Slow and steady β€ I'm done with racing through life, diets, whatever to keep up with others, everything at my own pace.

Hi everyone πππ thanks for all your messages and requests and look forward to following your progress. It's nice to know we're not alone, eh?

Today was a nightmare as I had car trouble after the gym and had to sit around waiting for a mechanic. The only place nearby to eat was a greasy spoon so... Breakfast: nothing π Mid-morning: Bacon buttie on a white roll, black coffee Lunch: nothing π± Dinner: back on track with homemade chilli con carne (5% fat beef mince),β¦

I went to lots of different fitness classes and chose the trainer at my gym that was most engaging and motivating. He's also really pro-active with developing himself, taking courses, becoming really strong in certain key areas, and that's reassuring to show he's in it for the long haul. I got to know him first to makeβ¦

Oh dear God. I need to lose an average 2 year old. This is scary!
-
I agree! I wouldn't be able to 'diet'if I was depriving myself, portion control (and self control!!) is key!

Today: Breakfast: Black coffee, poached egg, smoked salmon and (lightest) cream cheese on rye Lunch: Miso soup and boiled egg, banana, apple Dinner: Lemony prawn and pea risotto, 0% fat Greek yoghurt, honey and walnuts for pudding. Had a sneaky wee glass of white wine while making the risotto! π

Hi there, there are lots of comments here that I haven't got through but just thought I'd throw in my tuppence. I think if you swapped the PB/Jelly for two poached eggs once your hens start laying that will make a huge difference. The PB&J are full of sugar which doesn't get you anywhere. The eggs will also give you energyβ¦

Haha that's me!! I'm totally addicted :) there are worse things :)

Agreed, I'd much rather be physically tired than mentally tired. I had much more energy finishing work after 8 hours running about than I do now!

I sit for 8-10 hours a day in an office. When I was a student and working in retail I was on my feet constantly and yes - "jogging/running" up and down stairs to get stuff for customers. Not to mention all the lifting and carrying when accepting deliveries! I didn't realise it at the time but I would love it if I were onβ¦

Wow!!! I'm impressed.

This weekend I off my fitbit, didn't log ANY meals and had an entire dominos pizza, a huge chinese takeaway and a bottle of white wine to myself in the space of 24 hrs. It was bliss.
-
Mine disappear altogether!!!!! :s
-
What type of stuff do you eat? BBC Good Food is a great site for recipes
-
Baked polenta fries with tomato and garlic dipping sauce. Yum!
-
-
That sounds amazing!!
-
I did see a recipe somewhere for pizza crust, I'll try and find it
-
Thanks all, looking forward to experimenting :)
-
Sounds yum. I put spices in pretty much everything I eat, my fav combo is cumin, ground coriander and paprika. It just gives a little kick to otherwise plain soups, sauces or couscous.
-
P.S. I like your style! :)
-
Macgurlnet, foreversunshine, you've hit the nail on the head. It's the word "cheat" that is making me feel guilty. From now on I'll just call it "meal" lol.
-
A cheat meal is a weekly/monthly meal where you eat whatever you want without feeling guilty. The idea is to help with motivation, so psychologically you don't resent being so strict all the time. A personal trainer friend of mine recommended this. Malibu, I do do well with my meals so they are varied and tasty but at 1200β¦
