Goldilukes Diary of a food zombie

[Goldilukes]

I love you busy.....yes yes I think I need a challenge. Need something anyway.

i agree with you on the scales, I'm still fitting my stuff but the scales are offending me.
i definitely need to cut the snacks and my coffee down definitely.

starting back on the treadmill today as it happens so yes let's do this for a week clean, induction styley!
shake hands and good luck!

Is anyone going to watch fat, sick and nearly dead? I have seen the trailer for it and I can't wait.
not sure if I could do a juice diet especially since I'd be at home bored and they are not only on the juice diet but working their ass off with personal trainers....which helps. 60 days though.....ain't long

That's definitely a deal ;-)

Get on that treadmill! Its easy to spend 20mins reading emails or pottering about - why not just spend it on a mini work out x.

I've just finished at gym and feel so energised.

Ok I'm up for a week of no g&b or peanut butter. Clean week I mentioned the tracking cos I'm rubbish! I get all the ratios wrong and end up eating way too much meat which doesn't help.

Great that your clothes are still fitting well, I just put on shorts and had to really breath in :-( sure it's just cos they are just out of the wash ;-)

Have a good day

LOL @ iPad. Your pre brekky snack sounds great, but it would have to be my brekky ot a pre- brekky snack because I havent much appetite 1st thing. (posts 13 and 14)

I read your comment about dog free time (cant remember where), I was musing on it as I grimly cleaned the settee of paw prints, glanced at cat paw prints on dining chairs, vacuumed up fur from 5 dogs, mopped the paw marks then opened front door to visitor and all 5 barked and fussed as he tried to enter the house and yet another hamster sized ball of fur was rolling across the floor in the breeze..... Wouldn't be without them, no -but sometimes :sigh:

As someone else has already smacked you with a frying pan I'm going to shake Jim's veg stick at you. GREEEEEEEENS!!!!!! You're menu is just protein and fat.
:4633: I'm hiding now

LOL Lisa is right hun - Jim swears by leafy greens as playing a major part in his substantial weight loss.

And on what other eating plan can you have cabbage and bacon sauteed in butter? Or a big pile of steamed spinach as the cosy bed for baked goat's cheese?

 

[dizzydelly]

Hi goldi, just had a quick catch up. defo agree with the frying pan, lol!
I love fried courgettes and fried cabbage. Creamed spinach is good but if your watching the cream have it as a treat.
Panpan is absolutely gorgeous!
Keep on going Hun x

 

[Rindaloo]

I love fried cauliflower and fried broccoli. I find if I cross cut the stems and deep fry it takes those veggies into another world!

I've just finished at gym and feel so energised.

No gym for me yesterday, just felt too hot and I'm honestly scared of triggering a thumping headache. I've been looking for good gyms in my area but there are none close enough, I live near a motorway and there a no bus stops so my treadmil and work out DVDs will have to do. Do you recommend any?

 

[Rindaloo]

I realise that doing too much in hot weather can give me a terrible headache. I now know that if I drink loads, it doesn't help, just makes me feel sick. Which has been very worrying on Hash walks. Other than quitting, I don't know the answer.

 

[Busybusy]

Hi morning,

I know the headaches really put you of from before, but give a go again and see how it goes.

Tbh I'm only a gym member for the kids activities, as children can't be members unless a parent joins to. Therefor only go gym to utilise the membership. I much prefer exercise at home - it much more convenient, and when the boys were young it was only way I could fit things in.

I've had all the home exercise DVDs ever possibly out! It all depends what you enjoy doing, I personally get bored so like a variety.

I recommend;

Kettleworx - it's literally 20 mins X3 a week and very effective. The box set is also very good value.

Ladan Soltani, fabulous at 40 - I did this post baby as it came on fitness TV. Also very effective and not too much pounding away. The exercises are good and she's really good at motivating without barking at you.

Tae-bo - this is excellent for some at home cardio as its quite fast paced. But you have the treadmill anyway for fat burning.

Hope this helps x.

Lol my jeans Are so tight after a wash but I prefer that because it sucks my tummy in

Dogs drive me nuts sometimes here too but we wouldn't be without them. Soooooo much cleaning to do...they are dirtier and naughtier than kids!

no need to hide Lisa, I needed that kick up the butt on the greens, just as well Jim never visits my diary. I'd be in trouble

i agree the buttered veg is like no other Nd I couldnt go back to any other diet that allows you to eat because their allowable foods are boring.

yum creamed spinach sounds lovely, I bought a frozen bag of it plus I've got fresh so there's no excuse. Hope you Are well?

Completely agree Lynne, and it's not just one of my many excuses, it's a genuine concern. 4 litres would hydrate but it doesn't work that way for me sometimes. I hate headaches, doctor says its hypertension and stress so go relax.....yeah right..
I actually want to work out but headaches when they get a hold make me feel terrible, like I need to get low down and crawl the floor or il be sick.. Not pleasant and sometimes medication won't budge them. I don't know what to suggest for you either???

Thanks so much busy for all the DVD ideas seriously thanks!

Ive never had any before but have been waiting on getting some excess cash to buy a bike, ab roller and matt plus some sort of stepper/walker type thing. Got a huge sitting room but for the past few weeks its been taken up with giant puppy pen for the weenies cute but awkward for me exercising.

il go easy on the treadmill and come off if I feels the build up of a stinker head.

 

[Goldilukes]

Morning everyone,

just want to thank everyone for all the support on here, it's very helpful and I always know that you will support not Criticise me if I fall off the wagon.

im 10.6.6 today, I feel so let down by myself it's unbelievable. I'm basically just floating back up aren't I?

my menu yesterday
B 1 bp coffee, 1 creamed coffee
L 1 cup rocket, salaminis, 4 cherry toms, olive oil, mayo and parmesan
D half tin tuna, 1 cup baby leaf, 20g grated red cheddar, mayo

S McDonald's plain double cheeseburger without bun- need to stop these again as I believe they are piling the weight in even without the bun.
S 25g emmental cheese
S tbs almond butter
S 2 squares Lindt 85% dark choc

at least 4 litres water
COffees with soya cream instead of usual cream since same carbs half cals. It's not as tasty but tough! Had about 4


No more choc or burgers.

One of my problems right now is that I am super stressed with work, like to the point my stomach is knotted and I've been grinding my teeth. Plus sometimes I have to remember to breathe properly. I'm aware I'm shallow breathing all day and its terrible. I'm fed up with having to think what to cook for everyone here 3 times per day...even if I go back to cd I still have to cook meals here anyway, the washing up is a nightmare cooking for all with different dishes.

These are the times I just end up withdrawn and snack because its easier. My sleeping pattern is still good although I'm feeling more tired than before. So I'm happy but feeling quite worn down and defeated, diet is getting on top of me the fact I can't just eat like normal people.....it's a constant battle. Moan over, tomorrow will be perky even if it kills me because I am glad you all read my diary and would hate to put you all off from coming along.

hope you all have a great day! The weather is brilliant!
