Exercise

• Went for a bike ride around 19:00 down the sea front and back again its almost exactly 5 miles in total and takes about 25 minutes. I haven’t been on my mountain bike for a while although I have been on the one at the gym a bit but not really consistently so I wasn’t sure exactly how I would get on, but it wasn’t too bad although its starting to get colder in the evenings and I could have done with a hat on under my helmet. Any way the idea is to increase the amount of exercise to increase my metabolism to kick start the weight loose for the low gl diet.

 My goal is to get down to 13st 7lbs, I don’t have a specific date but 31 December 2008 seems like a good goal I am 14st 7lbs at the moment when I weigh in.

I am starting the Low GL diet the idea is that you eat during the day to maintain your blood sugat level at a consistent level to you don’t then stuff your face.

It is a very low carb diet, I was reading an article in the paper recently and it was saying that a bowl of pasta 20 minutes later is like a bowl of sugar.

I am going to list what I have had to eat during the day and any exercise that I do.
