Anyone seen my mojo? ...


I'm trying desperately to find my mojo again. It's totally vanished and do ya think I can remember where I left it???


While waiting for the pager to go off at the ambo station the other day I picked up a book and started reading. 'Diary of a Fat Man'. I'm usually against such 'tacky' books but his writing style actually grabbed my attention.


It still goes against the grain for me reading a book about a guy who loses 64kgs to 'gain his life back' (his words) and then dies 6mths later!! But hey still a good read.


I'm about a third of the way through it and one of the diet's he does (twice a year) is the 'Greenlane Diet' named because Greenlane Hospital uses it for all their patients waiting for open heart surgery. It's remarkably simple and cheap so I thought 'what they hey? I'll give it a go'


It involves a very strict diet for three days and 4 days off, 3 days on, 4 days off etc. I think I need a bit of structure at the moment to get me aysse into line!


This is todays food ...


Breakfast - 1/2 grapefruit, 1 slice dry toast, 1tblsp peanut butter


Lunch - 1 slice dry toast, 1/3c tuna


Lunch - 1 cup green beans, 1 cup beetroot, 2 slices lean meat


Dessert - 1 small apple, 1 cup ww icecream


Feeling good so far but only upto lunchtime... see how I feel on day 3!!!

A friend of mine's mother lost a heap of weight doing this 3 days on 4 days off.I suppose the theory is it tricks your body into thinking your not starving it so it dosen't go into plateau mode.

I enjoyed that book and thought he was amazing, a real change of lifestyle for him.

Weird how mojo comes and goes - I'm sure your yours will come back soon! Maybe take a look at your progress photos for a bit of inspiration!

Hi there
Please would you blog the name / mail me with the name of the man who wrote Diary of a Fat Man as I tried to look for it in the library (in Australia) and couldn't find anything under that title - hoping to have more luck with the author's name !
Thanks very much and have a fantastic day !
Me
