Aaaarrrggghhhh i'v just written out a whole diary entry and the computer turned off and it disappeared!
To make matters worse...i gained 1/2 a lb this week!
Suppose it could have been worse though after the fiasco last week (all those
calories 
)
Anyway, i didn't even bother counting the cals yesterday i ate waaaaay too many, why can't chocolate taste like cabbage?!! I'm not one to hang around though...so new day - new start.
I lay in bed last night trying to think of a food that i really enjoyed, but that was relatively healthy and low in
calories (maybe that's why i'm so tired today? LOL). The only one i could think of was cereal. I love Kellogg's Fruit and Fibre, and their Special K. Both are very low in cals when eaten with semi-skimmed milk.
With that i've decided to do the Special K '
slimmer waist for summer challenge'. It's advertised here in the UK, you eat 1 bowl for breakfast, 1 for lunch, then a sensible balanced dinner. It's only recommended that you follow it for two weeks, so i'm hoping it will give me a head start. The only change i'll be making to it, is that i will be having a bowl of Fruit and Fibre in the morning instead to stop me getting bored.
On fitday, 1.5 cups of Fruit and Fibre = 279 cals.
10 fl.oz of milk = 155 cals.
This gives me a total of
434 cals for breakfast.
1.5 cups of Special K = 209 cals.
10 fl.oz of milk = 155 cals.
This gives me a total of
364 cals for lunch.
If i give myself an allowance of
1200 calories a day, then i have
402 cals left
for dinner...when i'll have protein, veggies, and a small amount of carbs.
I also plan to workout everyday for this challenge, just to get me into the routine of it again as i've really been slacking lately
I'll be doing an hour everyday, alternating between high and low impact
aerobics dvd's.
And last but not least...water! I'll still be drinking my
3 litres of water daily (96 ounces?) as i can easily manage this (apart from last week
).
So there you go...that's the plan! I currently weigh in at 160.5 lbs, and hope to
lose 4.5 lbs at the end of the challenge. I'd love to get to 154 lbs, but maybe this is a bit unrealistic for me.
I'v just got L off to sleep, had my first cereal of the day, and drank my first litre of water. I'll update later and tell you how my first day went
