I just typed a REALLY long post on my phone and it disappeared!
I was supposed to come back home tomorrow but my bf asked me to stay another night. Things have been a bit rocky recently - he has got a new job and moved house and he just seemed really down recently and it was affecting us, but he has been so much happier! We had such a lovely time, really smiley and happy, and just relaxed and fun.
I didn't eat much yesterday - another good thing about him is that he is very body conscious - he goes to the gym a lot and eats well so he generally hasn't got much food in the house apart from chicken and tuna!
So, yesterday I had:
B: crunchy nut clusters
L: none - had breakfast really late
D: tomato soup, a roll, Crunchie
Was way under calories.
We watched Fat Fighters in the evening - no idea why! His housemate watched it with us and I have only met him a few times so am still nervous about what he thinks of me. I know he likes me as a person, he has told me he thinks I'm great for my bf and he wants to find someone like me! But, he is really in to his body too - he takes steroids (my bf doesn't luckily!)- don't agree with that but the results are amazing!
So, I am still nervous that he will look at me and think.... urgh, fat!
So, especially having Fat Fighters on - I felt really self conscious. It was funny though as the two boys started discussing the diets they have been on - all different sort of soups/detoxes/juices - was quite funny!
On the show they focussed on a woman who weighed 14 stone ish - what I weigh roughly - and was a size 18 dress and wanted to be a size 14 dress. They filmed her over 3 months with a personal trainer, four different fitness instructors to help, free gym, nutritional help etc... and she lost 1 stone. I was quite shocked that she only lost 1 stone over 3 months - of course, any loss is great and everyone loses at different rates, but seeing how much we manage to lose, and we are doing this ourselves, with no TV help, it made me feel really good about us lot here!!
Also, she supposedly lost 2 dress sizes but I couldn't see much difference - I work on dress sizes being trousers - I used to wear a very, bery tight 22 and I'm now a loose 18. She based hers on a dress - she was wearing a size 18 and by the end she was in a size 24 dress - but it was a stretchy material - I don't know, maybe I'm just being cycnical, but I felt that the show was just trying to prove a point - ad I'm sure she hadn't actually lost much!
I'm planning on watching the Biggest Loser later. I watched it last year and loved it. I know lots of people dislike it as the contestants are obviously working out for hours every day and have no chance to eat badly either (apart from the silly challenges!) and so they lose huge amounts each week - but I still find it motivates me.
If you look on Google for the before and afters of the series - particularly the American ones - they are absolutely amazing!
Today's plan is :
B: cookies... not the best but the only thing left in his cupboard!
L: wrap, crisps and a yoghurt
D: wrap and crisps
E: 20 mins Just Dance - will try to do more later.
I weighed in today and have lost another pound too so very happy with that!
Anyway, enough rambling from me! I'm going to go and browse the net for healthy/diet related things - January is always a good time for articles on health!
