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 milk09:10 - 1 glass of water11:10 - 1 glass of water11:20 - 1 apple12:20 - 2 white bread rolls with corned beef and cucumber13:00 - 1 glass of water13:30 - 1 glass of water21:50 - 1 large cookie22:00 - Sweet and sour chicken with white rice23:00 - 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!Scale image below - it hasn't improved yet :(Until tomorrow,Adios!The Dieting Man

Well, it's Monday. The exercise bike is now out of the spare room, and in the passage. Unfortunately, I have not had the time to go on it yet - I had planned on going on it this evening, but I didn't get in from work until 6.15, and I had loads to do, which included updating a website, and watching two episodes of Prison Break... I'm going to try and go on tomorrow night, even though I generally don't get in until 9.30 on a Tuesday. Mind you, it's only twenty/thirty minutes that I need to do...
I've also decided that I'm going to walk to work twice a week. It's not too far, only about half an hour, but it's quite hilly, so should be good for me. More exercise is the key to losing more weight!
Mind you, I haven't weighed myself at all recently, probably due to the fact that I don't think I have lost any weight! Saying that, my watch has become slack recently - but who wants to lose weight on their wrist???!
Anyway, on to today's incomings...:
07:15 - Frosties with semi skimmed milk
09:42 - 1 small cup of water
11:22 - 1 small cup of water
11:40 - 2 brown bread rolls, with tuna and pineapple - nice
12:20 - Cadbuy's Caramel
14:20 - 1 small cup of water
15:45 - 1 small cup of water
18:20 - 3 mini coconut bites
20:45 - Pizza and chips
20:55 - Orange juice
22:30 - A few spoonfuls of Ben and Jerry's ice cream...
Okay, so I know that today wasn't fantastic, but I will improve tomorrow - I'm not going to eat ANY chocolate, biscuits, cakes or anything like that... I WILL eat the orange that I know is sat on my desk... and I WILL go on my exercise bike sometime before I go to bed!
Anyway, looking at sponsorship - I could really do with some sponsorship, or even some simple support! Come on people, let me hear your encouragement! I reckon I could easily get sponsorship from Cadbury's or someone like that, but that would kinda be against the whole dieting thing... So someone like Springs Healthclub or something would be absolutely fantastic. So if you're reading, Springs, (or someone who works there!), get in touch!
Anyway, until tomorrow,
Adios!

Well, end of the week. Get in! Of coruse, that means that the weekend is looming - and we all know that everyone lets themselves go at the weekend, diet or no diet. This weekend is going to be especially hard - I've got a leaving do to go to... Cue lots of cakes and sweet stuff.
Did I mention that I'm no longer keeping this blog at the weekend? It's going to be purely Monday to Friday now, unless, of course, I obtain sponsorship... hint hint HINT!
When I came home from work, my wife had managed to take the exercise bike out of the office and put it in the passageway - no mean feat, I tell you. So it is sitting there now, and I look forward to putting it to good use... soon....
Anyway, on to the takings:
07:35 - Onken Biopot Yogurt - yup, the whole thing!
09:00 - 1 glass of pure natural bottled water
10:45 - 1 glass of pure natural bottled water
12:15 - Beans on toast - lovely!
12:30 - 1 chocolate yogurt... oh oh....
12:35 - 1 small piece of chocolate swiss roll... ooops...
15:00 - black coffee
15:20 - 6 pieces of Galaxy chocolate - forced upon me...
16:00 - 1 glass of pure natural bottled water
19:00 - Pasty, brocolli, cauliflower, potatoes
19:10 - 1 glass of mixed fruit
21:00 - 1/4 pot of Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream...
Okay, okay, I know what you are saying - and I agree, it wasn't a fantastic day, healthy eating-wise. But it was Friday, and everyone knows how bad Friday's are. Cadbury's MARKETED Fridays with their Thank Crunchie It's Friday, or something absurd like that...
Anyway, the forthcoming week will get better, I am more determined to work hard at this diet...
Until.. next week,
Adios!

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 milk12:40 - Black coffee15:15 - Beans on toast, sprinkled with cheese... mmm15:25 - 1 glass of water15:30 - 1 Hazelnut yogurt18:00 - 1 black coffee19:00 - Potatoes, beef, peas, broccolli...19:45 - Ice cream and jamaica cake....22:00 - Hot chocolateOkay, 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!The Dieting Man
