My Exante Diary

[Saddlebag]

I still love the food channels, strange really! I felt like such an idiot doing Zumba, I have no rhythm to speak of and couldn't keep up I did a body combat class at the gym a few weeks back and felt like I was gonna die! It was so hard! When the floor exercises started I just lay on the mat trying to catch my breath! There was me thinking a gym class was easier than going for a run...!

 

[shoebedoo]

Ur gas!! Not Lookin forward to dance class on Wed nite as was quite lightheaded last Wed!! Must drink coke zero b4 hand Have another shake to have now Decisions decisions Haven't had d strawberry one yet?? Is it nice??

 

[shoebedoo]

Just had banana shake Wasn't feelin hungry but thought gotta keep up my strength and get my quota of vits and mins Time 4 bed I'm shattered Hope I won't b achin after exercise did morn as forgot to do stretches Silly me

 

[shoebedoo]

Nitey nite Sweet dreams !!! Til tomoro

 

[Saddlebag]

I liked the strawberry it's wasn't too bad! Better than the choc and vanilla anyway, banana is my favourite. Don't worry abut stretches to warm up too much, it's the cooling down stretches that are important. I'm about ready for my bed too. Night night- day 7 is around the corner!

Mornin Stuck 2 d bed My gudness I cud hear torrential rain last night Need to get triple glazin!!! Weather this wk was promised bad Just as well I'm back at work Think I might go for a little jog around d hse if it has stopped Need exercise to wake up properly Isn't it amazing how quick d days have gone Initially I thought they were dragging Easier when one is busy Only one more day til we jump on d scales Here's to another TS day Gosh we sure have aced this diet this wk.... We r in control... We r enjoying our Exante products and we will reach our goals!!! Have a super day at work... Focus on how yummy and filling and satisfying Ur own lunch is today! Colleagues lunches r laden with calories and carbs that they will have to work off whereas urs is so nutritiously balanced dat it will energise u 4 d afternoon and give u a pep in Ur step to do a workout or go for a jog l8r Chow Chow 4 now

Hey Saddlebags Hope work went well today and dat u enjoyed Ur packs Think I'll try out d Zumba on Fitness tv at 7 as I'm certainly feelin d cold today. Hope Ur winnin and all set 4 WI in d morn

 

[Saddlebag]

Hiya Shoebedoo! Well I had a big moody today, because my Exante packs were due to be delivered, I'd written on the delivery notes for them to leave them down the alleyway as they did last week. But they didn't! Just left a note that the dog chewed up and said they would try again tomorrow! I emailed Exante and they were good, tried to get interlink to redefined today but they wouldn't. So I was having a right panic as I'm really busy at work tomorrow and would have nothing to eat! Luckily I finished work early and drove to the parcel depot and collected my packs. What a relief!
I've been really hungry today, but kept to it and put a bit of extra cucumber in my soup tonight. Looking forward to weigh in, we've been so committed I'm expecting good losses from us both! Hope you're enjoying the zumbathon, it's so funny! I'm really tired tonight so just gonna chill out as tomorrow I'll be doing a lot. Let us know how it goes

 

[shoebedoo]

Hey der What a panic u had 2day Isn't it crazy dat d post person didn't just leave d box at Ur back door My boxes were delivered to my bro in laws hse OMG I was ragin but so relieved dat it didn't have Exante sprawled all over d box!!! Phew!!! None of der bees wax!! Ha ha!!
Glad u got dem!!!
Think d Zumba certainly gets one moving- but is very different to a structured class but probably enough 4 d cals we r on!!
So what did u order? Ive only 2 boxes of Ultraslim Tesco bars and loads of shakes and porridge left! Must count dem as prob takes 4 days 4 delivery to Ireland.
Yes I'm excited re tomoro!! Had a mug of bouillon Gr8 way to warm up Will have a shake in half hour as left it very l8 yday and d banana shake was talkin to me when I went to bed!! D joys!!!
Well NJoy Ur evenin

 

[Saddlebag]

Hey shoebs! Yes the Zumba isn't a work out like a body combat class or something but it warms you up when it's chilly.

Soooooo..... First week's loss is 7lbs. Which isn't bad but I was expecting more for my first week, especially after no cheats.

Hope you get a good loss and have a great day!

 

[shoebedoo]

Hey Saddlebag Dats fantastic I've just stood on d scales and have lost 7 lbs 1/4 oz Thrilled to bits!!! Gotta up the water and exercise this wk!! Have a gud one!! PS hope u like d porridge

 

[Saddlebag]

Well done shoebs! Weird how we lost the same?! On reflection today I was a bit ungrateful with my 7lb loss... It's half a stone! What's not to like?!
Didn't have porridge this morning had a shake, porridge tomorrow though!
Treated myself tonight with some real food! 100g of lettuce, 100g of turkey and some cucumber, stir fried with a little sesame oil and soy sauce. It was yum and now I am stuffed! I'm hoping that the real food boosts my metabolism. My meal shouldn't kick me out of ketosis as it was really low carb, and low calorie too. I'll do a ketostick later to check.

