Fi's Mission back to Profile Pic (p66)

Phew!
I'm releived to hear you say that, I'm just extra prone to having moments of mad thoughts at mo! I know I need to keep my cals as high as poss whilst I'm still losing, I do know this.
I hate to ask what the 'slighty tasty' foods are that you're refering to!
I'm off the couscous now onto the rice and chicken, gonna swap my 6pm meal for a shake and oat cakes  on train. I got some green T extract so I can put that in it along with my espresso, if I then have gym bag in boot of car I can gain 20mins too by going straight there. I tell myself I'll not 'fanny' and just come in get changed, espresso and go, but I don't!

21 weeks to centrals!
1.5lb p/wk = 31.5lb = 2.25stone
No-idea what I'll look like with that off, or if I'll be ready to get on stage looking like that, but hey lets find out eh!?

Welshy I do hear ya, and next year for sure!
But this year I've so much weight to lose that if I can't do it myself, no-one can make me. It should be VERY easy for me to lose the weight, I know what to do, we all know I do, no-one writing me a meal plan is gonna make me stick to it.

xx

Outline your diet and I'm sure I can find something yummy still in it!

I reckon you can lose 2lbs a week for sometime yet, but aim for 1.5 and if you lose more great...
I think you're right no-one can make you stick to it but you so just keep it simple and STOP analysing!
 
YOU'RE GOING TO DO FINE!!

Hello there Hifi....errmm...I have got the right one this time ain't I?...gulp!...hope you are ok and don't mind me dropping in......your journal is brilliant...I can relate to just heaps of stuff on here...so I think I will have to have your babies!....lol...KIDDING!!!!!..actually, I couldn't cos I'm way to busy having Kitty's, Scrubbys and at least half a dozen others....altho' I would consider adopting one on your behalf!....lol......keep going.....you are inspiring.....errrrm.....hope you don't mind me intruding......keep well.....

Ahh, I can't beleive this half hearted attempt is inspiring anyone, so thank you huni, that'll help keep me going, intrude away!

Prob only gonna get to post weekly/ w/e's now. There have been complaints about my chicken smells at my desk, so I have to go eat in the kitchen and I can't figure out how to post from iphone.

Did am cardio and chest n tris and cardio last night.
Missed cardio this am, but thouhjt I should ease myself back in after being soOo bad last week.
Gonna attepmt hams n glutes and cardio tonight.
Swapped 6pm chkn n rice meal on train for a shake + oat cakes, nice change. Had got some green T extract from MyProtein and thought more for immune system than fat butning, but ye bugger by the time I'd walked 7mins back to car I was lathered! Kulio!
Feeling better all the time and quite focussed too.
Gonna double cardio sessions at w/e poss doubles, just 20mins, I shouldn't need a day off, s'omly 20mins. 
Kitty, u used to do 2 hours a day 7 days a week  in your prep didn't you?
Not pleased that scales show 4lb on yesterday am, hoping 2 of those are just fluid with eating higher carbs but have removed carbs from pm meals this week to see if I can jolt body into action (just having an M&S edame salad pot with 100g chkn).
xx

I have been known to go up to 2x1 hours CV for my prep. Didn't quite get up to that much last year but one thing I did different leading to the finals was my final CV session later in the evening approx an hour before going to bed....THAT was horrible!!

Phew... lost 4lb this week!
I reckon it was 2lb loss and 2lb wtaer weight with dropping carbs.
So I'm back to where I was before Harrogate and cold, so need to keep things tight now, but glad it came off nice and quick/ easy in one tight week.
I knew the carb free dinners would do the trick, gonna stick with that again this week.
Strengths returning more each WO.
Feeling good.
xx
EDIT: PS saw Osteo this am and shoulder/neck it a lot better but very 'snarled' gonna make effort to see physio, who stood me up on wed!? to get posture checked, have a lot of tips from osteo to help manage it though.

Hiya, hope you don't mind me popping by?
 
Great news on the weight loss,  been having nice results on the lower carbs myself.
Keep going, you're going to look fantastic.
 
 

Not at all! S'lovely to have people post
Yes, I noticed you had been doing well too. I normally feel quite hard done to, but the edame bean salad pots from M&S are only 130kals and the little bit dressing is divine, so I don't mind that every night!
Don't know about fantastic, there's an awefully long way to go, but gotta look better than I do now!
Mmm, that's a very middle of the road response eh!??! I guess that's just where I am at mo, but... plod.. plod..
xx

Its all good
 
Have you noticed any difference with the low carbs regards training.  I mean things like feeling
shattered, using less weight etc?

No, no difference for me but I do have plenty carbs throught the day including a couple oat cakes an hour b4 training, s'only my evening meal after traning at 9.30pm that's (complex) carb free.

You've been doing carb free after your breaki?
Are you making up the calories with extra fats?
ExtraVirginOliveOil or 'Good'Oil is an excellent mix of your omega's or Udo's?
It does take the body a couple of weeks to adjust it's metabolic/ energy burning pathways when you do this, I think? So you're energy strength should return.

Hey there missis...you're doing great....if it's going down then all is well hey?...it took me ages to drop 3 plus stone but I'm pleased I did it...still struggling with the last half to one stone...I just don't how people get down there.....phew......keep going .......It's great to see what you're up to and it's helpful ain't it?...yup!...take care right?...don't make me come up there and drag you out for a jog now!!!!!......lolol...I eat oatcakes in the day too...and nanas and sometimes have a slice of bread now and again, but bread seems to stodge me up....

Work early in the morning so first 3 or 4 meals have carbs.
Still have dextrose in my pwo shake though.

Supplementing with flaxseed oil at the moment, usually put it on my veggies in the evening.

Cheers for the help, nice to get extra advice on these things.

Lets have a smashing week on the prep choo choo Fi !! x

hello Hififi hope the cold has gone and the shoulder/neck probs. Enjoying your journal hope you don't mind but I've come on board!  xx

Not at all kels, choo choo!
Yep cold gone, fear shoulder/ neck may be something else (like back) that I just have to live with and manage, just no good reason for it?!?
Gonna ask doc about poss of accupuncture on nhs, no time for physio on nhs, as in I'm too busy and work in London not that they're all crap!

Bit pissed of tonight, sis has said that due to my M+D's anniversary party same w/e as Northern, no-one will come to see me!
Well **** them!
Ok maybe a lot pissed off!
Really need to do it now, not that I didn't before.
