Yesterday was a fasting day for me. Nothing but water. The heat made me nauseous anyway so it wasn't difficult and now I feel ready to get back on track. Yesterday's exercise was 1.5 miles at 5mph and 1.5 miles at 4.5mph, and a 30 minute low intensity training program with hand weights for range of motion exercises.
I'm going to log as I go today to try to increase accountability/tracking - it is easier to "cheat" if you don't have the numbers right in front of you so new rule: no meals until after I have looked and logged- so I will be editing this throughout the day.
B- 1 whole wheat deli flat with 2 egg whites, 1/2 cup skim milk with 1tbl ovaltine (200)
E- 1/2 hr medium intensity workout plus 1/2 hr low intensity workout
L- GNC lean shake with 1/2 cup blueberries (220)
S- GNC lean shake (180)
D- chicken sandwich on 1 slice whole wheat with lite swiss, spinach and tomato. 2tbls hummus with 1 serving whole grain pita chips and 1 cup skim milk with ovaltine (600)
E- 30min on treadmill speeds varying from 3-4mph and incline up to 10% plus handweight lifting (10lbs) curls, pec decs, shoulder presses, tricep extensions. (too hot to get my cycling in and couldn't get to the pool so this was my sub)
Mini meal-Coco pops bar, Yoghurt, porridge-300 cals
Lunch/Dinner-Pasta with peppers-700 cals
Had some sauteed mushrooms my mam made
Had 1 or 2 bites of a ready meal that was left over
Had 2 pieces of chewing gum
Had around 2 litres of diet drink today
Had 1 apple
Had a bit of a bar
1500 cals ish
Yeah-that is a lot, but i did really well. I only realised that every Wed without fail for the past three months i have managed to ruin my diet. Whether it be by picking at loads of food or just feeling like i should.
So today may not have great but it was a non scale victory for me!
I also cycled for an hour and half, did intensive work and had around three hours karate
B-ww protein smoothie mixed with milk and a bit of coffee. Bowl of cherries and blueberries and some v8 juice. (544)
L-all bran complete cereal, milk and blueberries (246)
D-Wegmans' 7Inch whole wheat ham wrap (520)
So far: 1310. I need a bit more fat according to calorie count, so I will probably end up having some chocolate LOL. So I'll end out around 1450cals.
Hoping to salvage a good day after a bad night's sleep!
B- 1 serving greek yogurt with fresh blueberries (200)
L- gnc lean shake with banana (300)
E- 1 hour on treadmill varying speeds and inclines
S- 1 serving whole grain pita chips and 1tbl hummus (175)
D- cobb salad and glass of chocolate malt ovaltine (625)
1300 calories
It simply must be said- that salad was the most satisfying thing I have eaten in a long time. Even better than my pizza splurge last week! 1 box organic baby romaine mix (25 calories) 4oz Boar's Head "Ever Roast" chicken (100 calories) 1 oz light swiss (50 calories) 2 oz diced avocado (100 calories) 1 diced hardboiled egg (70 calories) 2tbls chunky blue cheese dressing (160 calories) A huge amount of food for the calorie count but not overly filling. Great on such a hot day. Highly recommended!
Time for a lower calorie day ( i am essentially sitting around doing nothing today)
Breakfast=Porridge with milk, some cereal, sweetener-100 ish
Porridge with water, sweetener -100ish
Protein shake with a bit of milk sweetener-100ish
1 Apple(should count this but dont)
1 cup of extra large tea-100 cals
One innocent fruit and veg pot-213 calories
One protein shake with just water-99 calories
I had 2 x 500mls diet cherry coke
2 pieces of spearmint chewing gum
So today i am over my initial target of 500 calories, which was probably too low anyway.
Today was better than yesterday in terms of veg and carbs. I have more protein today and i managed to have a protein shake and a porridge with only water. It is my end goal to get down to have porridge and my protein shake with only water. Its a self destructive thing as to why i just don't put only water there.
Today i realised that porridge tastes nicer and is more satisfying with only water.
