Monday;

Had a great morning swim and it seems my effort to avoid all alcohol paid dividends. With yesterday been mother day it was a tricky to avoid all the temptations. I think I have found the key to avoiding temptation at the tables, instead of going for supper or dinner rather go out for a late breakfast. Simple – nobody insists that you should up-size or having another portion.


Had a super workout at Bobby gym in the afternoon 

Tuesday

02h45 Started working on High Points business facebook picture (Go check it out at http://www.facebook.com/Appliancesa ) and lost completely track of time. 08h00 I start working in our brick & mortar business and the day just flew. I got home again at 18h45 and exercise wasn`t there?

Apart from the freshly baked scones and jam my eating was fairly clean

Wednesday

Woke up again at 02h45. I have been taking magnesium tablets every night before going to bed for the past 3 days and this morning there where no muscle pains. I swam from 05h00 to 06h45 easy-peezi.

Today is going to be GREAT!
 
Bronwyn (my swimming partner) informed me this morning today is 2 years ago since we met at the swimming pool and started swimming together. She said when she first started it took her an hour to do 8 x 50meter swimming lengths and then she had to go lay down for the rest of the day. Now she swims between 30 and 36 x 50 meter 3 x a week. 
For a lady in here 70+ you must see how she has trimmed down - if I did not see her transformation happening with my own eyes I would not have believed it
 possible that a senior person can transform her body!

WOW! 

Another week is gone! Although it has been a good business week, health and time
management was nothing short from disastrous.  About every night ended in a social
event and believe me some people say red wine is a healthier choice – “Its not”!

I have been physical active but it is like going up a sand dune, everyday it feels like you have gone back to steps. The guys that manage to have  socializing, work and healthing living in balance has admiration  

 04h55 Swimming in solitude has an amazing rejuvenating effect.


In the first hour of my working day I realised that my “To Do List” is getting in the way of each emergency that needs attention straight
  away.


14h45 Going to Bobby Gym for my 25 minutes “lunch” exercises, help to slow down the day and get the afternoon slump off my back. In the olden days by this time I was already thinking about was the day down with a “cold one”.  After the exercise class the rest of my afternoon was very productive.


Celebrating someone birthday in the evening I could not resist the chocolate desert but I did say no to alcohol


 Thursday morning I woke at 4.30 with a huge hang-over (this is what the sweet stuff do to my system). Apart from updating this journal, my early morning was unproductive   

04h45
Glen the lifesaver at Newton park swimming pool is pure pleasure - I just don`t
find many people who cheerful at that time of the morning when I eat my frog.
Just imagine if all municipality and council workers were performed their work
duties with Glen attitude and flair.

Mind Blowing!

25 April Wednesday


05h00 - It is just great getting into the pool this time of the
year, there is not a soul to be seen - most people find it hard getting out of
their warm beds.


Fish and chips at my favourite monger, it was great but I over
did it with the roll slices (ate three of them)



Late afternoon three   chocolate brownies attacked me – they were
devoured!


 Evening - I opted to eat a small piece of hake with beetroot salad again.


Generally I am happy with my health behaviour today just a pity
about the brownies



24 April Tuesday


Last night the first of our visitor/holidaymaker arrived for the
upcoming long weekend and it was celebration time. Hitting the gym weights at 5
this morning was a good idea because I do feel better after the training session
but I also experience the effect of 2 beers and a glass of wine has on your
system.





23 April Monday


It has been raining all night and the wind is blowing outside, getting out of bed has just become so much harder. To make things worse I have overslept by 45 minutes and my mind keeps on saying “it is too late, rather do it tomorrow”.


It seems in times like these you must just stop debating and just
get moving!  I made it into the pool just past 05h00.


That first contact with the cool clear water makes all dought
fade when the bubbles hug your body as to say “Welcome back”! 

Fail to plan is plan to fail


It is now 2 weeks since I last sat down an really monitored my eating habits 
and life style. All I can say is the daying “Fall to plan is plan to
fail” is all true.


Instead of just taking a couple of minutes to plan what I would
eat and how I would over come social meet-ups, I instead just rush from one
health mistake to the next. I would like to blame April month (Easter weekend)
and chocolate bunnies for all my lack of sticking to my plan but alas it is all
my fault. It is so much easier to fall back into your old unhealthy
ways.


