Hi guys

Its summer here and the snowball is practically melting out in the sun. We jsut got home from the first weighing in 4 weeks. I had melted off another 4.6 Kg so Im now upto 9.8 (21.8 pounds) in all. Thats since we started some 7 weeks ago. Its an average of 1.4 kg each week. So let the sun shine on this white snowball :-)

That was my short message, now back to the sunbathing.

Hi

I know its been a couple of days since I let you guys know about this snowball’s forray into the hot sun :-P It seems that snowballs and sun dont mix well. Since we were last together I melted off an additional 2.3 Kgs bringing the grand total down up to 5.2 Kgs. Now the total snowball size is down to 145.8 Kgs.

I lost 900 Grams this last week, even though we went to a lovely wedding during the weekend, with all that that entails of drinking and eating and more drinking. This leads me to a little Rant about this whole diet thing. Where I go to get weighed and measured, they have a name for things like what I did during the wedding. They call it sinning, God I hate that, the religionising of the whole thing. Its not about being perfect all the time, there has to be room for something like a wedding and stuff like that. It wont kill your diet if you fall in once in a blue moon. What is imortant is that you don’t stay in the whole. When you are done with that one day not following the plan its about continuing the good trend you have been working on. So lets call it something else, lets call it a detaur or whatever. When I go to these meetings I come for positive reinforcement not to get told Im a sinner. I go to the Church of weightloss but dont expect me to become a rabid fanatic. Im gonna keep it positive and walk my middle road, following the idea of the “scriptures” but not believing in em like they were the words of “you know who upstirs/downstairs/all around us/in us/ whatever floats your boat“.

So keep it positive! Don’t kill yourself if you fall in and have a day of excess. They won’t hurt you if you don’t do it every day or regularly.  Smile and enjoy your carrots again thinking about how much fun you had.

Hi all

Lately this noob has been walking around feeling a bit round on the edges. Lol lets call waddling like a duck walking shall we :-P Well the wife and me have decided to do something about it so we have joined a program here in Denmark called “Danske Vægtkonsulenter”. Its a strict program that aims to teach people to lose weight without giving up on your good stuff. This means that we can prettymuch chuck all our old recipes or start redoing them in “healthier” versions. The principle of the diet (they will kill me if they find out Im calling it that, its a lifestyle change….) is that you eat loads and loads of greens, meat and fruit. But you have to stay away from the carb foods like potatoes rice and the like. You can eat em but only in very very limited amounts. I get to experiment alot with recipes, which I love, so Im a semi happy guy except for my one big craving… Nice refreshingly cool wonderful brown sparkling caffeinated Coca Cola

Well so the startdata are

  • Height 183 CM
  • Weight 151 kg

Now we will see over time how it goes. I will try and put in my data here as I get weighed. So stay tuned for the snowball meltin. We are getting weighed tonight for the second time so we will see if all this hardship has an effect or if we ate rabbit food for a week for nothing!!
