Thank you :) i've decided to go to the gym tonight as my chest seems fully better :) i will take it pretty easy as it's my first time there. I'm going to concentrate on the bikes and the rowing machine tonight I think.
I stepped on the scales and somehow i've put 3 quarters of a pound on :/ I'm sure it must be water or something because I have eaten clean all day yesterday. Yesterday I even resisted doughnuts and muffins that were provided by work!
Today's food diary:
Bbreakfast: beans, 2 mini slimming world muffins (spring onion, chopped bacon medallion, 1 egg and mushrooms), 1 wholemeal toast with 100ml apple juice and water.

Lunch: I made some wraps using just one beaten egg last night and they turned out pretty well (although i've not tasted them yet) i'll have 2 wraps with half a bacon medallion and a hashbrown (grilled) in each with a little tomato sauce. 2 oranges.

Pregym snack: 1 warburtons thin with peanut butter and chopped banana.

Dinner: 3 HEK chicken sausages with mashed potato and gravy :)
 
Hey Feel Good, going gym for first time must be exciting,so are you going to use treadmill too with rowing machine and bikes? Because if I would start going to gym I would love to use them.dont worry about those 3 quarter of a pound that must be water, hope you will see a healthy weight loss tomorrow. kudos for resisting those doughnuts and muffins I don't know why my friends are offering me more treats now while I am on weight loss then before when I was not.
 
Mm i love those heck sausages - the chicken italia ones are amazing. Once I've finished my veggie month I'll be ordering loads! although think they do some veggie stuff now?
 
First day at the gym...
So i thought i'd write a quick post about how my first gym session went. I walk around a mile to get to the gym so by the time i got there my legs feel pretty warmed up and I was focussing on my legs today :) I spent just 1 hour at the gym as my partner is unwell and I didnt want to ober-do it. I spent the hour on the bikes and burned 300 calories which i was ok with as every little helps :) I felt a little awkward at first as everyone in the gym was clearly smaller than me and all were able to run on the treadmills etc. I felt a few eyes following me but I didnt let that bother me as at least im making positive changes to my lifestyle and trying to lose weight :) Anyway all in all I did enjoy being in the gym environment and I think it will give me a good opportunity to destress and clear my head after work innstead of bringing the problems of my clients home with me :)

I don't feel guilty around food anymore and I am starting not to feel that adrenaline rush/anxiety when I am around food. The voice in my head is still there but now when i eat its saying "it is ok to eat this. This is healthy"

That is really good FG & is a great attitude to have around food. Food is nutrition or Food is my medicine are good mantras to have in your mind.

I'm glad your 1st gym experience was a good one. People always check out someone new & most will be thinking "good for you".Any that aren't are not worth worrying about. I am enjoying seeing the positive changes you are making in your life. You will go from strength to strength. Weight fluctuates so much & I would try to only weigh once a week if you can. Cheers, Cate.

Thank you cate :) i am enjoying learning more about myself and my body instead of just hating it :)
 
You're welcome. I look forward to the day that you appreciate your body hon. The more you learn about nutrition & exercise & what is best for you, the better you will feel about yourself & your body. It is worth loving. We are capable of more than we ever think we are xo Cate
 
Day 17 - feeling achey!
My legs feels a little achey but not uncomfortabley so. I think the extra water i drank didnt pass through until around 3am because i was up in the night a few times for the toilet which was a little fristrating. I'm going to the gym again today (hopefully with my partner if she can be bothered and if she is well enough).

Breakfast: 2 chocolate wheatabix and skimmed milk

Lunch: 2 slimming world mini muffins (1 egg, spring onion, a mushroom and a bacon medallion) with spaghetti hoops and an avocado, blueberry, strawberry and spinach smoothie.

Pre-gym snack:

Today's food:
