Diet time!

I had a bit of a health scare last week. I have a couple of long-term chronic illnesses and recent blood tests indicated that they are getting worse. As such, i'm here to document a month of examining my diet and trying to improve what I eat. I promise I will tie this into education!

Monday

70 yoghurt drink
40 half pack kooks crisps
100 bread roll
10 salad
50 cheese
165 cookies
300 cookies
150 croissant
200 sweets
600 tea
100 corn bread
300 croissants
160 kooks crisps

2245 calories. I went over as I snacked; but having said that, my normal intake compared to this must be 3000 calories a day! My god i've been eating too much.

I've never counted calories before and am approximately a stone and a half overweight. I believe that I exercise enough, although having arthritis means that I cannot go to the gym regularly to do anything bar lift weights. As my lad gets older we're cycling more frequently, and he loves neing out on our bikes. We cycle at a slow pace but as with education, pointed results come only with time, and so although we only cycle a couple of miles at a time now, in ten years we will be making regular thirty mile excursions up the coast.

But damn, getting rid of these snacks won't be easy!
