Weight Today: 61.6kg/135.8lbs (- .2 from previous week)

Food Intake:
1 small GF burrito (256cal)
1 banana
1 fist of nuts and raisins
8 cherries
1 cup of 2in1 Nescafé
2 slices of GF/LF pizza (prosciutto/funghi/salmon/veggies/cheese)
1 bowl of salad with mozzarella and beans
1 stuffed chicken breast
1 egg with cassava flour
1 bowl of GF/LF vanilla ice cream (2 ball scoops)
3 triangles of toblerone

Exercise:
10km on treadmill
100 squats

Notes: well, the positive is that despite it all I still managed to loose some (minimal) weight this week! Feeling a bit better today...hopefully this cold will go away very very soon. Haven’t been 100% on my food either...it’s one thing I have noticed that it’s harder this time around to maintain compared to my previous diary...obviously don’t want to use this as an excuse, but I was single last time I put on an effort with my diet/exercise...following my restrictive diet with a partner around and going out so often makes it harder. We have are going to the stadium to watch some football today...you know what that means...more Gluten and Lactose in my belly. I wish stadiums and cinemas would allow outside food in, then I would be able to take my own (I always sneak in some food when possible)...the problem I have is not munching in while watching these things. My mouth needs to be moving at these events

That sounds absolutely logical and not like an excuse. On the other hand I feel more motivated to cook if I´m doing it for more than one person so I guess there are pros and cons to everything.
 
Well done, re the continued loss - and I'm agreeing with LaMa that it doesn't sound like an excuse at all to note that trying to fit in another person's foody and going-out life makes sticking to a restrictive diet harder - sounds just exactly what happens!

That's really pretty nasty of them - to try to force people to eat their (probably not terribly nutritious) merchandise, for the sake of screwing an extra few dollars from people who've probably already paid them well for the privilege of being part of the watching crowd - that's not being good corporate citizens! Solidarity to the healthy-food smugglers' fightback!
 
Weight Today: 61.7kg

Food Intake:
1 tomato with a teaspoon of olive oil and herbs
2 slices of LF cheese
1 slice of multi seed GF/DF bread with DF butter
2 eggs
1 pear
1 cup of blueberries
1 bar of GF/DF chocolate (191calories)
2 crisp bread crackers GF/LF
300g of chicken noodle soup
1 tbsp of LF cream cheese
1 cup of 2in1 Nescafé
1 cup of hot cocoa
2 digestive cookies (GF/DF)
1 closed fist of nuts and raisins

Exercise:
100 squats

Notes:
I’ve been MIA because ever since going to the football on Saturday my stomach (nausea) has been getting me in such a low mood. I still went for a good workout yesterday (10km) but today I just didn’t feel like doing much. Praying for a good week with better health...tomorrow Sweetless Tuesday!
 
It is such a shame that there are no healthy options at sports matches. I would have no qualms about taking healthy food in, but last time I went to an Australian rules football match they made me tip out my thermos of herbal tea. I mean, really?
 
Last time a friend convinced me to go watch a soccer match (a screening, not at the stadium) they wanted me to not only empty out but discard my plastic water bottle so I couldn't find a tap somewhere and refill it. I balked and went home instead (was kind of grumpy about unexpectedly having to watch sports anyway and I'm not throwing out a perfectly good bottle).
 
:flame: at the above tales of sports venues/operators attempting to force-sell their crummy over-priced (I'm guessing) refreshments; it's unethical and abusive, and could easily (in the sometimes savagely hot Australian weather, at least) endanger people's health, via dehydration.

Hope this week gets better for you, Caligirl, and that you're breezing through Sweetless Tuesday.
 
Thanks everyone, it’s nice to hear I’m not the only one that struggles with the whole food at stadiums/cinemas situation. I’ve definitely sneak in food at these places whenever possible, this Saturday they didn’t check handbags (they did last time I went). I think for the future I will prepare a little snack and risk sneaking in, and debating my health if they create a problem with it. :doh:
 
Weight Today: 61.7kg

Food Intake:
120g of prawn gyoza
1/2 tbsp of LF cream cheese
2 hoisin duck bao buns
10 prawn crackers
150ml of lime juice
1 bowl of salad (carrot, onion, lettuce) seasoned with tsp of olive oil and sea salt herbs
2 medium tomato
2 thin slices of chicken breast
2 GF/DF crispy bread crackers with DF butter
2 slices LF cheese
1 pear
2 cups of 2in1 Nescafé
30g of nuts

Exercise:
11,5km on treadmill
100 squats
100 abs variation
30 tricep dips

Notes: feeling much better from cold, survived another Tuesday without sweets (it’s really not that bad, if it wasn’t for the fact that in about 1 months time or so I will go thru lent and that means 40 days without sweets - fruits only, I would say I would actually be ready to do Sweetless Tuesdays and Thursdays).

All that said, as I mentioned on my first post on this new diary I have been dealing with a few issues regarding hormones/contraception/etc. I’m dealing with an ovarian cyst at the moment and as far as I know that can affect weight loss, that being said - I hope it’s nothing serious (it’s a slow process sorting this out through NHS) BUT, I am trying my best fitness/food wise with given circumstances. I am grateful that I have a high tolerance for pain...a month ago while doing my 5km park run I felt one of the cysts rupture...I only decreased my running but still managed to keep going despite the pain. 1hr later things fell to the normal discomfort I usually get. Hopefully things will sort out in the next few weeks/months, because it’s been one of the things that’s getting me down emotionally too.

thanks everyone for the continuous support!
Xx
 
That's extraordinary, about feeling the cyst rupture, and keeping on running despite the pain. I'm not surprised that "normal discomfort" plus serious pain is getting you down. Hugs and best wishes for things to get sorted and treated soon.

Cysts suck. Had 'em, don't miss 'em. Hope I won't get any anymore now that my iud's out.

indeed, I’ve had small cysts and issues with contraception since my teen years. I had an IUD for 2 cycles (10yrs) and never had any issue during those years. Kept out for 2yrs and four months ago decided to put IUD back again, but this time my body is not taking it so well. Hoping this gets sorted soon bc my family has history of cancer and I need to keep an open eye with this cyst situation.

Notes: I must confess...I am feeling down and a bit uninspired to come here and write on my diary. For no particularly reason other than not feeling like it. Tomorrow will be 1 month since my “return” to the forum, and while I’ve had some weight loss - my mood has been less than exciting lately. I am struggling with my health and with work, and just trying my best food/fitness wise...but I definitely think that stress is playing a role in my capacity to achieve my fitness/food goals. I need to remind myself to come here and write anyways...it’s not always perfect for me, nor it is for anyone else in this journey. We must remember to be kind to ourselves throughout the process...here is to a happy new week to all of us!
 
I'm sorry to hear you are just not feeling it, CaliGirl, but kudos to you for continuing to look after your health & wellbeing. Your food always sounds good & you are very active. Stress makes everything hard. Keep on doing what you can to lessen that. Thanks for checking in with us, xo
 
What Care said. Sticking with it when things go smoothly is easy but sticking with it when you aren't feeling it is where long-term weight control comes in.
