bags - Round 3: 25 Bags
What on earth happened? I couldn't work it out. Somehow, I had lost my groove. 18 bags? That was criminal. I gave myself a severe talking to before entering the ring. I had to win!
Fight 1:
I entered the ring with 1149 points backing me up - but whimpered almost audibly when I faced Theo, a skinhead with 1227 points. Gulp. He was fast, ducking and diving my blows. But I was also ducking and diving his, and getting some fantastic punches in. He gave up the fight in round 2, giving me a glorious 29 points. I had a feeling, though, that I would be meeting up with Theo again in Fight 2...
Fight 2:
Theo. Staring me out from the far side. Bring it on. I raced towards him, face shielded, left arm packing powerful punches to his face and ribcage. Down. Like a sack of potatoes. Mouldy, squishy potatoes. He got up again. Silly. He knocked me down. Really silly. I ploughed into him like an express train hitting a cow at 140 mph. He didn't stand a chance. Down he went - permanently. His 1252 points were no match against The Dieting Man. He succumbed, passing 20 points onto me, which I quietly added to the 1178 around my belt already. with 1198 points, I look forward to meeting tomorrow's opponent. I wonder if it will be Theo...
The Nintendo Wii is great. Wii Boxing is not just hilarious to watch, it's great to participate in. By the end of my three bag rounds and two fights, I was sweating like a pig - it was literally running down my face. Plunging into the shower, I refreshed myself.
This dieting malarkey - it's getting more and more fun. If I can control my eating, do more exercise - including using the Nintendo Wii - I'll be slim in no time at all. Rock on!
Until tomorrow,
Adios!

The Dieting Man: Wii Boxing and The Special K Diet: The Weekend Away
Alrighty There People!
Well, I was away for the weekend. In Scotland. Drove up on Friday, left mid morning. We had a 93 year old passenger in the car, so had to take it carefully. Up the A1, past Newcastle Airport, through Ponteland (I think that sounds so funny - pronounced pon-tee-land), and on and on until we hit the border crossing of England/Scotland. We didn't stop, because we had stopped there last year.
Soon after the border crossing, we took a fantastically windy, hilly road to Hawick (pronounced Hoick). We stopped in a brand new cafe called Beanscene, which had an unnerving glass floor which overlooked an old mill wheel. Interesting.
From there, we continued on to our destination, the McDonald Cardrona hotel. It was great. We bedded down, and got ready for the next day...
On Saturday, after a fabulous breakfast, we headed off to visit relatives... *yawn*... then we went to Loch Mary, or Mary's Loch, then on to the Grey Mare's Tail, a fantastic waterfall near Moffatt, then on to Moffatt for dinner (lasagne... mmm).
Then back to the hotel for a well earned sleep. But before bed I found out about Colin McRae... A terrible tragedy, and condolences to his wife, daughter, and the family of the other two deceased.
The following morning, Sunday, we were up and enjoyed another sumptuous breakfast (I think my waistline expanded rapidly over this weekend), and then on to Abbotsford House - the home of Walter Scott. Not fantastic, but the weather was atrocious. I suppose if you managed to work your way around the gardens too, the £6.00 entry fee is worth it. Be warned though - it's not exactly wheelchair friendly.
From there, we headed home - wrecked but happy. I didn't get to bed until 2am, as I had lots to catch up on, and unfortunately Wii Boxing was not one of them... So tomorrow I'll have to fight with vigour...
Until tomorrow,
Adios!

