"Don't wish it was easier, wish you are better"

I've I had a diet black out. I've back and forth to the hospital with my mum. To be honest I've made no effort to eat right. Brownie slices from the hospital cafe ,fried chicken on the way home and chocolate in between. I've lost all motivation at the moment. Im visiting again tomorrow and then I'm back to work Monday.…

Think of today as another chance to get it right!

@andrewq6100 @gkjefferson Thanks for the kind words. I've dusted myself down and had a stern word and im ready to go again. Bless x

Sounds good! Can you grill polenta ?

Are we actually doing a mini challenge now?

Don't get me wrong I still love the simplicity of stronglifts and if my calories were positive I'd still be making progress. I just think on a 1000 calorie deficit the best I can ask for is to maintain current lifts as long I don't start stalling on what I've already lifted I should be able to keep the muscle I have built…

I've posted on this thread too many times this week :( had a massive breakfast today of bacon burgers and hash browns. No excuse but my mum's really ill at the moment I've been worrying alot and turned to the comfort of an old friend.... food! Can't let this happen again. Good to get it out there though Bless x

Doesn't it feel good to let it out. I think sharing these little slip ups is good because it takes away the power of guilt. If you keep it a secret then it starts to break you down from the inside out. Once you've shared, just commit to doing better next time. Simple!!! Blessx

@andrewq6100 ^^ sounds intense. Not so technical but I'm going for a 5x5 strength program called stronglifts on a Monday, Wednesday and Friday . I'm on a 1000 calories a day deficit hoping for 1kg a week weight loss. I'm struggling to hit my lifts at the moment, Im hitting a 137.5kg squat but I feel tired and drained quite…

No problem! Its all about the links add me!

[/quote] biscuits = cookies, I believe:) [/quote] Unfortunately ^^^ is correct each one of these little bad boys is 85 calories a pop. I work 12 hr shifts and we produce 7092 of these little suckers every minute. Its like a sea of biscuits or should I say cookies. I need a new job. Lol

"Life is like a box of chocolates"..... why does every thing have to revolve around food lol

Don't chastise your self too much (unless you like that sort of thing) without failure we wouldn't recognise success. 4 hail mfp's for your sins and maybe you should go to bed without any supper lol Peace

Is I'm sure I read somewhere that you need to consume 1g of protein for every lb of lean body mass. ( so that's not including the weight of body fat ) Not sure how true Bless x

Lol. Well I hope you lose that title!!!

Hi Meesamoop This is a great a great topic and you've dished up some solid tips and advice. I'm learning that the saying "failing to plan is planning to fail" couldn't be more true when trying to stay on track and keep yourself in check with your diet. When hunger strikes it can leave you in a vulnerable state susceptible…

I'm in. Mini challenges, small goals baby steps and all that. What's that they say.... how do you eat an elephant? That's not a suggestion for anyones meals lol

Hi all. Ready to rock and roll. I've got this one! Success is my only option, no more half arsed attempts at reaching my goals. I have 31.5kg to lose I'm already down 5.5kg and by the end of this challenge im hoping to lose another 5kg. I like the idea of weekly weigh-ins the accountability and support will I hope help.…
