The Diet Begins... Again...

Okay, I was going to post this yesterday, but what with it being April Fool's and all that, I thought that you would all think I was joking. When in fact I am serious... deadly serious.

I've kinda let myself go again, and knew that I was eating much more than I should during February and March. Also, I was doing practically zero exercise.
Now, I'm restarting my 'diet', but I've not got any goal in mind - apart from to cut down on rubbish and increase exercise.

Here's how it's going to work:

During the month of April, I will be eating no chocolate, no cakes, no crisps, no rubbish. I will reduce my meal portions. I will only drink water. I will go for a 1.5 mile bike ride twice a week - actually outdoors, on a real bike, and may even use my exercise bike mid-week. That's right, I said I MAY use it - steady as she goes and all that.

So that is my goal.

So on Monday, I tried my bike ride. It's just a short one really, as I said, 1.5 miles. It took me 11 minutes and 29 seconds. My heart rate peaked at 193. I don't know if that's good or bad, but, you know, 193.

So I'll keep you posted on my progress.

After April, I may start allowing treats, but April is the month to kick start my diet.
So far, I've already turned down lots of chocolate, and stopped myself from having treats. I had a banana, an apple and a carrot yesterday, and have got the same today - and I'm determined to eat them today.

So, roll on diet... and roll off... weight...

Day 09 - Thursday 9th August 2007

Alrighty There People!

Well, I am continuing with my mild exercising - 40 pressups on a morning, taking the stairs at work twice a day. Cool. It's not easy heaving this 13.5+ stone body up 6 sets of stairs you know!

On to today's incomings. Bear in mind that Thursday's are Grandmother in law day - lots of temptations to eat lots of chocolate and sweets...

07:30 - 2 Weetabix with semi skimmed milk

08:45 - 1 glass of water

10:00 - 1 glass of water

11:00 - 1 glass of water

11:25 - 1 banana

12:45 - Cadbury's Dairy Milk

12:50 - Lion bar (it's Home Bargains - chocolate is so cheap!)

13:00 - 1 glass of water

14:20 - 1 glass of water

15:40 - 1 glass of water

18:00 - Bacon, eggs, chips - what a great meal for a dieting person!

22:00 - Macaroni Cheese, two pieces of chocolate and a glass of water

So, all in all, not too bad, considering. I must stop going to the shop at lunch time though, it's horrendous...

You may, for your amusement only, peruse the image of the scales below. Nothing's changed, I'm afraid. In fact, I;m very afraid...

Until tomorrow,

Adios!

The Dieting Man


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!

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 - Tuesday 22nd May 2007

Alrighty There People!

Tuesday was a good day. It was a long day, but it was a good day. I haven't been walking to work this week due to certain circumstances, but hopefully I will be doing that again soon. CORRECTION - Hopefully I will buy a bike at the weekend, so will be BIKING to work. Yeah!

Anyway, on to today's incomings:

07:30 - 2 Weetabix and Semi skimmed milk

09:15 - 1 glass of water

10:30 - 1 glass of water

11:40 - 1 glass of water

12:10 - 2 Cheese and cucumber rolls

12:44 - 1 banana

12:50 - 1 glass of water

13:45 - 1 glass of water

14:45 - 1 hazelnut yogurt

15:00 - 1 glass of water

15:30 - 1 cherry yogurt

16:00 - 1 glass of water

18:00 - Fried chicken, carrotts, potatoes

18:10 - Raspberry and Mandarin juice

18:30 - Cadbury's Dairy Milk Buttons Yogurt

22:00 - Black coffee

22:10 - Peppermint creme

So, I thought I did stupendously well today - that is, until I ate my dinner which was accompanied by the CDM Yogurt, and then on the evening when I got hit by a craving for some peppermint creme. Come on though, it's sooooo nice! But you can't beat Fry's Peppermint Creme - unfortunately I didn't have any of that.

Anyway, I was quite pleased with this today, and hope to see some good results from this soon.

Until tomorrow,

Alrighty There People!

First of all, my apologies. I forgot to take a picture of the scales. So I have no idea how much I weigh today. Sorry.

