Diet Update

[andrewducker]

Well, since dropping the carbohydrates again and getting more sleep, I now feel far, far better. In fact, despite havign a slight cold I feel better than I have in weeks.

Note to self: stop being an idiot and thinking that you can have "just one sweet thing". You can't. The occasional higher-carb savoury thing won't kill you, but sweet things are just death.

I can empathise with that! I really have to do some exercise most days, or I get miserable.

I think I'm just set up to be healthy and have had to try too hard in the past to keep up the unhealthy programmer lifestyle.

I LIKE vegetables. I feel a strong desire to exercise. I naturally walk or cycle and I always take the stairs (even with shopping). I don't like sweets/cakes/chocolate/biscuits/jam. I feel much better if I avoid caffeine and alcohol (though I do like them!). I'm not really fond of any other drugs.

I like some exercise (walking is good, I used to enjoy badminton and tennis). Oh, and vegetables are great.

But i'm generally too lazy and I loooove sugar.

It's the dogs. I always did do a lot of walking and cycling, particularly when I lived farther from Uni. Not so much anymore, but then, I now have a bicycle that needs fixing and is so heavy I can barely carry it down the stairs... but I'm out in the park every day with the dogs now, and it's become such a part of my routine that even if I do walk into town and back, I'll really want to go down to the park. Dogs are good. :)
I'm with you on the sweets-- just don't like 'em, or sweet sweet sweet drinks like Coke. Blasted high fructose corn syrup. I love veggies-- roasted aubergine, yum yum yum!-- and I prefer olive oil to butter... but try to take away my caffene and you will meet with stern resistance!
