Like a stone!!!

Just back from 2 weeks offshore. Did the will power last the course? It certainly did, 16 days in and no bread, cheese choccies or biccies which is damn good going considering our second week was deluged with free chocolates from all sorts of departments, in fact I don't think a day went by without someone bringing a load of the brown stuff down for the lads to gorge on. I didn't have one bit, not a solitary morsel. The only luxury I allowed myself during the whole fortnight was a packet of dry roasted peanuts, woohoo!!!!

Anyway, to the stats. And our survey said........

98.9 Kilo's, thats 15 St 7.5 lbs.

Down 11.5 lbs!!! Plus 2 inches off me kite! Bloody hell. And to be honest, it was a doddle, didn't really crave for anything at all and was rarely hungry. Although I'm a bit of a sceptic, I now have some belief that this NLP technique actually works. We'll just have to see if works over a long period.
4 weeks at home now so I'll be doing weekly weigh-ins. I can't even hope to have anything like the spectacular loss that I've had during the first two weeks, what with Marie's superb cooking and the lure of the Beaujolais but after all the goal is just a pound per week and I'm well ahead of schedule.
Next week yaw'll.

Flabby New Year

Almost four months since my last confession can mean only one thing. Yes, dear readers I fell from the wagon and tumbled into an abyss of over-indulgence of the kind not seen since the days of the great pie fest of 1988.
Although I've avoided the scales for a few weeks, I guess I'm somewhere around the 105kg mark, my heaviest ever.
So, I'm starting again from scratch but the challenge is still the same - drop 52 lbs in 52 weeks, this time I have the convenience of starting at the beginning of the year - am I kidding myself this will make any difference??
Anyhoo, to kick off the new me, I've made a resolution to give up four things..........
1. Bread - this'll be tough, I usually have some sort of bread with most meals
2. Chocolate - should be easy enough unless they start throwing around the free sweeties at work
3. Cheese - I love cheese!!
4. Biscuits - one dips and even hob nobs, they've got to go.
Apart from that, I'll be eating pretty much the same but using some NLP techniques (more on this later) to curb any over-eating.
Weigh-in tomorrow, offshore on Thursday, so first update in two weeks........
