If the numbers do not add up do not panic. I have reverted to my actual diet length day numbering. I also need to shift the phases slightly do to Christmas, as protein+vegetables will make my life way easier during the holidays.

It can be quite depressing when one Christmas meal (company party) can put you back by a kg or even two – so it looks like all the time till Christmas I will spend catching up on my weight loss. Really need to start doing more exercise, as without it the pace seems to be dreadfully grinding to almost a halt.

Progress update – cycle 8 & 9

cycle-8-and-9

Going down slowly. A few ups and downs on the way. I have noticed that the busier my life gets the less I adhere to the strict diet rules. Starting to think that maybe stopping photographing my bland chicken meals was not the best idea…

Another thing I have noticed is that when there is no time to cook it is tempting to just either do something boring, or even go half-acceptible. This is probably a big sign I should really start cooking ahead and freezing some of the meals.

Recently I have tried out a few protein bars. They are really addictive, at some point I ended up having one or more daily. They might have a lot of protein and low carbs & fat, but overall they seemed to be stopping my weight loss. So goodbye protein bars.

Overall I lost 1.1kg over the 10 days.

First month weight loss chart

When I put all the figures in, I was actually surprised howlittle ups there were through the course of my diet so far. It definitely felt like there were more regressions. Sometimes looking at the big picture can actually help your motivation aparently…

To start a new tradition above is the just finished vegetable 5 day phase.
