Anyway - for those who wanna know how
diet:
the fist diet:
* make a fist
* that's all the carbs and protein you can eat in a sitting. Eat as much veggies as you want. Potatoes are carbs, not veggies.
* No 2nds, no eating the kids leftovers, no sugar things (see below). That's it, you're done.
NYE resolution
* no beer or white wine
* nothing that has cake or chocolate in its name
* no ice cream
* except on blood relative birthdays
Excercise
* I recorded a bunch of those les mills video workouts that were free to air at level 4. Did 5 a week (reduced to 3 a week since level 1).
* My abs were so weak that it took 3 weeks before I actually started using them in exercises. Had back aches due to compensation.
Mental
* No gonna lie, I'm never full. That is, I no longer get that nice full feeling after eating a meal
* Seriously do not underestimate how hard it is to "not feel full"
* that 10 min before you stop feeling hungry can be a real mental test while the rest of the family is chowing down, and you've finished your "not filling" meal.
* I have enough control I just don't eat the chocolate, or drink the beer. Not everyone will be able to do that
* I still wolf down my food. Trying the "put fork down each mouthfull until swallowed" thing.
p.s. Congrats Simon on the sub 100. That's awesome!
