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

Morning all.

I had a change of plan for dinner again last night (I'm usually better than this at sticking to a meal plan, honest ): I didn't fancy curry so I had lentils with the rest of the HM RF caesar dressing, steamed asparagus and Chinese greens, and six mini falafel. I also had the rest of the garlic bread (removed from the freezer after less than 24 hours ) as my whole day had been so low in calories I thought I could get away with it.

Today goes (and hopefully stays! ):

B - two small slices WM bread with a scraping of peanut butter and mashed banana
S - stewed rhubarb with FF natural yoghurt
L - not sure yet - I haven't bought lunch into work with me so I'll have to buy something. It will probably be an Innocent veg pot or something similar, which aren't very OS but are tasty and pretty healthy.
S - pear
D - halloumi with courgette and tomato sauce, Moroccan carrot salad and two mini WM pitta breads

Exercise - as yesterday (which I didn't post), I'll walk into the city centre at lunchtime: if I go the long way round it's about a 30 minute round trip. I've also started using the stairs at work: as it's only two floors using the lift is quite unforgivably lazy.

Have a pleasant day, all.

Today
B: 2 oatcakes with scraping of spread and yeast extract. Half a dozen walnut pieces. Cup of tea with oat milk.
L: Possibly spaghetti hoops on toast again (does everyone regress when feeling under the weather? lol)
Might make ocean pie as have some tofu to use up.

Exercise: 2x 1 mile walks pushing buggy. Will take it easy though as still not top-notch, but might do some yoga later on depending on how I feel.

Well yesterday I did have the spaghetti hoops on toast - the toast with some avocado rather than spread. Could not face cooking dinner. Luckily DD had made muffin pizza at preschool so I just heated up some baked beans and they had that at teatime. For me and hubby (he wasn't feeling great either), I put out some leftover new potatoes, carrot sticks and mushrooms with some hummus to dunk. I also topped half a pizza base from the freezer with some spread, garlic powder and herbs. Had half of that.

I didn't do any yoga.

Today
B: HM walnut and oat cereal with oat milk. Cup of tea.
L: This is likely to be a 'cheese' and tomato scone with hummus. Coffee. Apple. Edit: not enough ingredients to make scones but forgot have bread buns in. Girls and mother can have hummus in bread buns and I'll have some on rye crispbread.
S: Mother visiting so a cuppa and possibly a rich tea.
A bean veg stew with rice

Exercise: Aiming for at least 15 minutes of yoga and 30 minutes of Wii tennis. When my mother is here, I might try and get away for an hour's solo walk for some fresh air and peace, depending on how she feels about it.

6a.m. C25K plan

Br - beans on toast
Sn - Yog
Lu - cheese omlette, salad
Sn - banana
D - not sure yet

40 mins walking planned

HA! overslept so no 6a.m. C25K plan.
Br - had the beans on toast
Sn - No yog, cos overslept and needed to wash hair and was 'rushing' about and forgot it
Lu - Cheese salad sarnie for lunch instead of omlette (yesterday I thought today was friday).
Sn - Got banana.
D - still don't know

40 mins walking, I don't think so

As Hannibal Smith used to say 'I love it when a plan comes together!'

Ba ba baaaaa, bu bu baaa, bu bu baa ba baaa, ba ba ba ba baaaaa <hums theme tune to self>

Weigh day, and I lost nearly a whole lb this week :rotfl: down to 11.st 1.4lb. At this rate I'll reach target when I'm roughly the same age as Methuselah (work it out) . On the up side, at least it's down, iyswim!

Breakfast - went out of the window cos a) I overslept cos my alarm clock (black and white furry thing which calls himself a dog ) didn't wake me at the usual silly o'clock, and b) a friend rang and we chatted for 45 mins when I'm supposed to getting ready to visit another friend
Lunch - no idea as I'm lunching with said friend and don't know what she's got planned
Dinner - depends on the above, but prob salad of some sort as it needs using up

Good luck todays weighers, keep on leeping on everyone

.....the salad in my cheese sarnie was picked fresh this morning from my own home-grown stash outside the kitchen.

Morning everyone.

Weigh-in, 10st 10lb (STS). Too much cheese at the weekend, plus a celebratory fish and chips early in the week.

Regarding the fish and chips, I meant to take the top half of the batter off, half the chips and prep myself a side salad. Instead I sat me b** down and lazily let OH dish me up the meal, and happily scoffed it. Regarding the cheese, will only have a measured amount in future.

My challenge is to:

1. have no more than 30g of hard cheese in any given day (great for calcium though).

2. Do the 'my fitness coach' on the wi (it is really aerobic) three times a week along side the yoga. Ashamed to say I have had it all along but always opt for the gentler wi fit exercises.

3. make healthier choices when celebrating something, we have a lot of family birthdays at this time of year.

We are off camping for the week, the kids are getting very excited. Will be walking a lot so that will be my exercise next week, along side setting the tent up and down in high winds!

Have a good week everyone, looking forward to catching up when back .

hello :wave: - hope you have room for one more!

i've decided this year is my year and i'll do some things for myself!
for once to loose some of that weight and get fitter!

i've halve started so 5 months ago and slowly changing my diet to healthier eating ... lost 5kg so far!
and i also joined a gym a month ago and go at least 3 times a week - and it's actually quite fun :eek:

just got this aweful cold now (head cold!) and ate lots of rubbish and struggle to stay focused!

had a better day today (after starting breakfast with a muffin :cool: ) i decided i had to get back on track!!!

and reading all your updates encouraged me too :T

bf coffee and muffin
lunch coffee (wasn't hungry at all )
snack 2 satsumas
dinner 2 chicken wraps with lots of salad (normally 3 and normally twice the size!!!)

did my gym yesterday despite feeling rubbish and managed an hour on half steam! - fingers crossed i'll feel ok'ish to go tmrw again!

May2013 Sorry, my post should have read 1200 not 1500 (edited now). You're right though, about averaging it over the week rather than by the day, so I apologise for the lecture

Made it our for the run and hoping for another tonight. Dinner will be shepherds pie with lots of veg.

C25k is fab, I recommend it to anyone, as long as you can already comfortably walk for 30 minutes.

Change of plan (sigh) - nowhere local now sells the veg pots, so I've ended up with a roast beef sandwich and a bottle of orange juice instead. Dinner will now be with brown rice instead of pitta bread as otherwise my day is rather heavy on the bread.

mOZzy - welcome to the thread! :wave:

Eltee - lucky you, having home grown salad! My leaves are still too weeny to eat at the moment - I reckon they'll be ready in about two weeks which, typically, is when I'm going on holiday. At least my friend who looks after my cat while I'm away might enjoy them.
