Had 10 days in Tenerife end of January, never been so lazy on holiday before, just lay about all day, played some pool with my lads and went out for meals every night. Got back early hours last Sunday, weighed myself when I woke up and I was just under 17 stone. 3 years ago I had got down to under 15 stone.
Decided to do phase one of the South Beach diet again just to get an initial kick start and get myself off eating shite foods, I'll do it for about 3 weeks. Did it in 2006 and lost 4 stone in 4 months, so it has worked for me before. Besides cutting out chocolate, crisps, Subway brekkies, alcohol and the other stuff, there's no fruit, cereal or bread allowed. Been nothing but veg, salad, eggs, nuts, ricotta cheese, chicken and fish all week, just over 16st 7 lb this morning.
Tomorrow I'm working on the trucks, so its butties (its a pain in the arse taking salads) and then its back on it until the 14th, when we'll have a takeaway and then back on it again til the 24th as we are having a little party to remember Pete and celebrate what would have been his 78th birthday - its the first since he died. After that I'll re-introduce red wine, brown bread, brown rice, porridge and fruit and try to stay away from all the shite until we go to Florida end of May.