Taking Sunday to annualize my wrongs, here is a list of my
mistakes and the things I did right


· Not planning my trip (eating and
  drinking stop reguarly)


· Not taking my own healthy snacks with me – instead i would stop
in town and buy bigger portions than usual. (packaging
sizes)


· Drinking to little water throughout the day – big
mistake


· At most social events I consumed alcohol.



· Drank too much coffee 


· Ate too much breads


Now for some of the good I did


· I did stick to my exercise plan but with the holidays they were a
bit washed down


· .....!........! Did I mention that I did do
exercises?


Tomorrow been Monday and it is a short week with another long
weekend, our first up country visitor (relatives) are arriving tomorrow Looking
forward to many coming for the long weekend


Well I am going to try my best to stick to my Healthy commitments
and avoid the overeating. With the Free-stater coming it is going to be
difficult not waking up with a hang over every
morning.

Reading this quick note it does seem I am planning to fail

Nooo!
I did not stop eating for the past week; I just lost control to manage my
time properly - mainly because last week was a short working week because of
Easter


Fortunately my health plan did not suffer the
consequences mainly due to the house been fairly“clean” from temptations (bad
snacks), the fridge and freezer only has vegetables and proteins in it. I only
skip my exercise routine on Thursday morning due to a severe case of lazy and
rain.


 Although I went to three restaurants this week, I managed to avoid alcoholic drinks and the deliquis looking food but did fall for 4 cappuccinos the rest was decaffeinated coffees. 
 

Late
Friday night a Cadbury chocolate slab highjack me between the bed and the
kitchen, fortunately I got away with slaying 4 nuggets. Monday (today) that same
chocolate slab ambushed me on the cough while typing this post. At the moment we are
experiencing cold winter rains outside today - combined with the warm duvet and
the cat warming my feet. Who can resist?


Lesson
learned here is when someone gives you sincere gift like chocolates or cake, be
nice and say “thank you”.  Then take it with you in a bag for “later” and give it to the nearest homeless person
you can find because that sweet temptation are going to get you when you are at your weakest.

23h15 – finished 1 litre sparkling water for the evening while socialising. Eat cheese platter ( 4 diff cheeses, sliced meat, 4 crackers, some dried fruit (only had 1 piece) and two cappuccinos). It was this or hamburger
with delicious oily French fries.
We arrived back home at 01h55 and I had serious cravings to stuff something down my mouth. (must be the late night and tiredness) Fortunately I managed to side step temptation!

03h30 - Who wants to sleep!
Start to work, decided to give exercise a miss to day. With the damaged the 2 glasses wine did, I should actaully exercise. (notice I did not say anything about the beer)

Small apple


10h00 – 6 Crackers coverd meat flavoured spread. Tea


13h00 – Whole-wheat Spaghetti and salad


15h00 – 25 min exercise class Mistake no 2


After this class my body was so tired with me over exercising it today that the
graving started driving me up the wall. Normally the afternoon exercises break
the midday-slump and it is great to work again afterwards – not
today.

Started to stuff my face with “health protean bar” then dried sausage, biltong(jerky). After a couple of call the Braai (BQ) was on for tonight. At the braai I ate 2 chops, plenty of wors, consumed 1 beer and 2 big glasses of wine

This day started well but I over did it with the exercises and then my control started going. The main reason for this is that I could not managed to get my
energy level up again in a healthy way

4h30 - Wake up tired again?? - drag myself for a early swim

07h00 - Breakfast. 2 x scramble eggs, 1 Vienna and black coffee. 6,5mmol/l
10h10 - Cracker cheese and tea
12h00 - 2 x mega cappuccinos (business meeting)

15h15 - Grilled fish and steamed vegetables. Decaff coffee

04h30 - early swim, after taking it easy last week (because of the flue) I decided to increase my training with 60% to 16 x 50meter- at a very slow page
07h30 - 2 Scramble eggs with mixed vegetables and black coffee. 6.8mm0l/l
10h00 - Crackers thin slice cheese with tea. 6.5mmol/l
12h30 - Grilled 1/4 Chicken and grilled veggies

Thursday - Early mornig swim and rest of day busy, busy. Had 2 meeting at
coffee shops but I managed to stay clear of sweet temptations.
7.9mm0l/l


 Friday – Early morning swim and 15h00 gym. Dinner with friends I
went for the fish but unfortunately give in to 2 Beers. While we had an early
evening, in the fridge was a slice of chocolate cake that kept on calling me. 
 

