today so far
Breakfast: Slimfas Shake
Snack: Zone Bar
Lunch: Sandwich and Cucumber
Snack: Turkey Bacon ,Cheese, Peanuts and apple
Dinner: don't know yet

Beverages: Coffee reg & decaff, Water (2l)
Exercise: 20 min walk with the dog and I have a huge grocery list for after work
 
and almost another two weeks later...

it seems I have lost a little bit of weight. I could wear my favorite pants last Friday to a party and even enjoy the food:):)


My dog walks nicer on the leash now, so the resistance is down, but I started to run with him a little. All in all I do approx 20-30 minutes a day.

Eating is still the same, although the weekend was bad... Birthday Party to go to Friday night and overnight guests...
I had some cake and cookies and an icecream cone, therefore less fruit. I drank pop instead of water....
bad bad bad
but the houseguests are gone for the week, so I will get back to my regular eating!

All in all I am not doing to badly, if only I could get myself to exercise more. I would really like to tone up some more...I'll continue to look for the right trigger that will get me into the swing.
 
another 10 days just flew by...

Eating wasn't too bad...I have to have my treats, but it wasn't too bad (as I am finishing my cream-filled donut:()

Exercising still leaves much to be desired, but in two weeks our houseguests are leaving and we can turn the guestroom into an exercise room and the nice entertainment center gets moved into that room. Maybe that will get me going...would be nice, cause I still haven't found that motivation button. Well right now I have the perfect excuse, because we have visitors and I'm already gone all day, so we do stuff together at night.
 
and another three weeks later. We have our exercise room and I managed to exercise exactly once:eek:

Well I am still walking my Pup once or twice a day - i have bad allergies and the dog loves jumping into the field:(, so I often only take the morning walk (grass is still wet, so it doesn't bother me as much).

By diet is not perfect - I snack a lot, have icecream in the freezer and chocolate in the fridge (leftovers from May). I try to eat healthy, but lately have my sweet treats on a daily basis. Weight is still ok though and I managed to wear my favorite pants to work yesterday...I hope the weight doesn't come with delay.

Maybe I should start writing down what I eat again and shock myself into skipping the treats:rolleyes:

until next time - hopefully not such a long pause...
 
Hang in Lisa!!!!

Don't feel bad - I set up a great exercise room and have NEVER used it. I do all my exercises in the bedroom ...not what you're thinking .....:D

Isn't that a joy? My allergies are awful and walking the dog doesn't help . Every day some new pollen appears. :mad: ....

Best idea is turf all the bad stuff out and get yourself a stack of low carb/no carb treats. Atkins makes the Endulge line for those times when you just have to have a sweet of some kind.

Now there is a great idea ...

:D

Cheers for now

Nice to get and stay in pants that fit isn't it--especially your fav's. I am so tired of wearing things I hate because they are all that fits! :rolleyes: But, It is all getting loose, so....

I know what you mean about ice cream. I made an ice cream BAN in our house---special occasions only---and that doesn't mean --yay, It's Tuesday. ;) They are not pleased with me, but I told them they know where the ice cream shop is. :p
 
HI everybody, thanks for the responses...

Weezy - I can't throw the stuff out:eek:
but I will make sure that I don't eat from it everyday...the icecream i have is supposed to last all summer, so I really can't eat it too often, luckily I am able to spread it out if I know that there isn't anymore coming:D

but...here I go with writing it down so it won't get too much out of hand...let's start with yesterday...

No time for breakfast in the morning so I had a Slimfast Bar and half a Low Carb Crunch as soon as I got to work.

Snack was a Zone Bar, Lunch a Sandwich and a pepper, another snack was an apple, rest of the Low Carb Crunch bar and 2 cookies.

Dinner was a 'Schnitzel' and a bowl of vanilla icecream with chocolate cover (only a very small amount).

Beverages was coffee with milk & sugar in the morning and at work and water the rest of the day, approx. 2.5 - 3.5 litres.

