Lots of tears and sad Kate today but I wont go on about it. I wasn't even going to mention it but I need to be honest with myself. Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day.
 
Aw Kate, I hope you feel better soon! Just keep letting the good days stack up!!

Well done on the walking, I have to walk 2ish hours today too to get to work n back. Good times!

Thank you guys so so much for your thoughts and kindness, you are lovely..............
Cate!!!!! Thank you so much for the message on facebook, you always know what to say and when. loves ya xoxo

Had a good food day, especially seeing as it is Friday. Dinner wasn't the best but hey, it wasn't junk! lol

Busy day tomorrow I have to make spag sauce and curry for 40!!!! Not done that before.....#scary!

Thanks again for being there for me :)
 
Thats great news to read,before going off to bed.im so glad you felt better today plus you ate well.
Why are you cooking for so many? You seem so active always doing stuff!have a great night see you tommorow! Xxx
 
Good to hear sweets. I liken it to a fog, that envelops you & then it lifts. You just have to try to remember that it does lift. I'm with you every step of the way Kate. Love you too! Are you cooking for the Scouts? Good for you! There is a really old-fashioned English expression that I love & it applies to you- "You're a brick!" Lots and lots of love xoxo Cate
 
Hi All

Back again.........Holding my head in shame. I am now heavier than I was when I first started 3 years ago!!! So so angry with myself! All that hard work and dedication down the bloody drain! God, I'm pathetic!

I started today and failed by lunch time and had a f**k it afternoon! GGrrrrrrrrrrr

But, I promised Cate that I would come back when I had finished with my summer festivals. So here I am....

Seeing as today was a fail I am going to start tomorrow as day 1. I am going to use my fitbit to calculate the calories I can eat and try and stick to that. I am going to aim to do 15,000 steps a day. I have entered the great south run which is a 10 mile race at the end of October!!! I can just about run 10 minutes let alone 10 miles so I have lots of hard work to do. I have a training program to keep to (not that I have done any running, I seem to find excuses every bloody day) so hopefully that will help.

So my aims:-
Stick within what fit bit says I can eat.
Do 15,000 steps a day.
Either run or do 30 min exercise EVERY DAY!

I'm going to try and remember to measure myself tomorrow.

God my ticker is depressing :(
 
This time Kate, you are so much smarter & have learned so much more about what it takes to keep it off, once you get it off. You will get that weight off, as I know you are more than capable. Unfortunately sweetie, we all seem to have to learn the hard way. One day at a time, Kate, one day at a time. Stop giving yourself such a bloody hard time or I'll have to come over there & kick you up the derriere!(& I can't afford to do that, just yet!)
I haven't had a look at MFP yet today, but tete, Mystic & emma have added me & we can spur one another on there. It makes me much more accountable & is helping me stay under 1350 cals per day. I have a couple of other new friends on there(from a MFP group) but am having trouble making a connection with them. I love my WLF friends & will keep it at that (plus my sis.)

Hang in there sweetie. you can do this!
Sending you the biggest squishiest hug imaginable!
xoxo Cate

Welcome back Kate!!

I've also been really bad, I think the only reason I haven't gained a heap of weight is because I've been booking and paying for PT sessions so I never miss them... and I think with the exercise it makes me not eat quite as much as I could have otherwise as it helps with keeping my appetite under control. Also because I know I have to face the trainer I'm a little less likely to overeat. Though it still does happen, it's not quite so bad!

I had a couple of good weeks this month though so that's helped me heaps, it's motivated me a bit more.

We can do this, it just takes time and patience!
 
Hi Guys :)

Well I actually managed to do well for a whole day!!!:eek:

DAY 1

Breakfast: 50g porridge
Lunch: 50g porridge
Dinner: 75g porridge!!
Snacks: 2 coffees, kit kat, 2 go ahead bars, banana and some boiled sweets

Calories: 1396
Exercise: 20 min run!! Yay!! about an hour dog walking

My fitbit didn't work today the date has gone all weird (cos I haven't used it for ages!) I think I have got it fixed now.

I've had a good day. There was chocolate party cake at work and I didn't actually want any, which is a good sign :) felt good about it all today. I forgot to take socks to work so ran in trainers without them, got a blister on my little toe but I didn't use it as an excuse to not run. Well impressed with that!!!!
I have the day off tomorrow. I think I'm gonna end up spending the day doing a shit load of housework as I've been away for the last few weekends....The place is a tip! Full day workout lol.

Thank you guys. It really means a lot to me that you welcome me back, again and again. You guys rock. Thank you so much for the squishy hug Cate. Right back at ya.

P.S Ya might notice that I ate porridge all day!! We had no healthy food in.......Shop tomorrow! lol
 
Hi Goldilocks! Keeping under your cals for the day & running & resisting chocolate cake?
WELL DONE YOU!!!!!!!!
You are welcome to one of my squishy hugs any time you like, just so long as you don't have perfume on at the time. :D I'm so allergic to perfume! xoxoxoxo Cate
PS Did I say WELL DONE?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Hahaha, I actually really like porridge. And breakfast for dinner is always a fun thing to do, usually I do the same if it's time to grocery shop or I can't be bothered cooking... haha!

Well done on the run!!! I did a run/walk home from work last night... I'm not normally out and about that late (Wade normally picks me up on Thursdays but he's on holidays in the Whitsundays!) and I realised it was going to get pretty dark pretty quickly... so I was running down the main road with my backpack full of work clothes, lol. Took me about 45mins instead of an hr.
 
Hi guys.

Goldilocks lol that made me giggle :)

Day 2

Breakfast: PORRIDGE lol
Lunch: Ham, lettuce and extra light granary sandwich, low cal crisps and a nectarine
Dinner: Ham salad with coleslaw and extra light salad cream
Snacks: 3 coffees and I am going to have an ice lolly in a minute :)

Calories: 1394
Exercise: 30 min dog walk and 4 hours of scrubbing the toilet and bathroom!
Fitbit steps: 8683 I didn't do loads of walking so didn't reach my 10,000 target (I said yesterday that I wanted to do 15,000 steps a day, I think it will be hard to reach that every day so i'll aim for that on a running day)

Had the day off today and had the loveliest lie in ever......got up at 10.30 :eek: Had a last breakfast then took the dogs out, went to do the food shop and then spent the rest of the day mentally OCD sparkly cleaning the bathroom and toilet. Did dinner and then went to Explorers. Jack is doing his assessed Duke of Edinburgh expedition hike tomorrow and we were sorting all their stuff.
Home, shower........And relax. Ice lolly now, night night.
 
Sounds like a very productive day, all 'round Kate. Glad I made you giggle! xoxo
 
Hi guys

Sorry ive been AWOL but I had a busy and bad food filled weekend. It all went to shit :( I was just shovelling in anything that I could that I knew was bad. Anyway......onwards and upwards.

Today has been a better day. I have had a pretty good food day eating around 1500 calories but I have been for a run and a long walk with the dog so done about 16500 steps :) I took Cates advice and changed my cals on MFP to 1350 but decided to use the cals that I had burnt as it sync'ed with my fitbit, which is more accurate that putting in exercise manually. Even after having 1500 cals I still have 360 unused :)

I'm gonna try and not be too hard on myself and just concentrate on running as my 12 week training program starts this week.

Love and hugs. Hope I get to check out your diaries soon. Xoxo
 
Good thinking Kate. I've been using some of my exercise cals, but have introduced yet another rule that I have to earn my wine! Love & hugs to you too, xoxo Cate
