x xToday had a nice big lunch (within macros) and small tasty dinner, feeling pretty peckish but I think it's still holiday tummy talking. Meal prepped my lunches for this week and most of next week, so that'll save some time. Yesterday went out for dinner with a friend and ate way too much dessert, need to stop using excuses to fall of the wagon.
Today just copied yesterday's meals, been a bit of a rushing-around day so it was nice to not have to think about food prep. Tomorrow a vegetarian friend's coming to stay for a few days, not quite sure what I'll feed her (I don't live in a very vegetarian country!) but we'll work it out.
Today had a late breakfast, same as always, then friend and I went out and had tea and cake for 'lunch'. When we got home that evening I had some rice and tuna, macros out the window today but hopefully not too far over on calories. Had a nice day out with my friend so that's what mattered today.
Yesterday due to miscommunication I had breakfast at 11am and 'lunch' after 5pm. Went out to a vegan restaurant with my friend, not quite to my taste and I've had a headache since then. When I got home that night had some dinner, didn't macro it well at all. Today macros are nearly spot-on so pleased with that.
Was good for homemade breakfast and lunch. Then had tea and cake with my friend, then Burger King. Ended up having to make two pit stops for a toilet on the way home, usually it doesn't disagree with me but my body couldn't take it today. Probably a good thing now that I'm trying to be healthier.
Today was a good day food-wise. Did some shopping for next week's lunches (birthday lunch not included), going to prep those tonight since I need to make one for tomorrow as well. Somehow macros worked out that I was going to undercarb and undercal when meals were done, so having a sneaky sweet to make up the balance. Not sure how it works but won't argue with maths.

Well done Kat for starting again I know how hard it is. I am quite similar weight to you trying to work out how to put the little bar with my weight on so it comes up on my posts.
I was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis over 2 years ago, have two knee replacements and basically had a crap time healthwise. This is when I decided to join Cambridge Diet to give me a break from food and get me motivated to help myself. I had my first weigh in tonight doing sole source and incredibly i lost 1 stone and 1/2 pound

.That'a amazing progress Holly Marie, well done! I hope the weight loss helps out with your health. A student doctor was worried for my health and sent me to the nurse for advice which started my weight loss journey, the friend who's visiting me at the moment who I hadn't seen in a couple of years has a lot of health problems compounded by her weight so that's a new motivation for me.Well done Kat for starting again I know how hard it is.

Today I macro-ed breakfast and lunch, then went out to dinner with my friend since it's her last night in my city before she flies home. I felt full without finishing the main course, which is a nice new thing, although I did have dessert afterwards so not great diet-wise. Tomorrow I'm at home all day which makes weighing out macros easier but temptation a bit harder, especially since I need to study and am always looking for distractions... I think one of my flab rolls is starting to disappear a tiny bit but that might be wishful thinking...
The Thanksgiving meal was lovely and now I never want to eat again... was in good control with the main course, but when dessert came I pigged out. Need to work on this control more. Had a really lovely evening, drank a fair bit of wine so going to down a lot of water now I'm back home!
Having a Sunday at home cleaning/procrastinating, very tempting to snack. And here I wonder just how I managed to gain all this weight! Feeling peckish now so going to have a kiwi, winter's settling in so the vitamin C will definitely be handy. Forgot to buy chicken yesterday and the shops are closed, so had some work-lunch for lunch today. I can meal prep sometime next weekend, was hoping to avoid doing so but it's not an issue.
It has just turned my birthday here! So I weighed myself yesterday so as to not get demotivated on my birthday. My mum's visiting so yesterday evening we ate dinner together and I didn't macro, today I'm indulging myself at lunch (Mum and I are heading to a place we go every year for lunch) and evenings I'm going to be loose on macros while she's here while still trying to not go overboard. If I can stay stable then that's a good thing this week. Here's to a better year health and weightwise!

Following your journey!
Similar diet history (hell) and also macro tracking so might nab some tips and tricks - really struggle with not having anything ‘off limits’
