Sophies diary

This decision is so healthy for you, mentally as well as physically. It's a technique called 'intuitive eating' that I am basing my plan on aswell. Good luck hun!
 
Yeah Sophie!! You are doing so well! This whole thing is about better choices for what we put into our mouths and exercise!!

Keep up the good work!
 
Just remember to give it a few weeks before declaring any change to be a failure or a success; you cannot usually tell if a new food plan is going to work for you right away. Intuitive eating really is the goal for any long term weight loss, it's just tough learning how to do it.
No matter what, don't give up on eating right!
 
Hey Sophie, hope you are doing great. I think you'll be fine on the intuitive eating - you know the right choices to make :) Good luck!
 
thanks guys :) youve made me sure that what im doing is right. i know im going to find it hard for a while cos i keep having cravings etc..
today i have done pretty well i guess. i have eaten less than i would have done before i started this journey.
breakfast:
2 cups cornflakes with half cup oat milk and one teaspoon sugar
1 low fat yoghurt
snack:
3 boiled sweets
dinner:
2 slices cheese on toast (yes i know..cheese! but i cant cut it out forever so once in a while ... :p )
1 low fat yoghurt
35g dried blackcurrant pieces
snack:
1 large piece date and walnut cake (homemade so full of fruit and wholemeal flour - no preservatives flavourings etc)
so not tooo bad i guess
still got tea to go tonight but that should probably be something saladdy im guessing
doing tempo training tonight (type of intervals)
 
Sophie, that sounds like a pretty well rounded day of food so far :)
So how does tempo training work? Sounds intriguing!
 
well i know i said i wouldnt but i was curious just to see (to check i wasnt going totally overboard) how many cals it is so far
and interestingly enough by eating what i feel like eating when i feel like eating it (hungry lol) has taken up less calories than eating to a plan did. i have only taken in 1008 calories so far. and my limit used to be 1600 daily. and also normally by this time in the day i would be at about 1200-1300. so im pleased!
tempo training erm.. well we run around the football pitch. and we run the long sides flat out and the short sides slow. and we just keep going until we feel absolutely exhausted.
the name in my training manual for it was tempo training so it just stuck i guess..
 
Thanks for explaining the tempo training :)
lol I was going to ask you whether you had thought about checking back on calories but didn't want to tempt you :) Sounds like you are doing well Sophie :D
 
thankies :D
so now i am up to 1600
so just enough calories left for a big salad tonight after running :)
eventually i reckon i will eat less and less each day (obviously i will be eating enough) i think just the novelty of eating what i want is quite big to begin with.
 
Hi Sophie! That interval training sounds fun!
I started counting my calories too, because i heard that women should have no less than 1200, and it shocked, to see that I was only clearing like 900 on some days. So ya, I think calorie counting is ok if you are just using it to make sure you are maintaining a healthy range of calories. Have fun today!
 
thankyou britta i will do - you too. yeah i reckon that i was eating more when counting the calories than i was when i wasnt. if that makes sense. i just felt like i was eating less food when i wasnt counting because the type of food i was eating wasnt of much nuritional value.
 
what do you mean..
i know what you mean by the pyscological part..but which bit? the bit about the calorie counting or the bit about feeling fuller
 
thankyou very much for stopping by pequin and bmhearn - havent seen you guys round here for a while - nice to see you .. hope all is well :D
haha lena i sure may be when im a little older although its not really my thing at the moment - i prefer the orienteering .. i looovvee it. so when i stop by in all your countries to do it you'll have to come say hi...
except this year im only scotland. next year sweden.. and then because i will no longer be living with my parents the world will be my oyster :D im so excited
 
last nights training:
warmup
jog to fields (about 5 mins)
