Day 15 and Day 16 consumption

DAY 15

Breakfast -

• Apple pieces and Grapes

Lunch -

• Hot Dog with Tomato Sauce

Snack -

• Sausage Roll

Note: The day started off great. I took my wife and our kids to Australia Zoo for family day. The hot dog was probably the healthiest option there for lunch :S After a great time at Aussie Zoo though, I discovered some disheartening news concerning my relationship, and once again withdrew. The sausage roll was a direct result of "FUCK IT ALL TO HELL!" mood I was in. I also skipped dinner because of that.

So Sunday's eating correctly is a: FAIL!

However, as far as exercise is concerned, we walked a marathon at Australia Zoo for 3 hours, and then spent an hour and a half at the local swimming pool. I managed to squeeze in 30 sit ups before being utterly spent and going to bed. I didn't get the 100, but that isnt exactly a requirement.

Sunday Exercise: SUCCESS!

Day 16

Snack 1:

• 1 Piece of Vegemite toast

Breakfast -

• Chicken wrap (lettuce, carrot, tomato)
• Bluetongue Juice (Strawberries, blueberries, mango, other delicious stuff)

Lunch -

• 2 cruskits
• 50gms of Pretzels
• 1 apple

Snack 2:

• Choc-chip cookie

Dinner -

• Chicken, Bacon, Pineapple wrap. (Dont judge, it tastes awesome!)

Eat correctly on Monday: SUCCESS!

And Monday is a day excempt from exercise. So HURRAH FOR ME!

Week Three - March 15 to March 21

Although I swear the pictures are making me look fatter and fatter, I have successfully lost 9 kgs in 2 weeks. Starting at 114kg, I am now at 105kg (and a lot fitter too).

And although the pictures dont show much change, my once tight belly is now a lot of loose skin (GROSS).

This week, after having a bit of a failure at eating last week, Im gonna try and focus on 3 meals a day, and at least 2 snacks. Energy/calorie content is not really much of a concern. I will allow myself the occasional chocolate if I want it, because the real results are in the weight lost, not the other numbers.

On top of that, the other part of my challenge is going to be at least an hour of exercise a day. I have really been enjoying my exercise, and I want to get back into it to try and get those endorphines pumping (Endorphines: Great for distracting you when the person you miss most isn't around!)

Additionally, I really dont like my loose skin. My belly was a lot less gross when it was big and round and not entirely flabby! So Im gonna try and work at least 100 sit ups a day into that 1hr of excercise.

There are some days of my week that WILL NOT be possible to fit in an hours worth of exercise. Those days are Mondays and Thursdays, as I am simply at TAFE for too many hours. These days will not count towards succeeding or failing in my goal.

Current Weight: 105kg

End of Week: 101kg

Overall Goal: 80kg

21kg to go! That is really quite exciting. I started at 34, and im already 1/3 of the way there after 2 weeks!

End of Week Two

Ok, I started this week with these numbers:

Current weight: 109 kg
This week goal: 106 kg
Total Goal: 80 kg

This week, I weigh.... 105kgs!

I think last week I can count the number of times I ate on one hand. I definetly failed my weekly challenge, and for that I blame my suffering love life. My wife reveled things to me that I probably could have been better off not knowing, but at least I succeeded in losing a bit of weight.

Things are great between her and I atm, and I think I finally have my head around whats happening and will set my head straight now. (Of course, I think I have said that to her about 6 times in the last two weeks. >.<)

So for achieving my goal, thats 10 points, and an extra kilo on top of that (another 2 points) I earned 12 Reward points last week, bringing my total to 28.

Still have no idea what I will get with my reward points. Suggestions sorely needed.

Day 11 and 12.

Sorry guys, im going through a transition at the moment.

My break up with my wife turned out to be a little more than she original explained.  I had to come down to Brisbane to survive the shock.

Food has been non-existant, as has exercise over the last 2 days.  Copious amounts of vodka were drunk last night, I know that much.  Not sure of the dietry intake there though :P

I will get back on track next week I think.  I dunno.  Saying that too much recently.  I jsut dont know whats happening anymore.

Day 10 Consumption

Let me just start I had a very bad day, both emotionally and according to the diet.

Probably a connection there.

Breakfast -

• 1 Apple

Lunch - Skipped

Snack -

• 6 Delicious Chocolate Chip cookies (Stolen from the wife's fridge! Take that!)
• 2 Cadbury Creme Eggs (2 for $2.50 at the servo while driving to Brisbane. Yes please!)

• Medium Diet Coke

Exercise

None! There is a hurricane. It is ruining my plans for a fit and healthy me!

Day 9 Consumption

Breakfast -

• Apple (220 kj)
• 2 Cruskits (230 kj)
• Bowl of Watermelon (130kj per 100g. Guesstimate 200kj)

Total KJ - 220 + 230 + 200 + 950 + ??? + 1029 + 230 + 1800 + 742 + 220 = 5601 kj

Monday goal = FAIL!

lots of exercise today. Swimming in the morning for 45 minutes. THAT got my heart pumping. Tried pushing my dead car uphill in the rain. And finally, 10 minutes on the exercise bike.

Although I think I am gonna fail the weekly challenge, I think I'm doing things right.

Day 8 Consumption

This is for Sunday. Still no net, so the posts will be a little delayed.

I decided on Sundays I will take it a little bit easier. Its the start of a new week, hopefully following a successful week, so I deserve to enjoy myself and not worry too much. That is not to say I will ruin everything I achieved, but jsut take it easier.

Breakfast - I took the kids to McDonalds to play in the playground while thier mother went and did things.

• 2 Hash Browns (1030kj)
• 1 Hot cake (3 Hotcakes with butter and syrup is 2760kj. I had 1, with no butter or syrup so lets guess, 700kj)

Lunch -

• 1 Apple (220kj. Thanks Wikipedia!)
• 2 Cruskits (nothing on it. Yumm! 230kj)

Dinner -

• 1 Apple (220kj)
• 2 Cruskits (230kj)
• McDonalds Classic Crispy Chicken Burger (It was after 9pm, no wrap :( It's still pretty healthy. 2010 kj. Maybe not :O )

Snacks -

• Parker's Pretzels (Only ate half the bag. Go me! 817kj)
• Can of Pepsi Max (5kj. You read that right! Not gonna reach my kj quota through pepsi.)

KJ total - 1030 + 700ish + 220 + 220 + 230 + 230 + 2010 + 817 + 5 = 5462 kj.

Quota for Sunday: FAIL!

Still, im not feeling too hard on myself. I was eating when I should, even though I wasn't hungry. This whole seperation thing has assasinated my appetite. So although I missed the quota, at least I know I am on the right track.

Exercise

Took the kids in the pram around the block. they add 30kgs, and its a lot of uphill walking, so it can get tough. Roughly 5.5k's.

Did 2km on the exercise bike in 4 minutes 10 seconds. When I started last week, it took me 5 minutes flat. Getting better :)

Last night after failing to fall asleep the first time, I went for a drive (thats when I got my cripsy chicken from McD's, figured I needed a bigger dinner). It was beautifully windy, and since sleep wasn't coming, I went to the beach. Tried twirling the firestick, but the wind made it incredibly difficult, so I just walked along the beach in the dark. Sounds lonely and pathetic, but water and wind both raise my spirits, and I was having happy memories. Was really good. Did about 1.5 kilometres.

EDIT: I didn't list it, and I probably won't from now on, but I also drank about 3 or 4 litres of water. Constantly working out, constantly drinking. Constantly pissing too :S . From now on, just assume I had a lot of water, cause I can't keep track of how much im drinking.
