World Cup final starts at 9pm and we have candy and chips, there is a 330 cal bag for me...
 
Did you enjoy the World Cup final? We watched it because it was all over the TV here. Not as exciting as the Brazil/Germany match last Tuesday. Now, if soccer was always like that, I'd be a fan.
 
Loved the action in the Bra-Ger match, this one was very boring, but I always cheer on Germany when they play so I'm happy with the result.

Seems like I can't get in gear with the exercise and the fact that it was pooring down all of yesterday did not help. Love to get my exercise early like 6 or 7am, but can't get a sitter at that time ofcourse, and late afternoon when the kids have been home all day is so ... confusing.

Could have been better..
 
Good morning Clarissa.

Thanks for visiting. Alfie came 3rd in sack race,and 1st in the 'age 4 race'. Davina, his main rival, was off school with a tummy bug. I wouldn't be surprised if he's not ill too today after what he ate at the barby afterwards.
I agree with you, I too like days when you can catch up with things you want to do rather than the things you have to do
 
Got a little lost.. Enjoying the summer and the kids. Today we spent the day at the beach, only brought wholegrain buns with ham and apples, trying to be sensible with the food. Later we had Swedish meatballs, salad and boiled potatoes at my mother's. Tomorrow I am bringing the boy and his friend to the geological center I've posted pics from earlier this year. Tuesday we are going to a bbq party (two kinds of fish and veggie skewers ..crisps too ofcourse...) and Wednesday we are going to the museum of defence to cast tin soldiers, it's just across the street from us and were build 400 years ago.
 
Enjoy your time with the kids Clarissa. Time spent with them is never wasted time, and think of all the lovely memories they are stocking up. They will never forget this time of their lives
 
Sneaking back into the diary. I got lost having a wonderful summer - ofcourse I gained. Will weigh in tomorrow if I remember.

I have joined a food logging site, I've been worrying about getting enough fibres, calcium and iron when eating gluten free and dairy free. I have logged every last bit I've been eating for two days now and it tells me that I get 35-40 grams of fibre each day and plenty of all vitamins, minerals and protein types - BUT not more than half the iron I should and about 75% of my calcium (mostly thanks to my soy yohurt has it added) . I do eat calcium tablets every day and started eating iron a few weks ago, so my suspicion was quite right. Will post today's eating later.

Aim at 1600 cals a day, completely forgot I'd eat the 200 cal soy yoghurt this afternoon and only realized it after having dinner and afters.
It's 7 pm soon and I still have a few hours of studying to do, hope I won't get too hungry - have had an awful head ache since last night too, must stay on diet path.
 
Good thing about the diary, getting to unload. This past week haven't been the most optimal to recommit to weightloss. My middle child got a concussion and was pretty sick and vomited alot for 36 hours, I have been coughing for two weeks now and it's limiting my sleep to around 5 hours a night, then I was at Work (study related) tues and wednes while also doing an asignment, a written exam. I am off tomorrow, and all of this week is a primary school Holiday so I have had to stimulate the kids as well. Later the boy's friend is coming for a sleep over (he has a diagnose and is really a handful) so I am kind of just waiting for tomorrow afternoon when he is picked up again and I can try to feel the weekend is starting (even though I have to write and read on my exam asignment ...well rambling on .. I was grocery shopping this lunch and was thinking about just drowning my hard times in a bag of chips or candy BUT I DID NOT.

When have candy ever helped anything??? It may occupie and numb the brains for a short while, but afterwards you are back where you started - just half a pound heavier with unstable blood sugar levels
 
You managed to sneak back didn't you? Welcome back! Nice work resisting the chips and/or candy. Candy and chips are good for nothing. If you'd like to be miserable they are a great help. Any other goal and they don't work. Sorry to hear about your child's concussion and your coughing. I wish you both good health! Nice work avoiding the junk food!
 
Thank you Quercus.

I cannot continue like this, just pretending everything is pretty swell and just going day by day. Some day in the near future I will slam into the diabetes door or worse. I started dieting May 2013 at approx. 329 lbs and today I am just 30-32 lbs down.
I have lost and gained the same 10-15 lbs TEN freaking times since then. I diet a week or more and then go all in and regain everything by eating a pound of candy a day… yes a pound, 2000 cals of rainbow coloured sugary junk.. My body suffers, I get rashes from the traces of gluten and I experience hair loss and it takes excessively long to get rid of colds and coughs, probably also due to stressing my body with traces of what I am allergic too. The doc says it takes the body 12+ weeks to get rid of all antibodies in the system and to get the immune system fully functional. That’s the rest of the year and a little more.
My main reason for starting this weight loss was that I WAS TIRED OF BEING THE FAT MOM – I still am, and now I am also tired of me not doing anything wholehearted about it.

So what will I do?

- I have just stocked up of all kinds of healthy vegan allergy friendly goodies like seeds, flours, proteins, yoghurts and other things rich in minerals and fibres. In addition, lovely herbal teas for the evenings.

- Stay at 1600 cals a day – thinking about letting every second Friday dinner be cals ad libitum.

- Doing one day at the time and work up a routine.

- Not being frustrated about difficulties with finding time and a sitter for exercise – keeping diet the main focus.


First goal is getting down to 124 kg, never got closer than 128 kg before I took off a few months and am now at approx. 135. That is 11 kg.

I can do it.
 
:hurray: That's a great game plan! :hurray:

Exercise doesn't need to be 30 minutes at the gym. Just figure out some bodyweight exercises that you can do in your normal clothes any spare second you get. I was doing bodyweight squats and pushups when I was working and going to school and job hunting/traveling. Every little bit helps and exercise is key to keeping your mood positive.

You will do it.
 
You are right, exercise benefits everything in several ways. It's even better than candy, I discovered (did I really say that).
I loose my motivation when I know I cannot jump my favorite, the threadmill, whenever I want.
Have downloaded some apps with yoga and old school exercises I'll give 'em a try soon.
