Slideshows & Tums

Posted by stephen on Wednesday, 28th December, 2005 @ 15:55

Just finished re-encoding and uploads the rest of my Wales holiday slideshows. Sounds terribly boring I know, but I like them. You'll find them all in my newly ordered Video Section. Maybe one day I'll actually create some actual video rather than iPhoto slideshows!

I've just had a week of eating out a lot, eating cakes, crisps and other healthy things like beer.

So, time for a little penitence I think. My mate Steve has recently purchased Gillian McKeiths array of DVDs and books and it seems rather interesting. Of course, I'm too cheap to buy such things myself, so I just had a quick watch of the DVD when I stopped in at Norwich on the way home Boxing Day.

This morning Tesco delivered me (because until start eating this stuff I'll apparently remain largely apathetic and lethargic) a load of vegetables, fruit, fish, nuts, teas and pulses. No soft drinks, no meat, no milk, trying soya milk instead.

So today marks the start of my no doubt short lived attempt to reduce the size of my tummy. Shockingly I was 14st7 on Boxing Day, so hopefully we can bring that down a bit.

I started the day with a glass of warm water and lemon juice, a few blueberries, followed up by oats, bran and linseeds with a few raisins soaked in soya milk. Surprisingly, it wasn't not too bad.

A cup of nettle and blackcurrant tea came later (with nothing added), followed by an apple, and later another couple of glasses of water.

Then, most shockingly of all, I got on my new coat (courtesy of my dad and brother), put my hat and scarf on and drove ten minutes down the road to Rowney Warren and went for an hour's walk in the snow covered woods.

I'm not long back from that and I'm feeling pretty good so far. Tonight's meal is stir fried veg with Rainbow Trout, no jarred sauce, no noodles, no chicken. Lots of pine nuts, sesame seeds and linseeds though. Yummy, I hope.
