Almost Done
13.1 kg @ Day 33!!!
Well, I have been off the smokes for 2 months and on the diet for just over 4 weeks!! I am happy with the progress so far. I can see the end in sight. Only 6kgs or so to go and I will be happy.
The most surprising thing is that on average I have lost 0.4kg a day. I wonder how long that will maintain. People are starting to feel confident to say 'Have you lost weight'?. I FEEL SO MUCH MORE CONFIDENT IN MY SELF TOO!!!
You know what sucks though is that I look like such a dag in all of my clothes now. I am going to wait until I am at my goal weight before I buy anything. So next time you are out and see a guy wearing clothes two sizes too big, that will be me!!!
Today was the first day I deviated, but I knew I would as it was an event that I had to attend. I kept a fairly tight control over my intake, except for a few sneaky crumbed calamari and a few spoonfuls of a rice salad.... Oh well I have skiped dinner to make up for it!!!
Went for the blood test the other day and had the worst experience. The vampire went straight through a muscle to get to a vein, hurt like hell. I have had plenty of blood tests in my time and this was taken from the strangest place. So I conclusion, am not going back there again.
So my favorite dish is one that I made up and it goes a bit like this:
Chicken Basil Patties
- Chicken
- Basil (Fresh) - I assume I am allowed this as a fresh herb!!!
- Red Onion
- Garlic Powder
- Ginger Powder
- Onion Powder
- Salt
- Tsp of Sweetener
Blend and form into chicken patties then pan fry
Serve on a bed of fresh spinach leaves and cucumber and mix in Paw Paw pieces.
Salad Dressing
If I feel like a salad dressing then 1/8th Lemon (Juice), Balsamic Viniger and some Sweetener and mix it together.... delicious.
Anyway, the diet has worked so far and even though I am still a little skeptical about the magical scientific methodology behind it, I appreciate the strict guidelines for the food quantities and type and in a funny sort of way the monetary outlay has been the big incentive to stay focused and on track!!!
By the way, I have got back $100 from MBF for Cohen's, which helped. As a little tip also I rang MBF up yesterday with the intention of cancelling membership and they offered me $250 to stay with them... so if you want a free month or so cover then maybe try the same thing, I was shocked that they would offer so much, so I then rang up the credit card company and got them to return my annual credit card fee of $150, Telephone Company dropped monthly phone charge by $20 and the Broadband people dropped monthly charge by $20. All I did was threaten to leave.
So anyway thanks to you all for the encouragement in the previus post and will get back to you soon.
