Total calories yesterday was 1205. Okay, it's officially the end of week 1 and the beginning of week 2. I know, I know, that technically speaking I started my diet on Monday not Sunday, however Sunday will be the start of the week as far as the diet is concerned, so all that means is that week 1 was short by 1 day - I'd rather than then have Monday as the start of the week.
Energy Drink - Absolutely no energy drinks.
Alcohol - None thus far (since 28/12/2013), the rule is subject to change.
Bread - I haven't eaten any, but I have had a couple of wheat products (which I'm not intending to avoid - ie extra thin pizza bases, etc). This is only a short trial.
Takeaway - none since 29/12/2013; not 100% completely banned however will avoid as much as possible for the moment.
Snacking - the rules will be somewhat more relaxed then I originally implied. Over the last week I had one unhealthy snack (on 03/01/2013), largely because I could do so and still keep to target 1200 calories. Also, 7PM is NOT my "final cut off time" although it is still the goal since anything eaten after this hour is unhelpful.
Breakfast - sometimes I have a larger breakfast as I did this morning (1x Large bowl of cereal), although usually it's consistent. In order to keep it consistent I'll now be using just one bowl that is the correct size for it.
Calories - the number one rule - I am counting them, which I've never done before, and will help me to keep consistent throughout the diet. My goal is around 1200/day and thus far I've adhered near perfectly.

Way more healthy than anything from Subway, it's actually fresh not Subway pretend-fresh, and the flavour melts in your mouth.

"That's disgusting. There were clean athletes out there that have had their whole careers ruined by people like Lance Armstrong who just bended thoughts to fit their circumstances. He didn't look up cheating because he wanted to stop, he wanted to justify what he was doing and to keep that continuing on." - Nicole Cooke
