Three weeks and no pizza!!!!!

Just wanted to let everyone know that I have now had 3 weeks without pizza what a result.

Lets hope we can keep up the good work

Another day another life!

It seems that changes must like most things come in threes. 1) Healthlier eating 2) Forced to find a new job 3) Moving home

Now while the first too I can control 100%, the 3rd one is alittle more tricker, I need to move out from where I am living but I must do it in a way that I dont loose everything I own, but to be bruttly honest its getting to the point where it might actually be worth it, hey it would force a fresh start thats for sure.

Well, as now certainly is a time of change, my eating change will take some sticking to, but I am actually starting to feel like I am loosing weight, the stairs dont casue me to be out of breath, I am actually sleeping when I go to bed instead of waking up every other moment thinking I cant breath and well my body feels tighter. I know thats a strange thing to say but it does, those of you that have never needed or wanted to loose weight might not know what I mean, but I am hoping others do, or maybe I am the only one!

Back on the water today after a day off yesterday, really did miss it, just finished some grapes which while not overaly nice are much better than chocolate or other sweets.

Still havent made my soups, but with all thats happening its hardly suprising, but with the change of wind my come some time to myself, well actually quite alot. I dont mind admiting I am scared of what the future is about to bring, but I know it must be better than what would be coming if I didnt make a change.

Till next time

Thought i had forgotten about you all?

Although its been a while since my last update i have been sticking to my change of eating and its really starting to take hold, the sugar headaches have long gone and although i still fancy chocolate alot i dont feel the need i did to eat it.

Started today on a good note i had 8 hours of sleep last night which hasnt happened in a very long time and i have just had my breakfast which was a bowl of wheatabix which should set me up for the day.

Until later

What a day that was!

My first working day without a signal up date, that should tell you how busy I was yesterday, although on the upside thanks to my great new phone when I got home I didnt have to switch on a computer as I could do everything I needed to from my phone, what a result.

The change of eating is still going well, had a lovely healthly spag bol last night made by my other half, it really was nice. I even managed to stay within my RDA of CAL's yesterday which is the first time in a week.

Today is just as busy but managed to steel a few minutes to myself.

Oh a great tip, not mine but give to me, if your struggling for money like I am sure we all are, get a big box and go around every room in your house and put in it what ever you A) Dont use B) Dont Want C) Think might be useful to somoene else, I am going to do that tonight and see how much stuff I can get together, its a big box but I am sure I will easerly fill it. Then all I have to do is wait for a free listing day on ebay and I should be able to help the very unhealthly bank balance.

Also I am actually starting to feel lighter on my feet, which might sound really strange but I do, still need to do some more excercise but once the weight starts to come of more and the bank balance improves that will become easier, I really want to get back into bike riding, I wasnt a speed demon or anything but I just enjoyed riding a bike, so it will be nice to get back to it.

Anyway this might be my only update today, so enjoy

 Until the nex time

Another weekend another fight

Why i am always suprised when i fight with the other half is beyond me, its always about the same stuff and theres never a resoultion, i really dont think we are far from never talking to each other.

Anyway the diet, saturday was ok i went upto 102% of my rda but sunday was about 180, went for a sunday dinner with the outlaws and had way to much wine but didnt do anything to bad so dont think the locks will be changed when i get home but they might be lol

Today is going ok, just had lunch and am at 48% of my rda, but as the other half is off sick it will be upto me to do shopping and dinner, so wont be eating until late which is never good.

Might be able to do a late update, i hope so as i do enjoy knowning so many people are reading and hopefully enjoying it

Another early start!!!

These early starts really are starting to take the piss, not that I mean to say I would be prefered to be without a job but getting a phone call at 7:55am when I am still ironing my shirt, asking can I get to work for 8:30 and its a 50 minute drive is really starting to grind.

Anyway, due to the early start I decided to treat myself to a breakfast cob, its my first in a week, and considering I was having them every working day I think is something to be proud of, what is more shocking is that when I was eating it, although I enjoyed the taste, I soon realised that I didnt enjoy it as much as I used to, infact by the end it tasted horrible. I am not sure if this is becasue I am now aware of how much fat is in it or just becasue I am watching what I eat and my taste buds are getting used to my new eating style (I wont say diet becasue I have always said I dont need a diet, I need to change what and eat and the way I think of food), but it just tasted bad. So I will set myself a challange to not have another one this month and see how many months I can get through, but if I get to decemeber without having another one I will be treating myself!!!!!

