The Diet – Wednesday 13th June 2007

Alrighty There People!

Well, I must say that I think that this new regime is going swimmingly. For a start, I’m hungry ALL the time, so by not feeding myself my body is having to burn my excess body fat, but secondly, when I get these hunger pangs, I just drink a glass of water, and the feelings fade. However, I am going to the loo more frequently, but that’s fine with me too.

Today was quite good, but kinda went downhill towards the end – the result of a late dinner and lack of desire to actually put any effort into a meal… read on for more details on that.

Incidentally, the weather has been atrocious, stotting it down all day, so I wasn’t able to get out on the bike this evening. Never mind, maybe tomorrow.

Anyway, on to today’s intakings:

07:30 – Breakfast: Hazelnut yogurt

07:50 – EXERCISE – 50 PRESSUPS

09:15 – Glass of water

09:40 - Glass of water

11:15 - Glass of water

11:25 – Chocolate Snack A Jack

12:10 – 1 Apple

12:45 - Glass of water

12:55 – 1 Plum

14:00 – Chocolate Snack A Jack

14:05 – Glass of water

14:45 - Glass of water

16:05 - Glass of water

16:30 – Chocolate Snack A Jack

16:45 – Packet of raisins

16:50 – 1 Tangerine
20:30 – Dinner: Quarter pounder with cheese, fries and coke L

22:00 – Chocolate milkshake (really weak. More milky than anything)

Okay, so looking back over that, it doesn’t seem too balanced really. 3 Chocolate Snack A Jacks (but they are only 62 calories each!), McDonalds for dinner, and the scoop of Nutella that I didn’t mention earlier…

But, seven glasses of water, low fat yogurt, four pieces of fruit (can I also count the lettuce in the Quarter Pounder? Yes? Okay, that makes my Five A Day!)

All in all, I don’t think it was too bad.

And let me let you into a little secret…. I weighed myself this morning (Thursday)… 13.5 stone! That means that I have actually lost half a stone. Rock on!

I’ll keep you updated with my progress – I just wish I had been this strict with myself earlier…

Until tomorrow,

Adios!

The Diet - Wednesday 23rd May 2007

Alrighty There People!

Well, today was bad. Not for the diet, for me. You see, I've got a cluster of skin tags on my neck - they haven't been too bad, but vanity got the better of me and I wanted to get rid of them. So Monday I toddled off to the doctors, and saw him about them. He said not a problem, I'll freeze them. It only takes 20 seconds each. Come back Wednesday. Great. So today, I again toddle off to the doctors for my 2.30 appointment. I wait patiently for the Doc, and get called into his office. There on the desk is a menacing looking cannister, resembling a black hand-held fire extinguisher. Gulp. He said it wouldn't hurt - he grabbed my hand, and sprayed onto my hand. Didn't hurt. Great.

So I expose my neck, and he started spraying at these six skin tags. Now, at first it felt like someone was blowing on my neck through a straw. Fine. But after about 15 seconds, it felt as if someone was blowtorching my neck. Not pleasant in the slightest. I was gritting my teeth.

"It might sting a little," the doc then chipped in. A LITTLE??? Hello! I'm on FIRE! Anyway, so then he's done them all.

"Are they off?" I ask, somewhat surprised.

"No no," he laughs. "It will take about 4 days. If, though, they are still there in 4 weeks, or if any more come, just come back."

So I drive back to work - and my neck now feels like there are a thousand forest fires raging on it. It's like I've been slashed with ten thousand razor blades. It's as though I have one hundred thousand paper cuts... okay, maybe I'm being a bit dramatic, but it did really hurt. I'm having difficulty turning my head. I get back to work, my boss takes one look at me, and sends me home. Woohoo! But it doesn't stop the pain.

I get home, my wife takes one look and backs away from me - physically backs away - as I have the plague. Then she takes the pictures (below). Not pleasant. My neck continued burning until about 8 oclock.

They're fine today (Thursday), although one of them - the huge one - was bleeding earlier. I'll let you know when they drop off.

Anyway, on to today's eating habits:

07:45 - Coco Pops with semi skimmed milk

08:45 - 1 glass of water

09:30 - 1 glass of water

10:30 - 1 glass of water

11:10 - 2 biscuits

12:20 - Pasta

12:30 - Chocolate yogurt

13:20 - 1 glass of water

17:00 - Pasty, potatoes, peas

17:20 - Chocolate yogurt

20:00 - 1 glass of water

21:00 - Chocolate ice cream

22:00 - Snickers

Okay, I didn't do too well today, but I hope to improve... Keep checking back on my progress!

