I just felt like eating more after dinner, gave in and had prunes and crackers… no good. I didn’t drink much water during the day which I think was a factor. I was also craving sweet things all day. Bigger breakfasts/smaller dinners might be a good option to incorporate into my plan to stop afternoon cravings?

Great Sunday, had a 2 hour workout and thoroughly enjoyed it. Should have eaten more for breakfast but I got up late and had lots to get done so made sure I had a good protein rich lunch to make up for it. Right now its 7.55pm and my body is begging for bed. I think the combo of less high energy foods and more exercise will help with my irregular sleep patterns. YAY!

These rules will evolve as time goes on, however I will start with the basics:
Food Basics:
#1) No “Carbs” – I realise almost everything actually contains some form of carbohydrate, so to clarify, when I say carbs I mean: Nothing with gluten, no rice and no starchy vegetables etc.
#2) No artificial sugars – aka. nothing containing sugar other than fruit and the occasional spoon of honey. – These will be my treats.
#3) No dairy products.
#4) Each week, once a week I will allow myself one treat meal. Not a tub of ice-cream, not jumbo-mega-supersized McDonalds combo, but something that may have carbs, sugar and/or dairy.
SIMPLE.
So in summary: I will be following along the lines of a Palaeo diet. Which means, I will be eating as though I’m a caveman from Palaeolithic times. I will eat things that grow or can be killed, sounds gruesome I know. All it really means is that my diet will consist of fruit, veg, meat and a few nuts here and there.
Exercise Basics:
#1) At LEAST 3 sessions of dedicated exercise per week
#2) Weights at LEAST 1x per week
I tend to enjoy exercise, so its just a matter of making the time, and prioritising it. I’m thinking of taking up badminton – I have a dusty racket in my closet… I’ll look into it tonight.
