Today is Tuesday, I feel better today. Had a long training session today, and a good walk yesterday (no running due to a niggling knee problem). Been eating well again, low fat, and on my plate as always.
It is amazing the difference, even if you eat exactly the same foods, just by eating the right quantities and portion sizes the weight comes off. I can lose 2-3lbs per week every week without exercising.
I do the exercise because I enjoy it, and this is not a diet for me, but a lifestyle change. I eat healthily, train hard, stopped smoking a while ago now. Its not easy, it never is, but it is worth it, my body is becoming firmer, my breathing is a lot easier, I don't have any where near as many 'off days'. I am more alert, both mentally as well as physically. In short I am loving myself, and my new body. I smile a lot more, that's the main difference I guess.
I highly recommend the writings of Dan Millman, especially the peaceful warrior series of books, it helped me change how I looked at things, and has definitely helped me stick to the new choices I have made.

Anyhow, will catch up soon. I hope you are all well in cyber space.....

    Well done, keep going, this sounds cool. I have heard of the diet plate before on other sites...mmmn maybe I should definitely try this one it sounds more like common sense and less like a faddy diet which don't work as I have tried them all? Can you still have curry and chips on a Friday night with your mates though?

    Smiles yes you can still eat anything you want... just portion it out according to the plate, which is a simple process....

    Obviously if you stayed away from high calorie foods you would lose weight faster, but you will still lose weight with them as well.
