Notes:-  Major restart. I let stress get the better of me and have not been eating all that well. During the last two weeks in Christchurch I ate wheat on many occasions and sugar crept into my coffee which was the sachet type unless in a caf'e. The scales tell a sad story. I am 10 kg/22 pounds heavier than last September.

I have lost confidence in myself and my ability to do this. I don't have much of a plan right now except to become coffee free while maintaining a low carb, wheat and sugar free eating plan.

The headaches might have more to do with my eye which is rarely comfortable and causes sinus problems.

JUNE 19TH 2014 75TH BIRTHDAY DONE AND DUSTED

29 MONTHS MAINLY WHEAT FREE AND CONTINUING

The sad news is letting my focus drift away from weight loss has not been helpful. Today I'm 7 kg heavier than my lowest weight last year. Not happy about that. Losing weight is hard work even when the plan is simple and working. It's time to take stock and realise I cannot continue to do nothing pro-active. I'm not sure how this is going to work out in practice yet but I am not going to slack off any longer.

Activity:-  X

Breakfast:- Coconut creamy Coffee

Lunch:- Egg and bacon scramble with onion and spinach.

Dinner:- Braised kidney with mixed vege mash.

Snacks:- Almonds

Flavoured Tea Infusions x 2

Black Coffee x 2
Coconut creamy Coffee x 2

Notes:-  I began to pull my head in yesterday at 87.9 kg following 10 days at Otama and out of my comfort zone and eating all kinds of thing including bread and icecream.
