Weight loss tips - diet pointers

Hey there, It's been a while since I last posted...mostly it's because I was feeling really guilty about how much I ate during the weekend. On Friday evening I found a website which stated that at least once a week you can eat all you want...I can't find the link for it right now. Basically this guy said that during his weight loss experience he ate a very low fat and low carb diet throughout the whole week but on Saturday he ate "pure crap" all day long: chocolate, pasta, sweets...you name it. This seemed too good to be true but none-the-less I wanted to try it; so last Saturday was a guilt free day: I can't remember what I ate, I just know that I ate a lot. I didn't feel guilty until Sunday...cos I could not stop eating! Sweets, big plates of pasta, pizza, pork chops etc... I felt guilty as hell :'( To compensate I did a lot of exercise: lost of push ups, weights, cycling and I did the whole abs-reps which I posted as a video on the post before this one. Trust me those really work after 3 minutes you'll feel the burning sensation in your muscles which clearly means that the muscles are getting a good workout.
Yesterday all I did as exercise was 30 minutes walk...and moving heavy furniture all morning cos me and my colleague were transferred to a new office and we had to move everything there (btw, I hate the new office, it's so cramped, I hate it, I hate it.). Anyway, I ended up with a major headache , probably because of the new office, so I didn't feel like doing anymore exercise. I did keep the diet though. For breakfast I had a bowl of Kellogg's Special K, for lunch I had a low fat brown-bread sandwich and a small plate of pasta and some lean pork chops for dinner. I did not eat anything else, I'm so proud of myself :) hehe. I think that while you're on a diet, the best thing to do is to keep yourself occupied and not think about food. Here is a link with a list of things to do when you need to keep your mind occupied.
That's it for today, see you.
