Back again! This time is for real

[Cate]

Let's have a great week, Kate. We can do this!

I deserve better

Yes, you do! In terms of food, we all deserve not to eat deep-fried rubbish and puffed-up pretend food. I'm starting to get angry at the garbage-peddlers getting rich from people's vulnerabilities and difficulty accessing decent food:
Maria Franca Fissolo & family
The least rich one in that Forbes list of junk food billionaires is the owner of Hungry Jack's, net worth $US1.7 billion.

Ummm... Sorry for that outburst. Stay warm and safe from the storm!

Ok so Friday I was super low. Beyond low in myself. I found out something online and it triggered me. I wouldn’t have found out if I didn’t go snooping. I swear 99% of my problems is my own doing. If I haven’t gone snooping I wouldn’t have found out the information that triggered me. The people i checked up on, I don’t even talk to anymore and weren’t even nice to me but it still hurts seeing what I saw. Seriously ever since social media has been created I have the urge every now and then to check up on a certain “ someone” or couple of people and it never ends well. I always convince myself that “ this time will be different, I won’t feel so bad when I look this time” and NO.... it’s a big slap in the face for me, i always feel the exact same everytime.
Yesterday I felt a bit better, I didn’t confide in my friend what I saw cos I knew it was so mundane and it was my own fault. I stayed eating more or less healthy even though we did share a bottle of wine between us.

Today I am now home. Since storm Dennis is so loud and annoying, I’m just walking in step cos weather is so bad here, I don’t know how I’m gonna make up the 10,000 steps inside lol!! I’ll update ye tomorrow and let you know if I hit my target of 10,000 steps or not.



Breakfast today consisted on Banana on toast and tea!



I’m gonna set some goals for the week.
Main goals:

Eat 1600 cals a day

walk 10,000 steps a day

Drink 8 glasses of water a day ( same as 2lts of water)

Not complain so much ( lol that will be a hard one )

Talk later, Kate




Thanks Rob, the weekend Storm Dennis was so loud and annoying. But in Ireland thank god the storms aren’t as bad as other parts of the world. Sorry to hear in 2005 your house was badly damaged by the storm! That must have been horrible!!!

Thanks Petal! I love Mamma Mia lol!

Thanks Cate, yes let’s crush it this week, hugs xxxx

Amy, rant away girl!! Lol Your always welcome on my page!! I need to eat better this week for sure

I wouldn’t have found out if I didn’t go snooping.

It´s a bit like eating chocolate despite knowing you´ll get sick, isn´t it? I do that SO OFTEN...

I don’t know how I’m gonna make up the 10,000 steps inside lol!!

Put some music on and try simple step aerobics or just dancing?

Yes exactly!!! I wish I never got the urge to check up on these people ever again.

Put some music on and try simple step aerobics or just dancing?

Thanks for the tip! Will def put on some music and give that a go

Hi Kate
When I was in my good walking zone I would put on leslie sansone on you tube and do 15 mins or 30 . It clocks up the steps . Struggling to get back in that mode but I did a great walk today during the lull . Did get wet but never mind .
ah I have no social media now . Better off sometimes not knowing stuff . I emphasise . Is it something you would be comfortable to delete so you are not tempted to snoop again .
I like your plan for going forward . Here’s to a new week ahead

 

[Cate]

Hi, Kate. It's hard to stop looking at people who upset you on social media, but when it churns you up it is unhealthy. I have had to stop myself & no longer do it. Even when I start to get upset thinking about some nasty people I say "stop, stop, stop" & think about someone I really love. It is really good to let things go & you feel much better for it.
Music is so good for us & exercising around the house by dancing is very therapeutic.
I hope you have a great week xoxo

 

[aiminglow]

I like your banana-on-toast breakfast. Bananas are a brilliant fruit - they can mimic a sweet spread, as they're doing on your toast, or they can whizz up with milk into a milkshake, or they can be frozen into pretend icecream, and I'll curry them, if I get too many at once!

 

[Sunflower19]

Yesterday I was extra hungry so consumed 2358 cals of food. Mostly healthy.
I burned 435 cals by my walking around house. Instead of 10,000, I achieved 7000. Actually gonna aim for 7000 steps a day!! I’m 18 stone 7.75! That amount is brilliant for my weight. When I lose a few more stone I’ll change it to 10,000.

As of yesterday I am 18 7.75, I will weigh myself again in 6 days time. So this is my new starting weight. I will not give up this week. I was so upset last night realizing all the days I wasted. I just want to do good this week now. I don’t ever want to give up. As long as I’m trying at least I’m doing something. For so many years I gave up. Just threw the towel in and accepted defeat. I’ll aim for 7,000 steps today again.

