Miriam's Diary

Had a day off work today so was in the gym at 10.00. I did a zumba class, then swam 62 lengths, then did an aqua zumba class. I think I did a bit too much to be honest because when I went shopping later on I hardly had the energy to push to trolley to the car and unload the car - I was shattered. Anyway, had a shower after the gym at 1.00 then a bath at 7.00 because I am so cold. Nice and relaxed now though. Just had my second shake and looking forward to my bar at 9.00.

Still a bit depressed about EP and not sleeping well. Woke up from one of those soooooo real dreams at about 3.00 this morning and couldnt get back to sleep.

Still dreading tomorrow night and my meal out. I am determind to stick to my food plan - feta salad for starters and sea bass and salad for main and MAYBE a glass of wine and soda. I am just hoping and praying that it's not too difficult to get back on track on Sunday. After 16 days 100% I don't want to get out of the zone. Fingers crossed :)
 
Well its my meal out tonight, really going to have to be disciplined with myself to stick to my choices of feta salad starter and sea bream and salad main. I am starving today.

I made caramel shortbread for my daughter this morning and it didn't look too good, the chocolate didn't spread evenly on the top. I had to cut into it to see if it came off the bottom of the tin and I had a square :( - only one square but it was a cheat (first one in 17 days). That's becasue my brain knows I am gonna eat tonight :(

I so want meat, I love meat and could eat a whole chicken no problem, or a ham shank - just love meat and I crave it desparately whilst on this diet. Was looking at the menu for tonight and I really want meat and rice but can't :(

Anyway, having a hot vanilla shake right now and will have my second shake 10 mins before I leave the house tonight so I am actually still full by the time I go to the restaurant.

No exercise today becasue I think I overdid it yesterday.
 
Hey m have a lovely eve, ur food choices sound good love enjoy yourself and hood u recover from ur exercise x

Well the evening went very well. I had a drink at my friends house before we went, 2 glasses of white wine with soda water to dilute it. Our table was booked for 9.30 but there was a problem when we got there. Good job we know them :) Anyway, we didn't get our table until 10.30 and our food until 11.00 :eek:

Becasue we were waiting at the bar area for so long they offered us a humous dip with Turkish bread for free. They came and gave us our forks which I refused as I didn't want to be tempted, especially with their lovely warm bream as a dip Mmmmmmmmmmmmm. I told them I was on a diet so was being good. So by the time we were due to order the others were full off the dip and didn't want a starter - fine by me :) I had Sea Bass and Salad - OMG it was absolutely delish. The salad had a dressing on it of olive oil and lemon I think which was beautiful and I squeezed my lemon over my fish. I love meat so wouldn't usually choose fish in a restaurant, although I like it, but it was really gorgeous.

I drank wine and soda with my meal too but it wasn't too strong.

It was funny becasue it was my friends birthday and as we were last in the restaurant by this time, they put Happy Birthday on and brough a bit slice of desert with a candle on and 3 forks for my mates hahaha. Even if I did want to cheat they didn't give me an option. Also a little plate with 3 pieces of Turkish Delight hahahahaha. So not too bad. I should imagineI am well out of ketosis with the wine and lemon and olive oil (I dunno) but I have got straight back on the wagon today. Had a strawberry shake for lunch but am failing on the water today. Have only had half a litre :(

So, going back for my birthday on 25th February and would like to lose a stone by then. Don't think that's gonna happen though coz I am such a slow loser but I am gonna give it a shot :D
 
I can't believe how easy it has been for me to get back on the wagon after Saturday night. In fact, in fear of sounding cocky, I am sailing along quite nicely on this diet. I have done Cambridge and this diet numerous times and have always struggled but not this time. Why? I just don't want to cheat. I do get hungry and my head sometimes wants food, but I am finding it much easier this time to resist.

Been to the gym tonight for a zumba class. Aqua tomorrow and gonna have a nice swim beforehand. Another meal at the same restaurant arranged today for 3rd March. That's 5 weeks to lose a stone lol. It was originally 25th February but had to be cancelled but I don't mind coz it's given me an extra week :) I will be good again with the fish and salad, or maybe a chicken shish kebab and salad.

Had my two shakes and a bar and gonna hit the sack soon. Exercise makes me shattered :)
 
Wow Mia you are doing sooo well :) keeping focused, I should take a leaf out of your book, although exercise and dodgy joints don't really go together, but aqua class sounds brilliant.
Have a good day :)

Thanks Shanny, yeah I can't believe how much I am actually into it - not like me at all hahaha.

It is also not like you to be failing???? What's going on young lady???? Now, get your act together and start losing - you know you want to. What's up, can you just not get into the zone. I know I can't do this diet unless I am psyched up, I can't just get up one day and like .... do it. I have to be ready.

