Ria-Lou's round 2 - Determind to get the weight off this year!

[pippalata]

I know with running lots of people find MFP underestimates .... I think it really might be a case on case basis though! HRM would be the most accurate xxxx

It used to tell me that an hour of Zumba would burn 600 cals and I'd find I would never come even close to that so I stopped trusting it when I got my HRM!! xxx

 

[RiaLou80]

I kept a note in my phone when I'd finished and what the machines said, and then when I updated MFP it said 162 which is what I'd worked out too - obviously the weight machines don't log the calories you've burnt so don't know if they would add up extra ones.

 

[Miss_Corset]

All this is so interesting! Someone was telling me Strava overestimates calories but it reckoned I burned 170 on my very short run last night and I was happy with that. I think it's fairly consistent with what MFP says for running at my pace xx

 

[RiaLou80]

I've never really noticed that MFP doesn't log the right ones, but mine always seem to go right with the machines in the gym.

Morning one and all - Only 1 more day till the weekend!

Well after last nights meltdown moment, I went to bed at 9.45 and for the first half slept like a baby - I dont even remember Ian coming back to bed, woke up at bang on 1am, but managed to get back to sleep quickly and then didnt wake up again till 6 when the alarm went off.
Tonight's gym night so I'm hoping that I can take my remaining frustrations out of the bike or cross trainer! :character00115:

Thursdays food:-
Pre B - Hot lemon Water
B - x1 white coffee, Rasp's and bloobs with Muller Cherry greek yogurt
L- BBQ beef mugshot and x1 small Warburtons breadcake
Pre gym - Banana
T - Homemade shepherds pie, carrots and broccoli with a splash of gravy

I need to get out from under this black cloud of not sleeping, getting grumpy, having a meltdown then feeling drained - I need to not wait for the storm to pass, I need to dance in the rain (not literally obviously - my hair would go frizzy!!!! )

Hope my lovelies have a fab day
xxxxxxx

I think it's coz I'm still very tired and drained from last night that all I want to eat is a nice cherry scone slathered in butter!

I've resisted the scone - but have had x2 slices of brown toast, grilled tomatoes and a grilled mushroom from the cafe - it's made me feel better and good that it's was a better choice than the scone.

well done on resisting that scone honey....eating our emotions or using 'feeling pants' as an excuse to treat ourselves is so so understandable...but I always find it makes me feel even worse afterwards than before I started! Breaking that cycle is hard, but totally worth it...and you proved to yourself this morning that you can do it! xx

 

[sarahc4536]

Well done on the resistance!

Food looks yum today chick x

I would have probably felt worse if I'd had the scone - so coz of the nature of the meltdown I thought 'No be better and then you'll see the benefits' It's filled me up more than the scone would have done too, so now wont be having lunch till later - although I've just had a salted caramel hi-fi - oh my days they are LUSH!!
