Weight Loss the Old Style Way! Part 7. Please read posts 1 and 2 before posting.

Hi all,

Ragz, I know that's not a sustainable loss and am fully expecting to only lose a lb next week. I'm pretty sure most of it was water retention and bloating - not from totm but from having eaten way too much bread for many months previous I used to be able to lose about 3lbs over a week from changing my eating habits, but have never lost that much in a week before - again, I'm aware its from flushing out my sytem with all the fruit and veg I've eaten!!!

My belly is definitely less bloated - it's gone down way more than I had hoped - so it's not really because of the loss, but because of the change in diet


Anyways:

b: 2 wtabx and nana with oat milk
s: few raspberries and strawberries. 2 ryvita and pastrami
l: Potato salad with salad, peppers, tomato
s: melon, tangerine
d: smoked haddock, veg, mash and napoli sauce if I can find the recipe.

So far so good,
B - 1 grilled rasher back bacon, fat removed, 1 egg and 1 mushroom fried in frylight (still not very successful with it, dry frying seems better)
Pulm exercise class for 1 hour
Took car to garage and had to wait 3/4 hour while they ran a diagnostic check, so walked!!!!! to supermarket and back. Took an hour to go 75 yards, do a small shop and walk back to the garage and I'm on my knees, but I did it :T
L - jacket with 1/2 tray - about 10 - prawns, teasp low fat Flora, teasp low fat mayo and a couple of teasp fat free yogurt. I find if I mix a little mayo with yogurt it tastes just as nice and is hopefully lower in everything
Snacks - plum, apple, 2 satsumas
D - to be decided, prob a salad of some sort, sugar free stewed rhubarb with 1/2 vanilla Muller

Made it! Went to the gym, did a good work out (no skimping) feel very pleased with myself. I hate the heart pounding, lung busting sweattyness but love the endophines after and the improvement in how I feel generaly, muscles relaxed, joints back in line, odd aches and pains banished.
Sardine sandwich on HM wholemeal with added mixed seeds with cucumber, pear and an orange for lunch.

Not sure about dinner, there is some ribolita left so in the true OS manner I think I will eat it with some cheese melted on top (not too much!)

Well done Sparrer for the walk, pat yourself on the back

Well done Sparrer on the walk and Lazy Liz on going to the gym! Keep it up!

Have made a batch of soup for lunches and I'm doing salmon (never eaten it before) with new potatoes and veg for dinner.

Looking forward to my next run tomorrow, I actually miss it on the off days... those endorphines sure are good!

I weighed yesterday and have lost another 2lbs so that's 3lbs in 2 weeks. Gotta keep it up!

Morning all.

My plan for yesterday didn't exactly go to plan either (does that make sense? :huh:) - my hummus salad was so filling I didn't need my afternoon fruit snack, and I was so tired by the time I got home that very little of the cleaning got done - tbh it was a struggle even to find the energy to cook dinner.

Hopefully today will be better:

B - porridge with fresh raspberries and vanilla seeds (not a great success - I ended up with pink porridge soup )
S - peach
L - hummus with six mini seeded crispbreads, radishes and cherry toms to dip in it
S - bunch of grapes
D - HM prawn and veg curry with brown rice

Exercise - I'll go for a walk at lunchtime and I really will do the cleaning tonight - my DM's visiting on Thursday so I must get the flat clean by then! :eek:

I fell over my own feet this morning and landed on my swivel chair, breaking off one of the plastic wheeled legs on the bottom. So I'm now gingerly clinging for grim death onto a chair that's casually draped with a large towelling dressing gown (I work at home, obviously!) to disguise the fact that it's being held up by 'Fifty Years Of Coronation Street' until I can get round to replacing it. The chair that is, not the paperback. I'm already getting the distinct feeling that this form of exercise is going to be very good for the thighs. *Sigh...