Until tomorrow,

The Dieting Man

The Diet - Monday 21 May 2007

Alrighty There People!

Well, as you may have noticed, I didn't blog any of my dieting activities last week - plenty of non dieting posts, but nothing to do with food, exercise or anything.

I must admit, the reason was that I had an 'off' week - I didn't feel like keeping track of it all.

However, one squint at the calendar, at the holiday looming, and then one look at the scales has prompted action - decisive action. I will curb my junk food, and participate in regular exercise. To that end, I am now actively hunting for a bike (ebay!), because an exercise bike is just no good. I used to ride my bike all the time - my greatest biking acheivement was the Whitehaven - Keswick - Whitehaven in five hours ride - a 50 mile trek. I was well chuffed with that!

Anyway, I'm going to try and be more healthy, by not taking junk food to work - just sandwiches, fruit and yogurts, and drinking more water. So how did I do with this? Check out my progress below:

07:15 - 2 x Weetabix with semi skimmed milk

09:10 - 1 glass of water

10:00 - 1 glass of water

10:40 - 1 glass of water

12:15 - 2 x white bread rolls with cheese and cucumber

14:06 - 1 hazelnut yogurt

15:00 - 1 cherry yogurt

15:30 - 1 glass of water

19:00 - Chicken Sweet and Sour with Rice

19:30 - 1 glass of diluted juice

19:50 - 1 chocolate yogurt

22:00 - 1 bar of peppermint creme

Okay, I did really well today until I hit the chocolate yogurt and peppermint creme - but that was all I did, and apart from that I thought that I did really well.

Oh, but I did throughout the morning snack on a packet of honey roasted cashew nuts - they were nice, which means they were probably bad....

Anyway, keep checking back on my progress!

Until tomorrow,

Adios!

Friday 27 April 2007

Alrighty There People!

Well, I must admit, it's Wednesday now, and I can't fully recall everything that I had on Friday...

So here goes:

07:30 - Rice Krispies with semi skimmed milk

08:30 - 1 glass of water

09:30 - 1 glass of water

09:50 - Blue Ribband

11:01 - 1 glass of water

12:20 - Cheese and cucumber in a french bread stick... mmmm....

13:20 - Hazelnut Yogurt

14:20 - 1 glass of water

14:25 - 2 Go Ahead bars

15:08 - 1 glass of water

16:23 - 1 glass of water

17:16 - 2 plums

21:00 - Pasta

I can't really remember much else, apart from watching Prison Break. So...

Until tomorrow,

Adios!

Tuesday 10 April 2007

Alrighty There People!

Well, I must say, it has been a long time - a long time since I sat down to do this blog. As you may have realised by now, I generally keep a record of all of my day's eatings, but don't actually subscribe it to my blog until the following day.

However, sometimes I'm that busy, that it takes me a few days to catch up. Last week, not only did I fail to catch up, but I lost the hard copies of my daily incomings. So I apologise for that.

The weekend was mega busy too, with me at a conference all weekend. Apart from munching through a bag of M&M's, it was a healthy weekend though.

Easter Monday I spent out and about, went to the forest, went to the beach, had a great time, but now I'm really sore - still, despite the fact that it's now actually Thursday... (But you leeping reading this as Tuesday, you know the score...!)

Anyway, on to Tuesday's incomings...

Tuesday was another long day spent at work, and to be honest I could just snack away. It's been quiet these past few weeks, and the long hours in the office drag. I could munch quite contentedly through bags and bags of sweets and chocolate, but I don't. I have brought fruit to work, but as you all know, it sometimes stays there a week before I eat it...

Here goes:

07:20 - Cornflakes with semi skimmed milk

08:27 - 1 glass of water

09:23 - 1 glass of water

10:29 - 3 Go Ahead biscuits

10:38 - 1 glass of water

11:42 - Cadbury's Twirl

12:09 - 2 bread rolls with tuna and cucumber

14:10 - Raspberry Yogurt

14:24 - Salt and Vinegar crisps

21:00 - Pasta with baked potato and cheese

21:15 - Fruit juice

22:20 - 1 glass of wine

I'm really disappointed with myself today. First of all, I was at work from 8:30 - 18:00, yet I only drank 3 glasses of water - I'm supposed to have one every hour. That meant that I was supposed to have 10 glasses. Then, I gave way to temptation, and devoured a Cadbury's Twirl. I saw, I bought, I ate... It felt good. THEN, I ate a bag of Salt and Vinegar crisps. I don't even really like crisps, I could go five years without eating them and not miss them for a moment. And, there was a sad lack of fruit and exercise.

