Day 3, version 2..........

Just finished the food log for yesterday, and I am very pleased with myself (pats self on back). Last night was poker night (I play 2 or 3 times a month) and of course I drink booze and eat crap usually then - nuts, chips etc. So last night for dinner 2 kebabs, no cheese, no garlic sauce (I thought OMG this is going to be horrible) but you know what? It was great and not too bad on the calorie front, and filling, so off to poker I go. For drinks took 4 x cans of bourbon and coke zero, and didn't touch the dips, chips nuts at all. Ok so I lost at cards but won on the calories in/out front as I finished with intake 2239 and out 3814 over 1500 deficit.

Ok I know what you're thinking, this is only the start, can he maintain that at future poker nights? hmmmmmmmmm well all I can say is, now I know I can, and I know how, so if I don't I am dumb, God I so hope Im not going to be dumb - again!

Late night last night, less than 4 hours sleep, but still made it to the gym today, copied yesterdays work out, god my legs are sooooooooo sore from the HIT bike, and staying awake at work is going to be a challenge - its a 13 hour day for me, but bugger it, plenty of time to sleep when Im dead LOL. Going to hop on the scales tomorrow morning and take stock......

Im off to my food/exercise log to fill it out for today, ciao all

OK first up, huge thanks to Sandy for writing and welcoming me back, and for telling me my journal had mysteriously gone private, that's now rectified. Truthfully I thought I would sneak back in yesterday and no-one would notice, much less care, I would just slink around do my thing and sit quietly in the corner watching as I know I had let myself down and my journey had hit a few speed bumps in the road, and really? who would care? So Sandy thank you from the bottom of my heart.

So: as at least one person wants to actually read my verbal dribble here goes: Ok my tale of woe? well before Christmas all was going well, except while working out with my PT I hurt the ligaments of my right foot and had to ease up on the exercise regime, but I had to go to Thailand for two weeks for my brothers wedding also, so what with that and Christmas OK I would take time off from the gym and rest up. Also lets be honest here, it was holidays and I went off the diet, no lifestyle plan - well it was holidays and I could always make it up - couldn't I? After Christmas we had sold our house and had to move, my foot was heaps better, but moving furniture bugger I twisted the other foot and tore a tendon in it. So I stayed away from exercise, and for some weird unexplainable reason - OK I can explain it LAZINESS I also stayed off the diet. Right now Im sitting here shaking my head at my own dumbness having forgotten my own 'mantra' (that I stole from someone else) exercise plus diet great result - diet no exercise fair result - no diet no exercise bad result. Seriously I must have OD'd on the stupid tablets.

So my foot slowly got better, and over this last weekend we were going out to a show, went to get dressed and my 'going out to a show' pants were too tight, jumped on the scales (we had moved and they were packed away) and shock horror saw the damage.

So yesterday saw the re-introduction of good habits, and slinking back here, hoping no one would notice, but oh so glad someone did and here I am.

No gym yesterday, but did start with a mini fast - nothing before late lunch time then kept the intake (including a family dinner) to under 1200 cals, so Im thinking a good start. Today I ventured back to he gym, one of the PTs saw me arrive and yelled out across all the sweating grunting (thinner than me) people at the top of her voice: 'HEY STEVE WELCOME BACK WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN?"

OMG did I struggle through a workout - and I kept it fairly sensible, some HIT on the bike, weights, but tried to work with intensity, and some exercise machines as a long slow warm down. My poor disused muscles are all a quiver, but I feel great and wonder why did I stop this? DUH!

Its nice to be missed/welcomed back to a healthier lifestyle, so Hi to all my old buddies here, and I hope I catch up with your journals and see what you've all been up to, and where you are at with your journey. OK Im back :)
