First day

Didn't make it onto the wii last night, so tonight will be the first record. Started the day at 7:15 with a normal coffee with milk and 2 sugars. Really felt like someone had stolen an hour today after the clocks went forward. Got to work, 8:15 bag of crisps and a choccy biscuit bar with a cup of black decaf with 2 sugars. I have a desk job that has no physical requirements at all. I would normally be munching on a bacon roll for breakfast. I am not very good at breakfasts, but I know it is important to have something. I ate my choccy bar to stop it from melting. I have a packed lunch today. Sandwich, cup-a-soup and an apple to get me through my working day. Had apple at 10am then sandwich (cheese) and soup at 11:30 and 12:00 respectively. I am getting a few hunger pangs, but nothing too serious. 1:30 going for a large coffee with milk and sugar (and caffeine). 5pm I got home from work and by 5:30 I was tucking into a Bombay mix snack as I knew dinner was going to be a while and I didn't want to get heart burn from hunger. A cup of tea to wash that down then onto dinner. I had to go to the shops to buy some rice to go with some cook-in-the-bag sweet and sour chicken breasts. I have my own blend of rice that is gorgeous. Use the cheapest long grain or basmati rice. To start with half fill a saucepan with water, add a chicken stock cube per person, a pressed clove of garlic per person a handful of frozen mixed veg, or if you don't have that you can use a handful of frozen sweetcorn and a handful of peas. Bring all this to boil then add 1/2 cup of rice person, 2 tablespoon of cooking oil, this stops the rice sticking together and gives it a nice texture. Add 2 teaspoons of turmeric and get it back to boiling. Keep it gently boiling until the rice just starts to soften. I usually just flick a few grains off onto a plate, let them cool for a few seconds, then test it. Do this every 2 minutes once the rice starts to soften and you should catch it before it gets too puffy. I then just drain the excess water etc. through a sieve and serve with the chicken. I use this rice recipe on loads of different meals because it tastes delicious and is quite healthy. Unfortunately I have had way too many bacon rolls and take aways recently. After dinner it was a cup of tea with milk and 2 sugars, then a short rest to let dinner go down, then out for constitutionals. This consists of taking the dog for a walk round the block (he's glad I am on a diet now as he hasn't been getting many walks lately). When we came back we moved a few things around after yesterdays tidy up and I got the wii fit balance board out. Accordingly it has been 269 days since the last time I went on the wii and I have gained 2 stone 8 pounds (36 pounds). I was shocked to find I am over 21 stone (134kg (295lbs) to be precise). I need to lose 5 stone (70 pounds) in 4 months to get down to 16 stone. I want to go on to 14 stone then I'm done. I haven't been 14 stone since I was in my 20's. I had a few games of ski jumping and did some hip and waist exercises and that's it for today. I will have another cup of tea later.
