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.

Overall I am 6.3kg lighter in 5 weeks.

I think I do need to cut down on the cheese… I might not be eating that much of it, but quite often, maybe it is affecting my weight loss.

Losses like this are really rewarding. Hope I don’t gain it back tomorrow… Interestingly I checked my waist and it went down from 97cm to 91.5cm. You really don’t notice these gradual changes, if someone asked me if my size has changed I would have probably said no. But there you go, the measure does not lie…

I really hate mornings when you can barely open your eyes. No time for breakfast – lucky I bought some ham the day before so I just took that to work. Last day of protein today, back on vegetables tomorrow and I already have some nice bell papers waiting in the fridge.

Obviously the scales are making fun of me, there is a loss, but not really…

I wasn’t very good at following the diet today. We have been clearing out the old place today, and couldn’t help but visit our old favourite chicken shop. I blame it on the friendly guy, who was supposed to swap my fries for an extra chicken piece, but instead gave me more meat AND the fries… However I did leave almost all of them.

While restocking my oat bran supplies I managed to venture into the realm of protein bars. To be honest I was actually shocked how many of them are high sugar. They might be low on fat and high on protein but if  the sugar’s highthat’s not really good. In the end I did find one that was just 1g of sugar per whole bar, and surprise surprise it even tasted quite nice… Might make it my Sunday treat if they don’t affect my diet disastrously.
