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 18 - Thursday 8th February 2007

Alrighty There People!

Man Flu - my word. How long does this last? I got up to take my wife to work today, got back at 10.00am. Went to bed. Woke up at 3.00pm! What's that all about then?

And, I wasn't even hungry, despite not eating since the night before. And I could have slept for another 42 hours, I reckon...

So anyway, I haven't eaten much at all... here's today's incomings:

15:00 - Cocopops with semi skimmed milk (that's right - breakfast. Hmmm...)

15:15 - Muller Drink

16:35 - Kellogg's Oat Bar

18:30 - Cheeseburger from McDonalds

12:30 - Hot chocolate

That's it! Couldn't believe it.

I've not uploaded any photos for a while - to be honest, who wants to see my stubble, bleary eyes, and hagard looking face? Forget the weight loss, I look 40 now!

Anyway, I'll upload some more pics as soon as I feel a bit better.

Weighed myself, by the way - need to get some digital scales, cos I can't read all them tiny bars - so don't know exactly what I am, but I am closer to 13 1/2 than I am to 14 - so I must be doing something right!

Comments, as always, much appreciated.

Until tomorrow,

Adios!