But, good news - I walked to and from work today! Took me 1 and a half hours in total, but really enjoying it - not stressing me out at all, and it's great.

I think that I did really well with my eating as well today - hardly any junk.

So anyway, here are today's incomings:

06:15 - Rice Krispies with semi skimmed milk

07:00 - EXERCISE - WALK TO WORK

07:55 - 1 glass of water

08:50 - 1 glass of water

10:14 - 1 glass of water

12:00 - 2 white bread rolls with Tuna and Cucumber

15:00 - 1 glass of water

16:00 - 1 plum

19:00 - Chicken Stir Fry with Rice

19:20 - Can of Coke

19:30 - Chocolate yogurt

22:30 - Glass of Red Wine

So that was my day. What do you think? Can of coke and chocolate yogurt were my only real bad bits. I'm happy with that intake, alongside the exercise. I'm feeling goo physically, and mentally too.

Rock On!

Until tomorrow,

Adios!

Alrighty There People!

Today was fantastic. Only two slip ups really, and not too bad at that!

First of all, I forgot to mention that I walked to work again on Friday, so that was twice last week. It takes about 45 minutes each way, and I listen to Chris Moyles on the way in and Scott Mills on the way out - cool.

Anyway, I'll be keeping that up this week, I'll be walking tomorrow (Wednesday) and Thursday. I just hope its not gonna rain!

Anyway, on to today's incomings:

07:30 - Rice Krispies with semi skimmed milk

I forgot to weigh myself last night - what kind of hard core dieter am I? - so I will try and remember that tonight and post pictures of that tomorrow.

Until tomorrow,

Adios!

So over the moon with myself for that one. I'm gonna do it again on Friday - in fact, I'm going to do it every Wednesday and Friday this month. Your support would be much - like, really much - appreciated.

Anyway, on to todays incomings:

Alrighty There People!

I have an extremely accurate record of today's incomings, so I will get straight on with it...

Also, I am going to be posting progress pictures soon, so keep checking back for them!

Today went something like this...:

07:30 - Rice Krispies and semi skimmed milk

11:40 - 1 glass of water

11:50 - 2 Go Ahead bars

12:30 - Snack a Jack

13:15 - 2 brown bread and tuna rolls

Hmmm. Looking back at that, I thought that I had drank more water, but evidently not. Well, it wasn't too bad today, really, not compared to Friday anyway! Junk food wasn't too bad. Problems are when I get home from work - the tendency is to sit and pig out. Must avoid that.

Until tomorrow,

Friday 13th April 2007

Alrighty There People!

First of all, apologies for the lateness in updating this - it is now actually Thursday 19th April,
so I am currently almost a week behind schedule.

It has been a totally, utterly, manic week, and things just seem to be spiralling out of control
beyond my grasp.

Diet wise, things haven't been too clever either. I've not done any exercise, and as you will be
able to tell from this blog's consumption, it almost went out of the window. You'll be pleased to
know that I've got it back in control, and will be doing what I can to shed those stones imminently.

Anyway, on to Friday's incomings:

07:30 - Cornflakes with semi skimmed milk

08:30 - 1 glass of water

09:15 - 1 glass of water

10:14 - 1 glass of water

10:40 - 1 Cadbury's Creme Egg

11:50 - 1 glass of water

12:20 - 2 white bread rolls with Tuna

12:30 - 1 Cadbury's Creme Egg

15:00 - 1/2 bag of Cadbury's Mini Eggs

17:00 - 1 Cadbury's Creme Egg

19:00 - Chicken Korma, rice and Naan bread

19:40 - Tropical juice drink

Okay, so today was bad - really bad. But please, bear in mind that it's the week after Easter, and
everything chocolate wise is on special offer. So I'm sorry that I ate 3 Creme eggs today. But... I
had to...

Anyway, must dash, I have a lot to catch up on!

Until tomorrow,

Adios!

Thursday 12 April 2007

Alrighty There People!

Well, I must say that today was more of a success than the previous two days... but I still gotta lotta work to do...