 

[shoebedoo]

Sounds scrumious hon!!! Well done keepin it low carb!! Ru contemplating Slim n Save??? Amazin readin through d forum how many r switching over! I don't like counting days I prefer to think of Wed as WI day Keeps me focused!!! Wee confession to make......I went to d toilet a half he after WI this mornin so had to step on d scales again and.... I was another 1/2 lb down!!! Scales away til next Wed! Will stick with earlier WI
Head was bit lightheaded durin dance class Just enjoyed porridge Absolutely scrum Hope U agree I boil d kettle Empty sachet into a deep bowl Add boilin water Mash with a fork Put in micro 4 a min. Be careful if u add too much water it cud boil over in d micro Use a tsp to savour every mouthful Drink loads of water afterwards Let me know!!! Did u manage to fit in some exercise today? Weather awful er Too much rain

 

[Saddlebag]

I have thought about slim n save yes but I just bought I month's worth of Exante so it won't be for a while! I like the idea of a proper meal at night rather than soup. Not sure I can stomach soup over the summer!
Hope you got outer your dizzy spell, it'll be the low calories. Looking forward to my porridge tomorrow, a change hooray!
Didn't get any exercise done tonight, had a big argument with the man so I'm feeling really grumpy and he's ruined my otherwise good day!

 

[shoebedoo]

Hey Saddlebags Aren't men d pits.... Der such selfish individuals D only gud thg dat I luv after an argument is dat d hse ends out gleaming as I use up all my frustration scrubbing it! Thank gudness der few and far between coz I h8 a hse dat looks more like a hotel... It's gotta looked homely and lived in!!! Hope he cops on and apologises... Better start grovelling or he won't get fed!!! Hee hee..... Well another day dawns Tummy feels bloated today.... Think I had too much wheat yday as had Ultraslimbar and 2 porridges Lookin forward to a hot CHoc this morn
NJoy d porridge.... have a gud day now ya hear!!!
Rooting 4 ya!!!!

 

[shoebedoo]

Hey Saddlebags How was your day??

 

[Saddlebag]

Hiya Shoebs, day wasn't brill to be honest, started off with porridge at work which was awful, think I might see if I can return it and swap for shakes. Whilst I was eating it, four boxes of cream cakes were being passed around for someone's birthday, obviously didn't have any but they looked lovely. The porridge made me feel poorly and had tummy ache until my bar at 2 which seemed to settle it along with lots of water. Chicken soup at 6 wasn't good either, I decided to try and mix it up with a fork rather than mess about with the whisk- it didn't work and I got lumpy soup!
So tomorrow will be a better day, hopefully! The man is still not talking to me, I've tried to build bridges but he won't answer the phone or text so I've had it, not making any more effort for a pathetic argument that he started anyway! Bloody men. Glad I've got the dog to keep me sane, he's always nice and doesn't answer back...
Oh, and I didn't have any bad effects from my stir fry last night- think it helped actually. I felt really full up until this morning rather than feeling famished and I'm still in ketosis, result

 

[shoebedoo]

Ah Saddlebags SOz to hear u had such a crap day with Ur sachets and Ur OH- dats a pity u don't like d porridge as I luv it!! Gas how tastes differ and Ur soup sounded absolutely horrid- nothin worse than lumps. At least u can try it again usin a hand held blender at home!!

Well I'm glad Ur givin him d silent treatment right back at him coz d CHEEK of him not willin to back down or agree on some compromise!!! My gudness der r times I reckon we have to have d patience of a saint to put up with der grumpy moods......and to think dat WOMEN r meant to b hormonal at d TOTM, MEN r hormonal all mth round if ya ask me!!!!!
I blame der mothers 4 spoiling dem rotten!!! We have our work cut out with dem!!! SO glad Ur dog won't b taking sides ..... They r such clever, loyal pets.... Pet it has sensed ders smthg in d air and is even more affectionate towards u.... NJOY... won't b long b4 ur OH sees sense and comes grovelling back !!!

Ladies well today was a little better, had my shake and bar and drank loads today but felt nauseous all day so maybe it's not the porridge? Perhaps the vits are just getting to me. Tomato soup later and will use a whisk this time! I'm hungry today, not sure why.
The boy is just childish, doing my head in, not stressing about him though because he is very childish so will leave him to it.
Going to a party next Friday and the girl who's party it is has spent money per head on food so will have to eat- it's curry so will pick wisely and lay off the rice etc.
