^ Good idea! Bring on the nuts.

:O

hope youre feeling okay today x

^ Aww thanks for asking

Food/exercise wise, I'm great.
Boyfriend wise, I'm not great. If he wants me I'm still here, so its his loss.

How are you today Sophie?

I've got my calories up a bit more today.

Breakfast: Porridge and skimmed milk - 210
Lunch: Tuna and sweetcorn sandwich, Baked potato crisps - 385
Lunch: Full can of plum tomatoes and two toast with margarine - 355
Snack: Three crackers, one table spoon of peanut butter on just one of them - 197
Dinner will be.. hm not sure. But it'll have to be no more than 319 calories.

I think I'll have half a small can of baked beans (70 cals) and one slice of toast, no butter (111 cals) and an apple. And if I'm peckish, two crackers.

All less than 1500 calories. Woot.

Got weighed on Wednesday like I said.. 155 lbs. Woot. I'm hoping for 153lbs this Wednesday. I mustnt get my hopes up too much, just incase.. cause I've upped my calories haven't I? so.. meh. I dunno.

I've done calculations, and if I eat 1500 every day for a week, and burn 2000 calories a day (I burn 1553 if I just stay in bed anyway, so I'm sure I can do 2000) for a week, then I'm gonna lose a pound a week. So.. maybe 154. I've not had 1500 calories exactly a day though, so maybe a bit more.

If I'm 154 lbs, I'll be 11 stone exactly. Which is good. That means I've lost 11 lbs, almost a stone. Yay me!

Beans on toast for breakfast!

Man, I need some change in my meals. I'm gonna look around for some interesting things to eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Something different.

Anywho, I've decided to try out this method:

Breakfast - 350
Snack - 200
Lunch - 350
Snack - 200
Dinner - 350

If I go over the amount of calories for a proper meal, I just deduct the calories from a snack. By snack, I mean things like fruit, crackers, sometimes crisps or chocolate.

For breakfast sometime, I'm gonna try:
Porridge with strawberries added
A smoothie and toast
Veggie omlett
Bagel, cream cheese and fruit
Veggie pitta breads

I dunno.. I need a variety!!!

For lunch today, I'm going to buy some fajitas, chicken and salad, and enjoy it all. Muwaha.

Either that, or some pitta bread. We'll see.

We're back together. It's different than before, I'm not sure if I like it.. but I'm happy. Confusing ey?

Last night Dave and I went to JJB Sports, and got my treadmill. No more £300 in my pocket The treadmill is great though, I love it.

After setting it up and having a little go, I made us some fajitas and we ate those and talked on my bed for ages. Eventually it got to 11:15 and we were both sleepy. Ever been tired, but inside you're not? I can't explain it but it was nice. We were kissing and touching, our eyes closed, yet we were asleep. Well, I was anyway.

He went at 12:15 am, and I went back to bed and didn't wake up until mid-day hehe. It was lovely.

Anyway, I had two weetabix, skim milk and four strawberries for breakfast. 240 calories.

Then I went on the treadmill and ran for a bit, and burned off 120 calories.

I'm not sure if I'm doing it right. Should I eat first, then do it, how long should I wait to go on it? So confusing.

Hi there! Just wanted to say hello, I'm interested in reading your journal because your starting wieght and goal weight are close to my own. I'm 5'9" and 167 currently. My goal weight is about 145 so were in the same boat (about 20 lbs to go). Good luck girl!

Lenore

^ Thank you very much I'll go see if you have a diary too.

Yesterday was a bit bad. This is what I ate:

Weetabix and strawberries - 240
Two fajitas with peppers and onions - 320
One Brunch Bar - 150
Strawberry, pineapple and banana smoothie - 120 (only had half)
Potato crisps - 150
Potatoes, cod in butter sauce and cabbage - 300ish

I can't remember anything else.. I didn't have any (normal) bread either, which is strange for me.

Around 1200 anywho. I'm gonna definitely try to hit the 1500 mark today.

My boyfriends mum embarassed me yesterday. In front of my boyfriend and his dad, and from far away so she had a raised voice, she said that my belly is getting smaller and my boobs are sticking out more. Oh, my, god. His dad was embarassed too loooool, he just bit on his lip and walked away slowly haha. o.o

I'm glad someone is noticing though. My boyfriend said he was gonna mention it the night before when he was playing with my hips, but didn't. He did plenty of groaning though.

Hmmm, weetabix and strawberries for breakfast today. I'm quite full. I'll have lunch around 1pm. Unsure what to have though. I may have more fajitas.

