Let's try again...
-
Considering I started losing weight before I rejoined the Fern, I'm already there! Belts all down to the last notch. Pants falling off if I don't have a belt. Shirts of all kinds getting decidedly roomy.<br />
<br />
1.5kg from the goal now, but only 2 weeks to get there... picked up some more protein powder so that will be put to good use. Might do strength tonight after the rugby. -
111.0kg even this morning. Had a bit of a protein day yesterday, and instead of ordering pizza last night and restricting myself to two slices, I picked up T-bones, bbq'd those suckers and threw down some salad chaser (with Fetta). Awesome. And in other news: DDO today! I am about to hit a couple of meat pies after spending most of the morning digging up various bits of the yard with the landscaper dude. New garden shed and front yard turf (Sir Walter Buffalo) coming my way. I'm knackered, but loving it!

Lads, I reckon I'm sailing close to the rocks as far as diet goes. Last week Friday and today I've been having a bit of weirdness with my vision and the odd headspin. <br />
<br />
Usually those days I've had a lot of protein and tried to keep the overall intake down, but I'm not starving myself.<br />
<br />
Not enough carbs? Or is my metabolism sharpening up a bit and therefore need more food? -
got to have the carbs - your brain needs them - it's the only 'food' that it'll use!<br />
<br />
Carbs - oats for breakfast, kumara, rice or something for lunch, dinner, not really needed. And that would be at least a cup of oats (whole grain rolled), and at least a cup of uncooked rice for lunch, or 200-300g kumara (or pumpkin). Got to feed the machine NTA!<br />
<br />
get to a nutritionist - have your weekly schedule ready so they can then work out what your intake of carbs / proteins / fats need to be etc. -
Not avoiding carbs as such, just think I've been a bit careless on those days with energy input.<br />
<br />
I am avoiding "white" carbs though like spuds and white rice (and sugar, obviously) because I've seen too much evidence of their detrimental properties in litetature and my own diet. <br />
<br />
I have started getting into the oats though. At work I grab one of those microwave bowls (Uncle Toby's Cinnamon and Brown Sugar) and churn some organic yoghurt through it. Nice. -
Let me work my way into the horse food Bartman <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /> One step at a time.<br />
<br />
What I have been using for breakfast over the past few weeks is this:<br />
<br />

<br />
It tastes bloody good and has a fairly impressive nutritional readout. They do other cereals too. -
[quote name='Kirwan']Tastes good probably because each serving includes half your daily recommended sugar intake.<br />

Bloody hell, how ya goin there Bart jr ? <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /> not another one !!! -
I miss my horse food - ten egg white omelet at the moment for breakfast, with 200g kumara and veg etc in omelet just is not the same as the cup of oats, scopp of chocolate protein powder and 3 whipped egg whites... making my mouth water just thinking of it!

MMM, 17% sugar! Thats nearly half again more than the bottle of Mountain Dew in my fridge. When i started dieting the 2 things that went straight away were fizzy drinks and cereal. Will drink fizzies sometimes, cereal never. Horrible stuff. -
And Voltsy I'll bet I'm getting more protein from my cereal than Mountain Dew <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />

Was going to head out for a run last night but got caught up posting on TSF about the Wobblies, and putting kids to bed thereafter. Decided I'd do it this morning instead at 6AM.<br />
<br />
So I woke up about 5 and couldn't really get back to sleep. Went downstairs and weighed in at 111.2kg and was quite pissed off about it to be honest, having been there or thereabouts for a few days.<br />
<br />
Got into my running gear and took out my anger on the road. Smashed out a PB of 5.42 km in 32:19 @ 10.06km/h. Took nearly a minute off my time of the other night, which was good considering I hadn't any breakfast on board at that stage, just fury.<br />
<br />
Back to the scales - 110.5kg. Feel better about that, and yes I know its only fluid and various bodily reactions, but it still made me feel better and that's what I'm after.<br />
<br />
DDO again today but I'll take it easy on the sweet stuff given I'm so close to my goal. 110kg by October 1 I promised myself, and see no reason why i can't hit that target and plan for the next one - double-figures.