Oh and i had a bit of a non scale victory today! Last week i was out with my father and since he was paying i indulged and got whatever i felt like from the cafe menu (in this case a fruit scone with jam and butter). Today despite the fact my mam was paying i just stuck to my tea, so a mini victory!!
I am however dreading the weekend! Its a friends birthday tomorrow and her boyfriend is cooking a meal for all of us. I have managed to get out of said meal because "I'm a vegetarian and don't want them to go over a fuss for me". In reality i didn't want to go off track, i also don't want to drink for the next two weeks until i get in better control.
Dreading Saturday because i have a date and we were meant to go for drinks and Sunday its the cinema, uuugh!!
Today's going to be a little tough because Im going out to dinner to a great steakhouse, and honestly, im not going to alter the way i would normally eat there (steak, eat some of the shared sides, wine, maybe some bread) so im trying to keep my cals down for the rest of the day and save close to 1100 cals for tonight!! i will portion control tonight and wont just stuff myself
Another scorcher so my plans for a long run are shot.
B- oatmeal with PB and apple (275)
E- 1/2 hr medium intensity and 1/2 hr low intensity workout plus upper body workout and ab work
L- roast beef and avocado on whole wheat and strawberries (350)
E- 1/2 hr of intervals on treadmill (was bored and it seemed like a good idea at the time)
S- banana with PB and skim milk with ovaltine (320)
D- egg white, spinach, tomato and light swiss omelet. (200)
S- 1 serving whole grain pita chips and 2tbls hummus (230)
total for the day = 1375 (still under target but with the heat I am finding it difficult to eat and not feel nauseous)
So a rather good day today, compared to last week. Last week i was having museli for breakfast and believe it or not, it is surprisingly calorific!
I am a night eater, i can't help it so rather than fight it i just have my breakfast at 5 am or whenever i wake up. Tbh i kinda like waking up that early as i get to enjoy my breakfast in peace with no one around .
Anyho food for today:
Breakfast
Porridge with milk and sweetener
Porridge with just water and sweetener
Protein shake with milk (300 ish), so i got to be honest with myself and admit that the milk is pushing my calories over but i can't seem to stop it. Porridge is such a comfort food and its not the worst food i could be eating since i always measure my portion and make it up with mostly water. I think i prefer it without milk. Happy that i have gotten into the hard habit of a protein shake with breakfast.
Lunch=Innocent Veggie pot-300 calories -3 of my 5 a day, great!
1 apple
2 cans of pepsi max
Dinner= 1 protein shake-250 calories
1 innocent smoothie (2 of my five a day!)-115 cals -total 365 cals
So i got to 1000 cals and i did 75 mins in the gym which im happy with.
This week has easily been my best week for my diet probably this side of feburary . Im happy. I will however be facing a challenge tonight of my friends dinner party. I have decided to pretty much give up drink for the next while until i can get my weight down. The reason is when ever im drunk i think its the best idea to eat a lot of chocolate so until i can get this urge down i just wont drink. This will take a lot of will power. I have also decided on a set of goals for myself.
The first being to get down to 11stone (70kg)
Then 10 1/2 stone
10 stone
9stone 10lbs
and finally 9 and 1/2 stone my ultimate goal!
Picked at 3 bars, i pick to stop myself from binging, im trying to however cut down on the amount i pick,
So back from the meal last night, i did eat a little!
Had some mashed potatoes, some of the gravy, 2 qourn chicken things, had the vegetables, had some of the dessert. I ate 2 chocolates.
So i didn't eat nothing but i didnt go mad either. I stuck to my guns and didn't eat. It was a nice night and i enjoyed myself. The plan today is to just restrict.
This morning i had
Breakfast
2 chocolate digestives-170 calories
1 bowl of porridge (oats, ) with a little milk and sweetener
Since today will be a day of very little activity i think i will just have water and some veggies if i feel hungry.
So i have my date tonight so hopefully i can stick to my diet now!
The desserts were nice, i had some but not all of the dessert offered. Good night and by restricting today i should be able to compensate for what i ate last night.
I do plan to be up to 1,200 tomorrow since i will be going to the gym and doing my hour workout. On the bright side i got into my size 8 shorts without having to open the button. A month ago i could barley get into a size 10
