Starting the Gi Diet

[laurenista]

Today has been good and bad
B- strawberries and chopped nectarine topped with yoghurt and muesli
S- orange juice and a babybel
L- avocado, sliced tomato and lean bacon on multigrain toast
S- went a bit OTT on some lovely ice cream (paying for it now the spike in blood sugar has knocked me for six and I feel very sick)
D- (if I'm feeling well enough) lamb kebabs with hummus, tabbouleh salad and flat bread

Positives
Lost another 1lb
8:30 gym session
Not buying in any bad food when I went food shopping and sticking to the foods I needed for my meal plan

Your food sounds yummy, mmmm kebabs. Sorry to hear that you got sick from the sugar spike, I hate when that happens. I know eating certain foods causes me to feel sick since I started doing low GL.

 

[laurenista]

Couldn't face the kebab tonight so I've decided to have it for lunch tomorrow.

Had my first early start at uni today and feel it went pretty well! Had breaky before leaving the house and took my 750ml water bottle for the morning as I only had a short day. Didn't feel the need to snack till after my first lecture at 11 It probably was a bit long to wait but eating while learning basic life support is probably frowned up . I didn't over eat or indulge so that was good
Just tucking into lunch then I'll go to the gym. Don't like going this late but I'm working out around 6 times a week and don't want to get out of routine

Well the scales say another 1lb off again so I'm at my initial goal of 7lbs off now going to set another goal for the last 12lbs off by easter!! Hopefully won't have much of a weight dip and it will keep just chipping off

Upped my jog speed on the treadmill
Haven't given into a craving yet even though it's totm
And I'm another 1lb lighter

Extensive list today it's been a good one

To add to yesterday's I had a choc bar yesterday but only ate half which is about 3 squares (amazing for me as it was a Cadbury caramel bar that had been in the fridge and was all lovely and solid... My fave! And I used to eat chocolate to the ton most days)

Ohhh Cadbury caramel bar, and in the fridge mmmmm yummy! I would have had a hard time putting it down.

Isn't it a really wonderful feeling to clear out all the old now baggy clothes? I know I enjoyed clearing out my closet

 

[laurenista]

It was hard going but I just thought about the half pound that might put back on me if inhaled all in one
Dinner was lovely and I'm now relaxing with my kindle as I've been volunteering as a play therapist tonight need to chill
