Positive Results
I have decided to update my blog just once a week as it takes up quite a lot of the night thinking of things to say. So I will start with Fridays food diary. For breakfast I had a bowl of Golden Grahams, my favourite cereal by a clear mile! Couldnt believe they even discontinued these a few years ago, Cinamon Grahams dont even come close to how good these are, I mean who puts cinamon on their cereal? Its just not right. For lunch I thought I would make egg and soldiers, I tried this last week after watching Heston cook the "perfect" boiled egg. The ones I made last week didnt even look remotely like his! Apparently you put the eggs in a pan of cold water and bring to the boil. Once the water starts to boil, take it off the heat straight away and leave for 6 minutes. I did this to the exact time but they still came out hard. Nice one Heston! My next attempt was however more successful with the aid of device from the £1 Shop! It basically changes colour dependant on how you like your eggs, and it worked a treat! Would definately recommend it to anyone who doesnt seem to get egg boiling quite right. For dinner Jenna cooked Ham, mushroom and onion pancakes, they were delicious! A definate regular on the menu if I have things my way. As Jenna is working now i'm looking after the kids more often on my own so can't really go out, thankfully Liam kept me company whilst bringing round FIFA 12. I've not played this game properly since about 2005 so knew i wasn't going to be all that good. Strangely enough I won the 1st game beating him 2-1, much to his disgust! That was the last time I beat him all night, worst result was getting thrashed by Oldham 6-1 when I was Blackpool. I had 5 cans of lager a pack of Discos and a Cheese and Jalepeno Relish sandwich before bed and didn't do any training in the gym. Maybe on my days off I shouldnt put too much crap in my body. After a weigh in I have lost weight???How?? I have no idea but i'm 13stone 6lbs.
Saturday for breakfast I had Golden Grahams again. Its the Liverpool, Man Utd match so had 5 friends round to watch it. Good game, made eventful by Liams constant outcries of "racist" every time Suarez got the ball. Thought I would get the old deep fat fryer and the mandolin out and make some home-made crisps to share out during the match. Made 2 big bowls full, they must have been ok cos they all went. Not only that, I had 2 packets of walkers crisps and 6 cans of lager!And what cooincides with lager........you guessed it,cigarettes. How disappointing. As long as it stays just when i'm drinking i'm not too fussed but I definately want to kick it out my life completely. I'm writing this and i'm starting to see why I got overweight in the first place and why i'm so unhappy with how i look!!! I dont think the "snacks" are helping my cause! A weigh in later will see if i'm right. For Dinner Jenna made a nice home-made spicy chicken,spinach and potato curry, it was lovely. Its been day off number 2 this week and it's weigh in time. Im 13stone 5lbs!!How is this happening? I have filled my body with crap all weekend and have been to the gym yet have lost 2 lbs in 2 days.Should I go on a lager and crisp diet?Haha!
Sunday for breakfast......you guessed it. Golden Grahams! Nothing really in the diary for today, its chill day. Eaten 1/4 of a honeydew melon for lunch today and our weekly Smoked Salmon tagliatelle for Dinner. I keep snacking still and ended up having 2 packets of walkers crisps, I keep saying to myself it wont be a problem because I keep going to the gym but thats no excuse. What doesnt help is that Lenny, my friend bought me a 48 pack! I will get a grip of the snacking at a weekend thats for sure. No day off today though, need to get rid of all the crap thats been put in my system. Went to do the old routine of cycle and weights, so ended up doing another 20km and beat my old time of 38:27 by 1minute and 10seconds. My new PB is now 37:17seconds.I was raging though because when i stopped pedalling the screen turned off without saving the result to my USB stick! It got me thinking though, do I start trying to beat my time every time I go...... After finishing on the bike I did a quick session in the resistance suite and worked on my bi's tri's shoulders and chest as per, but had 10 minutes on the boxing bag as well. Still weighing 13stone 5lbs so all is good for now.
Monday I mixed it up a bit and had a slice of cheese on toast for breakfast then went for a little trip to Kings Lynn for a mooch around. Every single time I go to Lynn I end up buying seeds and bulbs for the garden. Jenna is a little worried that we have soo much we could soon open up a shop. I've got flowers growing on every window sill! When did I turn so boring? Want to have a nice garden border for summer because I intend for us to spend more time in the garden this year. Not only that, we have to prepare for "Brooksys BBQ" just need to get a 18ft swimming pool, a patio heater/brazier and we're pretty much ready. Should be a good one this year. 30th June sounds like a good date as it's pay day the day before. For lunch today I ended up being drawn into Burger King to have the good old Angus. Fatties will never learn! Although it does feel a lot healthier than Mcdonalds, I still felt sick at the fact I had just eaten a Burger knowing it's burgers that brought me into this hole I feel i'm in. After being at work briefly I decided to go to the gym and work the BK off. Boring old me did 20km on the bike again at level 10 resistance. This time I beat my PB again! I beat it by another 53seconds, a new PB of 36:24. After I got home, we decided we weren't having Dinner tonight so just had a crisp sandwich, I know, I know, what the hell is this guy doing eating soo many crisps!!Too be honest I dont know, Ive never normally eaten this many! Anyway I didn't think I was doing too bad, well that's what I thought until I weighed myself. 13stone 7lbs. I guess the BK and all the crap at the weekend has caught up with me. Really gutted. An eye opener though. Must try harder. Must also stop eating Walkers!! Idiot.
Anyhow, until next time. Farvel!
