Lizzie_T's food diary and tracker

Have you decided on this weeks reward yet?

Good that your stomach is flatter & you are more energetic :). Do you have a particular weight target you're aiming for? Xx
 
Hiya yes I booked a facial today - just 30 minutes - I'm going to have it on Thursday. I would like to get to 120 lb - I'm not sure whether this is realistic. I am 5'3" and at that weight I've felt quite energetic and happy. Anyway, at present, I feel heavy and walking is hard - I feel like I should drop at least 10 lb for my health!

TUESDAY

139.6 lb
1.5 litres water
5 hours sleep
8,000 steps

B: 1 small slice toast with spread and fruit spread
Snack 2 tangerines
L: bowl vegetable soup with piece of bread
Snack: 1 oat mix jar with almond milk, slice of toast with spread and fruit spread
D: 100g dried pasta with chopped tomato and 2 tbs pesto
 
Great diary :) love weighing daily too - you did so well to not really gain over xmas! Whats your calorie goal if you don't mind me asking or do you not count?
 
Thanks CF70 and Littlemisspiggy ... I don't count calories, although i do know that my intake should not exceed 1250 if I don't exercise!! I had it calculated. Low blood pressure / age. So to lose weight I have to eat about 1250 calories and go for a walk each day.

Last few weeks have been very poor at my daily walk and I've been eating around 1400 cals ... each time I've calculated. Weight has crept up ... just from overeating. I found fasting the best way to lose weight but then once I've stopped I just get the munchies, so I just try to control eating to when necessary daily. I feel it's a bit like joining the AA ... you know that you have to take a day at a time. But since Christmas I have been floundering. I don't want to spend money on expensive 'miracle cures' - nothing works long term except for making it a habit to just eat less.

To make it a bit easier, I try to eat stuff I really really like, not half like, not stuff that people put in front of me and try to make me feel guilty for not eating...

Anyway onwards and upwards!! Tomorrow is my day off so I find it easier to be controlled.
 
WEDNESDAY

140.2 lb
5 hours sleep
8000 steps
2 litres tea and water

B: 1 small slice bread, spread and fruit spread
L: small bowl veg soup with bread, 1 choc fondant (I was out with a friend) and one medium size scoop ice cream
Late snack: oat mix
D: 90g pasta, 1 tomato and 1 tbs of pesto, toast (very small) with almond butter

One more thing... I ate 2 Brazil nuts and 1 large biscuit. Just remembered!

I've rearranged my diary so I have space to write food down as I eat. I've let this habit slip lately!

Around 1200 calories ... I don't really want to go back to calorie counting as I like to feel full and think that nature should be sorting this out. Years of yo-yo dieting apparently mess with your sense of when you are full. Anyway, need to get back on track!!

I know I said I don't count calories, but actually, I have gone back to doing it. I'm trying to keep below 1000 a day every now and then, hopefully at least twice a week. Also last two days I've had my dinner around 4pm and stopped eating after that, except for the odd little snack if hungry.

I was reading somewhere that staying at a good weight means being vigilante your whole life - it's like being an ex-smoker or an ex-drinker, you still have to combat the odd craving although it gets easier as time goes on.
 
I'm going to build up the number of burpees I do to about 10. Muscle burns fat and keeps the hunger pangs away!