The Dieting Man: Wii Boxing and The Special K Diet: 13th September 2007
Alrighty There People!
The Diet and Exercise regime continues, with, I feel, renewed vigour. I wish so much that I had gotten a Wii earlier, and that I had started to use it to it's full potential sooner.
In the bedroom, we've got built in mirrored wardrobes. I keep looking at myself in the mirror - it's not a fantastic sight, but I've gotta tell you - it's improving!
If you want to get fit, I would definitely recommend getting a Nintendo Wii. It's fun, it's healthy, and it'll save you a fortune in gym membership fees.
So let's get onto last night's results:
Wii Boxing - The Bags:
Round 1 - 27 Bags
Round 2 - 30 Bags
Round 3 - 32 Bags
I thought that was fantastic! Rather than getting worse, I was getting better. I can get into a fantastic rhythm when doing the bags - the brown ones just go in two punches. You know, it's also quite stress relieving too...
On to the fights:
Fight One:
Fight one began with The Dieting Man on 1094, taking on Pierre and all of his 1164 points. Come on! The fight began, and it was a ferocious one. I find the opponents much tougher since going Pro - I get them down, then they get me down, then I get them down, then it's round two. But it makes for a lot of flailing of the arms, a lot of sweat, and a lot of exercise. So it's all a good thing. Anyway, I finally got the better of Pierre, but it did cost me 6 points. I walked out of the ring battered, bruised, and lacking 6 points - but ultimately victorious! Yes! I looked forward to meeting my new opponent in Fight Two...
Fight Two:
I was gutted to see Pierre still in the opposite corner. This was going to be the third time in a row that I was facing him. He obviously hadn't learnt his lesson. He was going to hit the deck, he was going to stay there, and he was not going to come back for more...
The fight began - Pierre on 1194 points, The Dieting Man on 1088. The odds were against me. But I pummelled him - the victory was so great, so decisive that the Wii awarded me 61 points - shooting me up to 1149 points, further away from that fine line between Pro and ... not Pro. Fantastic!
Anyway, I'm away for the weekend, but I'll be back on Monday.
Have a good one!
Until Monday,
Adios!

The Dieting Man: Wii Boxing and The Special K Diet: 12th September 2007
Alrighty There People!
I continue munching through my Special K twice daily. I find it really filling - a bowl first thing keeps me going right through until lunchtime, and my lunchtime bowl keeps my going right through until I finish work. Maybe that means that I should be eating smaller bowls though... Never mind!
I'm still endeavouring to drink lots of water too, averaging six during the working day, and I usually have a pint... of water... on an evening too.
Last night I was out in the garden for a good hour, wrestling with the trees that are trying to dominate our minimal space of greenery. That worked up a good sweat, not least because I was wielding a hefty hedge trimmer that had the capacity to decapitate me.
And then I worked myself up for the big events: Nintendo Wii Boxing.
I was determined not to lose my Pro status - that was a title that I was literally fighting to defend.
So, to work myself up to the fights, I began, as usual, with Bag Training, which went as follows:
The Bags - Round 1: 26 bags
The Bags - Round 2: 27 bags
The Bags - Round 3: 29 bags
I don't know what happened tonight, some of the bags I just couldn't seem to annihilate. The problem is when the bags are slightly off centre, I find it really hard to hit them - maybe I need to lean a little? I guess I'll work it out.
Anyway, on to the main events:
Fight 1:
I swaggered into the ring a champion looking for a weasel to eat up and spit out. I was faced with Tyrone, a Pro with 1193 points against my 1053. We fought. It was great. I got him down. He got me down. I floored him again. Round 1. Round 2 came. I defeated him, gaining 46 points, launching me to 1099. Nothing can take my Pro status now!
Fight 2:
Pierre joined me in the ring, a rough looking fellow with scars on his face, and a really scary mole. On his face, that is. He was there to pitch his 1149 points against mine. Peirre, bring it on. Again, we fought. I got downed, he got downed, but I claimed the victory. Alas, I lost 5 points, dropping me to 1094, and allowing me time to nurse my wounds until tomorrow's fight...
I must say, I love Wii Boxing. I think I enjoy documenting the fights just as much!
I may even begin videoing them, and uploading them to Metacafe or something. Cool!
Until tomorrow,
Adios!