But you? You are great at this. You are my guru so come on, you can't have me being skinnier than you can you? Here is a cyber kick up the arse hahahahahahaha
 
Thanks Gill. I don't want to tempt fate but I just am being 100% and not even tempted. Don't get me wrong, the food on Saturday was absolutely lush, but Sunday I just got back on the wagon straight away. The only thing which affects me eating wise is boredom, I am sick of shakes and soups and bars, but it's a small price to pay for a few months to get to goal.

I hate actually 'going' to the gym, but once I am there it's fine. Yeah Aqua tonight, but I don't feel actually does anything for me, but I will swim 60/70 lengths before hand so aqua is just a bit fun afterwards. Stick in and I am sure you can do it :D
 
Went to the gym again tonight and swam 30 lengths and did an aqua class. Zumba tomorrow but giving up the Thrusday zumba class, gonna concentrate on swimming instead. Maybe do a mile twice a week. I think that's enough - 2 zumba classes, 1 aqua class (swim beforehand) and 2 miles swimming. I have been 100% since my planned meal on Saturday and still feel good although I don't feel any 'skinnier' at all !!!! WI Thursday so hope I lose at least 2.5lb to make my stone

I heard u loud and clear :) 1st of Feb ready to shrink now...

Your doing fab :) I'm loving your exercising to let me know weigh results chicka
 
Go Shanny, Go Shanny!!!! Stick in there :D

Well I have been absolutely STARVING today, I don't know why. The only thing I can put it down to is having the fish and salad on Saturday night??? Maybe it's just hitting my system now?? but I only had grilled fish and salad and a few glasses of white wine with soda. If I had of put all the wine together without the soda I doubt it would have been half a bottle :eek:

Anyway, weigh in tomorrow morning. Dreading it actually for a number of reasons - a) week 3 isn't a good week for me after 2 good losses b) I ate on Saturday (albeit very little) and c) I don't feel any different at all

I didn't go to the gym tonight, I feel c**p, headaches, sickly feeling, and sooooooo tired. Might go tomorrow night if this headache lifts.

Been 100% again today, in fact, no way am I gonna cheat.

Got a couple of planned days/nights out within the next few weeks though:-
18th Feb - day and night but no food or drink for me
25th Feb - birthday night out so may have a few drinkies
3rd Mar - birthday meal out so fish and salad again for me

Got until August to lose this weight so not gonna kill myself for it :)
 
Well it was 3rd WI today and I only lost 1.5lb. I was disappointed in a way but I was expecting it. Week 3 is usually bad for me and I've still lost 13lb in 3 weeks. Some people lose way more than that in three weeks but there's nothing I can do. I'm having my 3 pack, my water and exercising so I can't do anything more to lose weight faster.

Didn't go to the gym tonight, think I am gonna stop my Thursday class coz it's on too late after a day at work. Next day out will be 18th February so got 17 days to try and lose a bit more. Another group of friends have arranged a birthday night out now on 10th March, so days/nights out now are 18th Feb, 24th Feb, 3rd March and 10th March. Gonna REALLY have to be careful !!!
 
You can do it - I am going away for a few days in just over a week with girl friends, and they all know I am doing this and have promised to support me and not let me stray, YAY for good friends x
 
Norwegian Girl - I wasn't planning on going out so much but have different groups of friends so can't leave anyone out hahaha. I'm lucky really so not complaining :D

3rd March night out is food so that's much easier to cope with - in a restaurant all night rather than a pub crawl means I can choose what I want beforehand and be careful with the wine. It's the girlie nights I am worrying about, think I might have to take the car so I can't drink :(
 
Just home from the gym. Swam 100 lengths which is more than a mile for pleased with that. Took me a hour though!

Still 100% with not a hint of a cheat, just don't want to do it. I think I have been hypnotised in my sleep lol. Making all these arrangements to go out and dreading them hahaha. Not becasue I'm am out, I am looking forward to that, seeing my mates, good night etc, I just don't want to be tempted to cheat. I will drink (little) unless I take the car but I can't park in the centre of Newcastle so dunno what I'll do. Anyway, worry about that when the time comes. So, doing ok at the moment, hope this feeling lasts :D
 
Went to the beach today with my mam and lucy and they had fish and chips. God, it killed me but I did it. Came home and had a banana shake.

Intended to go to the gym and swim 100 lengths again today but the snow made the roads quite bad so didn't think I'd risk it. Shame really coz I actually felt like doing it. If it's ok tomorrow I might go then.

It was lush at the beach, snow, wind, freezing. I love fish and chips, they are my most favourite food in the world, I could live on them (maybe that's why I am overweight hahaha). Anyway, another boring night in front of the telly :(
