A bit of this and a bit of that

You might have read in my previous blog posts that I’m currently on a mission to lose some weight, keeping my calories down to 1500 a day. It seems to be working well, but it also means that I’m reading more about the subject too. I came across a great post that talks about why [...]

I’ve decided to try a new way to record what I eat. Not that I had any problems with Calorie Counter, it’s a great website and extremely comprehensive. But, as I’m always playing with new websites and this one is a novel idea, I’ve decided to switch to TweetWhatYouEat.
The way it works is simple. [...]

So, it’s been around 2 months since I started my diet and today I had my official weighing. I’ve lost a total of 8 kilos so far which was a nice steady weight loss and I know I’ll be able to keep it off. The great thing is that it feels like I’ll be able [...]

So last week I posted how I had lost an entire stone on my diet in under 2 months. And to celebrate, we went out this weekend and ended up at a Chinese buffet in Ramsey. Needless to say, I can’t actually show I’ve lost an entire stone today, but I don’t even think I’ve [...]

My diet seems to be going pretty well and while checking my stats this morning, I’ve realised that I’ve dropped a whole stone (14oz). Here’s what my stats looks like:
I’m quite pleased actually, partly because I’m really losing weight, and partly because this diet is really sustainable. It’s been really impressive how I’m losing a [...]

So, I’m back from our little holiday in the UK and Italy and back on the diet. I was expecting to have gained more weight, but I only put on 1kg and I seem to have lost that over the last few days. Getting back on the diet has proved to be more challenging though, [...]

As per my previous post, we’re off on holiday for a few days. And this means that keeping my food diary is going to be a bit harder. I might actually give it a rest for a few days though I’ll be watching what I eat very closely so as not to lose all the [...]

Hmm .. don’t you ever get those day, or rather nights where you just can’t drop off? I don’t think it’s because I’ve got things on my mind, yes, there’s always work thoughts, auto insurance bill to pay and other things playing in my mind, but I think today it’s just that I had some [...]

I’m invited to a BBQ tonight, which should be fun as it means I’ll be guessing how many calories I’ll be eating. Luckily the person buying the food tends to by things in packets, so I should be able to sneak a peak at the nutritional values of what I’ll be eating. I’m not very [...]

So .. I’m 2 1/2 weeks into my diet and it’s still going well. Here’s a chart of my progress:

You can see that my weight has taken a downward trend, though the sawtooth you get from weighing yourself every morning is making me crazy (you’d get more stable action from some movers New York than [...]
