Well signed up for the circuits class so I went. Instead of the 50 mins it was scheduled for it ran for 75 mins as the "intro" to 2013. Not done circuits for 2 years so but of a rude awakening!
I confidently predict Saturday am I will not be able to move. However feel REALLY good right now!
And didn't succumb to the temptations in the kitchen at work
B banana
L Sussex smokie starter size half slice brown nutty bread
D 2 boiled eggs and a Gu chocolate souffl! (it was going out of date, and far too nice to waste!)
S dozen nuts
Problems: 4 pm munchies I need to crack this, some protein I think
I noticed on the MFA the nuts are quite high fat so don't want to munch much more of them.
Quite happy to eat cornflakes or porridge (I like it with water but mostly as milk does me no favours so can't remember ever having it another way!) just not sure I can get away with that at work at that time ..... Any thoughts, bearing in mind as senior management in QA!
Don't panic about KFC ? I had a Guuuuu pud, chocolate souffl! none less!Start info Dec11 :eek:

evening all I have come hanging my head in complete shame and feeling very very guilty.... All was going well eating wise up until today. Had the worst day back in work ... Only just finished & had a KFC on the way hope. I could actually cry I'm so annoyed with myself.
Why oh why do I sabotage myself
Any ideas what meals I can do when home later from work than expected and to tired to cook x

So, on the good side, I did go back to Jazzercise tonight (and, boy, was it hard work!)
But on the bad side, half a tin of roses fell into my mouth while I was watching the Shopaholic film (and I fell asleep 15 mins before it finished so i missed the end!)
Thank goodness there's always tomorrow!0 -
b - 2 crumpets with raspberry jam
l - mixed sandwich selection from m&s, cheese and onion crisps, chocolate chip cookie
d - goulash with rice, followed by christmas cake and cheese
I need to do better....Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

My timings might be a bit out for the challenge. I had hoped the diet class I'd wanted to attend was open yesterday but its not on till next Wed so although the challenge starts on the 5th my start weight won't be posted till the 9th.

Just hopped on the scales before, down from 98kg to 90kg. Pretty happy because in that time I've also got more toned and muscly
(Stats: 26 year old male, 5'11)
For those interested in my technique..
1) SNACKS - Swap out chocolate, cake and crisps, fruit juice, fizzy drinks
2) SNACKS - Swap in cottage cheese, tuna, fruit, skim milk
3) Gallon of water a day
4) Instead of chips, salad leaves and brown bread
5) Generally buy "low fat" things.. some things are amazing, e.g. Tesco "Lighter than Light" mayonnaise is only 14calories per teaspoon!
6) 30 mins running/day, 30 min aerobics (bodyweight exercises)
7) Ditch the car and bus, walk/cycle if possible
It's great because I eat LOADS of good stuff.. loads of fruit, loads of veg, loads of cereals, loads of chicken, etc. It doesn't feel like a diet at all, more like a permanent lifestyle change. I could have easily lost more but I decided to limit it because I didn't want to lose too fast.0
