P.S. And It clears my sinuses

Friday, 5 days in on the Diet

Well, yes, five days in on the diet. As I have had a some sort of bug or virus, I haven't been eating much, and certainly not crap. Yesterday however, I did have some crap, too much actually, as I felt really hungry after so many days of eating hardly anything. However, I won't let that be a habit, I have bought healthy fresh food today, veg and fish, and in that manner I will continue. I really want to lose that weight before the sales, 4 kilos will make all the difference.

Official weigh in on Wednesday, on both the scales and the wiifit: 79 kilos. Lets see next Wednesday.

I am feeling lately more positive and happy. I feel I am looking forward to many things in life, and I am happy with my life as it is now. Of course, I want to get well, and I am doing little things each day, and I can feel that I am on the path to getting better. I try not to look at the big picture to much, as it can be a bit daunting, just step by step, getting further and further on my own, traveling, doing things, so my confidence changes in my abilities to do things and with it the chemistry in my brain that makes everything seem as it does.

I am happy at my job, happy at home with X, and I have time and space to get myself in good health so that ultimately I can bring my child into this world.

First day, Goal, 4 kilos in 1 month

The first day of the month, a monday, countdown to the sales... what better moment that to start a diet, and general plan of leading a healthier life?

Well, I got on the wiifit, and put an objetive of losing 4 kilos this month. (Actually I made a mistake and put that I want to put on 4 kilos, so it was a really pain to change, I had to get on the wiifit with petit on my shoulder and convince it I had put on the weight. Having done that I managed to change it).

Official weigh in is on Wednesday. I have put just over a kilo on, and I am not surprised, during the summer I was swimming every day, now I am doing no exercise, and work does not count as exercise... So good food, exercise, a recording of what I eat, a vitamin everyday (the moment I get back from work it should be in my hand), and meditation/taichi/yoga. EVERYDAY, even christmas. I must say that I am not so tempted by those times, we don't have greedy things in the house, I am not such a fan of what people eat here at christmas, and I will just keep the portions small.

When I get to my first goal, and hit the sales, I won't go mad either, as under 70 is my ultimate goal... So I will buy just some things, that will look good when I lose weight.

..... I CAN DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

P.S. Will you diet with me mum? Track EVERYDAY your food in the blog? We can weight watch each other... by the way, I have the game of no deal downloaded, but not in my nds, but ready for when you come.

I haven't been writing this lately, maybe because I have a diary on the computer that I am doing more. It is really cold, I am tired, and I can't think of anything to put. I would at least like to record my food diary here.

Bet you didn't know that this game had come out?

Sunday Morning: 78. something. I was not bad, and not good yesterday. I am happy because I had fruit, veg, and lentils, but I also had a packet of crisps, some apple pie. The crisps are a type that I really liked and they stopped making them. Now, they have bought them back and they cost 70 cents more! Only because they have a few grams. When I had them, they didn't taste anything special, in general, the crap I can access to, doesn't taste special at all and not even worth having, being sometimes the reason that I eat just out of habit, boredom, or a sort of association with eating crap and relaxing or being compensated for being tired from work etc.

So I will try to continue more as the first day, eat pleanty of fruit and veg, nuts and lean protein, and when I do have a treat, have something i REALLY want, so that I enjoy it, not just eat things for the sake of it.

Detox

Well, it was not exactly a detox. I am not even sure to what point I believe in them after seeing a documentary on the bbc about this subject. However, I did think my body would benefit from cutting down and eating certain foods as a I way of starting my diet. I felt quite hungry, but I ate quite frequently, having soup, yogurt, quite a lot of fruit (a few tangerines, apple and a banana), a piece of fish, and at night I had one round of toast with a sante cheese on it (I wasnt going to have any bread, but in the end I felt a bit sick and did so). I also drank loads of water.

I didnt go toilet yesterday, or this morning, so I think I can safely say that I can have a yoghurt without having diarrhea, I think it is maybe when I have more than one, or too many creamy things.

I went on the scales, and I was 78 something, I think 78 8 o 7, not sure, I was half asleep, but I did look properly to make sure it was not 79 something and was 78 something, and it was, and that was all that seemed important. Then I am where I started, to continue my diet and finally do the next lap, which is to weigh less than 70 kilos, that is, minimum 69.9...

I have many reasons to lose the weigh, so I hope to continue this way...
