Longgggg day at work today. Was at a conference allll day!

They gave us 'lunch tokens' for the canteen at the conference venue. People eating as much as thy could for the sake of it. Then Judging me because I had brought lunch with me. They were being quite nasty to me if i am honest. I had rye bread with trout, watercress and homemade pumpkin seed pesto. They were saying how horrible it looked and how stupid all this 'macrobiotic' food was. I mean for god sake. If you're going to try and offend me. Get it right! However...just spurs me on to be honest. I look much healthier and am fitter physically than most of them, but yet they see fit to judge me and I would never judge them. This is why I got so sick as a teen, caring too much about others opinions. So glad I've come so far and now take it all on the chin and move in.

Meh. Anyway.

B: 1.5 slices rye toast and crunchy peanut butter. 1 weak tea and small glass skimmed milk
S: natural yoghurt and berries (strawberry, blackberry,blueberry)
L: rye bread topped with homemade pumpkin seed pesto and flaked trout on watercress.
S: no second snack because I had little tasters of all my grazeboxes and the pate I made.
D: chicken breast, roasted cherry tomatoes, half a baked potato, with reduced fat crime fraiche, tomato purée and fresh basil.

Really happy with the pâté I have made. Egg and hummus. Yum! Was not sure it would be nice...but it isssssss!!

Also done day three of the shred...getting into it now!

Sorry your colleagues were so rude. Food/weight/diet are issues that people feel they have a right to remark on - rise above it and like you say use it to spur you on . Your food sounds balanced and healthy - that's my tuppence worth

Hope you have a good day today xx

Hello all,

i Was having a great day today until I got on the scales.

I've gone up to 8.1 and It makes me nervous!

I know that I weighed at the end of the day after all my food, and also I know that because I'm doing the shred, that actually might be muscle weight not fat. But I hate it when I'm eating healthily and the weight seems to go up, it makes my brain do funny things, like tell myself I am eating too much...even though my average cals per day is only about 1300/1400. Meh!

I'm having a weekend off dieting, for the first time since January. I have had this weekend planned for a long time, and I am determined to enjoy it!

My goal for next week is to drink more water....I think I am very dehydrated these last couple of weeks, but my job is so out and about..it is impossible for me to drink a lot as I spend so much time driving. When I was working at a desk I drank much more!

But from Monday..no more slacking! No more sugar!

Here's my food for today (bit of a rubbish day today)

B: muesli with strawberries

S: apple and Jaffa cake (bad!)

L: trout and pesto open sandwich







S: 2x Nairn oatcakes and egg/hummus pate

D: chicken breast, half baked potato , cherry tomatoes and 2 slices garlic bread (bad!)

S: homemade white chocolate and granola cookie ( baked them this evening so had to try them out! BAD!)



















No water..or exercise tonight! BAD!


To cheer me up though, and food related...look at this little pic my lovely oh sent me earlier. He is so cute






Xxxxxx

Try not to worry too much. You're eating well and healthy it'll all balance out. Enjoy your diet free weekend x cookies look gorgeous x

 

[blue-kat]

really impressed at your commitment and organisation, and the food looks fantastic too.
Don't mind what those silly people at the work conference said, sad they need to run down other people to feel OK about themselves.
trout + rye = yum and mega healthy, so much better than goring on free food.
ditto, don't be a salve to the scales, you know you're eating really well and it's a slow game, don't look for quick fixes. keep it up and you'll be healthy. Well done !

Hello all.

Weekend was fab. Really enjoyed - lovely to see my oldest friend. Fab.

But. I must say. I feel horrendous today. Literally wiped out. The bags under my eyes are like i have never seen before. I have had a headache for the last 48 hours and i am honestly so lethargic i am struggling to get out of bed. In fact i am so bleh i am wondering if it can even be food related or if i am actually ill!

Anyway, that aside, i am back on low gl today...i need to start shifting a couple of pounds...and feeling energised again!!!

Going to push myself to do the shred i always feel perkier after exercise!!

On the slightly morr positive note. Tonight i am going to a seamstress to have 20 items of clothing altered. I have about fifty items to do..but getting mainly trousers done this time round...cannot wait to have my clothes back! Wish i wasnt feeling so bloaty...but maybe good to have slight 'leeway' in the clothes?

Heres yesterday and todays food, excuse yesterday as the end of my weekend off!

SUNDAY:

B: 2Xpoached egg on white toast
L: cottage cheese, beetroot and mixed salad with new potatoes and quarter slice rye bread
D: low gl mediterraean pasta with tuna olives peppers and low gl white sauce.
S: bowl of ice cream and fruit, cheese sandwich on linseed bread.

