First of May – My New Way

Ooh chocolate chocolate yum :D might have to treat myself tonight :D

Glad you had fun on vacation and did better than you expected
 
Glad you had a good weekend! :)

Love hearing the candy stories. For me it's either peanut M&Ms, Skittles, or Reese's Peanut Butter cups that always do me in. I've been getting better and better at avoiding them though. :)
 
Didn't list my food yesterday, still counted cals of course and had 1750. Will not post my food this week, time to see if I stick to the diet when I don't have to display every thing I eat.
Today I will do 45 min cardio and some gardening. Have been invited to a bbq this evening (fish, fruit, potatoes and veggies) cals will be fine, aiming at 1500.
 
I think what you guys are calling candy floss, we call cotton candy....got sick on that stuff when I was a kid. All I remember is puking pink! Havent had any since then.
 
Really good, we had salmon and cod from my father's friend who is a fisherman, potato salad with spring onions, apples and a mustard dressing, garden salad and fruits. However bbq ended in watching a movie (and eating lots of popcorn..)
Earlier this month I'd applayed for an education (a bachelor of 3,5 years studying) and I will get the answear next week. As date gets closer I feel more and more pressure and concern and to be honest I haven't exercised today or counted cals. Feel like I am in limbo, really want to get in at the school, am in a dead end and sick of what I do now.
 
I hope you get in! Maybe exercising will help you get your mind off it! At least while you're doing it, and hopefully it will boost your mood afterwards.
 
Thanks girls, I read a financial trade before I had the children and it's just not me anymore.
Yesterday I completely forgot to drink anything and I woke up all dizzy and with an awful headache.
You're right girls, I need a gym visit, I will squeeze it in this afternoon.

Ooh hope you get in :) good luck
 
50 min treadmill in one go, stamina improving. That was the good of the day.
Have not been counting calories, well just counted 250 at breakfast and then I let it go. So annoyed at myself! MUST count every day the rest of the week otherwise I am back to listing everything I eat in my diary. I rather not, I should be passed it. We'll see :/
 
Do you use an app? I love my MFP app on my phone! I always have it with me so it's super convenient.
 
I have a simple cell phone which can't download most apps, I normally write down everything I eat in a notebook program and copypaste it to my diary after dinner (weigh my food on a scale and just add food to my plate until I reach the wanted amount of cals) and it works fine, it's just me having to continue doing that without posting the list in here. I took the jerk's free ride yesterday and the day before. Stupid me.
Today back to taking responsibility!
 
I'm just starting to add my calories up and learning about portion control. A little late in the game, but it's helping. I'm hoping after a month or so I'll have a good grasp on what I should be eating. It's all a learning game and there will always be some give and take. Don't be so hard on yourself. As you said, just get back to taking responsibility and you'll be fine! :)
 
Hey good job on the 50mins. Best feeling when you can do more than you are used to. Get back on track with counting calories for the rest of the week like you said. After a while you do get used to it and can judge it without having to weigh/measure/record everything :)
 
Thanks Mandy, we get there eventually.
Keeping and growing motivation is a struggle sometimes, but I have noticed that making small efforts actually pays off really well. I tend to sit and wait around and do a brain storm or to do list on a paper, but time and things never do get perfect.....
Doing a couple of small things one day boost my motivation the next day, I've learned.
So yesterday I spent the evening baking gluten free healthy breads and buns to put in the freezer, and now it's Friday and I just got home (the kids will be here in two hours) and while cooking a bolognese with lean beef and lots of veggies I am also sorting my books and a pile of recipes.
Food is excellent so far, need to stick to the dinner portion I've planned and eat some slices of melon when the kids have their Friday candy.
