hi girls!!

gah ! i'm back at 168lbs!! i realised whenever i reach 166/167 pounds, i start to self self sabotage myself, and end up over eating. i was looking through my weight diary, and the times i've gone below 168lbs, i start to over eat!

so now that i've recognised my pattern, going to be more alert! and STOP over eating, everytime i go down from 168lbs!

you're right Cape and good for you, having a light dinner.

good job hydra!

i hear ya sunni!!

i love pancakes with maple syrup!

i know sunni. im so worried about either NOT losing any weight for weekly weigh ins, or worse still gaining!!

have a great time in vegas! we will miss you!!

awesome on losing weight! and congratulations on getting to the 150s!! yeh!!

haha sunni i totally know what you mean. i cant believe it doesnt say anything when you reach goal, how dissapointing!! lol

my confession:

bike (ii) = level 10. 11 minutes, 0.27 miles (30 calories)
(total = 0.54 miles, 23 minutes, 60 calories)

the bike's display thingy is busted! so i attached my pedometer to my knee to get a rough idea of what i'm doing, the miles obviously isnt accurate but gives me some sort of measurement to improve on and check my progress hehe

food wise:
breakfast - water with benefiber.

Lunch - 1/2 cup of fruit and fiber cereal with semi skimmed milk. 1 slice of mild cheddar cheese. 2 mini crackers with cheddar cheese and branston pickle: eating time - 15minutes, i stopped when i was satisfied/full.

dinner - 1/2 cup of vegetable rice (peas, sweetcorn), 1/4 cup of sheshlik chicken, salad (purple cabbage, carrots, red onion) 1/2 roti, 2 serving spoons (~4 tbs) of brown lentil soup. - 22 minutes. stopped when full. (when i sighed basically).
peppermint tea

dinner II - 1/2 cup of vegetable rice (peas, sweetcorn), some salad (purple cabbage), 1 tablespoon of sheshlik sauce, 2 tablespoon low fat yoghurt. - 12 minutes
after dinner snack - 1 packet of discos BBQ flavour crisps (28g, 146 calories)

Last night was my birthday dinner (Chinese) after 3 weeks on being on-plan It was nice. A small serving each of bbq pork, hot & sour soup, fried squid, etc. with a diet coke and a small blizzard after. Next treat meal isn't scheduled until Christmas. Long road! I also did a 2 hour hike prior to dinner.

Exercise: 1 hour Olympic weights.

Today
Breakfast:
1 slice ww toast, 1 tsp margarine, 1 cup skim cottage cheese (microwave broke, I normally nuke egg whites)

Lunch:
Protein shake (vanilla protein powder, 1 cup ice water, 1/2 cup blueberries, 1 tsp flax oil)

Dinner:
Will be a mango & shrimp dinner with veggies. Low on the calories today despite strength training (1 hour Olympic lifting) because I ate a lot last night (well, not "a lot", but more than average).
