  • Angry Bear we have a charity day on Monday in work and I am dreading it as there will be sweets and cakes everywhere. I will need to wear a muzzle :p.

    My diet day has been a bit strange but I am doing my best. Been at the hospital all day with DS as he was getting a small op on his ears so was hard to stick to it.

    B/Fast 6am- 2 boiled eggs
    11am- roll with salad and a banana
    2.30pm- roll and sausage with onions :o
    Dinner- leftover cauli and cheese. Cold chicken
    Snacks - Apple, Grapes, chipsticks and fudge

    Could have been worse. Sclaes definitely going down so far though but will wait until Monday and report a full week's loss. Keep going folks :D

    Wow this thread has really taken off :-).

    I'm afraid I've not really been on board as I should but I did start running this week.....have done two runs so far which is quite an achievement for me! My plan is to do a healthy shop this weekend and start from there. Am going back to Body Combat on a Monday and run 3 times a week (have roped my friend in to be my running buddy).

    Will make time this weekend to read through all of this thread to catch up with everyone :-)

  • Oh dear. Just had buttered crumpets for breakfast. But it is the weekend! Hubby has also bought cake despite me keep telling him not to. Think I need to up the exercise as doing rubbish at lowering the food intake!

    I've been doing 30 day shred for 15 days (but only done it 11 times). After a week I'd put on 1lb and inches (weird!) but this week I've lost just over 1.5lb (about 3/4 of a lb from when I started) and lost half an inch off my legs and stomach! Here's the weird thing. Since I started a fortnight ago I've gained an inch on my bust! Do we think this might just be a hormonal thing?!

    Huh, so in spite of your name - you're a gal! :rotfl:

    I'd guess possible hormonal or possibly the muscle building up underneath fat. I started exercising a couple of months ago and had a really slow start. I think because I went from 0 - lots I spent some time building up muscle before losing anything in the way of fat, but now I'm really feeling/seeing the difference.

    Today:
    Breakfast: Tea :o (I know, but I never feel like eating first thing)
    Lunch: KFC (just going now, have no food in the house and have to eat before I go to supermarket or I'll buy goodies for the house)
    Dinner: Planning HM spicy meatballs with past and garlic bread (usually comes in about 900 cals)
    Snacks: None yet

    Exercise:
    30 mins wii step
    30 mins wii jogging
    30 day shred

  • Evening all. Looks like we are all doing okay and if I manage to keep going then I should have a good result on Monday morning. I'm actually looking forward to seeinghow I get on. So today I have had

    B/Fast- Nowt :o
    Lunch- Roll and bacon ( no butter)
    Dinner- Braised steak, mash, turnip, carrots, onions and mushrooms and a small piece of pastry.
    I'll have a pkt crisps and a fudge later. I also have sugar free mixed fruit hard sweets and have had about 3 of them. All in all I am very happy witht hat.

    No exercise done but I do a cleaning job on a Saturday morning so I spent 2.5 hours constantly cleaning and I reckon that must burn off a few cals. I've got a lovely big chicken for dinner tomorrow so that'll be yummy as well and I am going to make a big pot of soup to do me all week. That'll be frugal as well as tasty :D
