Day Dreaming For Thinner Days

Day 1 ish but not quite.

Well Restarting my diet, tomorrow after finishing my detox this week.
I still really wanted to maintain eating healthy and staying away from the usual garabage i eat. Slept about 4 hours on a count i went to bed so late, i drank a pint of water. Little later on in day had one of those cadburys dairy milk caramel min egg things as its easter. Did Some cleaning then Wii Fit, took dog for a walk. Dan came in from work to say everyone was having a drink at his mums which is just round the corner. I sat and drank water all day and night which is ace and have more or less just got in (11:30pm)
Except i hadnt hahn anything to eat except mini egg so ive ate 2 small wholegrain buns with extra light soft cheese. Not ideal! I also ate some more chocolate, I would have been fine not eating anything. Danny is drunk and left him at his mams as the party never ends! Well apparantly! I've walked home by myself. Came in and eat!! God why do i do it to myself im majorly pissed off not with Danny but with me! There is a collection of dans easter eggs and chocolate bars in front room and im eyeing them up. Im not gunna eat any but i totally want to. Im a friggin basketcase :banghead:
On a good note ive drank like 8+ pints of water.

So ive eaten equivalent to two choc bars and 2 small sarnies.

Bad Day

Isn't this depressing and inspiring all at the same time!? I laugh and cry when I do this. I want to kick myself for looking at my "thin" pics and thinking I was fat back then!

At one point I drank 56 cans in 36 hours :ack2: thats when I knew I needed to cut down. In a way I've cut down gradually and trying really hard to keep away from it and it seems to be working.

Day 1!!


Today is my offcial first day,
I offered to cover a cleaning shift in my mums pub. The way I thought of it was to get paid for a bit of excercise. Up at 8, I drank 300 ml of pure pressed O.J which was lush and great first thing!! On to water from there on.
Cleaned for two and a half hours, mopping, hoover, polishing, buffing and I was knackered when I was finished.
Came home cooked a small slice of wholegrain bread toasted then topped with dry cooked egg, with mushroom, red pepper and pasata. First time ive ate peppers but was okay and quite full now.
At work 5-8, as a barmaid this time and gunna go do running when get back and cook tea and try have an earlyish night :D

I was thinking about the water and may have over done it yesterday, soo going to take it easysier on it todayhad 3 pints already will have some more later
 
you go girl!

nothing harder than dealing with temptation.. I easily succumb to chocolates and cookies gah! but you can do it and it is well worth it. remember to reward yourself after you meet your small goals and that a little candy can't hurt, we just need balance in our lives.
take it a day at a time and if you feel you are falling just come up again. having a chocolate isn't the end of our diets, we just have to continue working hard. xoxo!
 
Just remember that you can have most anything in moderation (6 slices of pizza is not moderation lol) I have a weakness for pizza and mexican!
 
I went through the exact same thing as you! I moved to another country for 6 months and ended up gaining 30 pounds!

Good luck with your journey! YOU are beautiful! You can do this!
 
Got in from work an hour ago. While I was at work I ate the half of parmasean that my brother left :banghead: it was only a small piece but still I shouldnt have bothered with it. As soon as I got in I've cooked my sister a lovely meal!! Lean diced beef with chopped tomatoes, peppers, mushrooms, shallots, chilli, garlic, cumin, cayenne pepper, oregano and whole meal pasta seasoned. Stored 2 portions one for dan when he gets in from work (on nights) and I've left my self a portion for tomorrow except I've made mine into more of a soup as only made 2 portions of pasta d'oh! Stayed away from diet coke but i did have another orange same 3 pressed oranges fresh but its not good as alot of sugar in it. I'm just gunna have a lite salad instead of have a full on meal.
Going to walk the dog a couple of miles and then do my couch 2 5k!! When no one is looking :D Gunna weigh myself when i get in but wont count it as a loss till thursday when i get weighed properly. Gunna take some pics to keep so i can compare over time :)

Hey Asphalt :) I'm good i worked most the weekend inthe pub which is pants but this thursday and friday im off rock weasling and abseiling yey!! So excited. Totally i need to get myself moderation way of thinking ive bought some mini scales, spoons, and cups and gunna try stick to them measurements if i dont get too confused :D Im not thick honest :angel:

Hey Amiba - you go too lol!! I dont really have a specific thing i love its a collection of stuff the group has a name it goes by.........
FOOD :coolgleamA: Well everytime i lose 4lbs i treat myself to stuff like a top, makeup, or a bake a cake share it with everyone and have a slice!!