The Dieting Man: Wii Boxing and The Special K Diet: 11th September 2007
Alrighty There People!
Well, the diet seems to be going well, at long last. I've decided to stop cataloguing what I eat, as I find it quite a pointless feat, unless you disagree. I think that the important thing is to be careful with what I eat and to do plenty of exercise every day.
I'm loving incorporating the Nintendo Wii into my diet, and I wish that I had done this earlier. Although I use the Wii Sports Fitness, I don't think that it is ideal, because some of the activities don't even break a sweat. However, sticking my my Wii Sports Boxing Tracker is great for me, I carefully document my daily activity and it's a really intensive workout.
So here is what happened today on Wii Boxing:
The Bags - Round 1: 39 bags (New Record!)
The Bags - Round 2: 30 bags
The Bags - Round 3: 35 bags
I doubt very much that I'll be able to beat 39 bags!
On, then, to Fight 1:
I entered the fight with 997 points, Pro status just out of my grasp. I was facing Ren, an opponent with 1071 points - a Pro. We fought. It was vicious. I lost. And then 13 points were subtracted from me. My hopes of re-attaining Pro status were fast diminishing. I was down to 984 points.
Mortified, I entered Fight 2:
My opponent, the same as yesterday, was Michael, a Pro with 1060 points. With trepidation, I pushed Button A, certain only of a profound whopping. To my absolute delight, I downed him with ease. He didn't get back up. An easy victory - an easy 69 points - and - ROCK ON! - an easy transition back to Pro Status!
This keep fit malarkey is fun. Not only am I going to lose Weight, I'm going to conquer the world of Wii Boxing!
Until tomorrow,
Adios!

The Dieting Man - Wii Boxing and Losing Weight
Alrighty There People!
I've got it. And this time, I'm gonna crack it. Okay, okay, I'll go back to the beginning - right back to January 2007.
I'd gotten sick of family saying how fat I was, how much weight I'd put on, asking my wife what she was feeding me - you get the drift.
So I went on a diet. Thing is, I didn't go on a proper diet. I was watching what I was eating, certainly, but not really doing anything about it. So I was watching myself eat chocolate, McDonalds, pizza, chips, etc etc etc. And guess what? I hadn't lost any weight.
But for the past three weeks, I've been on the Special K diet. That's a bowl of Special K for breakfast, a bowl for lunch, and a normal evening meal. I've been eating more fruit, cutting down on chocolate - and - I think most importantly - doing more exercise.
Now, my exercise has ranged from walking, cycling... and playing on the Wii. I know, I know, people have lost weight on the Wii before, and if you're not bothered, fine. But if you are, you may be inclined to know how I've done this - how I can now tighten my belt to the last hole, whereas before it was on the second hole.
Just using Wii Sports, I think that the most energetic ones to play are (in energetic order) Boxing, Tennis and Baseball. Personally, I think that Golf and Bowling are not really exertive sports, not on the Wii anyway.
So everynight for the past week, I've been doing the Wii fitness. When I first did it, the Wii gave me the fitness age of 80. I managed to get that down to 27, but it's gone back up to 34 as of last night. But to be honest, I wasn't that impressed with it - sometimes it made me do bowling and golf, which I didn't really want to do.
So I've set up my own regime, which I started last night, and I think it's great.
Basically, it entails starting with Boxing Training. So go to that, and do the bag training. Do three rounds. My best score on that is 37 - I believe you get a minute. After that, go onto normal boxing, and have two fights. Now, if you're really good, you may get it over with in the first round. But, if like me, you're not that good, both fights may be the full three rounds.
I started last night with a score of 1009 - giving me 'Pro' status. I won both my fights, but surprisingly lost 6 points in each - meaning that I've lost my Pro status. However, tonight I intend to win it back.
But here is the pièce de résistance: My tracker. On here I will keep a record of how many bags I knock down in each of the three rounds of Wii Boxing training. Then, I will keep track of my Boxing points, my opponent, their points, and my final points. I'll do that for a month and post the results here.
And, just because I can and I want to, I've uploaded the tracker here - so if you want to join in and compare, get the tracker (below - click here for the full tracker), and post your results here.

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!

On to today's incomings:

Until tomorrow,

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,

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...

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!

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!

Returned from the lakes today, got back pretty early, had to nip out and grab some milk, but a very tiring day. Although it didn't take too long to get home really. Probably ate loads of junk in the car. Probably weigh about 17 stone now. Fantastic.
Until tomorrow,
Adios!

Still in the Lakes. Went to a place called Whinlatter Pass today, where I went on a mega long two hour bike ride. My legs are going to be aching tomorrow.... Then went into Keswick where I played mini golf. Great!
