Thought I'd give it a go!

[xxxCazxxx]

Bit the bullet and bought a Nutribullet! Having a blend of kale, broccoli, carrots, apple, banana, almonds and flaxseed. Just tastes like a thick banana smoothie. Pretty good! I'll try to start my day with one every morning this week and see if I feel any different.

You make me laugh caz! You remind me so much of me that's something I'd do! X

I got a juicer and was using it every day but now its just sitting in the corner

Yeah, I'm sure this one will end up in a corner collecting dust too, but for now, I'm a juicing freak!

 

[heather_85]

I got one for Christmas few years back not a posh one just one of them big things. It was a novelty at first but was costing a fortune and so much waste. The bullet looks great! X

 

[xxxCazxxx]

Yeah I know a proper juicer would be good, but way too much hassle to clean. I'm hoping I'll be more inclined to keep using this. Gonna try a breakfast smoothie in the morning with oats! Woohoo! Lol

So it's been 3 weeks of no weigh, eat what I want etc and as much I've enjoyed life I feel disgusting. All my hard work pre vegas has been waster-not to mention money

What am I gonna go?

 

[carrieclaus]

I know you really don't wanna weigh, but I think if your not weighing you need to at least measure? Either weigh and plan to weigh weekly thereafter or measure? Xxx

 

[xxxCazxxx]

I feel exactly the same Heather. I've enjoyed no guilt July, but am def going to have to get back on some sort of diet very soon. Reality sucks sometimes!

 

[heather_85]

I feel like I've corrupted you caz! Sorry!

It kind of hasn't gone to plan to be honest. The idea was to go to the gym most nights like I did before Vegas and to eat sensible but without diets.

Problem is the weather has been so nice that after a day in my roasting office The last thing I wanna do is go the gym so it hasn't been a true reflection of what it would be like if I did it in say October

I don't need to measure Carrie I can see and feel it and just don't know how to sort myself out

I get embarrassed at the gym cos I know my ex personal trainer will be wondering what the hell has gone wrong

Aaaaaagh promised myself I would never let myself get like this again

 

[carrieclaus]

The main thing is you can see what's happening and I commend you for trying not to weigh but also wonder what could happen if you don't? Does that make sense? Sometimes seeing is believing and the shock might be what it takes? No weighing isn't working how you'd hoped and maybe try to do it this way again once summer has passed? Xxx

 

[heather_85]

I know I did think if I wanna enjoy the sun and not go the gym then I have to compensate with what I eat and so maybe need to wait until I'm back in gym mode. Funny thing is when I do exercise regularly I don't crave junk so it's a win win!

The thing that bugged me about fasting was weighing everything so was thinking if I had stuff I didn't need to weigh it would make life easier


My carrot and hummus and 4 cheese ravioli from m&s come to 501 cals and I love both so that could be an idea?

Haha, no I'm more than capable of corrupting myself I think I wanted a break too and, like you, had all the best intentions about exercise, etc. but it just didn't work. It was far too easy to slip right back into old habits.

 

[heather_85]

Busy week for me!

 

[Rachgleeson]

Have you ever tried the Leslie sansone walking? You can get it on you tube. I have recently started doing it and I love it.

Will have a look

So just come out the gym and it's still 25 degrees! Oh my god I was so hot and sweaty! God knows what it would be like at 6 pm!

Feel better for it now!

 

[xxxCazxxx]

Well done on going to the gym in this heat! I went for a long walk yesterday and was sweating like mad.

I think I'm going to have to start fasting again :-( I'll give it a go tomorrow and see how I feel at work. My trousers are getting uncomfortably tight. Stupid delicious pizza!

 

[Rachgleeson]

Very warm weather. Too warm at times. I was sweating terrible after doing the Leslie 3 mile walk yesterday.

I had to go back to fasting as I was getting nowhere but loving the fasting again now and I lost 6lb last week.
