Fat Fighter's/Deb's Diary

I decided to change my calorie counter from daily plate to calorie king as it is Australian and I can find the foods easier. I also bought the calorie book.

Anyway this one said I have to eat 1500 calories but am going to stay between the 1500 and 1700 calorie mark, and if I don't lose weight or put on weight :( then I will reassess in a few weeks.

Ok so this is today's food intake

Breakfast - 3 Weetbix, 2% Milk, 1 Teaspoon Sugar
Snack 1 - 4 Vita-weat, Philly Light Onion and Chives Spread, 25 Grams Pecans, 2 Plums
Lunch - Chilli, Basmati Rice, 1 Glass Apple Juice
Snack 2 - 1 plum, 4 Vita-weat, Philly Light Onion and Chives Spread, 25 Grams Pecans, 1 Yoghurt
Dinner - Chicken Breast, Lettuce, Marinated Peppers, White Onion

water - 1 litre

1 Hour Walk

Total Calories - 1739

I blew it today, it was the pecans, gosh they have alot of calories.

I am feeling a lot better today less bloating in the stomach and my brain is clearer, wonder if it was all the sugar and carbs I was eating before. :ack2:
 
Well I can't believe I am back for the 3rd time. I don't have a clue what I weigh but judging from how I looked before I'm probably back to about 83 kilos. I am getting some batteries tomorrow for my scales so will update then. I am also going to join a gym tomorrow so hopefully 3rd times a charm. Will probably be doing what I did before, counting calories and keeping an eye on what I eat.
 
Well today went to join up at Fernwood, I filled in the form and have to go back at 1.00pm tomorrow to sign up as they didn't have enough staff. I also forgot to get the batteries for my scales.
 
Hey Deb - just wanted to show my support - we are a bit similar in some ways, I was 89 at my start (well this is my second run after having the kids - last time I got to 65kg's) and I'm now 66.5kg's.
It's bloody hard isn't it?
You can do it though mate, you've done it before :)
Well done on coming back and great news you've signed up for Fernwood. I've heard they're pretty good.

Someone once told me that if I wanted something badly enough, I would do whatever it takes to get it...
 
Thanks healthyjess for your kind words. Yep I know I can do it again it just feels like I have wasted so much time but I suppose it's better late than never. Yes it is hard.
 
I totally know what you mean, I'm 33 this year, and keep kicking myself for waiting this long :( but at least we're doing it now :)
 
I have just joined the 3 month Spring challenge, although for me it will be the Autumn/Winter challenge. But that's good cause at least it will be cooler to exercise and if it rains I can go to the gym.
