Lite n Easy - Week ?
If you’ve been following my blog for a little while you’ll know that I’ve been dieting with Lite n Easy. Well I figured I should probably write a quick update on my progress seeing as the last time I wrote anything about it was going on 2 months ago.
Ok, so how have I been going with the diet? Reasonably well, particularly considering I’ve ‘diverted’ from the diet way too many times in the last month or so. In total I’ve lost 13 and a bit kilogams, that’s 28 or so pounds for my American friends, I think I probably would’ve lost more but in the last month I’ve been a little tempted by other foods, and yeh we’ve gone out to dinner a few times also.
Where to now? Well basically I’m continuing on with Lite n Easy, but I’ve changed my ‘order’ a little by only ordering 5 day a week plan instead of the full 7 day a week plan. Basically this small change will allow me to continue to lose weight, but also it’ll allow me to actually do some cooking and even eat out occasionally without wasting food and money.
“It’s kind of like having a chef organise everything for you during the week when you’re the busiest, and then come the weekend you’re left to your own devices.”
Anyway, today for lunch I had the Chicken and Vegetable Curry for the first time. It was packed full of lentils, chickpeas, carrot, cauliflower and chicken, it even had a nice curry ‘kick’ to it.
Lite n Easy, week 6
Well it’s been a couple of weeks since I’ve updated you about my progress on Lite n Easy, partially because there was a week or two where I didn’t lose any weight but I blame myself for that seeing as I was drinking a few beers.
Anyway I’m properly back on the Lite n Easy wagon now and with the weight I lost last week I’ve managed to lose 10kg so far, so that’s 10kg in 5 weeks..not bad at all really.
The good thing about losing weight this way is that it’s sustainable loss, ie. you don’t put it back on straight away unlike some other rapid weight loss diets where you usually have put it all back on within a week or two.
Week 6 is just about to start, in fact it should be being delivered in an hour or so….hrmmm I might grab a few photos, or a video, of the unpacking process as you’ll get a good idea of exactly what is involved with dieting with Lite n Easy.
So stay tuned for some photos or video, not sure if I’ll be able to upload them this morning as I’ve got to go to Sydney for a meeting, but I’ll try and get them uploaded later today when I’m back.
Take it easy, Matt
Ch ch ch changes!
As of today you’ll find a number of changes happening here at Mathew Packer dot com.
The first thing you’ll notice is that I’m working on a new theme, and call me insane but I’m going to be working on it live! No one in their right mind would work on their website live while it was still getting hits, and normally I wouldn’t as I wouldn’t want to negatively effect the advertising click potential of the site, however I’m willing to work on it this was as I don’t care about the advertising clicks on here as I’m ditching the advertising!
So as you just read the second big change is getting rid of the advertising on this website. As of about 2 weeks ago my subscriber count has risen from 20 people per day up to 75 per day, this is a pretty huge increase but my click rate on the advertisements has not risen at all. This has lead me to the conclusion that people actually enjoy what I write enough to actually subscribe to the RSS so I figure I would do everyone a favour and serve the site sans advertising.
Over the Christmas period last year I was all about ‘making money online’. Pretty well every post was about some form of revenue generation and blah blah blah, it’s all a bunch of ‘me too’ content that was being said by every second blogger out there. Looking back now I can clearly see that I was just jumping aboard the copycat express with everyone other sucker out there.
A month or so ago I started supplementing my MMO articles with real life articles, the couple of recipes I’ve posted bring in more traffic than any other ‘insert big affiliate marketing website name here’ article that I was writing as has the Lite n Easy Diet progress articles that I’ve written. This is the direction I now want to take my blog in.
From here on out I’ll be writing various posts on things that are happening in my life, around home, around work, etc. I’ve got plenty going on with all the happenings at I’m With The Band, launching the new targeted pain relief device Pain Gone, getting my ‘how to start a business’ website together at A Business Is Born, the medical news website that I’m helping work out with Medical News, Stat! , and I’ve even had a few emails from people in the last week asking me if I could develop blog themes for their websites as they saw me advertising myself as Freelance Matt.
All these changes are effective immediately! As soon as I hit the ‘Publish’ button I’ll get started on the theme changes, it’s going to look a little different around here sometime in the next minute or so..
Oh and for those of you who are still interested in Making Money Online, and Making Money Blogging, I’ll still publish the odd article about how I’m doing this as I’m concentrating my advertising and what not on the other websites I own, I may even still publish income reports……
Cheers, Matt
