Julzie's Refeed

[thefutureisbright]

Just had some chicken and rocket salad for lunch today. Was nice and im full! Takes nothing to fill me up... which is great and I dont intend on strectching my stomach so i need to get a horse to feel full again! lol

For tea last night I had some organic chick pea curry with a little bit of basmati rice - THEN!!! I had S U P P E R! I had 2 ryvita witha a small tin of ww tuna in tomato sauce (1 point) but i exercised loads last night so I allowed myself a little treat and I havent had anything crunchy yet so fancied a wee ryvita. Overall calorie count yesterday was approx 800. Still feeling 100% with lots of energy and no hunger... buzzing

SLIMFAST SHAKE...

I only have one maintenance product left and its choc mousse - not my fav - so I just had a slim fast vanilla shake for breakfast. Put some coffee in it a la LT. Its OK, not my LT shake but I reckon through time I could get to like it more... but everything tastes sooo sugary now.

Im thinking of trying maximuscle protein shakes as a meal replacement to see what I think of them. I def love shakes and intend to keep having them just want to find a shake that doesnt taste like its full of sugar??

If I cant find any shakes that arent full of sugar I will moving to juicing vegetables for breakfast - this is ultimately the way I want to go anyway, but I would prefer to stick to shakes for another month or so.

Feeling really happy about my tummy - its getting more and more toned - I dont think I ever remember it looking this way - all the slendertone and situps and exercising must be paying off and now I can see the results its even more motivating to keep on going and get the toned tummy I have always dreamed of!

Hmmm......

hey julz just got myself some slimfast to try as theyr'e so easy and i too am missing the LT shakes.
trying to lose 5lb before my hols in sept. don't want to go onto 3meals a day as i don't know where that will take me weight.

Hi Julz, Miss Motivator herself! You always sound so enthusiastic; good for you! Don't like the taste of the choc whip/mousse much, not even when watered down into a hot choc. Wonder whether the pharmacist will let me have proper ("proper" -ha!) LT shakes instead? I would also like to stick to one shake a day still till I get my fat % down to 23% at least. Currently 31%, hmmm...
Do you think the pharmacist would agree to that. I'm hoping so.
Haven't tried the caramel bars yet. Will ask for these too.
Take care and keep up the good work!

Exercising - I go to gym 3 or 4 times a week, I used slendertone abs and arms 5 times a week and I dance like a crazy woman in between! lol

I got a personal trainer to work with me for 4 weeks which was brilliant and relaly helped me to focus on toning my arms and tummy. I can see big differences in last month - I have went from 28 inch waist to 25.5 inch waist!

Hey, check out this website Maximuscle I think im going to go onto these products - The slim fast is very sweet. Not keen on the sugary taste - maximuscle woman has products specifically for toning as well. Which is what im focused on now. I will let u know how I get on?

Last night I had chick pea curry, basmati rice and salad.....

Went for weigh in today and lost 1 pound which im very happy about! Only 3 more to go so would be great to have that nailed in 2 weeks. I got 10 maintenance products for this week - 5 bars and 5 shakes.

Had a maintenance bar after weigh in and a cup of black coffee.

Went to tescos last night and bought lots of non perishable foods that are handy to make - like tins of ww tuna and ryvita etc. so going to keep these in work for lunches.

 

[thefutureisbright]

TODAYS MENU:-

12noon - Maintenace bar
3pm - Summer Fruits Shake
6pm - WW Tuna with Ryvita

Feeling fine now and not hungry. Need to up my water intake though as ive been crap. Things are mad at work - feeling the pressure but thankfully my brian is not thinking about turning to food. xox

day 9

On Day 9 - wow!

Food so far today:-

Breakfast: maintenance bar 204 Calories
Lunch: Chick pea curry and ryvita 200 calories
Tea: Grilled Salmon, Boiled Brocolli, Salad 300 calories

Met to 2 friends in belfast today and went to a coffee with each separately. On both occassions I got a black coffee - while they ate massive triple decker sandwiches and strawberry and cream milkshakes. Wasnt tempted in the slightest. When I look a bacon, mayo and white bread I just think it looks sick.

Going to go to my mums house now and show her my cool new rock and republic jeans, not sure what tea will be, but deffo want to hit the gym tonight as I havent been all week, but been exercising in the house so not all bad.

Feeling on top of the world, my shopping trip today has motivated me even more to get really toned and make the best of the new slim me!

Will update this post with what I have for tea later.
