The weight loss programme hit a bit of a wall. It's called "Needing to write Assignments". I started drinking a lot of sweet tea, drinking beer and spending a lot of time on my bum. I also restarted eating meat and eating when I'm not hungry. I gained a kilo.

My basic strategy has evolved into one of losing weight...in my case 5 kilo's. Consolidate the weight loss....i.e. deal with blow outs like the one I've just had and then proceed to the next goal. If we keep a desired weight loss for over a month, then there is the overwhelming chance that we will have lost that weight permanently.

Fair enough, you may suddenly go on a complete bender and smoke cannabis like a chimney, be responsible for the sudden surge in profits for your local shit food outlets and decide that trakkie dacks are the fashion statement  and make a stroke as your preferred lifestyle choice, but I figure that by now you, like me, are liking the change in your looks, so that isn't going to happen.

I found the protein shake on a website. After Shane Warne's almost spooky weight loss using these things I've found them interesting. I'm not wild about the Whey Protein Isolate...if you intake enough of this stuff it actually does fuck up your kidney's. I'd either add more tofu or toss in a raw egg.

Protein Shake:

• 1 glass of light milk
• 6 table spoons of oats, 1 table spoon honey
• 2 slices paw paw
• 1 table spoon of WPI (Whey Protein Isolate)
• 25gm of Silken Tofu
• 1 banana

You can see where the shake actually works. There is a shitload of both fibre and protein in this shake, both of which will keep you feeling full. It seems nutritinally balanced and a vegan version could be made using soy products...soy milk instead of cows milk and soy powder in place of the whey.
This reminds me...gotta go buy my Bamix/Immersion/Stick Blender so I can make one of these shakes up.

My lunch today: Ryvita with Hummus and Chilli Chutney....the other half thinks it looks revolting
