Day 24, wow, I know I haven't updated everyday, but I am trying my best and am trying to backtrack what I have eaten every day.
But before I get to that, GO SCHLAAAAND!!! Grats Germany! You played well. That goal was unlucky for the English, but lucky for you and that is how football goes!
To England, sorry, it was an unfair decision and should have been a goal, but frankly, you played shit!
That's my 2 cents worth!

Day 18: Bafana Bafana show those frenchies
Well done Bafana Bafana!
Even though you might be out of the world cup you really showed those frenchies!
I find it a disgrace that French coach, Raymond Domenec, didn't even want to shake SA coaches, Carlos Alberto Parreira, hand. Disgusting. It does not matter what has happened in the past.
Anyway, well done Boys! You did us very proud!
On the fitness side of things, I couldn't go to gym, as Simon had to work late. I know it is a weak excuse, but I need my gym buddy!
I am going today instead.
Pierre
Breakfast: Muesli
Lunch: Gammon sandwich x 2 (need to get rid of the left overs)
Dinner: Vegetable Pasta thingie (Forgot the name for it, but will post the recipe this weekend I think)
Other: N/A

Day 9: Calories saved and "Go Germany!"
Right, danger averted. Katrina became ill with a cold, so no roast dinner for me! :(
I ended up having a nice breakfast thought, that was fattening enough. For the main meals, I just ended up having left overs and such. Pretty much saved over 2000 calories. Allegedly that is bad for you. Is there a maximum you are allowed to lose a day? I will have to research!
On that note, I have started to take that glass of water first thing in the morning and eating my breakfast within 1 hour. So far I haven't noticed anything different, bar that I get a queasy feeling, which goes within 15 minutes. I spose if you are woken by cold water it is no fun.
I also seem to get heartburn an hour or 2 after having cereal. Especially something like muesli. It is difficult to say what it could be. I have IBS, so it could be many things from allergies to just not drinking enough water. So this week, I have decided to try drinking more water. A glass every hour. No not on the hour, but just make sure I drink a glass of water or a cup of coffee/tea. Should that not help, I will try the dreaded cutting out of dairy products.
And lastly, well done Germany. What an amazing match. It was so good I had to watch the highlights twice. Watch out world, Germany might just win this. That is if SA doesn't do it! :)

Weigh Day 2: My new Weight, the World Cup and ThinkTank
Right, it is Weigh Day 2 and the results are in! I have lost a whopping... *drum roll here* ... 1 kg. Not much, but its a progress, especially as I am just starting out and figuring out what to cut out. Also, the whole story about when you exercise you initially gain weight etc, can be true. I never thought it would be, basically it was used as an excuse. Having done some research however, it seems that it can happen. So I have decided to start measuring myself as well. That way I have 2 methods of keeping track of my weight.
Right, Secondly, sorry about the delay in post, I have been quite busy. Friday with the world cup and yesterday I helped Katrina with her cubs at the ThinkTank museum in Birmingham.
Firstly, well done Bafana Bafana! I am really chuffed. You nearly walked away with the victory and are very unlucky. I think this is a prime example of what playing in your home country can bring. You fought hard and well and maybe, just maybe, with that amount of support you have a chance to progress. Maybe even further than the 2nd round? :)
Also, regarding England. Well, shocker. I admit, I thought you would thrash USA, but the finishing!! Still many matches to come. All I need now is Germany to win!!
ThinkTank! A Science museum in Birmingham. I had to help Katrina and the other leaders take the 46 Scouts, Beavers and Cubs to this museum. Boy can I tell you, compared to the kids, the football on Monday was a walk in the park. They where so excited and had so much fun. Personally however, I found the museum a little disappointing. Even though there where many buttons to push, none of them where geared at us adults that want to see things really happen. Most contraptions where there to show concepts, which on larger machines is ok, but on a button making machine that is the size of an oven? Can't see it actually making buttons. Also, the amount to see there was to little. At least I think so. Maybe it was more a lack of things I am interested in and in the end it is geared for kids to young adults. All in all though, I did have fun. So thanks Scouts, Beavers and Cubs.
Lastly, re the food. Yesterday was pretty good, especially as I did LOADS of walking. I think though that I need to be a little tight on portion control and will start experimenting with healthy recipes I find. It is going to be a struggle, as today we get a roast dinner. Less gravy I spose and at least we don't have crackling.
Anyway, this is quite a long post and I don't want to bore you with my life any longer, on this last day of the weekend.

Day 8: World Cup Fever
Its time people! The World Cup is here! The opening concert was amazing according to all my friends, sadly I missed it, but am sure to see it as a repeat soon. The first match is this afternoon and I can't wait to see it.
GO BAFANA BAFANA!
Re the 8th day, all went well, bar working a little late and hence not going to the gym. I will rectify this by going this afternoon, before the match.
Re the blog. I am not going to go into detail on how the dieting went every day, as mostly I just try to eat less and nothing much really happens. So unless it is a major development, I wont mention much about it. I will rather post about other relevant matters and I will also try to test some of those tips and mention more of them. I am guessing most my posts will be about the world cup for the next month or so, with progress as it happens! I will still post what I eat on a daily basis though.
Pierre
Breakfast: Crunchy Nut Clusters (its finished now!)
Lunch: Left over Bangers and mash, small portion!
Dinner: Mousakka (was nice :D, highish on calories, but I was still 1000 under maintenance amount)
Other: Nudda!
