Put DOWN the Nutella!

Your food alway sounds so yummy (though as a picky eater I would subtract some things from it haha). Come cook for me?
 
MrVee- Those mudcake bites were ADDICTIVE! I think I ended up eating most of them in one day hahaha. Oops! Lucky me now though, I made some banana muffins that my husband LOVED so I think he's a bit more open to my baking again. Got a few I'm going to test on him this week lol. Banana muffins will also be up in a few days!


Mystic- Hahaha I do tend to just throw anything I like altogether... which is why my pizza ended up so tall! Good thing about pizza nights though is that I don't really have to make anything completely different for my husband, just a couple of different toppings (he's fussy too lol... he wouldn't have had capsicum!) Lol if I cook for you you have a long way to travel to come n get it!!


Been super perfect today! 100% to plan. I'm going to make sure this week is spot on, REALLY want the scales to go down. I looked on the food program I use which has a weight log on it- this time exactly last year my weigh in was 66.5kgs, then my next weigh in was like 65.4. So right now I'm going to try competing with me from last year lol. Weight losses were pretty steady and big back then too, but I think it's mostly because I wasn't walking/ exercising/ moving so I was losing a lot of muscle tone at the same time. So yea... going to beat past me!!! I'm eating and living much healthier now than I was last year too, so it can only help!
 
Morning everyone!! Aw looking after my husband today, he's been really sick all night (well, he still IS sick too!) So quiet movie/ gaming day today. I put up the banana muffins recipe today, he really liked them which means they're good lol (or maybe he's getting better trained?) My stomach is settled again today, guess yesterday was a (not so) gentle reminder as to why I don't drink alcohol too often!

xxxxxxxxx
 
Thank you both, he was feeling less vomit-y and more human in the afternoon so that was good. he's back at work today.


I had the best breakfast this morning (I swear I say that every day now lol) I had a homemade English muffin with eggs, avocado and uncheese. It was so freakin awesome. Have to bake something else for my husband today, he's eaten all the muffins... I'm tossing up between gingerbread and a coconut blueberry loaf. Hmmm.

Haha MrVee- Uncheese actually tastes pretty good in it's own right, just tastes very mildly cheesy. I make it out of nuts and spices and it stays in block form with the help of agar agar. It's good enough to stop me missing the real thing!


Ah just feeling generally shitty today. My leg has been bothering me again for a few days and today I'm feeling truly crippled again. I'm so sick of being stuck at home unable to actually DO anything! It's bad enough being stuck at home without a job!! Ate shitty yesterday, was feeling sorry for myself and just caved in the afternoon. Went around 1000cals over maintenance- can still manage a 3500 cal deficit this week if I'm good for the rest of it. Just hate not being able to be normal and get out and work or walk or do things that I used to be able to do!!! Wonder if it's suddenly gotten bad again because I haven't been able to swim? I was worried that would happen. Arrgh. Oh and just to really piss myself off, I stepped on the scales this morning... 66.2. Even after having the worst day in a long time yesterday and not having gone to the bathroom yet. I think I'm doomed to be that weight forever! I'm bad about weighing myself after a binge, usually it goes up 500g-1kg which I lose the few days after if I've been good. But no... steady as. Unless this means I'll actually see a loss this week, but we'll have to wait and see on that one.


Food plan for tomorrow- Day 13 of 112

The November blahs seem to be going around, as I've had them lately too. We all have our moments I guess. Hopefully it'll be one day thing and you'll be ready to conquer the world again tomorrow. It's a bummer about the pool though. I'd be bummed if my basketball workouts were taken from me.
 
November blahs for sure!! Argh ate almost up to maintenance today, managed to stand long enough to play with a recipe... which I had to try... which turned out to taste amazing and instead of eating one piece I ate 3. Grrr. So win/lose there lol. Will definitely be perfect the next two days, really need to re-focus and stick to my eating plan too. It's too easy while I'm watching calories to take out something I'm supposed to be eating and instead eat the same calorie amount in cashew butter or something (that stuff tastes like HEAVEN!) Been pretty bad for that this week! FOCUS!
 
