Lose weight 29

Hi all :wave:

Still working on my computer as I keep finding things that don't work or have disappeared, but it's beginning to feel like it used to.

LOL @ Eric re the bra fitting offer!:rotfl:

Vix - no tape measure? - how do you know what size to start with, an educated guess?

Beanie - thanks for your PM, I don't mind answering it in public - OH and I have just been offered jobs as Caravan Site Wardens and we'll be in Hoddom, near Lockerbie until the end of September.

Back tomorrow with our weigh in results - I'm a bit nervous about stepping on the scales so I'm psyching myself up for it in the morning...

Bye for now

any lean meat is ideal, ie all the fat removed (skin removed on chicken), even steak is pretty low calorie if its lean.

i try to mix it up so that i get 2 of these 3 every day, fish, red meat, chicken

and then on the next day have 2 one of which being the missing one so

day 1 lunch fish, dinner red meat

day 2 lunch chicken, dinner red meat

day 3 lunch chicken, dinner fish

like that

(i also take a protein supplement in the morning but I am trying to put on 20-30lbs of muscle over the next couple of years with heavy resistance training and it is very noticeably working )

red meat is very important especially for those working out for the iron and myoglobin so i would make sure on strength training days i eat red meat, fish gives you omega 3 which is also important

I would go with what ever gives you good value and you enjoy, if you are near the coast and have cheap seafood then squid and shell fish are also ideal.

What you are aiming to do is to make sure there is some protein in the system most of the time or at least a good part of the time, it helps reduce hunger, it helps repair and injured muscle from training, it helps grow muscle from resistance training, it can give you essential nutrients and there is also some research showing that it reduces the risk of weight loss coming from internal muscle rather than fat.

Turned a wee bit cooler here today, but it was soooooooooooo great to go to work with my shorts on!!!!

Aqua aerobics tonight, still think i've gained again this week, but never mind, time will tell.

Shan't be WI this week as I have an early o'clock start again tomorrow - on the train for oop north at 6am! (looks like I need to change my WI day...) and I think I've gained this week since I enjoyed more than my share of chocolate and hot cross buns over the weekend, coming hot on the heels of a long business trip on Friday. And in spite of doing lots of gardening on Saturday (my garden looks fab now - exactly how I pictured it when we first started stripping it down years ago!).

What can I do about all this travelling? Station and airport caffs have very little that I can eat if I'm to stick to my no-fats-and-carbs-in-the-same-meal eating plan, or even just keeping away from processed food? I can stuff my laptop case with fruit and carry water with me biut sometimes I need something a bit more substantial, ya know?

Not trying to be harsh here but being hungry when you havn't eaten in 4 hours sounds pretty normal to me! Do you think maybe you should increase the amount of food you are eating just a little bit?

i get to thinking about food, always at that time past lunch--it was 4,30 where i am but it has passed without a morcel--i will eat after i have finished teaching for the day--i teach better when i am hungry!!---its a habit here for people to eat here between 7,30 and 9 which doesnt help the cause!
