A bit of this and a bit of that

photo credit: YLegrand Well, it’s a few days in and my diet seems to be getting on relatively well. Yesterday wasn’t such a good day, as I was out with a few friends in the evening and after a steak dinner, we hit a bar and ended up painting the town red. Today was a [...]

I’ve been thinking it’s about time I started working on a new diet again. I can manage to keep my weight constant, until I go on holiday or something and put on a couple of kilos; then it takes me half a year to knock them off. I’ve been hovering about the same weight for [...]

I’ve started changing how I snack in the evening, choosing to stay away from biscuits and chocolates and going for a healthier option. I’m snacking on frozen fruit and yoghurt today. It’s actually quite nice, especially as mixing the yoghurt into the frozen fruit turns it into something like icecream. I’m working hard at losing [...]

Image via Wikipedia Mummy cooked us an amazing dinner tonight: trout! It was really yummy, probably because it was only caught yesterday by a friend of ours. She baked it in the oven with almonds, added some veggies and new potatoes and everyone ate it right up! Well, to tell you the truth, the babies [...]

Well, Day 2 wasn’t as good as Day 1. Breakfast and Lunch were fine. I had cereal and a Subway sandwich (around 300 calories), but then I ended up eating out for dinner. Dinner was nice, we had some fruit as a starter, pork loin with baby potatoes and veg for main course and cheese [...]

I did [...]

Right, Easter is over and it’s time to get back on the diet. On the plus side, I’ve had a tummy but for a couple of days, which has meant I lost any extra weight I put on while we were away for Easter. I’m not using any weight loss products, so it’s down to [...]

I suppose the great thing about cleaning is that it’s one way to get your daily exercise regimen. It’s amazing how you use parts of your body you never knew you had when you’re half in a cupboard trying to clean old junk out. My diet should get a boost from this. I’m doing the [...]

Hmm .. I keep blogging about first days don’t I? Well, I’ve decided to kick the diet up a notch and have paid attention to what I was eating today. Breakfast and lunch were pretty good, but we did end up at the chippie for dinner. I had half a deep friend fish, a jacket [...]

Image by vieux bandit via Flickr 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 [...]
