Weight Loss the Old Style Way! Part 8. Please read posts 1 and 2 before posting.

Packing for my holiday - time to see if I can still fit into my clothes after eating British for a whole 6 days :rotfl:

Pain of a Dr though; over about 4 months I've been passed between 3 specialists, with 3 different diagnoses, and 3 lots of tests all coming back clear, and I'm constantly told 'there is nothing wrong'. Typically, just before I go off, today they've decided there is something wrong. I've been given antibiotics which will upset my stomach, leave me really tired and also mean I can't drink for 9 days. Did I mention it's my birthday this week? :mad:

Have a good week of weight losses everyone!!

Yay! Looked up the hotel, and it has a gym and swimming pool (plush!) so no excuses to not exercise this week!

Well done WelshWoofer and anyone who has lost weight since I went MIA :o Had a bad weekend last weekend for eating/drinking and have only just summoned up the courage to come back!

HOWEVER I went to the gym today and weighed myself (still don't have scales!) and I weighed 8st 11, which is 5 pounds less than 2 weeks ago ! I am in utter shock as I have just eaten healthily without dieting and have exercised but no more than normal! When I weighed myself then, it was the first time that I'd had an overweight BMI (although my weight has been creeping up for a couple of years) and I felt so rubbish. Feel really relieved that I'm 'normal weight' again.

That said, it's really increased my motivation to lose the last 7-10 that I'd like which will hopefully get me down a dress size to where I was 3 years ago, and I also really want to generally tone up and improve my upper body and core strength.

B - Two a*da wheat bisks with whole milk and a tsp of sugar
S - Apple
L - Leftover HM vegetable lasagne with a side salad (just leaves dressed in a little olive oil and vinegar)
D - plan is to have tomato and pepper pasta with olives and pine nuts, plus a side salad. Hopefully avoid any more snacks but there is some chocolate in which is calling to me

E - very good day today. Had a major workout at the gym - 15 mins stair machine, 15 mins bike, 10 mins rowing machine. Also tried out the resistance/weight machines for the first time and did two of the arms ones, a shoulder one and a leg one (don't know the names ) for 12 reps each at admittedly low weights (just to get used to them) plus 50 sit ups, a very measly 5 press ups as I am rubbish at them, and then 24 lengths in the pool. Tired now :rotfl:

Evening All

I'm just back from work and thought I'd post whilst my meal cooks. It was all prepared yesterday and I just had to put it in the oven for 20 minutes when I got in. I could have microwaved it but thought I'd cook it conventionally.

I was really efficient this morning before work (didn't start till 11.30). I called in at the Co-Op on my way home after my run and found a load of cream reduced to 50p a pot. I bought a load and made a lb of butter when I got in, which I could then use in my sandwiches. I've another lot to make tonight and I also used some for my HM chocolate mousse.

B: Muesli with extra seeds and buttermillk.
L: Chicken roll. Raspberries with yoghurt
Vegetable gratin - green beans and courgettes from the garden cooked with squashy tomatoes, left over carrot, garlic and onions and topped with cheese. HM chocolate mousse.
Snack: HM ginger biscuit with my coffee.

Exercise: 4 mile run. 2.5 miles of walking.

It's my birthday this week too! I'm so lucky as I've been given a ticket to go to the paralympic wheelchair tennis! I'm going with my very healthy best friend so I know I won't be tempted by "bad" food choices!

RW, making your own butter? Wow!

b- 2 w'bix skim milk oj
l- 4 cripsbread + LF philly, LF greek yog, apple

Evening all!
Back to work today, but it was an INSET so not too painful, took a packed lunch and so managed to stick to the diet apart from a shortbread biscuit that has been counted into my cals.

Just had a nice salad for tea, it helps that its a good warm day.
Haven't done any running or swimming today, giving the old legs a break but I have done a 30 min stroll/walk in the park with the dog after school and a brisk 30 min walk after tea - dog should be tired now!

On the back of my run yesterday I have signed up for the Manchester 10K run next year. Its 2 months after the Cardiff one I'm doing for charity so will be an incentive to carry on and maybe run a better time - get me the runner! (well more of a jogger/trotter really!)

The struggle this week will be sticking to the diet now I'm back at work and making myself exercise after a long day at work. But there's only 3 lbs to go to my target of 20lbs so I can't give up now, if you see me wavering give me a great big kick up the bum.;)
