End of the 2nd Week

So end of the 2nd Week into my new “diet”, when I say diet I really mean a new mind set and a new personal moto “Eat Less Move More”.  The results so far are that Ive lost just under 1/2stone in 2 weeks by doing nothing more drastic than eating a little less and taking the dogs for walks on mornings.  

The first Step was being honest with myself and making myself aware of exactly what I was doing.  There is no point trying to change anything that you can’t measure, so for the first week I took a photo of every piece of food I eat and Tweeted it ( see @HallDietTrain ).  This did two things, 

1.) gave me a rough Idea of what I had been eating 
2.) made me think about what I was eating because I didn’t want to have to take a photo of it.  

Diet 
I intend to do nothing more than just keep to eating sensible foods, trying to avoid bread and pasta on a regular basis, ohh and cut out silly snacks.

Main Rules are
1.) Go for the Small,
2.) For Christ sake chew it.
3.) Drink 1pnt Water at least 10min before.  (this is the hardest to remember)

Exercise 
I want to up the ante a little, now that I have got myself into a routine of getting up I plan to stick to a 2mile Route but introduce some running.  Now "Richard Running" is not so much running but is more like a  slow Jog but it makes me feel better saying that Im running.

That’s about it, thanks for reading it’s nice to have some accountability! TTFN Rich
