Anyway..I'm not on a diet,I'm on a mission!!

Wow..big jump this morning! At 114 I think I'm at the lowest in quite a while..I'm using the last hole in the belt,if this goes on like this I will need a new belt..and soon new pants and everything!

This is getting exciting !

I'm more and more used to the food, the omlette today at work was very discrete and actually quite enjoyable. Still had to turn down a going out for drinks after work as didn't seem appropriate quite yet.

4th Day: On my own

2007-09-10T05:44:00.000+02:00

18:00 Snack :Coffee flan
19:00 Dinner :Tomato soup + Salad leaves + pills (Omega 3+Magnesium)

The diet was quite ok. The discovery of the day was the fundamental negative opinion on it of my wife. I knew something was going on, but didn't expect to be left so much on my own as when she mentioned that this is "bs" and that she lost 20 kg after the pregnancy without any supet diet and without eating "shit".

She might have some point in the sense that this is something very radical, and that there are other ways of loosing weight, but I find it sad not to have the support of the loved one in this kind of challenge.

Well.. will need some more strenght!

3rd Day - Feeling tired but happy

2007-09-09T08:59:00.000+02:00

13:45 Lunch :Caramel milk shake + water + pills (magnesium & Potassium Chloride)
18:00 Snack :Choccolate mousse
19:00 Dinner :Chicken soup + Salad leaves + pills (Omega 3+Magnesium)

Today I've felt the diet.. I had a strange taste in the mouth for the all day..nothing too strong, but a bit unusual.

In the late afternoon I went for a 45 min run with Nike "Improve your endurance" program and the running was quite good.
As soon as back at home however I felt very tired and almost as I needed to throw up. I didn't enjoy the salad and the chicken soup and went to sleep almost immediately after.

Anyway. According to the lady at the shop the 1st 3 day are the most difficoult and now they are gone ! I have to say following this diet it's quite hard to go out with people for a party. So far I've preferred to avoid that and quitely stay at home..

All afternoon I was quite busy at work and didn't feel like having anything. I brough the salad and pizza from home and it was quite discrete to eat and actually nice.

1 Day = 1 Kg - The secret of a good start!

2007-09-07T06:10:00.000+02:00

Weight morning: 116,2 Kg

First day has been very good , no problem with being hungry and the taste of the prepared food is not too bad.
I have to figure out how to best approach eating this at work and better distribute within the day...today will have pizza (yeah..but not the real pizza..the PP, protein pizza) and a drink in late afternoon.

Yesterday "Il Maestro" died, it's a really sad news, he was one of the greatest and the world will miss him and his unique voice.

1st Day start with Omlette

2007-09-06T06:12:00.000+02:00

Here we go..Thursday 6th September 2007. Wake up at 5:30 and had my first breakfast with the Ser Diet.

100 ml of water plus the powder and here is what I've got!

Next time I shall add some spices, but it was eatable and even if the taste was a bit artificial, it was not to far from the real thing.

I took as well my 4 morning pills..Omega 3 +Potassium + 1/4 of the one for thyroid.

I've taken some pics..so that I will be able to do a "before" and "after" . Not sure if I shall pubblish at this stage :-)

weight is 117,2 Think my scale is not so reliable though.

Starting THE diet tomorrow

2007-09-05T21:37:00.000+02:00

Here we are !
After almost a year since the first serious thought of it..I'm finally ready to start the diet.
Will it work?
Will I lose fat or muscles? or hair ? or theets? or skin?
Will it change my mood ? Better or worse? Hope not worse...that would be quite hard to deal with for people around me !

A lot of questions in my head...seems the norm before a jump in the unknown, I actually like changes and like to seek answers to questions.
Is this diet healty?
Will I really lose 10 kg in one month?
Will I need to change all my wardrobe in 2 months?

At the moment the main question is ..Am I going to survive 1 full month without wine,beer,pizza,spaghetti... it's quite challenging,but if I don't try I'll never have the answers!
So..I need to try, as hard as I can and be able to follow the rules ...a lot of rules to be honest.

This space is for me to track progress and find some more motivation in sharing this challange.

Thanks for joining on the ride, will have some ups and some downs but will for sure have some good fun in between!
