OK, so diet progress, so far so good. kinda.

I’ve not followed and proper kind of diet plan. It’s hard to do with a family, as they all have different needs. I’ve kind of just made it up as I go along. I read a thing about soup being a good idea, so I’ve got the old pressure cooker out and have been making a bowl of soup per day. It seems to work out for that to be lunch. For the rest of it, on the first day I went out for breakfast with Mrs Rad and just had a bowl of fruit, so I’ve been sticking with that. Then a proper meal in the evening, but with yogurt and fruit afterwards.

For drinks, I’ve been having just water, as much as I can. I get offered a few sugary drinks and that has generally been fine.

So how has it been going. Generally fine. I’ve definitely got into a pattern and been mostly sticking to it so I can feel some progress. Until today. Which was a lesson learned. I felt quite hungry in the morning, but then came IKEA.

So we ordered some bits from IKEA that were supposed to go with the bed that we had bought a few weeks back. They had been out of stock so Mrs Rad tried to order them online. And we waited in all day yesterday for them. But did they come? No. Why? That took 3 phone calls to find out, and it seems to be possibly the packaging label was damaged so they didn’t know where to send it.

But all was not lost, I could see online that they might have one of the things in stock at IKEA, so I thought I’d ride the bike over to get it. Well it’s 10 miles each way, not too hard on the electric bike but it was windy. And that probably burnt too many calories. So this evening I just got too hungry and I’ve been eating everything.

So lesson learnt – don’t let yourself get too hungry.

And did they have the thing in IKEA. Of course not.
