Becky's Diet Diary

I don't measure but I am in clothes 2 sizes smaller which I'm amazed at.... despite losing so much and being in smaller clothes I'm really struggling to see the changes in me so think that maybe measuring would be a good idea! I'm really annoyed tonight as went to the gym after work and there was a power cut 20 minutes into my run and they evacuated the building! got home and the power was out there too! It only just came back on! I'm going to gave to work extra hard tomorrow as I had chips at lunch which I justified with the fact I was going the gym! At least I am not hungry now as I didn't get my work out so will only have a snack for dinner! my daughter is back tomorrow night so not too bad :) your weekend sounds fun. .. Maybe if your lucky baby will make a surprise visit and you'll get to meet him/her early :) I know what you mean about take aways. .. I'm totally avoiding them at the mo. .. Maybe you could pick a starter instead of a main or just try a little bit of everyone else's instead of ordering something for yourself? If I give in to temptation I have really strict days for a couple of days after to make up for it. ..I.e porridge for breakfast and lunch and no snacks at all... Maybe if you can't resist you could try that? I think the closer to goal you get the harder it gets to be so good. ... I'm sure whichever way you go with it though will be the right decision for you and if you do over indulge you'll soon get back on track x

Wow two dress sizes is great :) it should help you if you can physically see a number going down :)

What a frustrating evening for you, am sure you will make it up tomorrow x

Aww that's nice you get some of the time this weekend with her x

I think he will be here early as she has been having braxton hicks for two days and her bump goes low in the evenings :)

I think I will just stick to a small portion if we do have a take away to try and limit the damage x
 
day 87

work at 5am but left at 8 so not so bad.

deffo made up for the power cut at the gym yesterday. .. did 60 minutes on the treadmill and 60 minutes on the bike :-D . ..I now have jelly legs and bliters on my little toes :-( can't go again till Tuesday so plenty of time to recover ... out for dinner later for a friend's birthday... I've definitely earned a treat I think ;-)

breakfast : porridge
lunch : sausages and root vegetable mash and a fruit salad
snack: rice and veg. ... Was trying to save myself for later but stomach was growling and felt really feint. ... Still in minus figures for calories atm after my epic gym session :)
dinner : went to the harvester. .. Had salad, and grilled chicken breast with a jacket potato. .... The healthiest choice I could have. ... It was lovely :)

having a light Horlicks later to help me sleep :)

I've eaten back about half of the calories I burned at the gym which I'm pleased with as I've had a nice meal out, horlicks and still below target calories for the day :-D

I plan on having 5 days off where I'm not going to worry about it as I'm out Christmas eve and then a take away is tradition, Christmas day off obviously then I'm taking my daughter to London for 3 days for her Christmas present which will be really fun but will involve eating out plus a full breakfast at the hotel! .. I'm going to switch mfp to maintain for those days and hope for the best. ... I figure if I gain over the 2 weeks I should be able to lose it quickly.

:)

Day 92

Another 2.6lbs off this morning so I am now 15% lighter than I was 3 months ago :D I want to lose another 7lbs for Christmas which based on this should be very achievable. I am also into 'overweight' on the BMI scale instead of Obese so another milestone hit.

breakfast : porridge
Snack: Mini malt loaf
Lunch: Spiced chicken and mango salad and a fruit salad
Dinner: Chinese snacks
