I had a nice time last night at the dinner party type thing. It was supposedto be at a restaraunt but the guy who arranged it couldnt find a baby sitter so we got food delivered. I ate too much and probably drank about 2 bottles of wine. Im not gonna go out for dinner for a while now! Cant be bothered for these little set backs every week.. Will probably be back to my pre dinner weight in a few days. Just 20 pounds to go!
I bought some white jeans recently that are too small. I can nearly fit into them though! A few more weeks i think.. Then maybe i can fit into my old black skinnies that ive been aiming to wear again.

Guild Wars! I played a few years ago and stopped. I saw footage for GW2 a few weeks ago so I decided to start playing again.
More of a stress relief thing than anything else though.

Ahhh im worn out. Finished work for today. Going to go to the gym soon, and then i have to babysit for a bit. Today is going good food wise. I ordered a "healthy baguette" for lunch, lots of salad on but also cheese and egg, so im just having something small for dinner, then whatever my calories allow me after the gym.
My boyfriend wants to go out tonight, but im not sure. He's working until 9 so he'll probably be very tired anyway. I dont want to go out drinking really.. rather wake up and be lighter tomorrow morning than drink and eat too much and gain a bit.
Food today:
-cheese and low fat mayo sandwich x2
-baguette with ham,cheese,egg and salad
-hot chocolate
-cup a soup
-banana
-a few small biscuits
-2 caramel snack a jacks
-tuna sandwich
-small packet of crisps
-some chips
-chocolate bar

Congratulations on learning dutch.
My advice, give up your weaknesses altogether. Sorry i know you didn't ask but i find it hard not to do that.
I have quit all forms of (not fruit obviously) sugar, even on my porridge if i have it and its great. I don't miss it at all. When i binge, its mainly on icecream. I can't stop myself eating once i start eating sweet foods. But chocolate is part of that whole scenario too. I don't miss chocolate at all even though if you give me a block i have to eat the whole thing. Actually i don't miss anything when i take the option to quit those foods.
Like you i have and just had that time of the month binge. I also got really moody this time. I think its a hormonal thing. I am just going to do it if it happens but resist it if possible and then jump back on the wagon as quick as possible afterwards. If its only once a month, it shouldn't upset progress too much. And it may not be every month either.

Thanks for your input fourtyfour. Well sometimes i can go for weeks sticking with my diet and other times i have a bad day twice a week or something. So i guess atm im taking 2 steps forward and 1 step back, which is slowing me down but yeh its my own fault, sometimes its hard to resist..and i dont think about the consequences until later on. But im gonna keep going slowly moving forwards with this.
Yesterday i did quite well, still snacked a bit at night after the gym, but was under my calories. Still not checking the scales..and it feels kinda better not doing so, hopefully in a few days it'll show something nice. If i can stick to my calories.
Dutch class this evening. Yay. lol, but it is kinda good, when im at school i dont eat anything so theres less temptation.
Off to work soon. Yesterday it felt like there was not alot of work to do so i was constantly searching for what i can do and thats annoying, i prefer it when they tell me what to do lol. We'll see how it goes.

So. Two successful days eating wise. Had no time to exercise today but ill be going to the gym tomorrow evening. That time of the month is almost here so that doesnt help things, but yeh cant do anything about it. Hopefully the weather is looking up tomorrow, it was supposed to be a really warm week but so far its terrible. I tried on my white jeans tgat im waiting to fit into earlier, my ass is too big lol and my thighs.. Maybe in a few weeks.

Yesterday was not bad. I ate a little too much.
Thia morning ive weighed in at 163.6 which is only .4 difference than my lowest weight from last week. So thats cool! hopefully by the weekend im down a bit more. Just gotta keep this up, sticking to my calories.
I went running last night. I didnt feel like the gym. Im slowly getting better at running which is nice. I always think it might save my life one time haha. Being able to run. So im gonna keep going with that too.
My boyfriend showed me an article yesterday about green tea and how it helps weight loss. I read around about to see if it was true and it seems to be. So im going to drink a few cups per day and hope it helps. I have green tea with lemon and put a bit of liquid sweetner in and its quite nice.
I have dutch class again this evening, and then i dont have to go for 2 weeks yayyy xD
It's nice to have all of my evenings back. More time to work out also.

