Day 10 – Update

Today I have eaten healthily. I had my usual bran flakes for breakfast with some berries on top. Then at 11am I have a toasted wholemeal pita bread with some ham and lettuce. I went out to the shops at lunch. I had intended to walk, but I had to go to the bank to lodge a cheque, so I drove. I will make up for this later by walking to the local shop this evening.

At the shops I bought a few packs of sandwich filler. One tuna and sweetcorn, one chicken and bacon, and one chicken and stuffing. They are awesome!

I spent about 10 minutes on the power plate today too. Every time I have a minute free I turn around and jump on. It is excellent. Well, back to work now.

Day 9 – Update

I had a good day food wise today. At 11am I had a pita bread. Then again at 2:15pm. Between my two pita breads I walked to the shop. Another one of my lifestyle changes.

This evening, I had lasange for dinner. Again it was pretty nice. It was something I would not have eaten regularly before, but it is quite tasty. I also had a couple of glasses of Adez too.

Day 8 – Update

I was out with a customer today, and our meeting went on much later than expected. I didn’t get to leave their office until after 10:30pm. I ended up eating lunch with them at 1:30pm. I had a chicken caesar salad. But then I didn’t eat anything else for the afternoon. When I arrived home at 11pm, I had a bowl of berries with some yoghurt. I wasn’t happy that I didn’t get a proper dinner. I will be back to my proper health eating tomorrow.

Day 8

Todays “weigh in” has me feeling good. The scales went to 94.2kgs and then just before it gave me my final reading it moved to 94.3kgs. It means that in the first week I have lost 1.3kgs. I am really happy with that. I am on the way!

I am working from home this morning, but after lunch I have to go to view a customer. Again, I am going to eat at home and before I meet my customer, and then make it home for dinner.

I didn’t get to use the power plate yesterday, so I am going to do a 15 minute workout before I leave the house today. I am really looking forward to it, because I do feel really good after it.

Day 7 Update

I was working until about mid night this evening, and didn’t get to use the power plate, but I did eat healthily. For breakfast I had a bowl of bran fakes with strawberries on top. Then I had a glass of Adez fruit juice and soya. At about 11am I had a pita bread with tuna, sweetcorn and lettuce. I had another pita bread about 2pm, and then at 6pm I had  a lovely lasange, with a green salad. It was all good. This evening I was feeling a bit peckish, so I grabbed a yogurt. And I had two litres of water during the day. Overall I am happy with my day, apart from the lack of exercise.

Day 7 – Weight Loss Pattern

One thing I noticed about the days that I have lost weight. On each of these days I have been drinking Adez fruit juice and soya drink. It contains soya protein. Is it possible that this is a factor?

Day 7

This mornings weigh in is good! I am down to 94.7kgs. Thats over 1/2 a kg since yesterday! I think that must be due to eating so late on Saturday night. Fingers crossed I will get down below 94.6kgs tomorrow, and that will mean I am down 1kg in the first week.

I am still on track with the healthy eating. I did have a desert yesterday afternoon, but I am trying to cut out all of the unhealthy snacks throughout the day. I still intend to eat like a normal person!

The Power Plate is going well too. I haven’t been to the Power Plate centre to get a training plan yet, so I am working on my own workouts, rather than a specific plan. I hope to go there this week and let them give me a more structured workout plan.

I am out meeting a customer today, but it is not a lunch meetings, so I intend to bring a packed lunch with me and eat it on the way. I have to drive about two hours to the meeting, so I will stop at some stage and have a bite to eat in each direction.

At the moment I am using will power to get me to my goal. I am thinking about setting up some kind or a reward sysem with milestones to keep myself focused. I am not sure if I need it, but I might set my self a few milestone goals, and reward my self!

Day 5 – Update

Had a pretty mad day today with work. I was working until about 3:30am this morning, and have been working all day today (Saturday) too. Looks like I won’t be finished until about 8pm. Then I am going out for dinner in a seafood restaurant. Looking forward to that.

I had a pitta bread about an hour ago. I had it with cheese, ham and cucumber. It was very nice. Again, haven’t had ay goodies today. And I have cut out the poinless snacks. In the past if I was working until 2 or 3 am, I would go to the fridge and grab a bar of chocolate or some kind of snack. But last night, nothing, and I still felt great.

Day 4 – Update

Today got off to a bad start. I was expecting a good loss today, but I ended up being up .1kgs. I was a bit down this morning, but in the end I had a good day. I was out with a customer for lunch, and I had a chicken caesar salad. I enjoyed it. Then this evening I had some fish, some potatoes and some vegetables. I also ate half a muffin for desert. A little naughty, but this is not strictly a diet, more a move towards healthier eating and reducing the amount of junk that I was eating.

It is much easier to stick to a strict eating plan, and to eat the regular meals when I am working from home. Luckily, I work from home most days.

Day 3 – More Power Plate

This afternoon I was sitting in my home office/gym room. The Power Plate was behind me, and after getting a bit frustrated with some customers, I decided to take a five minute break and do some more “Power Plating”.

I did some upper body work. Just three exercises; Bicep Curl, Press Up and Shoulder Press. Five minutes later I felt much better and went back to work.

For dinner, I had another chicken stir fry. It was good. Not as nice as yesterdays, but ok.

Tomorrow I have to visit some customers, and then go out for a dinner with some colleagues, so my eating pattern will change. I will try to stick to my new eating regime as much as possible, but I think Saturdays “weigh in” may be my first stumbling block. Hopefully not though!