Hey Kimmy, where did you move to? Totally sucks, worst is I never really noticed the weight gain. I knew I'd put on a few pounds but that was it lol I wish I realised then because i would have gain so much weight :( Thankyou so much :) I dont feel beautiful at all, but working on that :D So thanks!
 
Did my couch 2 5k it was okay and i expected my self to give in straight away, i did cut the last one but that was by accident :S Done abit of wii fit, hula hoops. Walked the poochay.

Lost my memory card from my camera :cuss: Its a really expensive camera and needs an expensive card so well peeved So no before pics till i get one.
Debating wether to have a late night, its already 1 am here :(
 
Day 2

Got up at 8 again. Covered the cleaning shift again, had my OJ 3 pressed oranges. Went home had a lil nap because i was really tired lol Went back to work and had an egg salad. Went straight to Aqua aerobics worked out hard for an hour!! My muscles are still sore. Came in have eaten 2 small apples and a bananna and soup from last nite.
 
Day 3 :D

Got up early went to work, had a 200ml of diet coke only becaus ethere was no OJ. I thought about it as I felt guilty and let down that I had one but it was a small 200ml bottle of diet coke and its my first in 4 days and compared to my usual of 4 litres plus a day. So I've stopped beating myself up.
When I got to work was told there was a mix up and 2 staff were instead of one so i offered to go as no point paying 2 of us. Walked 10 mins to decorating shop, bought some supplies (decorating my full house!) and walked back to the pub to wait for my lift. Cooked Dinner for Dan and I, this is what we had -
200g jacket patatoe each

The rest of the stuff is between us.

1 lb of E.lean beef mince
Orange pepper -1/3 of small size
Red pepper - 1/2 of small size
Mushrooms - 3 small ones
1 Shallot
250g of pasata
85g seasonal bayleaf, mixed with 2 small chopped apples
Seasoned with fresh oregano, ground cumin, crushed chillis, garlic.

I've attached the picture of before and after what ive eaten as finish my half of the salad. Ate half my portion jacket and chilli because i got full. Saving the rest for tonight. Not sure of the calories but will put in fitday and see. Been drinking plenty of water still.
Bit sore from aqua aerobics but get my new shiny treadmill tonight!! Will be doing my running tonight.

oh hun sorry about your card!
I use the same cards and those little bastards are expensive. I lost one once and it was awful.

your food looks delicious! if only I ate red meat lol
aren't you struggling with portions now? it is amazing how the body adapts. half a salad and some lean meat seems like a never ending plate.

congrats on your treadmill I am sooo jealous! if I had space/ and could afford one lol, I'd have one, but I like my stationary bike, also when I want to walk-jog I'd rather do it outside to change my exercise routine a bit. but I am still jealous :p
xoxo!
 
A little bummed :(

Ive just got in and have a mega busy day tomorrow as taking my youth project rock weasling very very early and i have to go tend for my uncles pigeons, chicken and geese before i even goo.
Never got the treadmill today :banghead::banghead::banghead: Confusion about delivery not going to be here till next week now. I weighed myself unofficially and have put on 2lbs, im wearing differant clothes which i hope thats the reason and im holding water or something. I get weighed properly at class tomorrow.
Still havent found my memory card for my camera :banghead: I just wanna go crawl in a hole at the minute :cry: A good thing is ive just finished of my dinner for tea and dont want to snack at all.

My daily in take for today was Fat (37%) Carbs (34%) Protein (28%),
Cals 967 Fat 40.2 (g) Carbs 87.6 (g) Prot 67.6 (g)
Cant find my fibre intake on fitday. Tomorrow i have to take pack lunch so im just gunna take the same sort of salad again apple and bayleaf. I enjoyed it today. I think my fat intake is way too high and stuff tooo.

Bahhh humbug

Mike - A jacket is a baked patatoe.
Amiba - Thanks i love cooking and that is one of dans favourite meal. I think there was too much on my plate. Feel like im eating too much gunna try to stick to veggies and friut like yaself. There isnt too much bad stuff in them. I'm making spagetti bolognese tomorrow hopefully when i get in from work. Gunna have a salad with it too fill me up that bit extra! xox

My carbs are way way high, almost 200 a day, but i'm extremely active, also I'm a dude etc.

I would eat potatoes but I'm trying to cut right now, when i start bulking to build mass I'll eat some here and there
