Hi Everyone, I'm bowing out of the challenge this month. I'm just so sick of counting every single thing I eat and want to take a break from mpf for a few weeks and see how I get on. I may be back in March. I'm going on a couple of holidays this month and just don't want to be thinking of mpf and counting everything. Thank…

February 14 Green: No Total/Goal: 10/20 Water: Yes Total/Goal: 14/28 I had my daily calories eaten before I went for Valentine's dinner. Which was the most amazing dinner I've ever had. All Vegan food at this gorgeous restaurant in Dublin. I'm not a Vegan but the food was amazing!! Thanks for all the kind words everyone.…

February 13 Green: Yes Total/Goal: 10/20 Water: Yes Total/Goal: 13/28 Just got told that I'm gonna be unemployed as of Tuesday and my first reaction was "I want cake" :embarassed: I had a chocolate brownie with natural yogurt and it was good. I know it is emotional eating but it could have led to a binge but didn't, which…

February 12 Green: Yes Total/Goal: 9/20 Water: Yes Total/Goal: 12/28 Another healthy day. Like Twijourney I find it so easy to stay green when I'm at work. I'm in my routine and it's no problem. The real issue is at the weekend. I'm sure many of us are like that. Another nice swim after work today. The pool is so quiet…

February 11 Green: Yes Total/Goal: 8/20 Water: Yes Total/Goal: 11/28 Had a lovely swim today after work. I forgot how refreshing the water is. And it's a good workout too. Looking forward to tomorrow's swim already. I'm swimming at the minute instead of lifting weights as I injured my knee and want it to heal fully in case…

Bump to read later :smile:

February 10 Green: Yes Total/Goal: 7/20 Water: Yes Total/Goal: 10/28 No exercise. Still nursing an injured knee. But pretty good day food wise.

February 9 Green: Yes Total/Goal: 6/20 Water: Yes Total/Goal: 9/28 Major binge this weekend. Feel so full and mad at myself. Am looking forward to a healthy week ahead though!

February 7 and 8 Green: No Total/Goal: 5/20 Water: Yes Total/Goal: 8/28 Two very red days! One planned. One unplanned. Feeling bad but tomorrow's a new day! Will be back on track tomorrow!

February 6 Green: Yes Total/Goal: 5/20 Water: Yes Total/Goal: 6/28 I'm after injuring my knee and so will have to take it easy exercise wise for the next couple of weeks until it heals. I hate taking it easy! I've been really getting into my weight training programme but I suppose it's better to let my knee heal than…

Thanks for the advice everyone. I'm gonna totally rest it. No gym. Might try and swim though. I'm going to do RICE - rest, ice, compression and elevation. And if it's not better by Monday I'll go to a physio. Fingers crossed it heals quickly :smile:

February 5 Green: Yes Total/Goal: 4/20 Water: Yes Total/Goal: 5/28 15 in the red today but still green chevy style. Have been taking it easy on the exercise because I hurt my knee running at the weekend. So I've been doing some yoga and am going to a lovely tai chi class this evening. Healthy enough day eating wise…

February 4 Green: Yes Total/Goal: 3/20 Water: Yes Total/Goal: 4/28 I've decided to give up refined sugar for a couple of weeks. Day 2 today. It is tough!! I made myself some flapjacks with honey for a treat so looking forward to having one after my yoga class this evening. Am loving the fact that the water challenge is…

Are you quoting me here Jbharwood? If so I'm red 1st feb. and green 2nd and 3rd :smile:

February 3 Green: Yes Total/Goal: 2/20 Water: Yes Total/Goal: 3/28 Fast day today to recover from overeating at the weekend. Feel nice and light today. Off to a yoga class now which I'm really looking forward to.

The post workout snack :laugh:

February 2 Green: Yes Total/Goal: 1/20 Water: Yes Total/Goal: 2/28 Loads of activity today. An hour long session in the gym this morning and then a two hour walk to the sea after a big Sunday dinner and dessert. Walked it all off and so it's my first green day of Spring :smile: I will have a goal of 28 days for water as I…

February 1 Green: No Total/Goal: 0/20 Water: Yes Total/Goal: 3/8 A very red day today but a planned one. Not even going to log all I ate but let's just say I feel a bit sick :sick: Ah well. Onwards and upwards. Looking forward to digesting all this food and feeling light again.

I am going for 20 green days this month due to a holiday in Rome, the city of Pizza, pasta and Gelato!!! :tongue: And 8 cups of water a day :smile:

You look amazing. Well done on all your hard work :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

I realised I wasn't going low enough and decided to go right back down to a low weight. I started with a 7kg bar and have been adding around 1kg each time I squat. I'm on 10.5kg now with perfect form, going below parallel on each squat. I would really recommend doing this and taking it slow.

You look amazing! Well done :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

Thanks so much for the great advice. Will keep doing what I'm doing for another week and see how it goes. :smile: :smile: :flowerforyou:

It's an electronic scale. I only weigh myself once a week. First thing on a Friday morning. Just going to wait until next Friday and hope for the best!

Just came across this old thread. Did Mehdi ever respond? What programme all you ladies doing now? I'm one week into SL after doing two stages of nrol.

Thank you. Yeah I was thinking that myself. Will move up 5kg on next lifting day and see how that feels. I've only done two days so far :smile:

Thanks for the advice. Ordered two plates online. They should be here in a week. Didn't even think of doing that so thanks a mil :smile:

Back to my pre Christmas weight as of today :smile: :smile: :smile: Back to losing now I hope :wink:

Thanks for the advice and the link :smile:

I put on 1.5lbs, which isn't too bad considering the amount of crap i ate :tongue: Won't take me too long to lose it. Thank God Christmas comes but once a year :smile:
