Fi's Mission back to Profile Pic (p66)

Well you sound perfectly normal to me chuck!! I can't think of any of us who haven't been through all the thinking that you posted about at one point. The thing is to let it out and you've done right posting this. The first time round is scary and when you've got through it the once you know you can do it again but believe me it still happens. 2 weeks out from me going to the States I was in tears for a whole morning having dwelt on negatives for over a day and no matter what hubbie said it didn't matter. If you work through it you know the games for you. This is what sorts out the weak from the strong so show us what strength you really have.

Regarding the 1800 cals and not losing weight in spite of the cardio you're doing then is it time you came off the SW diet? This is what made me stop as I wasn't progressing. It's good for general weight loss but for this game it doesn't really allow the right form of eating. The other question to ask....and I'm being completely blunt......but are you really being strict and sticking to 1800 cals OR is the odd little thing creeping in that you "conveniently" forget about?? Only you know the answer to this.

*poke poke*

How did your week start lovely ?

again, awe/ahh.
Thanx kitty.
I knew I'd only get the support I needed if I was honest.
My goal for the next two weeks is to do just that, tighten diet up. Little things have crept in, that even SW don't allow, so not sure why they have!?

How did your week start lovely ?

Alright, alright, I had it ready just not time to post...
 
5.45am: Espresso
6am: 1hr recumbent bike
7.30am: 25g oats made as porridge with water (+dash; cinamen, mixed spice, sweetner & salt) with shake 25g with espresso in it.
10am: 105g honeydew melon+150g lowfat cottage cheese
1pm: 50g tinned tuna+50g tinned salmon+corgette+2 toms+balsamic+chives+rice
4pm: ½ MyProtein choc chip flapjack bar
7pm: 150g Chicken breast with salad with left over calves liver from yesterday + balsamic
9pm: ½ MyProtein choc chip flapjack bar
 
Took day off work, I pinched something in my shoulder blade yesterday and wanted to get it sorted asap. As I was going to see chiro and have a massage I knew I wouldn’t be able to go back to gym tonight, so hence the hours recumbent this am.
I have a constant back niggle and the recumbent’s non-aggravating, I can manage psyco stairmaster 2/3 nights a week without too much aggrevation, and do fell the recumbant’s working well for me.
Had unplanned rice with lunch today, as home and felt I needed comfort food with injury and miserable weather, so this has resulted in calories over the 1800.  But dinner was as normal so I’m confident that tomorrow’ll be a lot better.

I haven’t particularly set the goal figures, just the cals and the protein, feel free to chip in if you think I could keep an eye on/split the fat+carbs better, otherwise I’m just gonna concentrate on the cals and protein and use low fat common sense. The carbs are hig (if they are?) Cos of unplanned rice and flapjack, and it’s the last one I promise not to buy anymore!

hey,

good to see things are much more on track now! 

preparation is the key to sticking to a diet, and you seem to be getting better with this!

i will put money on it, that if you stick to the plan well for a couple of weeks, then you will see results!  and that will give motivation a huge boost!

keep us updated, and ill be popping in again regularly  :-)

Awe thnx dazc.

If you're still not progressing may I suggest switching cardio. Recumbant bike is probably the least effective to help burn calories. Try something more weight baring even if it's just good old walking at pace

Have a nice night out with g/f  meal plan sounds lovely

kitty
 
may I suggest switching cardio

you may indeed!
Pretty sure I am progressing, can feel clothes are looser this week.
 
But I'm not weighing myself! Not untill 21st. We go to Tenerife for a week on 22nd. I don't want to be distracted by the scales, they haven't helped lately, nothing to do with the excess calories
I'm gonna just stick with programe HARD untill 21st and hopefully have a lovely surprise for holiday.
Although an hour on the bike can get quite boring, so may mix it up, was just whilst pinched nerve in back/shoulder calmed down, which is now a lot better, back to weights at w/e too.

Loch Fyne for T, had the mixed grill; salmon, bream, king prawn and scallops with a few chips and veg. I drove so no alcohol calories and had ¼ promax bar when we got back as pud with coffee, as planned. Didn’t do Dailyburn but even if calories were over, which they prob were, it was healthier fish, clean protein and I stuck to plan so psychologically felt fine.

Bad day today.
Not bad food or exercise wise, 20mins at gym am, usual diet, no pm cardio at girlfriends for T but she'd done salad and baked potatoe and I took a salmon steak.
I'm juts feeling really low, like I mayaswell give up now, as my thighs aint ever gonna look like kitty's
SoooOooo bloated
Maybe it's my hormones, I HATE this effing pill I'm on but too heavy for doc to put me back on one I like
I'm moody, angry, weepy, self pitying, blerghh, all total UNhelp
Girlfriend suggests I have a dairy free week to give body a rest and assess situ, she could be right. I know I have slight diary intolerance so why TF am I having 2 whey shakes and 2 portions of cottage cheese a day??!!??
May go to waitrose and buy a LOT of their organic chkn at w/e for trail next week, it's VERY yummy, but VERY expensive!
But anything to feel better.
She too think I'm kidding myself with my cheat 'meal' tho, to hear it from someone so close really meant something, she's gonna help me in new year. Now I just need to kick Mark's butt into helping me a bit more. I need him to take control on a Sat pm for me.
