A bit of this and a bit of that

Yes, I know; vitamins supplements are really intended for those who don’t follow a proper diet, and I’m pretty sure that I get my fill of all the nutrients, minerals and vitamins I need. Having said that, we always try to take our vitamins, Arthur gets kiddie ones and we [...]

Well, I haven’t really got into my diet 100%. I’m sort of winding down, which is sort of working, as I’m eating less garbage and starting to work on the healthy foods. For example, I could be having a chocolate pudding at the moment, instead I have a pile of frozen fruit with [...]

I’ve found these great M&S noodles which I had for lunch; they’re just 300 calories and made from fresh ingredients; as opposed to plain old pot noodles. You simply add hot water and off you go. I still find it quite strange that M&S have a complete range of branded items you can get in [...]

Well, that time has come again, where the scales have starting complaining and it’s time to knock a few kilos back. The truth is that over Xmas I put on a few kilos and for some reason I haven’t managed to get back into the right mindset to start losing weight again. Anyway, target is [...]

So, I’ve taken a bit of a break off my diet over Christmas. I as expecting to put on weight as we were visiting our families in Malta and having lunch with one family and dinner with the other.

Well, this week hasn’t been too bad, but I don’t think I’ve managed to lose any weight. My social life has just been a bit too hectic and I’ve been eating out lots (including a trip to the Chinese last night). I knew I’d be having a big meal, so I skipped [...]

Well, the first week of my diet is almost over and I’m getting used to the routine of staying at 1500 calories a day. The nice thing about it is that it’s helping me identify when I tend to snack and where my weight increase comes from. It’s mainly “cleaning up” after Arthur, or snacking [...]

Well, today has been much much better than yesterday. I’m still under my 1500 calorie quota, which means I can even afford a biscuit if I want it. It’s quite a simple diet really, no phenocal or any other drugs. The trick is to sum up all the calories you eat and stay [...]

So, I’ve started counting calories again. I mainly manage to keep my weight stable without trying too hard, but over summer I’ve put on a couple of kilos every time I went on holiday. With three different holidays you can guess the damage .. and unless I stay on the straight and narrow, [...]
