Went shopping today and managed to get a cheap pair if trainers, cheap sports bra and cheap MP3 player to go with my sporty pushchair so now I'm ready for C25K... downloaded first podcast and hoping to get started tonight on the way to polling station!

Food today...
2 slices granary toast, marmite and cheese spread
Small slice of fruit loaf
Flapjacks
Small bowl of pork chili pasta

Will probably join OH in pasta bake with broccoli and asparagus later, after my walk/jog session.

Bad bad bad day. Popped into poundland on way home and bought multipack of wotsits???? Why??? I knew what would happen. But oh no, told myself I would be good, but I lied. To myself. What an idiot.
All gone. I feel sick. v sick.

What can I have for dinner that has no calories, lettuce, toms and cue and some left over kidney beans? That sounds low??
Shame on me.

procrastinator - we all have those days, don't stress too much

b - nutrigrain bar
l - chocolate milk, melon
d - sardines on toast, 2 jaffa cakes
s - walkers baked crisps

Got some bad news yesterday, so wasn't very hungry today.

procrastinator - try not to beat yourself up too much - as slowlyfading says, we all do it! In your place I think I'd go for something simple and nutritious for dinner - the salad you suggest sounds good - then forgive yourself for your slip and start again. As you're signature says - you'll get there (as will we all, with a bit of luck ).


Minor update to my day - I didn't go the long way round to the voting station after all, nor did my eat my kiwi fruit mid-afternoon: I really should get into the habit of peeling and slicing them before I go to work as I can never be bothered to do it once I'm there . Hey ho - tomorrow is another day.

procrastinator like the others said, we all do it honey, don't let it put you off! Tomorrow is another day! Lesson learned and all that...

Slowlyfading ((hugs)) sorry you had bad news, hope you're ok.

Did the first session of the Couchto5K, went well, ddn't think I was going to make it but I did, then voted, then walked briskly home and jogged the last 2 minutes as it was downhill! Feel warm, tired and achey but also exhilarated and very pleased with myself. Just hope I can stick at it now, but I have a friend doing it with me and we've vowed to keep eachother on track.
By this time of night I'm usually half asleep on the sofa but I'm surprised that I have more energy now...

Had small dinner: small portion of pasta bake wth broccoli and aspargus on the side. Followed by lots of water!

Morning all! After my lapse and pig out on Wednesday night I am back on the straight and narrow (for now anyway!) Here is what I ate yesterday:

B - Benefit flakes with sliced banana and sk. milk
L - HM Tomato, basil and lentil soup. Ham salad sarnie in Nimble bread.
WW FF yogurt
D - Cauli cheese grill, salad, new pots (NO butter!) and peas.
Small meringue, raspberries & blueberries with FF fromage frais
Snacks throughout - Satsumas, grapes and bag WW Cheese bites.

I have just planned my menu for today, though I usually wait and see what I fancy at the time:

B - Fruity Porridge (new line from Aldi)
L - HM Red Pepper soup and salad sarnie in granary roll.
Sugar free jelly and mixed berries, blob of FF fromage frais
D - Grilled Tuna steak with salad and HM potato wedges
Mini meringue and stewed berries
Snacks will, hopefully, just be fruit.

Have a good day everybody!

I read this thread every morning and start off with good intentions. Thanks everyone, it is a help, honest! Today is the day I'm going to start taking action. Got a visit to rellies planned in June and sister coming to stay in July, I know they won't say anything but I know what they are thinking... hate being the 'fat one' of the family:o
Going to start taking my own advice. Will download 25k podcast and start it TODAY. Been very busy clearing an overgrown garden but doesn't seem that the exercise is enough to shift the fat!:mad:
Well done to the poster who is going to run with a buggy, I lost my post baby weight years ago by pushing baby out in a big silver cross pram twice a day. I was determined in those days.:(
Suggestions for 'fast food' : I keep some hard boiled eggs in the fridge handy for those 'starving moments', at 80 calories not to much damage and quite filling as it's protein. Would have been useful to add to that salad:D
Dare I join the May challenge? Yes, because I haven't got any choice really! I'll be grateful for any loss at all...
Good luck everyone:D

Bfast fruit and fibre with added fresh raspberries.
Lunch pasta salad
Dinner not sure as out this afternoon walking with friend then off to see another friend who is in hosp so not sure of where I'll be or what time home.

Hi there, will you have enough fruit and veg in there to get your 5 a day? No critisism intended and realise you may be adding it and not showing.
