Okay, so last week was a bit manic, and things didn't go according to plan. The whole world was against me starting my new regime of dieting and exercise - including electronics failing on me, friends inviting me out, and, most of all, my own lack of self discipline.
The weekend was fuelled with going out with friends and gorging on lasagne, pizza, chocolate, wine, fizzy drinks, nuts, cakes - oh my word it was a gluttonous fest. I loved it. No, wait, I didn't. Aaaargh I'm so confused.
Anyway, I decided that Monday I would start afresh. Cut down on my intake, increase my exercise from nil to something, and monitor the progress. I’m sick of seeing all these “I Got Ripped in 4 Weeks” ads – they all look really, really fake – are they even the same people? – but I want to slim myself down.
Well, I started monitoring anyway... This is what I took in, foodwise:
Breakfast:
1 glass of water
Mid morning:
1 glass of water
Alpen cereal bar (Fruit, nut, chocolate)
Lunch:
3 finger rolls with liver pate and lettuce
Afternoon:
Cadbury's Boost
Handful of grapes
Apple
Early Evening:
1 Chocolate yogurt
Dinner:
2 slices of Margherita pizza
1 jacket potato with cheese
1 glass of water
Little tub of (3) Profiteroles
Later On...
50g plain chocolate
500g Ben and Jerry's Chocolate Fudge Brownie
So, there was some good in there, and some very, very bad. A full tub of Ben and Jerry's? Naughty. What's worse, though, is that I know that there is another one in the freezer. That's what happens when ASDA does a "2 for £3" deal. Damn them.
I tried to increase my portions of fruit intake, again from nil - I managed two of my five a day. That's okay, I guess.
Exercise? Yeah, that didn't happen. But I've got a (fairly) legitimate excuse - I've got this awful pain in my side - feels like I've been broadsided by a truck. In actual fact, I think that I've been 'kneed' in my side by my wife when asleep, but, naturally, she's denying all knowledge of it.
Anyway, I did put on the Wii, just to get an overview of where I am and what I need to do. Here's the results:
Days since last on Wii Fit: 107 (oops!)
Current Weight: 13.13 stone (approx 183lbs)
Change since last session: +7lbs
BMI: 33.23 (Extremely Obese)
I've set a goal of losing 3lbs every week for the next 6 months - I want to lose a stone and a half (around 24lbs).
Okay, so again, a quick overview - I'm going to try to keep to this format of overview regularly:
Exercise:
Type / Length of time:
NA / 00:00
Fruit intake:
2 / 5
It looks like I've got a lot of work to do, and a lot of self-discipline will be needed. I'm going to need to seriously cut down on junk food intake, increase fruit and veg intake, and do exercise. The plan is to do twenty minutes on the exercise bike daily, and then half an hour of activities on Wii Fit.
That was Monday. This is Tuesday. I am the Dieting Man. I WILL SUCCEED!
Your support would be very much appreciated.

The New Year. The New Diet
Alrighty There People!
So. How you feeling? Full and fat? Well, join the club. I’m totally bloated, stuffed full of good food, junk food, pleasure food, seasonal food, food food, food food food food. Oh, and did I mention food? Not to mention the occasional glass of wine…
So it was with fear and great trembling that I mounted the scales last night, heaving my immense form onto the small block of plastic beneath my mammoth toes, scales that almost shrieked out in pain under the pressure of the behemoth that I am. The dial spun dizzily, and I wondered if it would ever stop. But stop it did – just shy of 14 stone. Ooof. That’s heavy – far too heavy.
So there and then, without removing my grossly overweight mass from the scales, I made a resolve. It wasn’t silly, it wasn’t over the top, it wasn’t crazy. Rather, it was doable, realistic, attainable. Here’s the plan:
Drinks: The only drink that I will consume is water. I will stop drinking hot chocolate and black coffee, both laden with two spoons of sugar. I will most certainly stop drinking Yazoo, that chocolate drink that is basically cow fat turned brown. I will stop drinking orange juice, which is no doubt heavily peppered with sugars and other weight-adding additives.
Food: I will reduce my portions of breakfast cereal. I will not go back onto the ‘Special K 2 Week Diet’ – I tried it, it didn’t work for me. But it may work for you – I’m not knocking it, as I said, it just wasn’t for me. Chocolate and junk food are forbidden. Totally. Not allowed at the weekend, as previously – totally forbidden. No chocolate, no dry biscuits, nothing. I will attempt to eat five portions of fruit a day – they may be the same fruit, because I’m not really that adventurous, but it will be fruit none the less. Smaller portions, healthier food. And I’ll probably break out that smoothie maker, and make some of those really nice recipes that I downloaded free that I’ve got lying around…
Exercise: I will exercise daily. This actually started yesterday – twenty minutes on the exercise bike. That’s twenty minutes, at a leisurely pace, covering 4.11 miles, and burning a measly 15.3 calories. But it’s a start. Once I’ve managed to shed a few pounds, I’ll see if I can manage a few press-ups every day. I’ll no doubt get back on the Wii, and do the daily fitness training on that – I may even pre-order Wii Fit. BTW, if you haven’t got a Wii, grab one, get on Wii Sports (it comes with it), and give the boxing, tennis, baseball and bowling a shot. It’s a hoot, it’ll get you hot and sweaty, and you may, just may, lose some weight, and enjoy it. I’m up for that.
Basically, then, it’s a new regime. It’s a combined fitness/healthy style of living, to reduce my weight and increase my healthiness.
I got a good tip yesterday. “Take a picture of yourself, with minimal clothes on (boxer shorts only). Print it out, put it on the fridge.”
I did that. The picture is, in a word, grotesque.
If you want to join with me, post your reason in the comments. If you’ve successfully shed a few pounds in the past, post your success tips in the comments. If you want to encourage me, post your encouragement in the comments. If you want to lay into me about having got myself into this state… get lost.
I am The Dieting Man. This year, I will succeed.
Adios!

