Wedding Diet Thread....

Morning ladies. Just weighed myself and I've lost a total of 1lb this week. Not brilliant but I am on track. Yay.

Was planning to use home weights and work my arms again but my shoulder was really hurting last night. It seems ok now though.

Johanna, a comment on the diet, today should be an additional s day, not instead of. Enjoy your night out. Sounds awesome. if you're after cardio a great exercise that doesn't involve your knees is punching. get into a squat so your weight is on your thighs and punch the air.

Hope everyone is enjoying their Friday.

ah codemonkey how is your day off going? :0)

Thats a great idea regarding exercise without using knees. :0)

horrible weather again today. :0( missing lunch gym to go to the shops as have the urge to shop and then will try zumba later after work! first time try!! yay :0)

Good luck with the zumba. You'll like it I think. Its not about being technically perfect with the steps, but just putting enthusiasm into it. I'm always sweaty after.

Rups32

sonds cool. i always think if i sweat, then i have worked! haha.. i will try it as it has been in the gym for a while but at 530 and that puts me off as i either want to rush home, or to the pub!

Just found out that a big glass of red wine contains 170 calories! sigh. I had one last night. :0( I still managed to drink that and then managed to have a total of around 1600 cals all day. I think it may be ok? (am trying to convince myself here). :0)

You need aorund 2000 calories to maintain your weight (this varies a bit on your height, weight and metabolism rate), 1600 calories is less than this, so you're ok. Bear in mind your exercise would burn off some too.

I'm being so lazy today.

Rups32

Brilliant. i think i can do the calorie counting thing better than other stuff so might do that :-) was meant to go for step today but just dont have that energy. i started off good at the beginning and now am back to bad.. oh kung fu tomorrow :-)

you shuold relax codemonkey as its your day off

codemonkey

I feel like I should be doing something more productive though :rotfl:

I'm also trying to ignore the yummy bad food in the kitchen. Today is a N day. Today is a N day. Especially after last night's yumminess.

Hi Codemonkey,

Just a though you say you are using weights, are you building your muscels up in doing so? Just wondered as don't forget that muscel weights more than fat, so you may be doing better than you though:D

I've reached my target weight, but struggling to maintain it at the moment, managed to put 1.5 pound on this week & i though i'd been good. We go to Skiathos next Friday for a week & i'm not going to worry about it while we are there but was hoping not to put any on before we go.

Rups32

are you doing good then avoiding the naughty stuff? i def know that the mood i am in affects the way i eat. as its miserable and had a bit or an arguement with OH, i feel ewwww. so went out and got some shortbread biscuits (which i havent opened as they are for home) and i got some snack a jack type crisps from marks, which i have gobbled. now i do fancy those biscuits.. noooooo.