You are right about the running. I am afraid to start doing it now. My father's doctor says anyone over 40 shouldn't run. Well i don't know. But i am sticking to the long brisk walk at the moment. Its all about the knees but when i did run, god i loved it. It is hard in the beginning but once you get your fitness up you feel so much better. I think my fitness at the moment is ok. I don't puff and stuff when i do work or things.
I think its really really important to bring fitness into our lives in a regular way. I
Sorry i am just waffling. I am trying to follow other peoples diaries and encourage them if possible.

Well i dont know about not running after 40, never heard of that actually. Its a shame if you cant do it anymore. Its alright, running. But i think i dont run properly lol. My boyfriend said that at least. But I dont know how to correct myself really. Also i feel a bit wobbly when i run lol, my belly wobbles and my butt which is not that great..it'll go away soon enough i hope.
Had a nice workout at the gym last night. 35 minutes on crosstrainer which says i burnt 450 calories. 20 minutes on the treadmill with a bit of jogging, 150 calories. Eating was good yesterday too. I weigh the same today as yesterday so thats okay. I did eat extra because of the workout.
Now to stick to good eating today. Will do another workout tonight. Probably going out to the pub tonight. Im gonna try not to drink, will have water/diet coke. I can do this! lol

Okay so I'm back on here again! it's nice really, to browse everyone's threads sometimes. I've had a bit of a hectic last few months, at first i was doing wonderfully and went down to about 158lbs but unfortunatly ive gone up to 165ish atm ah well!! it's not that much i guess, although I put it on very quickly with some fucking hardcore binge sesh's. Been back on track again since thursday last week, and im not weighing myself very often. I know im eating right and trying to put a bit of exercise in so i dont need to check the scales that much. (will see how long that lasts)
So to keep me in check a bit i'm gonna start posting my food and such on here.
Today so far!
2 eggs scrambled, wafer thin ham, chedder cheese, tomato ketchup - 215
1 bun with beef salad - 170
1 23g pack crisps - 108
2 glass light orangeade - 20
2 crackers with pate - 98
shnitzel, boiled potatos, peas and carrots - 353
1 small piece of toast with nutella - 106
1 banana -120
Salad - 140
1270
On a good note i did manage to fit into those 2 pairs of jeans that ive been aiming for!! but they're getting a bit tight again these last few weeks! they will be loose again soon

Ive been working out these past few days with the help of my iphone. I found this free app which is sorta useful. You just basically choose a workout and get going, and it says like now do 1 minute of crunches, 15 seconds rest and so on. It seems to be going quite well. I woke up yesterday with most of my body acheing apart from my abs. So i did an ab workout program yeterday. I might not do any today. I should probably go for a run/bike ride or atleast a walk we'll see how that goes. I dont have much motivation at the moment, sitting at home unemployed. Kinda sucks a bit.
food today:
2 fried eggs (minimum oil) 2 small slices of toast with brown sauce - 284
2 glasses light fanta 22
1 banana - 95
1 apple - 45
30g bran flakes with low fat yogurt - 177
Chicken cup a soup with a bun - 160
Panga filet, rice and green beans - 288
Pancakes with sugar - 300
Salad - 150
1354 total

Ok so i weighed myself this morning. For some reason im not crazy pleased with what the scale said, i think its because i weigh in kg's and the number seems too small but when u turn it into lbs it looks better haha. I might start weighing in pounds then. I only weighed myself 3-4 days ago and ive lost 0.6 kg or 1.3 lbs so that's great i guess! yay im doing it good. It's nice to know. Just munching on my breakfast now another day of job seeking, hmph. There are no jobs at the moment, really lame!
Breakfast (well brunch :S)30g bran flakes with yoghurt and sweetner - 179
1 bun with beef salad - 168
1 small apple - 48

low fat chocolate mousse - 72
1 banana - 95
2 eggs, cherry tomatos and wafer thin ham - 178
Tea with sweetner - 8
A bun with tuna salad -310
1348
I'll be updating as the day goes on.