The Dieting Man: Monday 28th October 2007
Alrighty There People!
Well, I haven’t blogged for a while now, and it’s because I’ve just been so busy with lots and lots and lots.
I haven’t been on the Wii for ages, I haven’t been on the exercise bike again since I last blogged, and I’ve been eating flapjacks, cakes, and chocolate. And Ben and Jerry’s. What am I trying to say? I’ve totally gone off of the rails.
You know, someone once told me that if I put up a chart, and give myself a gold star for doing well, it would serve as motivation for me.
So I’ve made myself a calendar, and I’ll give myself one silver star for each day that I eat no junk food, and one silver star for each day that I do my full round of exercises – that’s ten minutes on the bike, Wii Fitness, 3 rounds of Bag Training, and 2 Fights. At the end of the week, if I have 14 silver stars, I get a gold star. Woohoo!
So this started today, and I managed to go the full day without any junk or bad stuff, although double chocolate muffins, iced buns, and roses were being passed around the office. But I managed to turn them all down!
Then, I got on my exercise bike, and did ten minutes (travelling 2.43 miles, and burning up an almighty 9.1 calories!).
Following that, I completed my 3 round on the bag, scoring 31 on round 1, 30 on round 2, and a humble 25 on round 3.
Then, stepping gingerly into the ring, I faced Elisa for fight one. Bearing in mind that I had 1455 points, she had 1505 points, and it’s been a while since my last fight…
Anyway, round one was really vicious, I managed to floor Elisa 3 times, but she floored me 4 times – and the last time I didn’t get up. That’s right, the fight was over in round one.
So I lost ten points, and went on to round two – where I floored Elisa before she had even managed to get a few swings in. Amazingly, she didn’t get up! Round 1, first knockdown, and she stayed down! That earned me a whopping 67 points, which I was very grateful for. So I swaggered out of the ring with 1512 points. Nice!
So today, I gained 2 silver stars. Tomorrow, I hope to do the same.
I’ll let you know how it goes.
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.

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!

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,

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...

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...

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.

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!

