Another bike ride today - feel exhausted today, think the exercise might be starting to catch up with me. However, even after two weeks of regular exercise I feel more toned - probably all in my head but that's as good as anything

 

[cheekychinchilla]

Muscle tone can start to show pretty quickly! I don't think it's in your head Well done with all the exercise, you're doing so well!
Hope your bum isn't too sore

Played badminton with my OH tonight too for an hour which definitely counted as body magic - I was bright red and sweaty by the end!
I've never played with him before...in fact I haven't played in years, I didn't even know the rules changed completely in 2006! Had a quick refresher google before we set off!
NSV - I won every game

(He does have metal plates in his elbow, but shhhh... )

Hi prawnchopSuey, great diary, well done on your 1lb off last week, have everything crossed that you get your most deserved shiny next week!

 

[cheekychinchilla]

They changed the badminton rules?! Well done on winning

 

[prawnchopSuey]

Thanks Donna, keep everything crossed 'til Monday please

Yep, it used to be first to 15 points won, and you could only get a point when you serve. But now it's first to 21 wins, but you can win the point even if you didn't serve.

Saturday - red day

Brunch - 2 pears, fat free fromage frais and sweetener

Dinner - Beef kofta curry (from Curry feasts cookbook) with wholemeal rice (HexB x 2)
Solero (5 syns)


Total syns: 5

Well, I made an error this evening... had planned to have the curry with rice as Hex, then looked up how much rice I could have and saw that you are not allowed rice on red - oops. I assumed that you would be allowed if you're allowed pasta or bread. Well, I ate some anyway 'cos it was too late to put a potato on and am just going to count it as todays HexBs...

The curry was nice too, got a 'we'll have this again' from the OH so all good

 

[Louise24]

The rice is a bummer isn't it, suppose it doesn't have enough fibre. Same with noodles too :-(

Good luck for tomorrow hun and enjoy the rest of your weekend x

 

[prawnchopSuey]

Thanks Lou, I'm crossing everything for WI!!!

Also, have decided to go for a fishy week this week . Will still be alternating red and green but will try and incorporate fish at least once into every day. Spent just under £80 on a week's shopping for 2 - so it better get results at that price .

Sunday - red

Brunch - bacon on toast (HexB) with ketchup (1 syn)

Dinner - Fish pie (HexA for cheese) with green beans
Solero (5 syns)

Total syns: 6

Had a game of squash this afternoon too
...But have just got rather pee'd off with someone on a thread in here telling someone doing the C25k plan that running such 'short' distances won't be any help to weight loss, especially not if they're walking some of it. Grr. You can't go telling people nonsense like that, that's so demotivating. The whole weight loss equation is about calories out being greater than calories in, and since exercise is more calories out, it HAS to help. Grrr.
Rant over

 

[donnajt]

Hope you enjoyed your game of squash - take no notice of the ignorance of others, any exercise is worthwhile as far as I am concerned, even just thinking about it!

Good luck for WI, sure you'll do fantastic x

 

[Loopeylou]

Good luck with Fishy week....I had one planned but have onlu managed 1 full day so far as fish with a hangover just isn't appealing.
Back on fish tomorrow though lol

GOT MY 1 STONE SHINY!!!

I am rather worryingly pleased with it

After 2 weeks of exercise I don't think it is making any difference to my weight loss - probably a shock to the system! Hopefully after a few more weeks when it becomes 'routine' (eek!) it will gradually help the losses. I have to say though that I have felt more difference in my body and the way my clothes fit in the past two weeks than at any point so far. I have relegated three pairs of work trousers to the unwearable section of the wardrobe, and have resurrected a couple of pairs which hopefully will fit soon...

Right, going to condense my signature as it's getting a bit long now. But I want to keep a record of my weekly weight loss so far so I'll post it here:

Week 1: -3lb *
Week 2: +2lb :cryeasy come easy go??)
Week 3: -2lb
Week 4: STS
Week 5: -2lb *
Week 6: -1.5lb
Week 7: -1.5lb
Week 8: -2lb
Week 9: -1lb *
Week 10: +3lb - holiday
Week 11: -4lb
Week 12: -1lb

Off to bask in my shiny glory

Well done on your new shiny I did 3 mad weeks at the gym before hols and was not losing at all, my personal trainer said it can take several weeks for our bodies to adjust to their new routine so stick with it

It's been peeing down with rain all day and I left work late (must spend too much time on minimins and not enough time working ) so didn't get a bike ride in... Going to put on my Steps DVD in a bit - it's so corny it's brilliant, and just when you think you can't take any more, on comes 5,6,7,8 as a finale

 

[cheekychinchilla]

Trying desperately not to roll my eyes about the Steps DVD.... no, just can't hold it off ...

Super well done on your new shiny!!! So pleased for you
