tuesdays update

I started my day with a brown bun filled with pilchards, spring onion, lettuce and tomato and a dash of my favourite garlic and chilli sauce.

Later i had bran flakes with mixed fruit and sliced banana.

I had chicken chassaur for tea with veg and mashed potatoes

I was naughty at supper time and had 3 sml pieces of garlic bread, now i know i shouldnt have but i wasnt going to drive myself nuts by not having it, it just means il have to work it off.

Because i was up most of the night i ended up having a bowl of just the chassaur, without any veg or potato, i guess il put this bad day of eating down to stress and hope things improve again soon.

EXERCISE

I had a really emotional day today, just couldnt seem to get a grip on my emotions, so no exercise again today as im physically drained, but i will try at some point on wednesday to do a little.

Week One- Weigh In

Im thrilled to announce that i lost ten pounds in weight after my first week of healthy eating and exercise, despite being loaded with cold and cutting back on the exercise a little for a few days.

Now i know it sounds a lot but most of it will be water, but it is my biggest weightloss ever for the first week so it will help spur me on through week two,
wish me luck guys :) xxx

mondays update

Today i managed to get myself dressed up and headed into town with my daughter to look for something for easter to put on my sons grave, so im pleased i managed to get a little exercise that way.

I ate a ham sandwich on brown bread at lunch time

Curry and rice for tea, i ate this in 3 parts because of my cold grrr.

For my supper i ate a sml tin of pilchards, mixed with lettuce, tomato, spring onion, a dash of lein perrins and garlic and chilli sauce, servrd on 4 ryvita cracker breads.

When i came upstairs to write this i munched my way through a packet of velevet crunch chedder cheese and spring onion, 70% less fat and very nice too :).

EXERCISE
2 hours shopping .

Il be weighing in tommorow and hopefully il remember to get my hubby to measure me, that should keep me motivated because if i cant see pounds coming off, i may see the inches x

Sundays Update

Today ive been feeling really hungry on and off through out the day, so i started my morning with a ham sandwich on brown bread.

Later at lunch time i had 1/2 a bowl of branflakes,dried fruit and half a banana.

For tea i had 1 and a half jacket potatoes, with salad and il confess to having some low fat marg on them also as the potatoes wernt nice, rather powdery.

Tonight ive had yet another ham sandwich, (i know ,i know too much bread )
and a packet of go ahead buiscuits and i feel pretty stuffed right now.

So not a particularly great food day, but i guess it could have been a lot worse,
one thing that will keep me motivated is my sneak peak at my weightloss.
In 5 days i have lost 9lbs yipeeeeee, dont worry im not fooling myself that its all fat loss, i know most of that will be water, but it is my biggest weightloss ever for the first week and im chuffed to raggy ribbons :).

EXERCISE
no exercise again today folks, still feel crappy with this cold, but im going to try to get out a bit with my daughter tommorow if i can manage it x

Saturdays Update

Today has been a pretty lousey day for me as far as my eating and exercise has gone, i had no appetite at all until around 7pm where i did manage to eat one of my dads saturday roasts (bless him )

All night after that i kept thinking, lordy i havent eaten nearly enough so i kept trying different things such as a couple of crumpets, of which i ate one, then tried a cup noodle of which i ate half as nothing has any taste right now and im all yucky with cold.

I did however manage a sneaky couple of triangles of toblerone for energy :), im so glad its finnished now and temptations gone lol, but that im afraid was it for the day.

Although i feel like crap i am still very aware of how easy it would be to muck things up right now, so im doing the best i can whilst im ill.

EXERCISE
I got a little hemmed in tonight and had myself a few tears, ok i was a blithering mess, so my hubby suggested we went for a lil walk just to get some air into my lungs.
I was a bit reluctant at first , thinking to myself my body aches from head to toe, im exhausted from crying, but i knew he was only trying to help, so i just shoved a pair of pants under my nightie, popped my coat on the top and away we went.

We were only out for about 15- 20 minutes as thats all i could manage, and even then i had a lil sit down half way through, but hey, its better than nowt right ? and it actually made me feel a lot better too :) x

Time For A Whinge

How typical is it that half way through my first week on my healthy eating and exercising plan i get the cold from hell.

As much as i dont have the energy to be good right now, im still clinging on the best i can, i have still managed to eat very healthly today, but exercise was out of the question due to all my aches and pains.

One of the worst things is , my glands are up like balloons and my throat feels filled with razor blades, yet im trying to hold back on the throat lozengers as i understand they can be very fattening.
So ive just been taking paracetamol but the truth is, they dont work at all, so il give it another day and il hopefully make a start on the Contac, they should do the trick on drying things up a little and getting me back on my feet after a couple of days, i swear by them.
But like everything else, i prefer to let things run their natural course for a while, just to let all the toxins out, then il treat it the best way i can to get some relief and hope for the best.

Anyway, thats my whinge for today,
i hope you guys are feeling good x