Last night was another fail on dinner, pizza again. I only have one day this weekend to experment with food as sunday we are going to the outlaws for the day which will be nice! lol

Hoping to try making soup and also a stew which I can freeze into good sized portitions and take to work with me to eat, although not sure how to do the defrosting part, can I just microwave it ? Sure I will figure it out. And yes before you point out in your thousands it will just turn into mush I know this, but it will be good tasty mush and maybe more importantly cheap mush lol

Might have soup for lunch today, but I always want bread with it, so might see what else I can find, is there a bread replacement out there? I would really love to find one.

My aim for next week is to spag bol but use veggie mince, loads of vegtables and NO jar of sauce as they are full of alot of sugar!!!

Till after lunch

Getting worse

Sometimes we start things with the best intensions but somehow they just dont work out and while i dont think this blog is one it certainly taking more time than i thought, but i will do my best to update at least once a day.

Last night was home made spag bol which was very nice, just needed more veg in it, never thought i would ever say that.

Today has been another good day so far, had a full breakfast and a nice lunch, think at the weekend i will try making soup and stew, but not in the same pan lol

Oh and the cravings are going away and so are what i think where sugar withdrawl headaches, just need to see the results on the scales.

Lunch time again

Back having 4 slices of bread for lunch which i know is wrong but i just miss eating bread, its strange how strong the pull of bread is.

I also had a packet of crisps but am still only at 52% of my rda which is good, dinner again will be a pick and mix but i will find something healthly to eat, maybe a nice tuna salad.

Seem to be getting behind with these posts will try harder

Just a quick update, last nights dinner was prob very bad for me, a few chips, sausage and curry sauce, I am guessing it will be the curry sauce which blows my RDA out the window, but I am yet to put it into the caleroie counter, maybe becasue I am to nervous about what it will tell me, but I will do that at lunch.

On the upside I have had breakfast today, a nice small bowl of shreddies, I did have some sugar on it but no where near as much as I would normally, eventually I will replace all my sugar with sweetner, but just cant stomach the taste of it at the moment. Although I have noticed that already my taste buds are changing as even the small amount of sugar I had this morning was very very very sweet, which I am taking as a good sign, kind of like when smokers stop smoking and they begin to taste everything a fresh, I think I am going through that process now.

Will update my calaroie counter at lunch and let you know how I am getting on.

Thanks for sticking with me, it will be a long wrong but worth while

Sorry for no updates

What a weekend everytime i picked up my phone the other half was giving me grief for texting someone even though i wasnt but thats another story. The weekend went well for the weight loss, never went over my rda which is always good, at 46% for today which is even better and despite the other half doing a big shop last week i bet theres nothing in for dinner, will do my best to update later, i dont want to fall out with all you long term readers lol

Well what a start to the day

Sorry for not posting this morning but my phone hasnt stopped ringing, wouldnt mind but everyone was told something was broke but everyone seemed to still want to phone and ask me did i know it was broke? When i answered yes i know i broke it, it didnt go down well.

Anyway moan over, i have surcome to a sausage cob again this morning but i needed the help with my shocking head ache which i am starting to wonder if its down to my changing diet, if it is it needs to stop and fast lol. Just had my lunch a nice can of soup with 3 slices of bread and the bread had more cals in than my soup, so soup could be the way forward espically if my friends suggestion of making my own soup goes down well although not sure how i will work the cals out but sure i will get there.

Probbaly wont be able to post again until after dinner, but at least i know what that is, a nice gammon joint and no not to myself lol

Being Honest

With not having breakfast today I was determind to buy some grapes at lunch and I did, however I also bought two small bottles of diet coke and a packet of fruit pastillies. I toyed with the idea of not being honest on this blog and just telling you that I had only purchased the grapes, but I made the desicion when I started this blog to be totally honest and I will be. Its also something I am trying to do more in my peronnel life, but I dont want you all thinking I am a consent liar becasue I am not.

Along with this honesty comes a few shocks, like the shock that my grapes are only 9% of my RDA of cal's but a packet of crisps is 13% which is madness when you consider that I have way more grapes compared with crisps per packet. So looks like grapes are here to stay.

Due to not having breakfast I have 54% of my RDA cals left which is good in one way but I am not happy with not having breakfast so it wont be happening again.

Dinner should be chicken kievs with jacket spuds, a strange mix I grant you but should fill a very large hole, which hopefully is getting smaller.

Early Start again!!!!

So I was having a nice snooze this morning when I got woken up by being shouted at, I was not going to use this site to have a moan about anything other than my weight loss, but you know what, I love moaning so until someone tells me to shut up I will continue to moan and even after that happens I shall probbaly continue.

