This morning I jumped on the bathroom scales, to be pleasantly surprised by my weight. I'd lost about 0.5kg since the previous morning, and I'm now just over 102kg, almost half way to my first minor goal of getting my weight back under 100kg. I'm doubly pleased, because this is also the lowest my weight has been for quite some time. I can't remember a time in the last 12 months where I've weighed less than 103kg, so this is very encouraging for me.
The next big challenge for me now is how to handle gaming sessions. A typical gaming session sees half a dozen of us guys sitting around for up to 8 hours, munching away on whatever junk food we've brought to share. Even with a certain amount of leeway to eat some unhealthy food, I'm concerned that I'll splurge at the next session, and over do things.
With this in mind, I've been thinking of some alternative food that I could take, which is going to be a good substitute for chips, chocolates and other such junk. First up on the suggestion list are humble nuts. I discovered a very nice sounding recipe for spiced almonds (recipe # 3), which I'll definitely be trying. I'll also be taking along a bunch of grapes, as they're nice and convenient, and also healthy. Finally, I'll add in some dark chocolate (either 70 or 85% cocoa), just in case the lure of sweet food is too much.