Weetabix, skim milk and 5 strawberries - 265
Two pepper and onion fajitas - 320
Couscous, tomato and mackerel - 230
Fruit smoothie sorbet - 100
Walkers crisps - 133
Two chocolate biscuits - 168

Crisps and chocolate was bad.. but other than that it was great.
Yummy fajitas baby. I'm thinking of what other veggies to add to this.

I made a mistake of using vegetable oil the other day, when frying the vegetables. 300 calories in the oil alone! I've started using one cal spray, so its much better. Also low calorie mayo too, and only a tablespoon.

Fajitas and smoothies. It's all good.

Hey, I wanted to stop by to tell you that you only have 5 lbs. to go before you are in the 140's!! You were thinking it was 15... Anybody 140-149 is in the 140's! (or even if you are close!)
I hope you will be there really soon.

Have a good week!
Cheryl

yayy youre back together
and aweseom on buying that treadmill. what routines do you plan on doing?

:O I'm such a dumbass lol. But in the back of my mind, I knew that.. haha.

Thanks though :O I feel awesome now Wooooo 5lbs to go! I'll be there in about 3 weeks then hopefully

I don't know lol. I just started running on it haha. I have tried walking, then running, then walking.. etc. Not sure if thats doing any good, but hm. I don't know where to begin. I guess I'll have a look for some posts on treadmill routines, or search google.

I didn't think about that though lol, I just thought woo lets run. Thanks I might benefit from routines. My legs are so sore... rest day tomorrow!

EEEEEEK, I get weighed in 2 days! I want to do it tomorrow.. and I will. I don't have college on mondays, and when I go in on tuesdays, its just gonna be torture for me. I'll have that as a little "treat" lol.

I'm really excited. I can't wait till 2008 :O 123lbs baby.

theres just different things you can try out for different effects. a lot of people like HIIT training to really boost fat loss. im sure there would be an article on it in the harsh truth section. xx

^ I'll have a look.

WOO 153lbs!!!! Lost 2lbs this week.

I'm in the 10's, 10 stone 13 lbs. :O:O:O

I've got three receipts from the scales I've used at a supermarket for the past three weeks. They are really good. Measure your body fat index too, but I'm too shy to do that I think lol.

11st 3lbs
11st 1lbs
10st 13lbs

Next week I'm hoping for...
10st 11 lbs!!!!!1
Wooooo.

If I keep up losing two pounds a week, I will be my target weight on exactly my birthday!!!

Today, I've had..

Weetabix, milk, strawberries (again) - 240
Tuna and sweet corn sandwich - 285
Crisps - 99
Half a ham and egg sandwich - 200
Fajitas - 305
Two chocolate biscuits - 168
Bottle of orange drink - 130

I was quite naughty today. MUST stop eating the bad stuff. If anything, try to get more good stuff in there too. I'll buy some wholegrain bread tomorrow I think.

1427. That is quite good, but.. I'm a bit peckish. It is quite late though (for a college day..) so I'll be going to bed soon lol.

ALSO!!!!!!!!111 YAY I GOT TWO DISTINCTIONS IN COLLEGE
Distinction = A's!!!!!!! WOO
One of two people. Oh yes. I'm happy.

Oh, and also. I saw a car crash looooool. Was funny. The guy had his ipod on, didn't hear the guy behind him beep his horn, and SMACK! Dinted the car behind him, and the guy who did it just put his foot down and drove off. He was young, in a brand new car. Hmmm.

I had a really great day today. It was awesome.

Maybe cause I've been sexually frustrated. Not had 'none' in a while.. so yay. It was lovely.

Oh and I also got a new keyboard. Lool today was great.

I've changed my ticker from my before-my-birthday target, to my ultimate target. Did I already say that though?...

Breakfast
40-50g porridge, 300ml skimmed milk

Lunch
Meatball sub, lettuce, no cheese, wheat bread

Snack(s)
One chocolate biscuit
Bag of popcorn

Dinner
Roast potatoes, green beans, cabbage, cod in butter sauce

Pudding
Two slithers of chocolate cake -blush-

Altogether, it comes to.. 1404. Not bad, but I can do with getting some more good foods in there instead of empty calories.

I bought some wholemeal bread. Is wholemeal even good? 80 cals per slice anyway, and tastes really nice..

I think I'll have less porridge tomorrow, or one weetabic biscuit and milk, and a piece of toast with it. Also bought 100% orange juice so I'll have a glass of that also. Less than 300 calories.

I can feel a difference in my legs. It feels nice to.. change.
