Lozzas journey to get fit

Tuesdays food!
Breaky- Yogurt and Muesli, coffee (335)

Lunch- Cous cous salad (267)

Snack- Apple (55)
banana (90)
zucchni chips(52)
tin of tuna(75)
slice of cheese(71)
yogurt(48.5)
Jelly(14)!
Half glass of milk (73)

Dinner- 2 slices of corned beef(188) (I cut ALL fat off it, and fitday still reckons it has 11g of fat?!)
Taro-2 small pieces(35)
one roast potato(76)
beans(33)
carrot(10)
broccoli(31).

Snack- carrot. (31)
Total cals:1484, 29.1g fibre, 90.4g protein.
I'm not confident that the corned beef has the right cals, but ahwell. I couldn't stop snacking at home! I felt sooo hungry when I got home from work- ahwell, at least they all added up, I was putting in all the snacks as I ate anyway.

I resisted chocolate pudding! Even when my family were going "MMmm yum, are you sure you don't want any?" "You don't know what your missing out on". After my first no, it just made me more determined to stick to my guns.

I didn't get to the gym today- I didn't make it in the afternoon thinking that I would get to a boxing class at night, but when I got to the boxing class, the gym was closed because of a power failure! Not very happy!

I made a new cous cous salad today, with half the cous cous I put in the other salad, and added carrot this time
So the new salad has 224cals, 9.1g fibre, 10g protein, and 39.4g carbs. Getting better. I'll probably eat a can of tuna with it to bring lunch up to 26.6g protein and 300cals.

Feeling better avoiding the sweet foods
 
I love cous cous and haven't eaten it in years, your menus are very inspiring!!!
Keep up the good work, forget the weekend it happend can't be change focus on today!!!!!
 
Got to the gym this morning again and kung fu tonight
The scale also said slighly below 70 today, but not very far below- I should get more accurate scales!

Todays food:
Breaky- Yogurt and Muesli, coffee (335)

Snack: Banana (90)

Lunch: Cous cous salad and tuna (300)

Snack: Fruit pack in juice (out of apples. 66)

Dinner: 1/2 serve wholemeal pasta (162) with chicken 100g(164), asparagus(8), peas(48) and cauliflower(12) in a tomato sauce (was meant to be creamy.73)

Snack: Zucchni chips with cheese (112)
Jelly (14)

Total cals: 1458, 111.6g protein, 32.1g fibre. Good! Could be a little lower on the cals, but with both gym and kung fu it should be about right.

I was very hungry today though! I got home from work around 6 and was starving! I was going to eat the pasta after kung fu, but Chris cooked it in a hurry. Now I'm hungry again just before bed Might go get some water and get to bed!

At work, they had A LOT of junk food and lollies- they celebrate everyones birthday that month in one day. BUT I avoided all of it! The hot food smelt good, but I knew that I shouldn't. Also, I know they pay for eating things like that and coffee at the start of the year, and I don't pay for it so I don't think I really should eat their food anyway.

Time for bed!

Weighed in at 69 today!! Better stay this time!!

So I got to the gym today, but only had time for the 40mins cardio. Even then I almost ran late to work!

Todays food:
Breaky- Yogurt and Muesli, coffee (335)

Snack: Banana (90)

Lunch: Cous cous salad and tuna (300)

Snack: Half a glass of milk (73), Cheese slice (71), 1/2 serve yogurt (48.5), NUTS (123). I shouldn't have had the nuts. Ahwell, they were yummy.

Dinner: 150g Steak (281?!I cut off all the fat...)100g zucchni (21), Broccoli (15)

Snack: Apple-large (104)

Total:1462, 109g protein, 24.2g fibre. Ok, so not the best day this week, but still pretty good!!
 
Fridays weigh in: 68.5kg!!!

Cals with the friday night vegies: 1285, protein 81.5g, 25.1g fibre. Most of my food was as normal, dinner was chicken chow mein (100g chicken mince, chinese cabbage and bean shoots. Leftover didn't have any rice in it).

Friday night is normally a heavy binge night, I will pretty often eat about half a block of chocolate, 3-4 cookies, 1/4 pack of lollies, and lots more chips!
Yesterday, I brought along vegies with dip to have instead, so I had:
3squares chocolate, half a cookie and 3 boiled lollies. I think this comes to under 200 cals, the cookies didn't have a nutrition label on them!! It was a small cookie.
Then I pigged out on carrot/capsicum and celery with a small amount of dip I also had 7 pringles.

It felt really good going home a little hungry rather than feeling really bloated and sick.

So total friday cals are probably about 1600 :)

I also had a really big workout- 30min PT boxing, 1.5hrs workout then an exercise class for an hour (not a hard class). So Friday went really well!
 
Saturdays food:

Total Cals: 1391, fibre 24.2g, protein 91.1g.

Went to the footy today, lost really badly but at least we caught up a bit in the last quarter.
Avoided the cakes/hot chocolate offered- Chris's parents are really good when you say your trying to avoid the sweet food, they don't try and tempt you still like my parents!

Got to kung fu as well today and cleaned up the place a bit.
Maybe time for a bath!

Hey lozza havnt visited your journal in a while. Congratulations on the 68.5k! big change. Just curious how much do you think you need to lose? Cant be much by looking at your photos just sliver of fat left.

