Becky's Diary : This time next year.........................

I've had quite a few days in the last two weeks where I'd lost nothing that day, and had actuallly put on a few days.

February is a nice long way away and I'm sure it will all come right. x
 
Because I am a self 'crowned cook' I don't measure things when I cook and this was my first take at this so you may have to tweak this a little!
1 chicken breast, 1/2 chopped onion, fry light, 1 chicken stock cube dissolved in 1l boiling water, 2 tbsp 0% greek yogurt, 1/2 tub of quark
Fry onion in fry lite but do not let brown.
Add chopped breast and fry until sealed (care not to brown)
Pour in the stock and simmer until liquid is reduced and the chicken is cooked ( you should be able to break the chicken if you press it to the side of the pan with the cooking stick)
Let cool, then blitz until smooth. Add the yogurt and quark (you might try extra light philly, it might make it creamier!) and mix until smooth. (if you know of any 2% cream you can add it in, but I suppose thats dreaming!)
Enjoy!

PS if you store this soup be careful when you warm it, if you boil the yogurt will separate and it will look, well very unappetising!

Thanks- I'll try this this week! X
 
I have treated myself to the turbofire workout pack. Its costing £106 on the beachbody website but I am winning it for £50 on ebay. That's my treat for reaching a stone loss, well nearly! I had to convince myself to do all my exercises reasoning that the fairy might visit on Friday!

Honey I totally hear where you're coming from regards the lack of losses, but with how much you're exercising you will definitely be changing shape if not changing numbers on the scales....

better to measure progress by measuring body parts, waist, arms, thighs etc.... and also if you have the function on your scales, muscle mass and fat percentages.... it gives a whole picture of your progress rather than just weight.

Weight will increase/stagnate when you're toning up - but obviously this is far healthier than to weigh the same and be out of shape

hope this helps honey x

Aw missy, you sound so sad! I'm sorry you didn't lose this week and yep, like the others, I know how demotivating that can be. I have a suspicion that when your start exercising for the first time in a while, it does slightly delay weight loss. There's a bunch of technical stuff out there about how worked muscles retain water to help retain the damage. Can't remember it properly but it sounds like what might have happened. Your exercise regime is getting terrifying! Keep going, keep that chin up and you will soon be loving your weigh in day!

Terrifying?! Have you looked at your exercise stats. You would be surprised that it was your diary that made me up my game! I used to just do my prescribed 30 mins walk but when I saw yours I was like flipping heck all that running and walking, i should be able ti do more and voila my exercise increased! x
 
Yay! So you inspire me with your recipes and I'll do the same back with exercise. We'll be supermodels in no time! ;)
 
LOL at both of youm, I really need to up my exercise, none existant at the moment, apart from housework LOL.

Good for both of you x
 
Yep, come on DF, get out there! I do love my running but I swear, walking everywhere is the thing that makes the difference. Easier for me in London maybe cos often it's quicker than transport so it's time I would be spending anyway. But give it a go, it becomes enjoyable sooner than you might think!
 
hey becks, how is the turbofire going? you're doing so well on the exercise front, please don't worry about stalling for a few days. as lotto said, you'll definitely be losing inches if not pounds.

good luck!

Becky can't reply to you Caro, she's out for a run!
 
I know Joodle, I really do want to do something about it, am going to try and get out a bit with my Daughter and walk to and from the park. Its more fun when you walk with someone.

I haven't started turbofire yet. I am terrified, I am starting shred on Wednesday! That is for 30days so hopefully after that I will be strong enough to do turbofire. Will keep you posted.
 
:party0048: woop woop, the scales have moved eventually! 1.5lbs, not as much as I would have wanted but its better than nothing. The inches are more exciting. I wasn't going to measure until the end so I could go wow, but thought it might cheer me up which it did. My body has slimed down quite a lot, I dont think the scales are doing me any favours.

check out the inches in the signature, the hip is moving but the bossom is nt shifting!

I have started the 30day shred DVD level 1 today. It killed me, coming down the stairs my legs felt heavy and shaky! A lot of cardio in there. The moves are easy but there is no rest so even though I have been exercising I could not cope so had to take little rests in between. Hoping by day 10 I will be doing it continously to move onto level 2. Definitely a good idea to start with this before trying turbofire!!

My friend is visiting for the week so I think I will do PV days all week, then do PPs all next week. I will try to limit veggies to just one meal per day. And hopefully keep up with Shred. My friend loves shopping so definitely lots of walks!