Here's the incomings:

07:40 - Cornflakes with semi skimmed milk

08:37 - Glass of water

09:10 - Glass of water

10:22 - Glass of water

11:07 - Glass of water

12:00 - Tomato Soup

12:20 - 3x Go Ahead Bars

14:38 - Hazelnut yogurt

14:40 - Glass of water

15:10 - Glass of water

16:15 - Glass of water

16:40 - 1 Orange

17:15 - Giant cookie

17:30 - Burgers, chips, peas

17:40 - Can of Coke

17:50 - Chocolate

20:20 - Glass of water

22:00 - Creme Egg

23:00 - Milkshake and biscuit

So... it wasn't too bad, really, but a couple of naughty things in there, namely, burgers and chips, coke, chocolate, Creme Egg. But the creme egg - seriously, ASDA, 8 for £1.00. A POUND! They're usually 40p each!!! You just can't miss bargains like that. And anyway, I'm moving soon, so the stress is gonna come rolling on, and I'm gonna need my comfort food. I know it's not what you want to hear, but that's just the way it is.

Anyway, hope to do even better tomorrow.

See you then!

Until tomorrow,

Tuesday 3rd April 2007

Alrighty There People!

So how you all doing? I'm great, really good. Although saying that, I weighed myself today, and I'm closer to fourteen stone than I was about a month ago... Maybe I'll stop weighing myself, and just concentrate on picking up the good habits... Must do more exercise, must eat more fruit, must eat less junk... It's quite simple really. But writing it is one thing, actually doing it is another.

Anyway, on to today's takings:

07:20 - Cornflakes with semi skimmed milk

09:11 - 1 glass of water

10:43 - Kellogg's Nutri Grain Raisin Break

11:02 - 1 glass of water

11:35 - 1 Cadbury's Creme Egg

12:00 - 2 brown bread rolls with tuna and pineapple

12:30 - 1 Hazelnut yogurt

13:49 - 1 glass of water

14:36 - 1 glass of water

14:45 - 1 Raspberry yogurt

15:30 - 1 Banana

15:40 - 1 glass of water

16:53 - 1 Orange

17:30 - Steak, yorkshire pudding, mashed potatoes

17:40 - 1 glass of orange juice

17:45 - 1 Cadbury's Dairy Milk Buttons yogurt

20:20 - 1 pint of water

20:30 - 1 piece of shortbread

Okay, I think I did better today - I ate two pieces of fruit, a banana and an orange. I ate two healthy yogurts. Healthy lunch. Healthy dinner. Plenty of water. Let downs? I should have said no to the creme egg. The Kellogg's bar is probably really fattening. The Cadbury's yogurt should have been a piece of fruit. And the shortbread should have been avoided altogether.

AND I DIDN'T DO ANY EXERCISE!

Aaaargh.

Never mind, tomorrow I will do better....

Until tomorrow,

Adios!

Thursday 29th March 2007

Alrighty There People!

Well, Thursdays. What can I say? Long day. Early start this morning - got up at 6:50 - late finish - didn't get in until 23:20. So I'm wrecked... AND I walked to work! How's that for healthy living? I must say, I thoroughly enjoyed walking to work, Radio One playing through my phone, getting totally drenched in the misty weather, but feeling great when I got there. Also coming home - it takes about half an hour, but it only feels like five minutes. And, this time I didn't feel as exhausted when I came in as I did last Friday.

I would have walked to work tomorrow too, but I have a few appointments that I need the car for. Never mind. Next week I'll probably walk in Wed, Thurs, Fri. Great!

Anyway, on to today's incomings:

07:00 - Frosties - Semi skimmed milk

08:00 - Walk to work - 30 minutes

08:30 - 1 glass of water

10:00 - 1 glass of water

11:21 - 1 glass of water

11:30 - 3 x Go Ahead bars

12:20 - 2 brown bread rolls, with tuna and pineapple

13:10 - 1 glass of water

14:00 - 1 glass of water

14:50 - 1 Orange

15:30 - 1 glass of water

17:00 - Walk home - 30 minutes

17:45 - Cheese and mushroom pasty, potatoes and peas

17:50 - 1 glass of fruit juice

20:20 - 1 pint of water

21:45 - Slice of steak pie

22:00 - 1 glass of water

22:30 - Mini chocolate buttons and mini fudge.... oops!

Well, I think that I did really well pretty much all day, right up to the end there. But I'm still giving myself a pat on the back - fruit, exercise, it's all there.

I went shopping tonight, and I've changed my cereal to Cornflakes, hopefully less sugars in that, and I got a bag of apples, bag of oranges, bunch of bananas and punnet of kiwis. So planning a much healthier week!

Anyway, until tomorrow,

Adios!

Today was less hectic than the last two, but busy nevertheless.


I don't really feel that I have eaten much today, so here are my incomings:

07:30 - Frosties with semi skimmed milk

10:16 - 1 glass of water and custard cream

11:15 - 1 glass of water

12:10 - 2 brown bread rolls, with tuna and pineapple

12:20 - 3 Go Ahead bars

12:30 - 1 glass of water

I was shattered today, as I didn't have a good sleep last night, so that is all I am going to say. I must stop eating those Go Ahead bars, they're covered in sugar!

Until tomorrow,

Adios!

Tuesday 27th March 2007

Alrighty There People!

Well, I thought yesterday was bad... I had no idea what was in store for me today. My word!


Okay, it started with pure medlam. I got to work at 8.30, but I had to be at a meeting in another location at 9.15. So I had given myself plenty of time. I just needed to check my emails, see if anything had come in about the meeting that I was going to. It had, so I printed those off. Then, a colleague rang in sick, and I had to cancel two of her appointments. Then, another colleague was running training that day, and needed help with the materials. THEN, the Big Boss came in, and asked me to do some work for her! I explained that I was going to a meeting, but she insisted. Well you just don't say no to the Big Boss! Anyway, that only took 5 minutes, cos I'm so good.... Then I left for the meeting, and got there at 9.05. It was early, but I had wanted to be earlier than that. There were only two people waiting. Anyway, when I got back to the office at lunchtime, I was snowed under until about three - I didn't even have time to keep a record of what I had eaten!

I remember most of it, so this isn't going to be too accurate, but I have a new plan, which I will tell you about after this:

Roughly:

07:15 - Frosties with semi skimmed milk

09:10 - Glass of water (and then at least two more throughout the morning)

12:00 - 2 x White bread rolls, tuna and pineapple

13:00 - Water

It gets a bit hazy now - I can't remember what else I had until dinner time...

17:45 - Steak, potatoes, peas, carrots

17:50 - 1 glass of Orange juice

18:00 - Cadbury's buttons

I can't remember what else I ate...

However, this is the new diet and fitness plan, which I plan to start on MOnday 2nd April.

This also incorporates walking to work twice a week, a three mile round trip.

Timings may vary on things, but this is the basic framework that I want to stick to. Notice the amount of fruit consumed, no snacks really, and healthiness. Yeah!

Here goes:

(Timings are subject to change)

07:00 - Rice Krispies (semi skimmed milk)

08:00 - 1 Glass of water

09:00 - 1 Glass of water

10:00 - 1 Glass of water

10:30 - 1 Banana

11:00 - 1 Glass of water

12:00 - 1 Glass of water

12:30 - 2 Brown Bread Sandwiches with Tuna

12:45 - 1 Low Fat Hazelnut Yogurt

13:00 - 1 Glass of water

14:00 - 1 Glass of water

15:00 - 1 Glass of water

15:30 - 1 Orange

16:00 - 1 Glass of water

17:00 - 1 Glass of water

17:30 - Exercise Bike - 20 minutes

18:00 - Dinner

18:15 - 1 Glass of water

18:30 - Piece of fruit

19:00 - 1 Glass of water

20:00 - 1 Glass of water

21:00 - 1 Glass of water

21:15 - Piece of fruit

No more food after 21:15

So I'll keep you posted on this, and I still appreciate your comments!

Until tomorrow,

Adios!