Not too bad, just have to work on replacing the icecream with fruit and veggies....I can do this, I know it!!

As for exercise....I took the pup for a few walks (all between 5 and 30 minutes). That's about it.

We are moving with the office at work today, so I will count that as my weight lifting exercise...and I was packing all day yesterday - does that count???

Today so far I had my two cups of coffee with milk and sugar and a slimfast shake with protein powder.

I will update later....
 
Replace with frozen Whey Gourmet

I only have time to answer part of your post. The icecream can be replaced with a delicious frozen concoction that comes out like soft icecream, and tastes great!!!!

In an ice cube tray freeze almond milk

In your blender put:

1/4 to 1/2 cup frozen (unsweetened) raspberries, blackberrries, blueberries or strawberries

1 scoop Whey Gourmet powder (your fave flavour - Capuccino Frappe is AWESOME)

Remove 5-6 cubes of frozen almond milk from freezer tray, and in a heavy plastic bag break them some with a heavy item, like a hammer. They break easily and once broken, add them to you blender.

Set blender on low speed and let it rip for a few moments, then up the speed. Do this graudally so as not to stress the blender motor too much.

Finish on high spead, quicky pout contents into a bowl and consume immediately. YUM!

Note: If you prefer a drink, just add some cold almond milk to the blender and reduce your frozen cubes to 3.

You COULD make this with milk, but if you are lactase intolerant the almond milk is a great substitute, plus both the whey Gourmet and the almond milk are providing you with protein, so it counts toward the total protein intake.

Cheers

didn't quite work with the daily updates, but here I am again.

Last week went pretty well, still no improvement on the exercise front :eek:

The weekend was ok too, we had a very late dinner on Saturday and I just needed to have some icecream on Sunday, but the rest was very good.

today so far I had a Slimfast Bar, a chef salad, a low carb crunch bar, a cinnamon roll, one apple and a piece of chocolate.
I drank about 1.2 l of water and the usual amount of coffee.

It's a really nice day here, so I might go swimming later today...have to see, when I get home.
 
didn't work with the swimming. Matter of fact...it didn't work all week - maybe today....


Eating was as usual...little sins here and there, but nothing major.

Exercising still leaves much to be desired...still haven't found that magic button..how do you guys do it?:(
 
time for another update....


here I go about writing in Kates diary that it is a good idea to write down what you eat...guess that's why I'm not doing it right now.

Well - I only cheat myself, so I will write down what I ate..if I can get it all together - I guess it makes more of an impression if I only write down the bad stuff...if that adds up to too much - hopefully I'll find the end to this...

Friday:
a nice co-worker brought some doughnuts to work and althoug I had breakfast I couldn't resist and one wasn't good enough either - it had to be two and on top of all my regular good food I also had to have chocolate at work and later at home:(

Saturday:
actually pretty good except for the chocolate in the evening (I know I should only endulge every once in a while, not on a daily basis:eek: )

Sunday: we were invited for dinner and obviously I had to have dessert - icecream with berries - and because it was an early dinner I also needed some chocolate for the night:eek:

Monday: another nice co-worker brought something to work - similar to ricecrispie squares and so so yummy - I dropped all my snacks and fruit for it....only had my regular lunch...this even sounds worse than it felt:eek: :confused:

Tuesday: everything went well until I got home - too late to make dinner and therefore I just had fruit and yoghurt and topped it off with - guess what ......you're right - chocolate....

Wednesday: pretty normal day, but I had to have chocolate:(:(


Now from today on I will write down everything again....so far I had...

Snack: Zone Bar (chocolate mint yumm)

Lunch: Yoghurt with fruit (strawberries, banana, grapes), almonds and some turkey bacon
Dessert 2 pieces of chocolate

Beverages: 1.5 mugs of coffee with milk and sugar, 2 mugs of decaff milk & sugar, approx 1 l of water and 2 mugs of tea.

That's it for now...I will update later or tomorrow