Monday:
B: muesli w/ blackberries and milk
L: sesame quinoa salad
D: halloumi and aubergine curry
S: low gl amaretti biscuits and apple with pumpkin seeds.

And LOTS OF WATER!!! X

Hi Hun . Sorry to hear you've been feeling rough - hope you've been better today and you're not coming down with the anything!

Even though you said you were off plan on Sunday, it's looks healthy enough to me .

How exciting to be waiting for all your clothes to come back from being altered! My mom's a dressmaker and as a pear shape she's always had to take my trouser waist in otherwise they gape at the back! But if I buy them to fit my waist they are too tight on my thighs grrrrr lol.

Good luck with the shred, and hope you had a good day. Xxx

 

[Littlest-cupcake]

Hello all. Today has been ok. Decided not to shred as my ill feeling turned into a full blown migraine. Luckily i was working from home today so i had a couple of sleeps.

A lot of the stuff i wanted to be taken in is beyond help mainly because i have lost soooo much weight....if i had them altered the back pockets would be touching each other!!!! So its ebay for some things...but all my chinos and a couple of dresses are going to be fitted again. Woooo.

Food wise an ok day. Perhaps slightly disjointed because of my naps,not enough water,or snacks, but managed to get in all my meals. I loved my lunch...sesame and quinoa salad..i put a small amount of tuna in as well for extra protein.



However i hated my dinner. Halloumi curry was NOT nice!! Very salty and yuck! Never mind!

On the plus side...look at these cutie jamas i got from primark!! Xx

 

[rosie mae]

HI cupcake, i am new to this and need some help too... i also think i have a bad relationship with food and want to learn to love it too... any tips.. x

 

[Soel]

Hope your migraine's gone now. Not nice at all and definitely not a day to start shred.

Sorry to hear you didn't like your curry - never mind at least you tried it

Love you pjs by the way Take care and hope you feel better tomorrow xx

 

[irish molly]

Hope your migraine is gone. Pain is never nice.
Well done for trying new foods. It's a pity the curry wasn't to your taste but at least you tried it!
It'll feel great to get your clothes fitting nicely again. That's a big milestone for you, so good for you!

 

[Littlest-cupcake]

Thanks for all your kind words! Feeling slightly better today! Still have a bit of a headache and just got sent a bloomin speeding ticket for doing 80 on the motorway. Boo hoooooo!

Food wise today hasnt been so bad, but substituted one of my snacks for a small bowl of granola as was very hungry after a small lunch..so thought that would stop me binging! Which it did! No idea what to have for tea, as the curry has gone in the bin...even though i wouldnt even call it a curry...just dry and salty!! Xxx

B: 2x boiled egg 2x soy and linseed bread
L: sesame and cashew quinoa salad
S: 2xplums and small bowl granola with skimmed milk
D: dont know! Think i might just do some wholemeal pasta with tuna, tomato and feta cheese. We shall see!

 

[Malteaster]

Glad your migraine is a bit better, I suffer from them and am usually sick and can't face food but the day after I crave digestive biscuits.

I love your pyjamas.

How strange about the digestives! I get them a lot because my work is mainly computer based...makes me very tired...so alcohol and caffiene do not help!

I pushed myself to do the shred today. Was fine through it...now i am all fainty. Need dinner quick! Hehe. I also went onto my wii fit...which helpfully told me i have put on six pounds...but was still weighing me as under eight stone. I have never used the wii to weigh..so i wont be starting now lol!! Xx

 

[Littlest-cupcake]

Heres what I decided on for dinner.






Some red peppers stuffed with brown basmati, mushroom, red onion, feta, garlic and pinenuts. Served it with a mixed leaf salad and some cucumber,tomato and balsamic. It was lovely.

I have to say guys, and i hope u dont mind me venting - i am feeling rubbish at the moment. And i dont know who to talk to about it.

Im constantly anxious. Anxious about my weight, anxious about all the hideous amounts of debt i am in, anxious about the wellbeing of my parents who are divorcing (which leads me to worry about moving house, who to live with, how much i will have to pay them etc, whether they will be ok) this also makes me anxious about my boyfriend who i only see once a week - will i ever have enough money to live with him, im anxious about being good at my job and being successful and accomplished and earning enough money to live, and now on top of all that I am worried that im going to lose my driving license because i will have six points on it - which might make my insurance go up?? I know the driving bit is my fault because i WAS speeding, but ironically it was because i was rushing to get home because i could feel a migraine coming on..just my luck i will have to drive very carefully from now on.

Sorry for this ranty rant. I do it quite a lot, im just feeling pulled in so many directions at the moment and i just need to stop and sleep xx
