The Year of the Gav diet - 25th June '12

Current weight: 15st8 (99kgs)

Food and drink for the day – 2 bowls of Nutty cereal semi skimmed milk and a black coffee (without sugar) and a Chicken Salad.
I have just returned from a week of doing very little and eating a lot, or as it is known holiday. After a week of over-eating and under doing its time to return to the real world. A literally exposing photograph of me and my belly on a beach kick starts my need/want to do something. Its six months until Christmas day and by then I hope to have lost 2 stone. I’m not joining a weight watching programme, or taking my consumption down to two shakes a day. I’m mealy watching what I eat and when I eat it. I have already cut out alcohol this year and that has been easy, apart from:
       1)      Dinner with friends on the Isle of Wight – tempted by Croatian Grappa

2)      After a long walk along the Wey a riverside pub in the sun – tempted by Honey Ale

3)      Toronto and friends – tempted by everything.
I figure that cutting out those tempting bad meals can only be positive for me. I have never enjoyed a pre-packed sandwich

I will also start to exercise more. Cycling and jogging mainly, add this to keeping up with my nephews and niece and it’s a pretty tough workout regime.
I’m hoping that writing everything down each day will help. It has certainly aided my focus previously.

Please feel free to offer words of encouragement along the way. Feel free to join in and let me know how you’re getting on.
It’s a simple equation really; Burn off more calories than you consume and you will lose weight, FACT!
