Total Solution Mere's Diary

[WannabeSkinnyMinnie13]

Ooh well done on the exercise Mere Now you're at goal, I'm sure you can afford to have a low carb exercise balance day- that the plan for my future maintenance anyhow! Though can picture myself always having some exante products in the cupboards to hand in emergencies!

Where was lunch mere ?

 

[Mere]

I had lunch at home Marge because the garage could not get the car taxed locally and they said they would deliver it to my house at 12.30pm They actually did not deliver it until 4.15pm so my son had to go straight back home to Fife to see to the twins who would be in from school.
Had a shake and later a glass of really nice wine. I am booked for the powerplate tomorrow at the gym then have my usual Zumba class so that will use up over 500 calories.

Aw jealous of you zumbaring! I miss it! I had the most amazing zumba teacher in the past and nobody I have had after her measure up! It's worth driving the 20mins to the gym to have her instruct us. I must go again when I'm a tad nearer goal.

 

[Mere]

Why wait until you reach goal Minnie? If your instructor is anything like mine then it is such good fun and leaping about like an idiot burns up the calories and helps you to reach goal quicker.

Well I'm a bit scared exercising will affect weightloss and even though I won't be gaining fat if they scales show to be slowing, I'd be put off plan. Also, in the past when I've exercised I have felt like it's given me some sort of right to have something naughty because I've earnt it in someway. Does that make sense? I used to go to the gym everyday but then found myself not following the healthy eating I'd been doing for years before starting the gym. I'm scared the same will happen again.

I can understand that. I know ED felt the shred had slowed her weight loss. You have to do what feels right for you. You are doing so well I would not like to see anything putting you off.

I would honestly love to start exercising but don't want to jinx it just yet. Perhaps when I get to 10 and a half stone. I wish I didn't think like that about exercise- I wish I could think, 'I've worked my bottom off, I am going to be super strict'. I'm sure once I've got the body I've worked hard for I will think like that because I won't want to undo the hardwork!

Fabulous Mere, so happy to hear you enjoying life and watching how you are at goal. Gives us all great inspiration and excitement for when we follow you You can have meals and wine now, you have the balance perfect with the exercise. How great! I can't wait to be there too, and I too will enjoy treats and work to afford any extra calories I fancy. Amazing Mere xx

 

[Mere]

Thanks ED but I don't feel happy about what I am doing I feel I need to be a bit more strict with myself but the motivation to be TS has just gone out of the window.
I worked my butt off in the gym this morning and used up 600 cals and so far today I have had two shakes so at the moment I am in negative calories. My WI is tomorrow and I hope the scales show at least a little drop.
There was a big discussion going on at the gym today about weight loss and exercise and the general feeling was that although exercise can cause a slight weight gain the body looks so much better toned. So it is a bit of a trade off.

[notsoskinnymarge]

Its all about balance now Mere eh ?
I think its a small time to adjust, then you will make it be a breeze !!!

 

[Mere]

Thanks girls for the encouragement, I really need it as head is definitely not in the zone now. :sigh:
I bought the mixed pickle you suggested Marge and found it took away cravings for something sweet. I also bought some teapigs lemon and ginger teabags lovely with ultraslim chocolate bar for dinner. Yum.
