ProPoints Tano's back...

[Tano]

Had exactly as planned plus a slice of cake. As stupid as this will sound, it's like a weight has been lifted, knowing I'm not focusing on MFP any more. I automatically feel less hungry too as I'm not looking at it thinking oh no I'm not allowed to eat again which automatically makes me hungry.
Tomorrow
Porridge, coconut milk n honey

Nuts (brazil)
Mackerel with salad

Steak and salad
Protein shake

Gym tomoz night

Hey tan, don't know if ur doing low gi with ur diet but thought I'd let u know that baking a 150g sweet potatoe has a gi of 94 but boiling the poatoe takes it down to 46. These dramatic differences come from the way the starches in sweet potatoes gelatinize during cooking. Foods that turn viscous, or jelly-like, in your digestive tract have a lower GI because the gelatinous substance slows the release of the nutrients in the food - I thought it was quite interesting x x

Yeah it's really handy!!! I need to know as much info as I can like this, it makes you really think about the way you cook and prep food doesn't it xxx

Yeh def, u wouldn't think by cooking something differently it would affect it! I'm going to try n stick to low gi as much as I can. I've more of less stuck to low gi today n feel so much more satisfied than I usually do and not snacked on rubbish x x

Yes it is, I'd usually use my calories on crap n eat just because I have cals left even if I wasn't hungry x x

 

[Tano]

I feel like I've had a really bad week! I've had my cheat day on Monday with fajitas then a Rice Krispie square, 2 rest days from gym, birthday cake and some cake n custard today. I need to toughen up my act!

 

[kezzalicious30]

That's not too bad, u could have had a lot worse x

I know, I shouldn't have had the cakes. I'm not doing that again, what a waste of cheat meals! I would have had a nice cheat meal this weekend but I won't now. I need to have Saturday off too because I have a race on Sunday so I need to rest the day before. I know I've already done 3 sessions this week already and that's more than some people do in a whole week, just feel like it's been a crap one in terms of my plan

Morning

Gonna do my measurements in a bit so will update. I've got a 5 mile race tomoz so today is a bit of a carb refeed day so I'm stocked up for tomorrow. No exercise either as I need to feel strong tomoz. I'm going Pilates first, before the run as I find that makes a massive difference. I've just had a wholemeal bacon sandwich with a light spread of ketchup-no butter ad a coffee. I'm making a home made chicken balti tonight and ill have brown rice too so I'm well prepped for tomorrow. Only 5 weeks till my half marathon eeeeeekkkkkkkk x
