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...

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,
Adios!

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!
