Well I think I over did something yesterday… Not sure what… The walking, drinking too fast, or just doing too much; or a combination… By the end of the day I was feeling like crap and not only had my tender chest, but also pains in the ribs… Not that I did a lot yesterday except the shopping (maybe picking up too heavy bags or something), watching a bit of TV and a bit of computer stuff…
Woke up this morning and felt OK though after a good nights sleep… Already been for my walk (where did the lovely sun from the weekend go) and taken Chief to the vet’s to get his stiches out… One thing I am doing today, just so I know I’m getting enough fluids and not drinking them too fast is writing down EVERYTHING that goes through my lips and how long I take to drink it… Hopefully that might slow me down, although it will also be good for next Tuesday’s first visit to the dietician.
Who watched “10 things you need to know about loosing weight” last night on 7? It was quite fascinating, even for a pommy program from the BBC. Not sure why they had it on when they did (Monday @ 7.30pm) but rated well coming in at #11 nationally with over a million viewers, so there’s a lot of us out there that want to loose weight.
Parts of it were fascinating, particularly the meal where one team ate it normally with a glass of water, and the other team has their exact same meal pureed with the glass of water… 4 hours later the puree team’s stomach was still holding it, while the normal team’s stomach was almost empty…
Other interesting parts were identical diets where one week the person ate “normally” and then the 2nd week they had the exact same amount fat but added calcium, which caused more fat to be shed in their No. 2’s
Also where the lady recorded her intake each day… First week by video camera at the end of the day and the 2nd week by keeping a diary. It proved that keeping a diary while better than memory is still fallible compared to the “double water” or whatever it is that she had to drink that was supposedly always right.
It was well worth the viewing, and I’ve kept a copy from my TiVo and am compressing it to keep on the iPod…
There’s a Google Discussion on this as well
What’s on the agenda for today? A quiet one at home I think… pottering around and tidying up, although I do need to pop out to get some more Optifast shakes, which I’ll do a little later…
Well I’ve finished drinking my glass of water 35mins for 300ml while I wrote this so I must be off
Until next time...