Saturday  - Woke up with a mean hangover, personally I think it is the chocolate cake
  (MIDNIGHT-SNACK) that pushed my blood glucose level over the edge. 05h30 –light
weight training at Bobby`s. unfortunately the training did not have an effect on
my sugar levels, so I went for another 25 min swim.


Had 3 cappuccinos for the day but apart from that the rest of the
day went well - taking into account all the sports on TV.


Sunday – Took the dogs down to the beach for walk. Fish braai for
lunch.

5.8 mm0l/l Good news!!

06h00 - Weight training at Bobby`s gym, this is the first time this year that I train with weights.  
With me and I think anyone that has reached maturity the aim should be to maintain muscles or try to slow down the process of losing muscle mass. 


Younger and professional bodybuilder train till they get to the burn stage - pushing harder/heavier every-time. With us mature individuals you should stay away from the heavy irons because it is very easy to damage to your body. 
07h45 - 2 Bake eggs, Vienna and toast. Decaffeinated Coffee
8h45 - Visitors! and a great excuse to have another mug of coffee 
10h15 - Small container yohurt and 2 tea spoons breakfast mixed

11h00 - Slow with the water sipping today starting with my first 500ml (must make an effort)
13h00 - Having beef and pork stew for lunch today (one of those
"Discoveries" when you scratch around in the old chest freezer). For desert i had chocolate and brandycream
16h00 - Slept the whole afternoon aaaaaah! all that wasted time. Eat 50g peanuts which is about 1250 calories
19h00 - tea and toasted sandwich with chicken, tomato, cheese and lectures - Great! 9.1mmol/l
Ok this day was a disaster as far as control goes but I did get some much needed rest

4h30 - Morning swim
07h10 - Dry breakfast cereals - this stuff has a honey coating so I eat it like a snack.  Although I finished a 750ml water, My first decaff coffee for the day was better.
10h00 - 1 bake eggs, Vienna and whole wheattoast. 8.3mmol/l

12h30 - Trying a new health mix - Lintels, peas, cucumber and advocado, had balsamick vinegar and smoked chicken on stand by. Must say after dazzling some vinegar it did not need the smoked chicken breasts.
15h00 - coffee and I have also finished 2 liter water for the day (hot day and working hard)
19h00 - Braai at Nadine`s house. 2 Chops, steamed mixed vegetables and corn. Tomorrow is a public holiday and I went big on the sparkling water 

The more active I get the more alcohol messes with my system - just wish I can remember this the next time we have a get together.

Braai (BQ) is normaly a good excuse to have a couple but today I just had sparkeling water with fresh lemon slices. 

Chops, Steamed vegetables and Corn

04h45 went for my morning swim, I only swam a quarter of what I
normally do – it was just great to be back after lying off for 2 weeks with
the flue.


06h45 black decaff coffee – I never thought I will be able to enjoy the de-caffeinated stuff but I must say it is starting to taste O K. 40g nutty wholewhet cereal flakes with milk 
11.8mmol/l

10h15 - Tea and cracker with cheese. 50g peanut


11h00 – Cappuccino and half blueberry muffin - (business meeting at a great coffee-house)

18h35 – Salad, cherry tomato, origanim, sweet basil and small pieces of steak. Decaff
  coffee. I have finish 2.5 litre water for the day

Sunday and looking back - this week has been one of my worst weeks as far as health
  management goes. Tuesday I had 3 Beers. Wednesday another couple - while
  working on a project with Edward.

Thursday was Edward`s birthday, we went big
  with Cocktails and snacks.


Friday
  I managed to gain a little control, drank 2.5 litre water for the day.
  Unfortunately the left-over cake knew my name and just wouldn’t stop calling my
  name.
Spend the whole Saturday working, had a great fish dinner with my wife.
 
Sunday I made serious financial investment mistakes and that made my blood
  sugar levels go sky-high. Stress always makes my Glucose levels
rise.
