Update 6 July, 2006

Okay it's been a while.

On June 13 I started a new diet. Inspired in part by Jeremy Zawodny, I built a brand new spreadsheet to track my daily KJ intake and progress.

My original goal was to lose 2kg a week but after the first week I realised that was perhaps a bit too ambitious and I might lose motivation, so I pulled it back to 1kg a week.

In the intervening three weeks, I've lost 5.1kg. And, as you can see from the attached spreadsheet, that includes eating ice cream most nights for dessert and even the rare Krispy Kreme donut!

I'm feeling pretty good about it at this stage and am confident I can keep this up for the next 7 weeks.

Why This Blog Exists

A few months ago I appointed beti as my fitness coach. Apart from being the host of TPN's Health & Fitness Show, she also runs an online personal fitness studio. Anyway... let's just say I haven't executed the program she set out for me. I told her I needed motivating and she told me to set up this blog and make it public. So I guess it's going to contain my program, my diet, and my progress on both.

So... over to you beti!
