Oh No - Off the Rails!!!

Alrighty There People!

Well, you may have noticed that I haven't posted for a while. Hmmm. That's because last week my diet went off the rails! Well, not totally...

I forgot to keep track of what I was eating each day, and then on Friday I went shopping for the day, which included an indulgent coffee break, followed by a scrumptious lasagne at Frankie and Benny's - I'm gonna post pics of both of those later - and then following that I had things like Toblerone, sweets, McDonald's milk shakes, etc, etc.

However, I am back on track now - hopefully - I haven't weighed myself recently.

I've recorded my intakings for Monday and Tuesday, which I will post here later.

I need to lose weight. Aaargh!

Until... later...

Day 11 - Thursday 1st February 2007

Alrighty There People!

Long day today, very long day. I must say, though, that I am pleased with myself. You see, Thursday night is 'Grandma Night', and at Grandma's, she's got a HUGE tin of sweets that get passed around. And tonight - I didn't have ANY. That is self control. That was really hard to do.

I've had a suggestion to put the exercise bike in front of the TV. I just might do that...

Anyway, on to today's incomings:

07:30 - Shreddies with semi skimmed milk

07:40 - Muller drink

09:00 - 1 small cup of water

10:10 - 1 small cup of water

11:15 - 1 small cup of water

12:15 - 1 cheese toastie (mmm... nice!)

12:20 - 1 Kellogg's Oat Bar

12:25 - 1 Hazelnut yogurt

12:53 - 1 small cup of water

13:55 - 1 small cup of water

15:07 - 1 small cup of water

15:59 - 1 small cup of water

18:00 - Chips, chicsticks, peas

18:10 - 1 glass of Orange juice

18:20 - 1 Hazelnut yogurt

22:00 - Very small portion of fish and chips (Grandma forced them on me)

22:30 - 1 glass of water

So, that was today. I think all in all, I've done really well. I do still need to work on eating more fruit and veg though.

Until tomorrow,

Adios!

Day 10 - Wednesday 31st January 2007

Alrighty There People!

Well, I think I'm slipping slightly. Not so much on the intake, but I'm not taking photo's, which are a source of disgust and therefore motivation to me!, but I'm also not doing any exercise. Well, the only exercise I'm doing is with my thumbs, on my new PlayStation game. Which is probably why I'm not doing any exercise.

They say you only need to do twenty minutes a day. I'm sure I can manage that. Thing is, it's so much easier to cabbage in front of the TV, with the PlayStation, then get up and go on the exercise bike, or go to the Leisure Centre for a swim. Hmmm.

Anyway, as I ponder these thoughts, I'll let you peruse todays incomings:

07:45 - Shreddies with Semi skimmed milk

07:55 - 1 Raspberry Muller drink

08:30 - 1 small cup of water

09:25 - 1 small cup of water

11:05 - 1 small cup of water

12:00 - 2 brown bread finger rolls, with tuna and cucumber

12:15 - 1 Kellogg's Oat bar

12:25 - 1 hazelnut yogurt

13:17 - 1 small cup of water

14:20 - 1 small cup of water

15:30 - 1 small cup of water

15:35 - 1 Orange

18:00 - Lamb steak, potatoes, carrotts, califlower, broccolli

18:10 - 1 glass of tropical juice

20:30 - 1 hazelnut yogurt

22:00 - 1 Kellogg's Oat bar

23:00 - Hot chocolate (withOUT the trimmings!)

Okay, so what do you think of that? I haven't had any (solid) chocolate for ages now!

Comments (as always) much appreciated!

Until tomorrow,

Adios!

Day 9 - Tuesday 30th January 2007

Alrighty There People!

Well, still no pics I'm afraid, it has been absolutely manic recently!

Today was a long, tiring day, but I think that I did really well with my consumption.

Didn't do any exercise, so I must make a concentrated effort to do that.

Anyway, today's incomings were:

07:30 - Shreddies with Semi Skimmed Milk (I don't particularly like Shreddies, but they do the job!)
08:30 - 1 small cup of water
09:15 - 1 small cup of water
09:44 - Muller Probiotic Drink
10:00 - 1 small cup of water
11:25 - 1 small cup of water
12:10 - 2 brown bread finger rolls, tuna
12:15 - 1 Kelloggs Oat Bar (they are so nice) (Can I get sponsorship from them perhaps?!)
12:20 - 1/4 Honey Dew Melon
14:00 - 1 small cup of water
14:50 - 1 small cup of water
18:00 - Steak lattice, potatoes, peas, corn on the cob
18:15 - 1 glass of water
23:00 - Hot chocolate (marshmallows, milk and chocolate sprinkly things!)

So what do you think? I'm not doing too bad - I've definitely cut down, I used to eat loads of chocolate and biscuits throughout the day.

The weight hasn't come peeling off though - I suppose I kinda thought it would, but these things take time, don't they!

Targets: More fruit, more exercise.

Until tomorrow,

Adios!

Day 5 - Friday 26th January 2007

Alrighty There People!

Just another quick update cos it's late (again)

Okay, today I think I have done really well, turning down all sorts of goodies all day. Went shopping tonight and bought fruit and stuff, so that's good too.

Today's intake was as follows:

07:50 - Shreddies with Semi Skimmed milk
07:55 - 1 Actimel drink
08:40 - 1 small cup of water
10:00 - 1 small cup of water
11:00 - 1 small cup of water
12:36 - 1 small cup of water
12:50 - 2 white bread rolls, ham and cheese
13:20 - 1/4 honey dew lemon
13:46 - 1 small cup of water
14:50 - 1 small cup of water
16:00 - 1 small cup of water
16:45 - 1 small cup of water
19:15 - Dinner: Chicken, chips, 3 garlic balls
19:20 - Glass of water
21:00 - 1 pint of water
23:00 - Hot chocolate (no milk)

So today I've taken in mostly liquids, and not much solids. Keep this up and I should start seeing the benefits! Rock On.

Weekend starts now, and that's always hard - I usually snack and scoff away. So if you'd like to leave me some encouraging, motivating comments, that would be MUCH appreciated!

I'll post the pics tomorrow.

Adios!
