A banana after my spinning class last night

The home-made guacamole on wholewheat toast with coffee I just had - set me up for the day and put a smile on my face despite the miserable weather.

Toast with lots of butter oozing from every pore

Guacamole and carrot sticks. I take them out cycling with me and they do the job. Taste good, fill me up, and are healthy.

"Now if only losing weight would cut down on my alcohol tolerance, because that's where my real danger zone lies." Ha! This. My overindulgences are in beer. All my days of "If every day were like this, in five weeks you'd explode" are my days of, I deserve this beer... and before I know it I'm logging ten beers. Somehow I…

You'd know about it if you had rhabdomyolysis - or rather you probably wouldn't cos the chances are you wouldn't be here to tell the tale :o It is extremely rare; you are more likely to get knocked off your bike going to the spin class so that it isn't worth worrying about. Keep on spinning!

Sounds like you have a good instructor, which is three-quarters of the battle. Don't be afraid to ask him anything you are unsure about, even time and time again. Yeah, be sensible, look in the mirror to see what YOU are doing and nobody else. Truly hope you learn to love it!!

Hi, I am a regular spinner, going two to three times a week for the past couple of years as well as regularly riding my bike outdoors. After I my first spinning class I literally thought I was gonna die! Actually half-way through the class I wasn't sure I'd live to see the end of the hour. I dragged myself off the bike,…

I have goosepimples, you have done so well!

Well I am English but live in Germany... does that count? :)

Hi All, What bothers me is when people tell me, you are so LUCKY to have lost so much weight... Luck doesn't come into it. After being practically immobile for decades due to the excruciating agony of fibromyalgia, I got on some medication which helped with pain relief and I got off my (rather large) backside and started…

I find it also serves as a "warning" - if I massively go over my goals (usually through consuming too many post-workout beers) it tells me that I'd gain about 5kg in 5 weeks if every day were like this! Hence the fluctuations. I find it a useful reminder of what's good for my goals and what, frankly, I shouldn't be doing.…

PS. Listen to your body. It knows what is good for it.

Oh I know those caffeine withdrawal headaches! I had a (mad I'd say) dermatologist who told me that, to get rid of the warts I had on my fingers, I should cut out coffee and something else, cannot remember what it was but I didn't consume it anyway, and swallow some globules she refused to tell me what they were. For some…

Another one - whenever my phone rings. I mean, it doesn't happen often because I don't encourage it, but now again it does and I hop around like a mad woman cursing whoever it might be, all their friends and family and anyone they might vaguely be acquainted with. And don't answer. I mean, how DARE they? Makes me not only…

People who take sugar in their tea. There, I've finally got that off my chest. I know... irrational.

What is FB?

OMG I have been waiting for this thread to come up again! On Saturday I was shopping in town (I hate shopping) and saw this cute skirt (I only started wearing skirts again recently) and said, do you have this in size 42? She said no, but told me which branch had one in size 42. So off I went and asked for a size 42 skirt…

I want to pay off all my debts. By... tomorrow. ROFL

Well I live in Germany and people are erm... not particularly well-known for their friendliness. I go spinning sometimes, and hardly anyone acknowledges you when you walk into the room which, despite having lived here for a century or two, I still cannot get used to. After an hour's spinning and sweating alongside each…

This is a good one! Thanks for starting this thread. Of course, I ate really healthily, I am vegetarian after all, it was my medical problems which made me put on weight... and all that alcohol? Puuh... I worked hard, I earned it... And anyway Weissbier is good for your skin, keeps your kidneys flushed... Then I joined…

No. It needs greasy, salty food, preferrably fried eggs with buttery and i mean BUTTERY toast. And coffee. And coke. And sleep. And water then in the afternoon sugary, SUGARY cake. And more sleep. And lots of moaning, I am never gonna drink again... etc. etc. No excessive movements. Good luck!
-
Really pleased for you.
-
Butter butter butter! I agree with everyone else that margarine tastes gross. My family in England however somehow bought into the hype years ago that butter is evil and margarine is some kind of miracle food. When I am there I have to pop out and buy packs of butter for my daughter and myself, since I cannot bear the…

Bought a 1.5kg bag of little apples yesterday for about €1.50, loads in there. I'll be eating them for days. I love little red apples. Got a serious craving for them when I was pregnant - my daughter is 16 now and I still love them! Didn't wash them when I was pregnant either and it doesn't appear to have harmed my…

I cannot smell any pesticide so nope! Maybe I don't have the best sense of smell either ;-)
-
Don't peel. Don't wash them either. Very rarely wash anything (myself excluded). I don't live a totally sanitised lifestyle. I seem to have a great immune system so maybe that's why.

I am SO proud of myself for not drinking alcohol on "exercise days". Last night after circuit training the group went for dinner. I ordered an alcohol-free Weissbier. When you consider that my earlier nickname was The Weissbier Queen, that is some achievement! I swear that the decrease in alcohol is the main reason behind…
-
it is surely not possible to eat... what? 35,000 calories in one day?! Mind you I am about to do yesterday's calories... out drinking Hugo and eating cake during the day, out drinking Weissbier and eating cake in the evening... maybe it is, maybe it is!

I go through phases of craving tomatoes... they are lovely things. Not having a phase of it now, although I do eat them regularly. Actually, tomato soup for lunch, tomatoes on my salad just now... other times I have phases of craving beetroot. Gotta have beetroot all the time. Other times, sesame. I literally sweat and…