Becasue of the early start again enforced on me due to someones sickness I didnt have time to stop at the shop on the way into work, so tomorrow I am going to get up early and get to the shop so when they are sick again which they will be I can get to the shop and not worry.

What does all that mean? No breakfast today and only my topped up bottle of water to get me through and with this massive headache I am nursing I really want a sasuage cob, to make things worse I have to go to the post office at lunch so will only have time to grab a snack at lunch, need to be really good and get some grapes at the same time to see me through to dinner, which despite me buying food yesterday will no doubt be takeaway again.

Lets hope lunch brings something nice to eat and I can take some painkillers for this headache

Dinner day 2

Dinner was almost planned a nice chicken pie and oven fries, still feeling hungry but aims for tomorrow involve snacking on grapes all day which should help, sorry for the short post but this will be the third time i have tried to upload this now

Mid afternoon cravings on day 2

Well stupidly by the time i was going back to work i didnt leave myself enough time to go to the shop, which meant i avoided the sweets and fizzy pop but also the fruit grrrrrr. But on the upside the cravings arent as bad today and i have just made £50 on ebay which is a plus point.

Still no clue what I will be having for dinner but 54% of my rda of cals left so who knows.

Lunch day 2

.Well After my breakfast this morning and after just finishing my lunch I am at 46% of my RDI of cals, which is not to bad but I am still to figure out what I will have for dinner although a pot noodle is sounding rather tasty right about now lol.

I am still feeling hungry but a friend has suggested I learn to love fruit so I will buy some before I go back to work, hopefully a punet of grapes, if they dont have them dont know what I will get as I really dont like any other fruit. Plus staying away from the pop and sweets will take alot of effort on my behalf, I really wish weight loss showed instant results. This is going to be so hard, but worth it.

Early start

Well day 2 is off to a bad start, got called into work early due to sickness which meant I didnt have time to have breakfast. I know what your thinking, breakfast is the most important meal of the day, well I agree with that so on the way to work I stopped at a shop and bought a sausage,bacon and egg bread roll. Which I know is probally one of the worst things I could have bought, but to try and balance it I bought a bottle of watter instead of pop, but i have to admit I am not looking forward to putting it into my cal counter, I really need to remeber how to spell caleroie otherwise someone may think I am counting callums lol.

Not sure how much I will be able to update this today, but will do my best

Dinner day 1

Well sadly I was right dinner was pizza, I know it was so bad, I know how bad thanks to my new cal counter courtsey of fatsecret.com it was 73% of my recomended cal intake which for one meal is scary, espically considering normally by this time of day I would have already been way over my recommended daily intake, as it stands now I am just over it only slightly but I am over it, so tomorrow I need to redouble my efforts.

I wonder how much I will update this tomorrow. Well we shall see.

Mid afternoon cravings

Well its that time of day where its not close enough to home time but also not far enough away from the start of work. By now normally I would have had 3 bottles of fizzy pop and a chocolate bar plus some sugar sweets and boy do I want them now, yes all of them together please. But I wont, more to do with lack of money but also becuase I know it was eating and drinking that stuff which made the weight problem so bad, really cant think what to have for dinner, suspect it will be pizza takeaway, but I will try to avoid that and if I cant keep it to a minimum.

Lunch Day 1

Well just had lunch and I choose to cut my bread down from 4 slices to 3 with the aim of eventually ending up having only 2. Its more about re teaching myself that just because I can eat 4 slices doesnt mean I have to.

But having said that I still feel so hungry and I know its just in my mind and with the size of me I wont waste away.

It will be so nice when I get down to where I want to be and wont fill this hungry after eating.

Wonder what joys dinner will bring? Hopefully not takeaway

First Post

Well I had one of those christmas that many people will have had, you get things you dont want or need and then things which make you sit back and think. Well this year I pretty much got clothes which were way to big for me, which meant people must have thought I am fatter than I am, which some might think isnt a bad thing. But to me it was. So I am now on a crusade to loose weight, not by doing any number of crazy diets but simply by cutting out the crap I eat and drink and also by creating this blog and using it as my food diary and a place to vent.

Also I am trying to do this in as much secrecay as possible so I can prove to myself that I can do it without people in my day to day life asking me how its going or nagging when they see me eating a chocolate bar, because, I will slip up from time to time I am only human after all. There is one exception to that and I do have a friend who will be there to support me every step of the way and was the main point of inspuration for me to do this.

Anyway first ramble over, if you find this and want to stick with me great, if not feel free to check back next year to see how I got on
