I'm trying to loose weight too. At the moment I'm concentrating more on my running than my cycling though.

I wondered if anyone could give me a clue about why I want to fall asleep every afternoon. I feel like dropping off at work from about 2pm onwards, but I am fully wide awake again by the time I go home. Now this could either be because I am bored out of my brain (which I am ), due to my diet, or something else entirely!

My typical day would be
Breakfast (7am): Porridge (I think it is called Oatmeal in the US)
Lunch (12.30-1.30 ish depending on work-load): Pasta salad / Rice salad with some beans and ham mixed in for protein
Afternoon snack (3pm to 4pm): slice of malt loaf and some dried cranberries and blueberries
Evening meal (7pm ish): typically fish or lean meat with some new potatoes and vegetables or stirfry with noodles/rice

I felt like this even before I started trying to get healthy and decided that I was probably eating too much at lunch. I would really appreciate some advice. I keep thinking that one day I really will fall asleep and my boss will walk in to find me under the desk!
