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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

I’ve switched to FatSecret to keep track of my diet. The main reason is that they have an app for my Android phone. When I buy something from a shop, I can just scan the barcode and it appears on my food diary (assuming it’s a product if knows about), which I thought was really [...]

I know I’m running the risk of sounding like a broken record, but I’ve decided to start calorie counting again. When I’m not doing it, I start eating rubbish and that’s what causes me to lose control of my weight. It’s not that I don’t know what I’m doing wrong, I guess it’s a problem [...]

So, the Christmas period is over .. ok, it’s been over for a couple of weeks now, and I’m well on my way to getting back on track with my diet. We had some relatives over, then Arthur‘s birthday, so it’s been a bit touch and go, but I’ve managed to lose one of the [...]

Well, the 2 weeks of holidays are almost at and end and it’s back to our routine on Monday. Arthur will be going back to school, I’ll be going back to work, gym and Camille and I will be going back on our diet. It’s been a fantastic 2 weeks; excellent to spend some time [...]
