-0.6kg

Not a bad effort. This new diet diary is working well.

:D :D :D

Ok. So. Its time to pony up. After my *amazing* weight loss, this is where I stand. Back at square 1. Well, maybe square 2. I'm still a little lighter and have more knowledge than I did when I started this journey.

Weight: 91.3kg
Chest: 106cm
Waist: 91cm
Hips: 119cm
Thigh: 69cm

Sooo...

I have been doing bootcamp for the last 6 weeks. It has been a hell of a lot of fun, but I haven't been taking my diet seriously enough. I know, I know. A treat here, a snack there. I rationalise that 'normal' people can do it, why can't I? Well, I'm not normal. I can't do these things.

I have been measured up all over again. As part of the fitness testing for the bootcamp. I don't have my stats at the moment, but I know my lovely 70cm waist... wasted. I'm 91.3kg as of this afternoon. I've hefted another 20+ kg in the past few months. Bugger me sideways with a red hot poker. That's gotta go.

So. For the next 7 weeks, until I get fitness tested again, here is my basic plan.

Breakfast
Oats & Protein
Museli w/ skim milk
both with fruit and maybe some almonds.
Coffee or green tea.
occasionally - toast with cream cheese and a protein shake

M'tea
Low fat yogurt.
Celery/cucumber/capsicum and ricotta
Fruit

Maximum 3 cafe coffees per week.

Lunch
Tinned tuna/chicken and salad w/beans.
Egg (optional)

Leftovers from dinner,
Thai, no rice, extra veg,
Soup and a bit of bread
Meal replacement shake.

1 free lunch per week.

A'tea
Protein bar or apple

Dinner
Soup and toast
1 burger (home made, low fat) w/ salad,
Thai - extra veg, no rice
1 small pita pizza
Meatballs and steamed veg
Marinated lean meat w/salad/steamed veg
Savoury baked ricotta
Casseroles
Ricotta and meat filo w/ steamed veg
Savoury/chilli mince
Chicken skewers

1 free dinner per week

Snacks
Yogurt w/ protein and berries
Baked ricotta w/ protein and fruit
Fruit
Vita weats w/ tuna OR cream cheese OR low fat cheddar
Boiled egg

Other stuff
No daily limit on chocolate. But not allowed more than 1 block dark chocolate per fortnight. Min 70% cocoa.


I have put all of this info into an excel spreadsheet. And plotted out weekly charts. As I enter each meal/snack, I shade the box with a colour. Pale yellow for good. Pale orange for things that aren't bad (i.e. eating a protein bar straight after lunch cuz I'm still hungry. It's not a blow out, but not something I want to do often). Orange for things that are moderately bad. Red for diet fails (cookies), and Black for the worst of the worst.
The idea being that I will be able to look at it visually, without having to read it, and see exactly how my week has been. And the week runs from Monday to Sunday. That way, I can look at it on Sunday and be more motivated to stick to diet while I don't have a work routine to keep me otherwise occupied.

Hello, is this thing on?

Ok. So. Its been a while. Last we heard, I was super skinny, super sexy, and a fucking champion. And now...

I'm fat again.

Fuck.







I had a bit of a mental meltdown. Ate everything in sight. Lost my gym mojo. Well, really, who could blame me. I have all but stopped the gym at the moment. I am now doing outdoor bootcamp 3 nights a week. And loving it. I have just finished a six week course. New fitness testing Monday.

On Monday I'm going to publish my weight and measurement. And a new diet plan I've written up. I need this blog to lose weight successfully.