Day 01 - Monday 30 July 2007
Alrighty There People.
Yes, you've read correctly. Day 01. Why Day 01? Because since I started keeping this blog, I've lost no weight. Zero. Zilch. Naught. Nowt. Not a sausage. And that has made me sick. No, that has made me angry. With myself. Because I haven't had the self control to stick to my guns and lose the weight that I said that I would. So now I'm gonna give myself a new regime, and I am going to stick to it.
You may be wondering why I'm putting myself through this again. Well, it's quite simple really. The whole point of the diet was to lose weight for the holiday. Well, the holiday has been and gone. I hadn't managed to lose any weight, and looking back over the photos, I feel ashamed. My belly hangs out, I've got a bad case of man boobs, and I must have about 4 chins. Honestly, it's disgusting. So, I'm going to lose the flab.
Now, I'm not giving myself any time frame to do this. You may think that this is silly, but I'm not going to go stupid - I'm going to go healthy. I'm cutting down (or trying to cut down) on the junk that I consume. I'm going to eat more healthy food. I'm going to lead a more healthy lifestyle. I'm going to weigh myself daily and take pictures of my weight and post them here. I'm going to do press ups every day, hopefully twice a day. I'm going to try and get out on my bike at least once a week, and I will try to get on my exercise bike every day. Now, this is going to take some doing, and this first week may be hard (I'm writing this on Wednesday, I haven't been on my exercise bike yet.) But, at work, I am climbing the stairs to the fourth floor rather than taking the lift. I get into the office dripping with sweat, which shows how unhealthy I am, but I am determined not to use that lift.
I'm going to keep you updated with my progress. I may not be able to add to this blog daily, but when I do update, I will add a daily account as seperate entries, so that you can see my progress.
Every month, I'm going to put together a chart to show how my weight has increased/decreased/fluctated, and any readings I get from my bike/exercise bike. I am really, really desperate to lose some weight.
Okay, well, if you're still with me, this was how today went. It wasn't perfect, I'll admit that, but it was better than it has been recently. Here goes:
Weight: 13.7 (I think - I need some digital scales...)
07:30 - Breakfast - 1/2 a biopot low fat strawberry yogurt
07:45 - Press ups x 30
10:30 - Mango smoothie (really, really nice) (tin of mangoes, a few scoops of ice cream, and a splash of milk)
11:00 - Cake from Greggs (not my fault, someone brought it in at work)
12:30 - Ham and cucumber rolls (x2) (brown bread)
13:00 - Apple
19:00 - Macaroni cheese and jacket potatoe with cheese
22:00 - 3 x mini double chocolate chip muffins :(
Throughout the day I had about 5 glasses of water.
Okay, so it wasn't brilliant, but it was a start. Let's hope I do better tomorrow...
Until tomorrow,
Adios!

Wednesday 25th July 2007 - UPDATE
Alrighty There People!
Well, I haven't blogged for a while, cos I've been on holiday. Italy was fantastic... I might post a few pictures on here soon.
I'm pretty gutted because I haven't lost any weight - in fact, pizza, pasta and ice cream in Italy has probably added a few pounds and inches... never mind.
However, I have got my bike, I've got this cool wireless computer speedo thing for it, and I'm planning on using it regularly. I'm also planning on going on the exercise bike every day to try and help shave off a few pounds, and I'm going to watch what I eat even more. AND I'm going to ALDI or LIDL or whichever one it is because they've got digital scales this week for £5.00 and they'll be so much easier to read than my tiny ones at the minute.
Oh, and one more thing. I'm always getting likened to Shrek. Well, check this out Dreamworks - if you plan to do Shrek 4 with real people, I'm your guy. Saw this amongst the shops in Venice, couldn't resist getting the snap...
I'll be back soon!

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!

Until tomorrow,

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

Well, today was a hectic day which ended in... disaster.
It started off with an early morning. After work, I had to nip in to town to do a few things. From there I had to got to my mother in law's to help her shift some furniture. Lashed home, grabbed a kind of healthy snack, had to then go and get my dearly beloved and take her back into town for a friend's leaving do (which is silly for a Monday night), that finised at 10.15, so then had to go back into town to pick her up and drop off two others! Meantime, I hadn't eaten anything. So a long day with no dinner. Grrr...
The rest of the incomings went something like this...:
07:15 - Frosties with semi skimmed milk
08:30 - 1 glass of water
09:45 - 1 glass of water
11:40 - 2 brown bread rolls with tuna and pineapple
12:20 - 3 Go Ahead bars
12:30 - 1 glass of water
13:10 - 1 glass of water
13:30 - 1 Muller yogurt
14:20 - 1 glass of water
15:52 - 1 black coffee and a custard cream
16:20 - 1 Orange
17:20 - 3x Ryvita with Dairy Lea spread
And from that point on it went to pot.... I must admit that I had a couple of bites of chocolate. I did want to go on the exercise bike - in fact there were lots of things that I did want to do, but time just rushed away from me. I was already shattered from the long, hectic day at work, and then all of the running around (well, driving, technically), just about finished me off.
Oh well. As a good friend always says, "Never mind!"
Until tomorrow,

Well, today was a hectic day which ended in... disaster.
It started off with an early morning. After work, I had to nip in to town to do a few things. From there I had to got to my mother in law's to help her shift some furniture. Lashed home, grabbed a kind of healthy snack, had to then go and get my dearly beloved and take her back into town for a friend's leaving do (which is silly for a Monday night), that finised at 10.15, so then had to go back into town to pick her up and drop off two others! Meantime, I hadn't eaten anything. So a long day with no dinner. Grrr...
The rest of the incomings went something like this...:
07:15 - Frosties with semi skimmed milk
08:30 - 1 glass of water
09:45 - 1 glass of water
11:40 - 2 brown bread rolls with tuna and pineapple
