For the last bloody time!

Here is the first entry from a spreadsheet I started last week:
Back from Tahiti and the weight continues to go on. The dreaded 90kg almost crept onto the scales! Eating whatever, drinking heaps of alcohol and getting sod-all exercise - clearly not a successful recipe for weight loss. All this I know - now how do I get myself to apply all that lovely discipline again?

The spreadsheet is a full celebration of my geekdom - graph, exercise tracker, goal setting. What is DOES NOT include is any form of food plan (apart from limiting what days I drink alcohol). This is because I won't go back to anything that looks like a 'diet' - I have the skills, I know what and how to eat, I don't want to resort to restrictive measures.

If this approach means it takes longer and there are lots of ups and downs along the way - so be it. Okay, so having the spreadsheet contradicts that approach, but I do know about my need to set goals and keep an eye on progress, so this is my form of compromise.

Why won't I plan and track eating? Because that doesn't help with my food issues - it just replaces one problem with another.

And my main goal for the next couple of weeks - plenty of time on the bike. I've got a 50km ride to do on 11 October!

I really suck at this!

I used to be such a good little blogger. Now the slightest hint that I'm getting busy and this is the first thing I drop...

Oh well, it's not like I get grades or rewards for how often I post - but maybe my report card should read 'Could try harder'.

Anyway, we're just back from Tahiti. Had a gorgeous time. Check this out. The view from one of the places we stayed.