Staying on track is definitely much tougher when you can't get out and do things! Yesterday I got off work early and didn't have anything to do till my 8 o clock burlesque class and so I just relaxed at home and ALL I though about was food! I did stay within my calories but it was tough! You can do it though!!
 
Awh lucy hun, i hope you will feel better soon, as for eating bad, you never do, so dont beat yourself up about it!!:):)


Hoping you have a better day tomorrow:) Much looooove xxx
 
I know, I really have to just stop letting myself eat the extra!!! 2 days till weigh in, I know I can be good until then. Not doing anymore baking or anything until Fri, and my next cheat day isn't until Mon. I'm still getting leaner though, check out morning abs! (Lol, kinda abs. They're there under a layer, just starting to poke through!)





Eh workout today, just feel really unmotivate because just getting up to make breakfast was painful. Really hope that my swimming cap comes tomorrow so I can start swimming again straight away! I'm fully crippled right now!


Food plan for tomorrow- Day 14 of 112


B- Plain pancake stack with choc banana ice-cream

S- 2 wheat free crackers with 1 tsp nut butter

L- Mountain bread pizza with tuna, uncheese and veg

S- 2 hard boiled eggs

D- Leftover seasoned chicken breast with caulilower and broccoli stir fry


Exercise- I have planned for none (just my physio stuff) but if my cap comes tomorrow I'll swim for half an hour too.


Calories include 1 cup of almond milk to go in my 2 cups of coffee. Also have 1 cup green tea and 1 cup spearmint tea during the day.


Total Calories: 1241 Total deficit for the day: 1006

Total deficit for the week: 2725 (ehhhhh I suck!)


Ok so just worked it out... To catch up on my deficit for the month I need a 730 deficit every day for the next fortnight, which really should be easy. I'm going to MAKE it easy- I've got so many recipes backlogged and typed up I really don't need to bake and try out recipes (apart from my own breakfasts/ snacks/ meals) so there won't be anything for me to go back and get into (except for the stuff I bake my husband, I'll just have to be stronger dammit!) So for the next fortnight I'm going to stick 100% to the nutritionist plan and aim for that deficit every day (my plan includes 1 cheat meal a week so I can do that, I just need to incorporate it into my calories which is fine). So plan SORTED, going to DO THIS and stop making excuses! Get out of this plateau that's driving me insane!
 
Thank you Mystic!! Despite having to be seated most of my day I actually still manage to get pretty muscular just with my 3 or 4 strength sessions a week. Eating healthy doesn't hurt me either of course, just wish I could control the AMOUNT I eat haha.


Speaking of food... I went all super organised yesterday and planned all my meals for the next fortnight with the deficit I need to get me where I want to be by the end of this month (Or at least the deficit I was aiming for, really should've lost some weight last week but my body said no!) I'm going to be 100% dedicated to it and if I don't lose weight after that, then I might have to have another consult with my nutritionist. I think it might be to do with my IBS, fluid retention, constipation etc (sorry if TMI). I don't eat my trigger foods anymore but when I have a bad day and eat 4 slices of toast with a shitload of nut butter, eating a big amount all at once still upsets my stomach for a few days. You'd think I'd learn and just stop doing it! Life isn't so easy though... AH. Going to do it if it kills me! If nothing else, it's motivating to see that I'm still getting leaner at least. My stomach is much more defined than it was weeks ago and I weighed the same, it's not all about the scale (though if the scale decides to move, I will be jumping for joy- not literally, of course, I'd probably dislocate a knee!)


Made a different uncheese yesterday, this one is a non-cheese version of mozzarella. I want my cheese melted dammit! Having a mountain bread pizza for lunch today so will let you know how it goes! Also making blueberry muffins for the husband today, I told him I would make him anything he could think of as I wanted a challenge... And he went all boring on me. Seriously. Who's favourite food in the whole world is a blueberry muffin??? He's pretty well trained now actually, could hardly walk by yesterday arvo so when dinner time rolled around, I seasoned chicken and threw that in the oven, then put chopped cauliflower and broccoli on a separate dish with the same seasoning and threw that in there too. He loved the veges! Actually roasted cauli and broc are much tastier than steamed anyway IMO.


