Simon's 21-day checkin
So I'm going to check in every day for the first 21 days on here. Yaay.
Today: SUCCESS.
Breakfast
2 x soft boiled egg
3 x slice of toast
Lunch
Polish bean soup with chicken
Broccoli and Cauliflower
2 x small pitta
1 x banana
(yes, I stuck it all on one plate!)
Dinner
Home cooked fried fish
Rice and mixed vegetables
1 x potato waffle
2 x small potato smiley face (hey, the kids were eating them...)
1 x small espresso coffee
Feel free to comment if you think that's too much food! FWIW, I'm 184cm tall and weigh 116kg at the moment. Last time I started No S, I was 120kg, I dropped down to 96kg before my resolve failed (and 20kg has come back on slowly since then).

Thanks for the feedback - I've had the wife put a slice of cake in the fridge for me, she says it'll hold til Saturday

Four toasts with cheese and ham

I've worked out part of my problem. My wife's a damn good cook, and I like eating
Can't wait for that darn S day tomorrow. Although it'll take all of my willpower not to pig out - we're going to a barbeque!

Wednesday 18th July
Thanks for the comments guys!
Wednesday: SUCCESS (sort of)
Breakfast
Two poached eggs
Four slices of toast (two with pate)
Lunch
Nothing (but see below)
Dinner
Large bowl of mixed chow mein
followed by small bowl of chicken chow mein in lieu of lunch
What can I say? I was hungry! I didn't have time during the day to have Lunch, so at around 6pm when I sat down to eat the evening meal, I devoured my dinner, and knew I'd still be hungry in the evening. So I had lunch too.
Three meals, no snacking, no sweets, and this wasn't really seconds, it was time-delayed lunch - I'm counting this as a success

Back from holiday!
So, end of Holiday was Monday. I gained just under 1kg from five weeks of excess - mainly because it was so hot everywhere that we didn't eat very much! Hawaii, Tokyo, Hong Kong, Bangkok - we were eating twice a day, and drinking lots and lots of water!
Tuesday was a failure - I tried, and failed. Too hard, after a long holiday. Wednesday was better.
Wednesday: SUCCESS
Breakfast
Bowl of Special K
Lunch
Kotlety Schabowe (Polish pork cutlets)
Mashed Potatoes
Mushroom Sauce
Green salad
Dinner
Two cheese and ham toasties
And now I'm back
