thanks pinky, have been doing much better today so think Im getting back on track. Heres to keeping it up!!!

Well yesterday went much better!

Breakfast: Bowl fruit and fibre with skimmed milk, apple juice
Snack: Special K bar
Lunch: 4 multigrain ryvetas spread with mixture of tuna, cherry tomatoes and philadelphia light (mmmmmmmmmm!), fruit salad
Dinner: Low fat noodles, cherry tomatoes, 2 slices cooked ham
Snacks: Banana, nectarine, 5 pistachio nuts

Despite running around like a blue arsed fly all evening I managed to get a walk in too. Really pleased with myself!

I used to go to swing dance classes last year but I had to stop coz of college work and then I didnt want to go back coz I had put on weight and was self-conscious. But I think I might go back next week. Feck it, no one knows me so why would they care what I look like and its a really fun way to get in some exercise.

Put on trousers this morning that I hadnt worn in a while. They aint tight at all. Unfortunately I cant remember if they were tight to begin with (!!!!) but I think they probably were coz I would probably have lived in them if they werent. Nice to put on something comfy.

Another fairly ok day food wise but didnt get as much chance to exercise. Im moving house today so will be on my feet all day so not going to be too worried about yesterday!

Breakfast: Apple, Fruit'n'Fibre with skimmed milk, apple juice
Lunch: Tuna/Tomatoe/Philadelphia Light on multigrain bagel, nectarine
Snack: Special K bar
Dinner: Chicken stirfry with brown rice
Snack: Popcorn

Another pretty good day yesterday. Was moving so lots of lugging bags around. Plus got walk in too.

Breakfast: 2 x polish bread with sugar free jam, glass super milk
Lunch: Pasta with tomatoe sauce, salad , no dressing
Dinner: Chicken stir fry with brown rice, 1 x bread with scraping low fat spread
Drinks : 3.5 white wine spritzer

Pretty happy!

Plus today jeans that were DEFINATELY tight before were comfie! Yipee!

Hey last few days Ive been doing fine. Managing the food and actually getting in some walking. The winteryness we're getting here is helping I think. I really like walking when its crisp outside! So as long as it doesnt start raining im sorted!!

Was really really craving something naughty yesterday but managed to make do with a cereal bar. Not at all like me so Im quite proud!

Sounds like you're doing a great job TTT! Good job on compromising with a measly cereal bar .

thanks!

Yesterday was ok again. Food was fine and went for 50 minute walk. Was going to have a snack before bed but I got upset about something silly that was going on and couldnt eat it!

Am feeling more cravey these days though. Feel like I deserve something nice coz Ive been good for over 3 weeks! i know it doesnt work like that but try telling my cravings that.

Must soldier on!

HI TTT: We all get cravings on occasions when we try to loose weight. Especially when we are on a strict diet. Are you getting enough veggies?
Looking at your diary I think you could eat some more veggies to get more nutrients. Sometimes cravings can be lack of nutrients and not just the calorie deficit (even that it the most likely suspect).

Hi Niles,

Think Im probably getting plenty of fruit and veg. I eat stirfrys and salads alot, just dont spell out what veggies are in them on here! I also take a multivitamin. I reckon the cravings are my body going 'give me the junk!!'

Anyway, must persevere!

Ahhh I certainly know that "Give me junk"-Cry... sorry since I do not speak, write and understand English 100% I did not know stir fry was veggies

Also it is a good idea to eat that multi vitamin pill.

Thanks Niles!

Well yesterday was another grand day food wise. Happy enough.

My only exercise was trawling around the shops and library! Did get some lovely bags tho! Yes, I bought 2 but they were only €9 each. And i really do need one in black and in brown

Getting excited looking around the shops at all the stuff Id love to buy when Im a bit lighter. Sometimes it makes me sad or angry but yesterday it felt kinda motivating (I suppose coz I know Im heading in the right direction). Although, Ive plenty of stuff in the wardrobe that I've "grown" out of. Will be cool to fit into my nice jeans again!

Joined the Birthday challenge! Its a long way a ways. Can hardly imagine being so much slimmer by then. Very exciting! But I think 1.5 pounds a week over 40 weeks is a reasonable enough goal!

It does sound like a reasonable goal. I also look forward fitting into some of the smaller sizes again!!!

I actually also eat some stirfry veggies every 3. day (I just steam it) .I like a Chinese wok mix of veggies very much.

Well, I havent been here too much lately. But I have been keeping with the programme. Not had a chocolate bar in over 4 weeks! A record to say the least. Also been upping my exercise and walking more. Did a walk every day since Sunday (40 mins at least) so Im quite happy. Wearing trousers today that were too tight when I bought them 5 weeks ago!

Hey Tryin'!
Thanks for dropping by my diary, figured i'd do the same with you Good Luck on your weight loss as well. A great sign is loose clothing!!! Do you keep meaurements? I used to be really anal about keeping that stuff ow my doctor keeps everything i just go to him every month.. working much better...

Good luck and hope to see ya around!!!