Legs are a bit better today, I managed to stay standing long enough to do the dishes without having to sit down! Also got my swimming cap yesterday so going for a swim soon! Did I mention it's purple?? Hehe! My ass is KILLING me though from a new exercise I decided to try out yesterday. You get on all fours- hands and knees- then lift a leg, knee bent, out to the side (like a dog going to the bathroom) and pulse. I did 3 sets of 30 on each side (was hurting after the first set!!) Decided to get a bit more creative yesterday seeing I couldn't do legs... I did a bit of chest back, but it was mostly glutes and core on the floor. Abs are pretty sore too!


Oh and tomorrow is weigh in and I'm finishing the week on a 2725 calorie deficit (it'll change a bit, I have to add in my swim and then add more calories to balance it out... I'll still make sure it's somewhere around there though!)


Food Plan for Tomorrow- Day 15 of 112


B- I slice organic sourdough 100% rye with 1/3 avocado and 2 eggs

S- 2 wheat free crackers (quinoa crispbread) with 1/3 avocado

L- Leftover chicken breast meatballs on a spelt mountain bread with uncheese, tomato, spinach and dijon mustard

S- 2 hard boiled eggs

D- Chicken parmigiana- making a sauce from crushed tomatoes, garlic and herbs, which I'll put a couple tbsp over seared chicken breast with some uncheese and bake. Serving it with 1/2 cup brown rice and a salad of cucumber, tomato and olives dressed with a splash of apple cider vinegar.


Exercise- 30mins strength training


Calories include 1 cup of almond milk for my 2 cups of coffee, also I drink 2 cups of tea throughout the day... 1 green tea, 1 cup spearmint.


Total calories: 1464 Total deficit for the day: 933

Total deficit for the week (new week): 933
 
Keep up the good work.


One of the neat things about strong abdominal muscles is that they have a much better ability to hide and otherwise smooth around the fat that tends to gather around everyone's belly. So even if you weigh the same and even if your waist measurement isn't much smaller, you look better because you don't have that pronounced roll that my abs have suffocating under for 10 years. There are limits to this though. Too much weight and it just won't matter.


Bananas are ripe now, so I think tomorrow is the right day for me to try your mudballs recipe. I'm almost out of snack string cheese, so I can replace it with these.
 
Totally agree with you MrVee, with muscles everything sits better even if you do have the fatty layer over the top! Everything is perkier and smoother lol. That's why strength training is such a winner!


I am right now making the most amazing smelling blueberry muffins- the mixture smelled like vanilla cake. Omg. Don't worry, I am feeling very in control today so I won't have any. Think my husband will be happy though! Hope they rise a fair bit like my banana muffins did, oat flour doesn't rise very much... it's so nice for muffins and cakes though, it gets a nice crust and it's very cake-y in texture. Not to mention the obscene amount of fibre in it and how cheap it is to buy a 1kg bag of home brand oats. Love that stuff! Actually used fresh blueberries too as they were cheap! So he's extra spoiled!


Swim went well, I think it's pretty crazy that I can swim hard and continuously for 30 minutes but standing up for an hour is so difficult! Grr.


One last thing before I log off- I used the different uncheese I made on my mountain bread pizza for lunch- check it!






It melts!!! Hurray!!!!!!! Also much lower in cals, I worked it out and it's around 147cals for 100g!
 
Hahaha Little John, that's awesome! And thankyou!!


Just dropped in quickly before my official post... after being stuck at the same weight for an entire month, I'm now 65.5kgs!!!!! FINALLY!!!! Lost 700g this week. Plateau is OVER!


:party:
 
I can't wait for your first book: 'The Uncheese Diet.' :biggrin:


Congrats on the loss of a few pounds.
