1982

Yes 1982 is my average calories per day this week so happy i'm again uder the 2,000cal target i've set myself.
And even better is I've lost another 2lb so now weigh in at 201lb.

Cheap Shopping

When I go shopping I'm always on the look out for bargains especially among such things as Frozen Food, Tinned stuff, Cleaning products, etc. These things keep so why not.
The thing is my cupboards & freezer are very well stocked up so my plan for the next 3 or 4 weeks is to live off the stuff i've got in.
The only shopping I intend to get is fresh stuff such as Milk, Bread, Vegetables & Fruit, its going to be a cheap shopping month.

Onto weight loss and I'm pleased to report another 2lb lost this week and I made my 2,000 calorie average per day target, despite only been below that total on two days.

2,000 calories

I've set myself a target of averaging 2,000 calories per day, thought it could be tough and it was. In fact I just failed as my daily average came out a mere 4 calories above at 2,004. A little dissapointed but know i can do it this week.

The good news is I'm 2lb down at 205lb so happy with that.

Daily record :-
Monday - 2050 cals
Tuesday - 1977 cals
Wednesday - 1892 cals
Thursday - 1920 cals
Friday - 2048 cals
Saturday - 2043 cals
Sunday - 2096 cals

Average - 2004 cals.

Sunday was my highest day which put me over, can be sort of explain by the fact i was away all day playing table tennis and worked up a appetite, was starving when i got home and ate a bit more than planned. Got similar situation this week so see if i can control better.

Scum of the Earth

Was driving into York last night, was on a one way system when the car in front of me suddenly stopped, wondered why until I saw a large group of youths stood in the road blocking the traffic and refusing to move. Reckon there was around 30 of them aged between 16 and 20ish, probably been drinking.

Anyway one kicked the car in front of me and started to move towards mine, instinct took over and i jumped out to confront them. When they saw me half a dozen started to move towards me one in particular was snarling threats, I just thought its not a great decision to get out given the numbers but it was too late so thought mr snarler was gonna get it first, even if i was going to take a kicking.

Luckily other motorists started to get out of their cars and a couple of blokes got off a bus and surprise suprise the yobs dissapeared very quickly.

Reckon society is producing too much Scum nowadays.

Here we go again

Today I've started my new weight loss plan with a aim of keeping to an average of no more than 2,000 calories per day. Its going to be tough especially coming on top of a Chistmas/New Year vacation where I certainly didn't go careful on food and drink.

I put on 9lb during the break so now weigh in at 207lb, plan is to weigh in and report my calorie count every Monday.

On some special occasions out of my normal routine (weekends away, holidays, partys, etc) i'll relax my calorie intake and not count them occasions. Got to live aswell without taking my eye off the big picture. Saying that nothing really planned until February so a good start is the plan.

So here we go.

I'm back

Happy New Year to everyone.

I'm back online, been enjoying some winter sunshine in Spain since before Chrimmy and not been online at all. Certainly back in the cold, before someone points out the tempreture is higher than the seasonal average I'll tell you my central heating boiler packed in while i was away, the engineer is coming tomorrow so hopfully he can sort it.

The holiday was great met some really nice people, had plenty of laughs and fully enjoyed the trip.

So on with 2013 and that old story of New Years resolutions, well to be honest although toying with a few ideas I've not really cast anything in stone.

Of course weight loss will be in my plans, reckon I've put on a few pounds in Spain so need to get back on track (more about it next week).

I've had a ongoing situation in my life that very few people know about (its not health related so nothing for others to worry about). I've been after some information which I got in december which means things can move forward. All I'm going to say its a big emotional roller coaster and a priority to me, think i could have a few ups and downs in the coming weeks, hopfully all ups though.

Think I need to de-clutter my friends list, far too many numbers on my mobile phone and emails in my address book, just too many people that never make contact, time for a cull i think.