Anyways you have kicked it into high gear for sure! counting fat, protein, and carbs! just counting calories is a pain in the ass for me. good for you.

One more question: How is the sword training going? that sounds awesome. I wish I had the time and patience to do something like that.
 
Trying to get to about 65kg :)
Today- 68kg :D
Counting cals is a pain, but when I didn't count cals the weight wasn't budging...

Sword training is good! Only had 2 sessions though and its on a rotation basis- 1 lesson weapons, 1lesson barehand forms, 1 lesson self defence/sparring. So I won't be sword training for the next couple of weeks.
But heres a pic of it!
Thanks for dropping in :)
 
Food for today!
Breaky- Yogurt and Muesli, coffee (335)
Snack- Banana (90)
Lunch- Tuna (75), 2slices of bread 179), Margarine (51), Cheese (71), Carrot (41)
Snack- Apple (104), Carrot (41)
Dinner- Peking Duck. Pancakes (188), Duck (200), Hoisin sauce (44), Cucumber (4)
Snack- Half glass of milk (73), All bran (65), SF Jelly (14)

Total cals: 1576, 84.7g Protein, 28.1g fibre. A little high on the cals today, but the duck was YUMMY!!
27%Fat, 22%protein, 51%Carbs.
I was going to have salad at lunch, but my salad smelled funky so I decided to change it. Not the best idea to have 2 slices of bread with margarine, but ahwell.
Not enough vegies today either!
 
Todays food was ok, but dinner was round at my parents. They had a prepackaged roast turkey- I took a look at the nutrition, and 200g was the serving size, with 1550mg of Sodium!! Thats nearly 1 days worth of sodium. So my salt is WAY high today.

My cals as best I can gather are:

Breaky- Yogurt, all bran and Coffee (341)
Lunch- Leftover frittata
Butter Recipe requires 1tbs so a small amount per serve (15)
Olive oil .5tbs (59.5)
Chicken 40g (65)
Asparagus 30g(8)
Broccoli 25g (8)
Cauliflower 25g (6)
Zucchni 42g (9)
Spinach 10g (2.5)
Egg 1.3 (93)
Cheese (52)

Snack- banana (90)
Apple (104)
Mixed nuts (123)
Bread (90)
Yogurt (48)
Carrot (41)

Dinner-
Turkey (162)
Potato roasted- again, a lot of salt cause it was frozen and packaged (116ish)
Beans and carrot frozen mix (42ish)

No Dessert!!

Total cals: 1474, protein 86.9, fibre 34.4g.
So not too bad if all of those are accurate. Plus lots of salt, we'll see how the weight goes. Need to get back to those 1300-1400 cals again! Its a little hard to sustain though. Cutting out the sweets after the meal helps though- if I had said yes to dessert it would have added 350cals for a fruit pie and 100-200 cals for custard.

Need to cut back on the eating bread/nuts as a snack- or plan ahead!
 
So the scales said 69.5kg today, stupid sodium. I drunk 3+L of water over the day to try and flush it out and hopefully the weight will go back down soon.

Food!

Ooops, been awhile since I've posted, got a bit busy.
Got frustrated with my weight over a week ago. Last weeks cals weren't great, kept snacking.
This weekend I've eaten a lot of food and am around 71kg from it but it should be mostly water.
On a new diet given to me from my gym instructor- 3 days of protein only (no vegies and very limited carbs) then back onto a more normal plan. The 3 days is just to get rid of water hanging around from carbs. So we'll see how it goes!
 
I went out yesterday to the movies, but my friends were going out to a meal first. But I'm on a strict protein only type diet at the moment, so I avoided the meal, which turned out to be a good move! They went to the pancake palour. It charges $18 per meal and then $6 for a milkshake. I love it, but it would be so bad for you ( i have NO idea of the cals, except that the put a huge blob around 150g of butter on top of some of the meals), and bad for the price too! So I'm glad we decided to eat in.
Then after the movie, we went back home for tea and coffee- but mum and dad decided we needed:
1pack of cookies
2 packs of lollies
2 blocks of chocolate!!
All for eating with coffee for 9 people!
I had to avoid all of it to stay on my diet though, and it wasn't too bad- had 2 cups of tea without sugar and remind myself that I had sweet food on Saturday night, and I would get some on friday night in moderation. They don't like to make things easy...
Protein only was hard though, at the end of the day I was feeling a little shakey and wanting fruit! But I went to sleep. Once I get to the end of today I think things will be better.
Food yesterday:
Breaky: 3 eggs scrambled, coffee.
Snack: 1 protein bar
Lunch: 100g Tuna with lemon juice and pepper
Snack: 100g Shaved Turkey<---better watch the sodium on this one!
Dinner: 90g Salmon with lime juice and chilli.
At movie: Sugar free coke
After the movie: 2 cups of tea
Total cals: 1000. 116.2g protein, 37.8g Fat, 32.4g Carb.
Split: 51%protein, 36% fat, 13% carbs
 
Last couple of days on the protein only diet went well- easier than the first!
Now I'm back onto a few carbs, and feeling good! Trained at the gym and kung fu today :) More updates tomorrow!
