    Hey Snorker, welcome to the group :flowerforyou:

    I think I made wrong choices today, I didn't go to the gym, had naughty lunch and had a thick slice of carrot cake :tongue:

    Did make some gingered pumpkin soup for dinner tonight which is low cal. and I will have a strawberry and banana smoothie later tonight as a treat. If I just stick to all that I remain within calories... fingers crossed!

    Another situation though, I promised my son I would treat him to pizza hut, I am really worried because I haven't had it since before my diet and I don't know which pizza base and toppings to choose. They are all very bad I know but I plan on doing 2 hour in the gym and half hour swim before so I won't feel too bad about excessive cals. Any of you sinners know about pizza hut? :laugh:

    Hope you are all behaving :wink: :bigsmile:

    Hello everyone!

    Oh I was very bad yesterday. I was off work so me and the boy went to Pizza Hut for lunch, then saw Harry Potter, then went to the Motherwell game and I had a pie!!
    Harry Potter was brilliant! The only thing that was wrong was these two people right in front of me that talked and laughed throughout the ENTIRE film. They were so annoying! They weren't even talking about the film.
    Helen - I always have margherita pizzas at Pizza Hut because I'm not that big a fan of toppings anyway, but I think they have healthier pizzas now. You've probably already been and ate by the time you read this.
    I went out for a run yesterday with the boy as well before we went to Pizza Hut. Arrggghhh!!!! I think the last time I ran properly was about 5 years ago. I had to stop and walk all the time. We were only out for half an hour.
    I went out again tonight by myself. Only for 15 mins but I didn't stop, only did gentle jogging because my legs are quite sore :(
    Going out for a curry tomorrow night then out drinking and dancing......oh dear.

    Hope everyone has a nice weekend

    it was only my first meal but iv tried to work it out and cals = 400-500ish and fat = 8g, so i think thats good:ohwell:

    anyway managed to do a workout sesh and did extra jogging laps and sit ups which makes today the most iv ever done i think :happy: and i only realised it was a week today til my birthday and i set mysef a goal to get to 12st 7lbs, and i havent weighed myself yet and don;t plan on doing so until monday, so hoping for good things as this is my birthday present to me lol :laugh:

    hope everyone is having a good weekend :bigsmile: :drinker:

    Had a pretty naughty weekend, but I don't care because at my weigh in today I LOST 2lb!!! And it's my TOM!!! That's 43lbs, 3 stone 1lb in 11 weeks, woo hoo!!! I LOVE this site! Thanks Team UK, the opportunity to share (and confess!) has helped me smash my July target by 1lb, couldn't have done it without you.

    Now I did say when I hit 3stone gone I'd celebrate with some Ben & Jerry's.....!

    Katie you have done well, I lost 1 kg which is 2.2lbs :happy:

    Do you have a set programme at the gym? Would love to know.

    I have been working nights and I am absolutely knackered, my food is a bit weird because of my sleeping times. Last one tonight, going to treat myself with either a grilled tuna steak or a grilled steak
    with a nice chickpea salad.

    P.S Seeing I am at my half way mark I will need to make some changes, I am now going for portion control. I now have 1/3 of cup of porridge instead a 1/2 cup. Going to incorperate this with every meal.
    the last 15kg is going to hard to shift.

    Do you have a set programme at the gym? Would love to know.

    the trainer i had for the induction did write me a programme but i got bored doing it and the bike REALLY annoys me :tongue:
    the plan he gave me is:
    5min treadmill - 3-3.5mph
    stretches
    bike - pace programm 3mile @10mph
    crosstrainer - profile level 8-10, 10-15mins, 40-45rpm
    rower - 5mins, resistance 4
    chest press - 5kg, 15-20reps x3
    seated row - 10kg, 15-20reps x3
    abductor - 30kg, 15-20reps x3
    adductor - 30kg, 15-20reps x3
    leg press - 30kg, 15-20reps x3
    ab cradle (front) - 15-20reps x3
    ab cradle (side) - 15-20reps x3
    leg lowers - 15-20reps x3
    5min treadmin - 3-2mph
    stretches

    What i tend to do is:
    20min walk to gym
    15mins treadmill - 4.5mph-6mph walking
    - 7mph running (max 7mins)
    35mins elliptical - focusing on all areas of the leg
    15mins treadmill -4mph -5mph

    Today i did:
    20min walk to gym
    20mins treadmill -4.5mph - 6mph walking
    - running 4mins @ 7mph
    - running 1min @ 10mph
    - running 30sec @ 12mph
    10mins rowing
    15mins treadmill -4 -6mph walking
    20mins elliptical
    10mins treadmill - 4mph walking
    20min walk home

    im really bad at putting resistance/weight training in - i get really bored doing it, and theres always big blokes in the weights bit that laugh at you or old men perving :grumble:
