missemma's 10 stone journey

[xJoanneJJx]

Try it and see what works for you, it's all trial and error, some people exercise their usual amount and feel fine, others feel they can't! It really is just what works for the individual though for exercise and how you spread the cals out xx

Oh I could easily do it on the 500 cals I think because I usually get back from the gym so late I don't have time to eat anything too substantial. Maybe I'll do my two fast days on Tuesday and Friday that way I can see if it helps at all. That's one day of gym and one day without. I'll probably burn about 350 calories at the gym so does that mean I can replace those lost ones haha

Day 1 of 30 day squats done. 50 not too bad!

Night all xx

Re: missemma makes a return

Some people eat more on a fast day if they have worked out, some people get used to not. I guess it's what works for you. Have something like a small banana with you which is about 90-100 cals just in case you need a pick me up. And if you feel faint, sick or dizzy stop. You'll find what works for you xx

I've got a cherry bake well alpen light with me just incase although tbh my food not including dinner is pretty normal for a work day, I've got the same amount of salad as normal I just have a few slices less of ham!
It's just tonight that I might need to readjust as I only have 50 calories or so!

Okay here is a picture of my food totalling 449 calories!



I had one alpen light & 1/2 the milk this morning.

Just eaten 'breakfast' which was the other 1/2 of the milk made into coffee and fruit.



So far so good! Normalish day for me food/work wise so not feeling bad at all yet! It's the 51 calorie dinner I'm pondering on! Any ideas will be gratefully received. I could for-go my second alpen light as that's 65 calories spared then I'd have 116 calories left but even then it's not much haha! We shall see how I feel post gym

We also have a book club that come in and they have a 5:2 cook book in there! How bizarre! But it has various meals in there in cal brackets so 0-100, 100-200, etc and its only a fiver. I may have to purchase just for low cal meals in general xx

That book sounds awesome! We used to have book club but people kept 'borrowing' the books so they stopped! Sillyness.

I am delighted to see a two egg white omelette is only 34 calories, mixed with one slice of ham this could be okay for dinner maybe! I've never had just egg whites as am omelette though :/ thank you for the list, there is some interesting things in there xxx

 

[MissNix]

Oooh combining 5:2 with SW sounds different... will be really interested to hear how you get on with it, good luck! xx

 

[xJoanneJJx]

Wow little cals for your tea! We're all different though generally I skip breakfast and just have liquids, lunch is a salad or Finn crisps with philli light then I can still have a good 300 or something for the evening. Hope the gym goes well! Xx

Yes, just because I ate/drank quite badly over the weekend and want to try and pull some weight loss back! I hope it works!

I think it's because I'm so used to eating breakfast at lunch time & then lunch around 5pm at work that it kinda seems like lunch/dinner anyways. So my first day wasn't too bad actually, 499 calories eaten, I did go to the gym and worked out pretty normally but I was more aware to not push it due to the minimal calorie intake. I also think I felt more hungry because I knew I wasn't 'allowed' to eat anything extra if that makes sense.

So the total food for today at 499 calories was....



Dinner was 2 ryvita with 3 slices of lean ham & 3/4 of a tomato sliced with 1 teaspoon extra light mayo haha. Such a crappy dinner but it actually tasted so good.
I'm actually looking forwards to a normal day tomorrow where I can eat fruit that isn't weighed out, 4 ryvita with Lowlow and as much salad items as I like, and then eggs for dinner, 2 of them with salad and ham if I wanted and no counting, ooh that means 3 coffees and not 2, amazing haha.

Gym was :



I weighed this morning and the scales said +5 so let's see if they're any less tomorrow morning....

 

[missemma]

Scales down 2lb from yesterday so showing a +3lb gain! That's unusual for me so good times.

Bad news though my frigging scales needs new battery. When I got off I got back on again (I do that) and it said LO. Not oh Emma you are too low to be weighing yourself but haha no more weighing for you. On my way to work now so I'm going to buy a battery so first thing so straight after the gym is scales hopping

Food today - red day.

Before work snackage - banana.
Breakfast - fruit (cherries & mango) with a coffee.
Lunch - 4 ryvita (HEb), 60g low low (HEa), tomato & cucumber. Strawb danio (1 syn).
Pre gym - alpen light if I need it.
Dinner - beef & egg salad.

What a lovely food day that sounds! I couldn't eat the banana quick enough haha!

haha your LO comment made me chuckle! Sounds like the 1st day of 5:2 went well...I'll be following avidly and see how it affects your losses, as I'm in a bit of a rut at the mo so need something to kick start me for the last half stone!

[Nellylou]

Lol, your LO comment did make me laugh :-D

Enjoy your food today xx

I know and hopefully each day it will go down until I get a STS or loss on WI day which is Saturday mornings xx

Yeah I sometimes need a shakeup and although the 5:2 seems a total fad diet I might try it for a week here and there! Always good just before a holiday or something to speed up weight loss!
I bought a new battery on my way to work so I can get straight back on tonight xx

Lol, your LO comment did make me laugh :-D

Enjoy your food today xx

Haha it's true though! I'm surprised my scales don't say 'get off you fat git' when I step on them xx
