Eating out and meeting friends is always a challenge when I’m trying to lose weight - what do I eat and drink and where do I go, without forcing my friends to live the “diet” also?

Last night’s choice was Korean. Taste was excellent (surprising for a Korean restaurant in Japan) but I can’t say that it will have contributed positively to my fat shedding plans. What definitely wont have contributed positively would be the alcohol induced “I need something to eat” late night snack when I got home. Can’t believe I did that - my stomach was still full this morning.

I have two other big meals out this week, one today and one tomorrow. Despite last night and the upcoming evenings being less than optimal, I still have the goal firmly in mind and I’m moving towards it with focus on empowering lunches.

Yesterday’s food:

Daytime:
Kimchi, tuna and egg salad with dressing, Japanese vegetables: 303kcal
Vegetable juice: 279kcal

Evening:
Oven cooked salmon with vegetables and vegetable. Home cooked so I didn’t count calories, but minimal use of fats.

Today’s weight: 81.8kg

Enough is enough. From March until May this year I managed to get down to my ideal weight. But then disaster struck. I got ill - and with illness came less focus of maintaining weight and more focus on just… surviving.

Now it’s November, and I’m 82.3kg, which is about 7kg above the weight I want to be. I have to restart getting back to my ideal weight now, not least because I need to lose these man boobs before I go to Thailand on December 5th.

Weight today, November 10th: 82.3kg.

Ultimate goal: 74kg.

This blog is going to be my personal record, something to ensure that I am publically making the effort. It’s not advice. It’s possibly not even exciting. But it will lead to success.