I’ll catch up with diaries later as I am at work, talk later

thanks so much Petal! I never heard of her before and I love YouTube!!!! I put her on last night for my final 5 mins walk and it helped a lot.

Is it something you would be comfortable to delete so you are not tempted to snoop again .

That’s worth thinking about but i love it so much lol. I def think it would be a good idea to step away from it abit tho. For instance use it 4 times a week instead of everyday etc. Thanks for the suggestion

Thanks so much Cate , I really do need to let things go. Im so bad for continually feeding myself thoughts of the past!! Ugh I’m a disaster lol, thanks for such a kind post xxx

OH I LOVE BANANAS SO MUCH I haven’t had them in forever until the last few days

Hey Kate, try not to think about that, don't waste today and all will be well. I have wasted a whole lot more days than you've been alive. By starting now you are showing yourself to be smarter than I and you should never come close to catching up with me. Not in that respect anyway.

Im so bad for continually feeding myself thoughts of the past!!

You are not bad, what you are doing is human nature. But you are wise to be trying to get over it and move on, the world is full of nice people, think about some of them.

I just want to do good this week now. I don’t ever want to give up.

I know you can do well, and that is a great attitude. I am looking forward to seeing your progress!

That´s great! Don´t feel bad about the 10,000 step goal; that´s a pretty random number. Here´s a video about it:

 

[Cate]

Hi, Kate. I tried hard to meet the 10,000 steps, but found it almost impossible. Now I aim for 5,000 & am happy. 7,000 sounds like a good figure to me.

I'm so bad for continually feeding myself thoughts of the past!! Ugh

So am I. We have to stop. We can't undo the past.
Hope you have a really good week

 

[aiminglow]

I just want to do good this week now. I don’t ever want to give up. As long as I’m trying at least I’m doing something.

Oh, hang in there, Kate! We are all cheering for you - and I know for a fact that that weight can go.

18 7¾ and counting down! ​

And the next big jump is going to take you under the half-stone mark! I can hardly wait!

 

[Sunflower19]

Hey guys!
Yesterday was a brilliant day. After all my talk the day before I walked 11,000 steps approx 683 Cals burned. !!!! Woop woop ( won’t happen again for ages lol) walked the legs off myself! Yesterday was beyond busy!! Ate 1783 Cals yesterday too!!

I stopped myself from jumping on the scales this morning, ugh I had an urge but said SO THAT WONT MAKE US HAPPY KATE.

Today so far I’ve eaten over my Cals and am no way near my count steps but I’m still not bingeing and that’s winning to me!!!

Talk laters, Kate


Rob: thanks for the kind words!!! I know there is plenty nicer people in the world. Need to focus on that, and I’m sure you didn’t waste as many years as you think!! You’re such a happy go getter person

Maria: thanks girl for the 10,000 steps video, my friend who’s into science also told me before that it’s not scientifically proven that it’s the go to number for health so ima believe it!!

Cate: yes!!! I think I might change my 7,000 steps to 5,000 it’s literally so hard when you have a desk job to move in the evenings

Amy: thanks a mill girl!! I cannot wait to get out of the 18 stones it’s killing me ughhhhh! Such an annoying number!

 

[Cate]

If you change it to 5000 & you do more, it feels like a big win, rather than a chore

 

[aiminglow]

Great! about yesterday being a brilliant day - and about not bingeing today! You're probably wise not to jump on the scales too often - for one thing it'll just wear them out all the quicker, and then they'll weigh funny!
Still cheering for you, though quietly today.

 

[Sunflower19]

Quick post. Today it was a good day. I want to create new habits, that last a life time. One is, to weigh myself weekly which is a huge trigger ( haven’t done it in 3 days yipeeeee)

Another is to not eat as many chocolate bars as I have done so the last 13 years. I had no chocolate bars today but I had 6 choc buscuits, all in my calories of course lol

Talk later,
Kate

 

[aiminglow]

I want to create new habits, that last a life time.

Me too! One of mine is: start the day with fruit. I haven't been able to kick the weigh-every-day habit yet, except when I've been physically away from the scales - good for you for three days' abstinence!

I'm with you on that one! Going to try eating so much food I don't WANT chocolate again.

 

[alligatorob]

I’m still not bingeing

Hey Kate, that alone is worth celebrating!

I want to create new habits, that last a life time

With you on that one, and I have no clear idea as to how I'll do it, but am working on it. We can work on it together, your insights will be appreciated.

I think you are doing quite well, maybe a few calories over your plan, but not a whole lot and your exercise is good. Just keep after it and good things will happen. And I want to see that!