A very bad day, all in all. I need to learn from my mistakes. I need to examine my weaknesses. I need to forge ahead, determined to lose weight.

I WILL SUCCEED!!!

Until tomorrow,

Adios!

Alrighty There People!

What a weekend. Busy as usual, but busy is good. Just thought I'd update you all with today's incomings....

07:15 - Cornflakes with semi skimmed milk

11:47 - Water

12:15 - 2 brown bread rolls with tuna and pineapple

12:20 - Hazelnut Yogurt

12:25 - Raspberry Yogurt

13:35 - 1 Banana

18:00 - Sausages, cheesy mashed potatoes, beans

18:15 - Water

18:20 - Cornetto

21:00 - Hot chocolate and low cal biscuit

22:00 - Pint of water

Okay, well, the water was a disaster today, mainly because I had an appointment this morning, and this afternoon stuff got in the way that made it impossible for me to grab any drinks. I think I did quite well on the fruity intake though, not bad at all.

Anyway, must dash.

Until tomorrow,

Adios!

Thursday 22nd March 2007

Alrighty There People!

Another long day - Thursday's usually are. Unfortunately, I didn't go on the exercise bike last night - I got in at half past eleven, and I did want to go on it, but I had a bad stomach as well. So I didn't. But, to compensate, and to kick start a healthy 'new me', I'm walking to work tomorrow. So I'll let you know how I get on with that.

Anyway, on to today's incomings (please bear in mind that Thursday is Grandmother day)...:

07:10 - Frosties with semi skimmed milk

09:00 - 1 glass of water

10:00 - 1 glass of water

12:10 - 2 white bread rolls filled with succulent chicken... mmmm...

12:15 - 1 Muller Yogurt

12:10 - 1 'Good For You' chocolate bar

12:25 - 1 Muller Yogurt (yes, another one!)

13:30 - 1 glass of water

15:10 - 1 Orange

15:54 - 1 glass of water

16:30 - 1 glass of water

17:50 - Chick sticks, potatoe stars and peas

18:10 - 1 glass of orange juice

20:15 - 1 pint of water

21:50 - slice of Steak pie

22:20 - 1 mini bag of Cadbury's Chocolate buttons

22:30 - 1 glass of water

22:40 - 1 small piece of cake

Okay, so I know I was a bit naughty, eating chocolate and cakes - but look how much water I drank! Six smaller cups of water and 1 pint! I'm really pleased with my water consumption, it will help flush my system out!

Anyway, must dash, but will be back with tomorrow's intakings... and I'll let you know how I got on walking to work!

Until tomorrow,

Adios!

Wednesday 21st March 2007

Alrighty There People!

I'm happy. I'm proud. I'm aching and sore though. You know what that all means? Yup, I've been on the exercise bike!!!! Woohoo! Read on to find out more...

Also, I'm going to start walking to work twice a week, 1.5 miles each way, so that will help keep me healthy, fit, and to sleep well at night too.

On to today's incomings...:

07:20 - Frosties and semi skimmed milk

08:45 - 1 glass of water

10:15 - 1 cup of coffee

11:25 - 1 glass of water

12:20 - 2 white bread rolls, filled with tuna and pineapple... nice...

12:30 - 1 Muller yogurt

13:15 - 1 glass of water

15:46 - 1 glass of water

16:20 - 1 orange

19:00 - Chicken korma and rice

19:10 - 1 glass of orange juice

22:00 - 1 pint of water

22:20 - 10 minutes/2 miles - EXERCISE BIKE!

22:40 - 1 pint of water

23:00 - Hot chocolate

So what do you think of that? Much healthier. Although I did eat a couple of tiny chocolates, they were complimentary ones, but I didn't put them in...

I really do think that if I do more exercise, the bike daily and walking twice a week, it should make a big difference.

I weighed myself - closer to 14 stone than 13.5, I'm quite gutted by that. Never mind, I shall persevere!

Until tomorrow,

Adios!

Day 27 - Saturday 17th February 2007

Alrighty There People!

I love Saturdays - a day to chill out, relax, recover from work and prepare yourself for the week ahead!

I didn't do a great deal today, and, to be honest, didn't eat a great deal either...

So here are today's incomings...

08:20 - Rice Krispies with semi skimmed milk

10:50 - Kelloggs Oat Bar

11:20 - Black coffee

13:30 - Tortellini

14:00 - Muller 'Healthy Balance' Yogurt

18:00 - Chilli Coconut Chicken and Rice - Nice!!!

18:15 - 1 glass of water

That's it - I know, I surprise myself too. But there you go.

Still no photo's I'm afraid, my beautiful assistant has been too busy to take some snaps!!!

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!
