THERE IS 20 KG LESS OF ME ....

I suppose it is a tradition with many blogs that there can be a long time between posts. This is certainly the case here.

Looking at the stats, no-one really reads this ... not that it matters.

The Dinner Mob was a complete flop by not even getting off the ground with one dinner ... not that it matters.


What does matter is my health.


To that effect ... I have had outstanding results.

I still eat heaps ... from when I get up until I go to bed. And I still DO NOT exercise. I should ... but it never seems to get my interest enough to act on it.

HOWEVER ... with diet alone ... I HAVE LOST WEIGHT.

A couple of months back I was tipping the scales just under 110kg. I can't remember the exact number.

And now ... I weigh 88.5kg !!!

That is a loss of about 20kg - ish in a few months ... totally void of gym memberships, diet foods, exercise in general and 'dieting'.

In fact, it has involved a lot of eating, sitting on the couch, watching TV.

I still eat (relatively) the same breakfast I always have, but I added Grapefruit (juiced and pulped) ... which is now 2 grapefruit a day because I like them so much.  

I substituted sweets, cakes, ice cream, chocolate and the like for the PULSE RECIPE ... which I still love and eat daily. It contains a lot of natural sugars within the dried fruit. I have had the occassional traditional treat as listed above ... but seldom and as moderately as my addictive behaviour allows.

Counting calories was imperative to analysing and identifying diet issues. I don't run my pad like I used to (on everything I ate) as dietary foibles and patterns are quickly identified and were acted upon.

And I still cook every main meal I eat. No takeaways or fast foods. Merely, my cooking (and shopping) methods and recipes have changed slightly.

End result ... I am still couch potato-ing (no carbs involved) and after this I will resume watching TV. However, I am shrinking ... and continuing to do so.

Cool eh !
