I roll out of bed mid-morning, trundle into my office and make stuff up for a few hours, you know the kind of thing - Character A is having an affair with Character C, Character B finds out and plots to murder character A and C with a frozen Salmon. Then eats the evidence. My wife brings me tea, maybe a toasted bun... then late morning I'll have my shower and think about making breakfast. Toast and marmalade, cereal or a bacon sandwich, (rasher sandwich here in Ireland) and to US readers not the stuff you call bacon either, but back rashers, middle rashers, streaky etc... Aggghhhh! Drooling just thinking about it........ Anyway.... if there's chocolate in the house then a Walnut Whip or a Fruit and Nut bar may be consumed in addition to the bacon sandwich, cereal or toast. Once I've eaten it's back to the coal face of the computer screen to make more stuff up. Character A finds out about frozen salmon plot and calls police. I'm a screenwriter if you haven't guessed by now.
Lunch might be a cheese sandwich or coke and some crisps. Then it's back to the computer, making stuff up and procrastinating on that social networking site... yes that one. I'm poking people all day and being an obnoxious keyboard warrior posting all my opinions about stuff I like. Looking at cats that look like German dictators... Looking at posts that say you must watch this and ignoring posts that threaten death if I do not pass them on. It's a hectic roller coaster ride. I go back to making stuff up. What if it was a leg of lamb instead of salmon? God I'm obsessed with food.
The big meal of the day is dinner... and in my house ... I'm the chef... that meal can be taken any time between seven and ten o'clock at night. Big portions of good quality home cooked food, with a bottle of beer. Then maybe watch some TV... have cups of tea with a biscuit or two... or should that be packet or two... and of course at some point during the day a doughnut or cake of some kind has been consumed. I watch TV until around one in the morning, whilst playing Plants v Zombies on the iPad and then trundle upstairs to bed.
That's my typical day. No exercise. No set meal times. Nothing is balanced except my belly on my knees. (I exaggerate for comic effect, I haven't seen my knees for years.)
Let's rewind for a moment, some three months ago. My sister, who lives in the UK, has always been a big lady, she has always been a yo-yo dieter, she has tried all sorts of diets and at various times has been a member of Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig and ... well to be honest I've lost count of the diets she has been on, sometimes they would work for a short period of time, sometimes they wouldn't, but always the pounds would pile back on. It's just the way it was.... Yes "was"... because things have changed. She found out about Ariix and their Healthy Living Plan. At least I think that's what it is called. Now at this point this blog is beginning to sound like an advertisement... it's not... it's what she did... and three months later shes lost over two stone in weight and is feeling happier and healthier. Some of you reading this will know my sister and can vouch for the change in her.
So my sister being the lovely elder sibling that she is, wanted me to try the regime. Ariix products are expensive and I'm between jobs at the moment so she is paying for the supplements and my part of the bargain is doing this blog. However I am going to be completely independent and unbiased about my views. I'll tell it like it is.
So please bookmark this blog and come along for the ride. Check out the videos, the first is below, and let your friends know. If this stuff really works we'll see that together. If it fails or I'm a weak willed, lily-livered failure, we'll see that too. I don't know what will happen but the diet starts today.
Weight: 18st 13lbs
Yours
