Getting fitter and trimmer

Fmess

Welcome picklekin. I too am a shorty (5'0")

Today I have walked the dogs and cleaned the kitchen, except the floor. Next is the lawn, then the kitchen floor, so both should add a few more steps to my total. Tonight I have booked on for a body combat class.

Food so far has been;
Breakfast - cereal and toast
Lunch - chorizo, cheddar and pepper wrap, then apple

Tonight dinner will be chorizo, onion and pepper pizza with minimal cheese.

I just need to wait until Friday until I can go food shopping for some healthier food, although I may be able to get a bag of salad tomorrow to tide me over.

I've discovered I definitely eat more when I'm not busy. Today I've cleaned and scrubbed the kitchen but as soon as I stopped, I was searching for food. I have therefore occupied myself this afternoon by painting half the kitchen Need to have an early tea and the do class, so will save the other half of the kitchen painting until tomorrow. Might actually get a lot of DIY done this summer

Also done 11000+ steps so far with the early morning dog walks and chores.

I maintained my weight this week, which is amazing considering if it's been edible over the last week then I ate it, gotta be quite strict with myself this week as I wont get away with it again, back to circuits this week I find HITT classes really dull my appetite, cardio see's me starving an hour after, it's been quite meh day food wise

Bfast coffee (early start)
Lunch fruit, 3 slices of Swiss cheese and 2 kids cartons of milk
Tea Very very large salad, wedges and veg burger (no roll) and egg.

Hit the salad veg heavy today have a love/hate relationship with my mandolin slicer, a great piece of kit but it's the second time i've managed to slice a finger on the thing. think I will have soup tomorrow it's safer.

Abs blast and body pump tonight. Have been very snacky for about a week now, work hectic and still kept at just a few hundred under maintenance levels but need to clear that last 1/2 stone...

picklekin

I blame body pump for my injured tendon heh heh! (Not to mention the fact I could barely use my legs for 3 days after!). Will try it again though once I'm healed

Muesli for breakfast
Ham and avocado bagel for lunch
Broccoli walnut and blue cheese pasta for dindins.

Trying to get out of the habit of snacking so brought an apple to work.

Today is going to be a good day...no matter what

HITT classes don't get any easier but thankfully the recovery gets quicker Picklekin even after 6 months 3Xweek my body still lets me know it's a bit cheesed off about a workout

Food today.
Bfast Banana and tea
Lunch egg& new potatoes & green salad
Tea HM tomato soup, and cauliflower crust sticks.

Snacks fruit.

exercise circuit training & swimming (30 lengths) I plan to go drowning with style every evening and add 5 lengths extra each time. I will have a good week if it kills me

Have a great day everyone.

Fighting talk tori - well done on maintaining, are you at Slimming World?

Fmess - I eat through boredom too, if I go out mid morning for a walk I don't have the urge to have a second coffee and some biscuits, obviously if I am working I have to fight the urge.

Yesterday I went for a run in the afternoon, it was quite hot at the time and I was exhausted, when I got back I managed 900 skips. After tea me and DH went cycling, it was only 5 miles but they were 5 very fast miles. My legs knew about it though from the hill we did on Sunday.

Today I am taking the kids for a 5.5 mile walk with the dog around a NT site, there are different routes and the one we do is quite hard going in places but we have done it many times and they manage it. After tea me and DH will cycle again and will do a harder 8 mile route.

Today I will mostly be eating

B/Fast - sachet of porridge with soya milk, slice of soreen toasty with flora.

Lunch - 4 slices milk roll with cheese, banana, chocolate biscuit (packed lunch whilst out)

Tea - Egg salad with wedges.

Morning all,

Today will follow a similar routine to yesterday as it seemed to work. I've already walked the dogs then will spend the day cleaning and tidying and in the garden with the dogs. Tonight will be a body combat class.

Food will be:-
Breakfast - large bowl of cereal
Lunch - cheese and tomato chutney sandwich, plus fruit
Dinner - bolognese mince and veg

Looking forward to doing a proper food shop on payday and getting a stock of fruit and veg in.

Im am Dolly but to my shame i've never been very good at it but their plan has been the easiest for DH to maintain as I slowly moved him off processed food and back to clean eating, Food has always been a bone of contention between us, for every healthy meal I cooked alongside would be piles of beige junk, His Mother bless was health food nut, and had a blanket ban of salt, sugar and sweets when he was old enough he over indulged every chance he had and ended up with a really unhealthy relationship with food, it's taken him 20 years to finally address this issue.

People may laugh it off but his food issues have been just as detrimental as a alcohol or any other addiction.we are lucky we have a great group of people in our small village group I think that's the key to success with SW or any diet based group it's not so much the diet but the support, im at target and DH has 3LBS to go but we will stay with group even after he reaches target (it's cost us nothing), as it's been proven those that maintain the support are more likely to keep the weight off long term.

Oh and it's very much fighting talk if I put on next week I will be owing the consultant a £5...and that not happening :rotfl:
