Becky's Diet Diary

[blubex]

The gym I go to in Spain is just the same - my friend emailed me today and was having a right rant about it. We can only have 12 in Pilates class and when she got there at her usual time there was a queue outside the door and she could not get in and was not happy (I would not have been) as she goes every week all year and in summer they struggle to fill the class but she is always there. "They can stuff their pilates class" she said today but no doubt she will kick up a fuss if she does not get in on Thursday.

Just off to Aqua for 45 mins - got OH to fetch me back as I don't want to walk back in the cold after being in the pool.

it's a total nightmare. ... Anyone that went before Christmas should get priority over the new ones! I'm hoping it'll die down over the next few weeks as I want to start weight training but not when I'm having to queue for machines!

I want to do a couple of classes too but will hold off till it calms down a bit!

Think it happens after every New Year - there were more at my exercise class yesterday morning but she has been advertising quite heavily as she used to be with Rosemary Conley and since she went bust lots of them have gone out on their own and trying to make themselves a business.
We had a new teacher just for last night and she obviously did not know the class was 45 mins and kept on for the hour - I was ok but some of them just left the pool after 45 mins with this woman wondering what was happening.

Day 3

0.4lbs off this week - although it's not a lot I am pleased as I was expecting a gain after three meals out and being totally off plan for a couple of days, I have lost every week since I started so would have been gutted with a gain!!!

Started work at 6 this morning and I always seem to be really hungry in the mornings when I do earlies!!
Breakfast: belvita breakfast biscuits and porridge
snack : jelly beans :O ... The massive head rush I've just had probably means that these were a bad idea! !! :'(
lunch: steak and veg soup
dinner : cheese and biscuits

 

[blubex]

ended up eating chocolate orange last night. ... I'd got rid of most of the goodies but that was my daughters and she insisted on sharing. ... finding it really hard to turn down treats at the mo :'(

 

[systema]

I found one of those Lindt chocolate bubble things in the fridge yesterday and without thinking just opened it and ate it (it was good )
At exercise class we have a food collection point and somebody put a new box of Quality Street in it and we had a discussion about whether to open it or not - then found out it was our teacher who had put it there -well impressed. Even she has put weight on over Christmas and it shows so she said it was a no brainer.

hi

I'm not sure how interesting my diary is!

I do let the odd treat sneak in so you could still get away with your muffin this morning ;-)

I think for me the biggest hurdle was being in the right mindset for it and this is what I've found hard this week!

Good luck, if you focus you can do it x

day 7

skipped breakfast as one of the guys bought cream cakes in to work for his birthday so had that instead! luckily I bought in a salad for lunch so even with the cake I come in at under 1,000 calories for the meals I have planned today. .. Do of course everyone is telling me to have a second cake. .... Maybe later ;-)

lunch: chicken and mango salad and fruit
snack: nutri-grain bar
dinner: chicken chow mein
evening: cadbury highlight

Odd treats are fine - it is when they get to be all day is when the trouble begins. (I know from experience)

in the past I would have eaten the second cream cake at breakfast and gone for a third in the afternoon without even thinking about it. ... not any more. ... Although i'm still tempted by the second this afternoon. .....

As long as you're under your calorie goal you'll be fine sometimes a sweet treat helps you get through the day x

Highlights are on offer in Asda at the moment - £3 instead of £3.88 and got a couple at the week-end then this morning they are all gone except the fudge flavour. Just had one and it was OK.

I tend to buy the sachets....4 for a pound. ... Probably not the cheapest way to do it but I get a variety of flavours and can know I'm not putting too much in. .. Which I probably would otherwise!

my daughter loves the fudge ones. ...I don't mind them by prefer the Bournville or cadbury ones

 

[systema]

I prefer to have the Bournville ones but our Asda does not have them and Morrisons is miles away from us - can get them when we go to the Midlands to MIL's (where we are going later in the week) and will have to do her shop so put a couple on her bill (put what you want in the basket is what she tells me all the time ) You get 20 out of the jar so at £3 they work out at 15p each and as I don't drink tea or coffee I have 3 everyday so quite a saving.

I find that a really hard thing - avoiding temptation at work, we have cakes everywhere all the time as it's always someones birthday or someone leaving..... I have to be really strong and resist!! Sometimes it's hard though isnt it when people are very insistent you eat a cake or chocolate and it starts to get a bit awkward....
