You know, I would love to be like that - to be able to eat whatever I want and not worry as I'd just burn it off later. My problem is that I really struggle to get into an exercise routine, and I just don't enjoy it enough to actually want to do it - it's more like a chore!1/2 hour paiting~Hope that can count?

Friday was a pain, knew I was going to have an Indian take away so I reduced my breakfast and lunch calories so I could feel a little less guilty, then at 4:30pm work suddenly realise they have a big system problem and I spend the next 5 hours fixing... no take away for meonly eat 1250 calories, ah well cloud, silver lining etc.

If you follow a programme, you'd want to see it through to the end. For instance the Insanity workout I do is for 60 days and once I start summat ......... :rotfl:Tomorrow is the last day :j
I will then start TurboFire after this. It's 90 days programme which should take me to almost Christmas :eek:SECRET TO WINNING PRIZES:

We've just got back, left after breakfast yesterday to drive down to Burbage, Wiltshire, to attend an event called the Great Englisc Folcmoot (that's Old English, or Anglo-Saxon). Just a lovely day out with all kinds of things going on in a field, with like-minded people.
Anyway, what to eat? And as it turned out, I'm feeling very proud of myself. In earlier times, when calorie-counting and food-diary-keeping, I would very likely have 'blown it'.
We stopped on the way down at a motorway services, went into Waitrose there, bought a 3-decker sandwich and a box of cherry tomatoes. I can eat those like sweets! It was my protein and veg day, so I took the meat out of the 3 sandwiches and gave the bread to the crows and starlings. We stayed at the DaysInn at Membury Services and what could I eat in the evening? Well, a bowl of tomato and basil soup was good, a pre-packed Caesar salad was basically rubbish, and expensive rubbish at that! I only ate some of it.
Fortunately I had thought to make some carrot and coriander soup and we put it into a wide-necked thermos. I was hungry at night, so we had that, plus a Yoplait coconut yogurt.
Today was protein only. I thought it would be big problems, but I was determined not to slip. We found a van in a lay-by serving full English, and he didn't bat an eyelid when I asked for bacon, egg and no bread. We bought burgers in the field where the event was held - I ate the nice tasty meat and gave the bread to the birds. I sidestepped attempts from friends to buy me a drink, and stuck to diet coke. We'd also taken hard-boiled eggs with us so we had those in the afternoon plus another of the little yogurts.
So, I got through the day sticking rigidly to the plan, and it was surprisingly easy. In earlier attempts I wouldn't have. I don't know what makes the difference. Maybe it's because this really is 'last chance saloon' for me.
Exercise - well, walking around a field is quite tiring when you're not used to walking on grass and uneven ground.

40 mins to add today, walked round town for a little bit before i met my mum from work
Bad news is that for dinner we had burger and chips(i swapped the burger for chicken) and cos we are staying at my mums tonight, i didnt really have much choice as she doesnt really have alot of healthy stuff in.
Will be doing lots of walking tomorrow and a bit of time on the wii when we get home.PAD Maker0 -
