Take a look at what I wrote, read "between the lines", and spin off ideas that can work for you.
ok... 15 minutes on, and a large glass of water I managed to get rid of the sweet craving.. only just..
Thats my first official craving in 5 days...
Will power worked
water worked
guess I need more of the alternative sweet stuff in the fridges.. gonna work on this...
OK, now Im feeling in a clear mind, I do want to have a drink tonight - so does anybody know the best way for me to do this?
drink tonight, and eat less tomorrow?
drink tonight, follow my normal plan tomorrow?
or dont drink at all?
well.. couple of points to not today... last night ..... Ok.. it got the better of me, and controlled me.. I had a few drinks.. and then a few more..and some rather bad food but strangely all the way through I had an incredible feeling of guilt, something Ive not had before... so being in here has helped.. and would you believe it.. got up today and joined a gym!
I spent 1.5 hours in there, kicked off with about 20 minutes on the treadmill, and then I went round most of the machines to basically get used to them.
I did 3 sets of 10 on most of the machines.
food: target 2160 max cals
Breakfast
2 slices wholemeal bread @ 100 cals/slice = 200 cals
2 teaspoons lurpak extra light @ 52 cals each - 104 cals
tea with skimmed milk 20 cals
total: 324 cals
Lunch @ 12.00:
very small baked potato 100 cals
Tuna in sunflower oil 197 cals
mixed salad(carrot & lettuce & Cucumber) 18 cals
low fat natural yoghourt + 2 strawberries and some blueberries - 70 cals
glass of water
x3 low cal apple bars @ 55 cals each (165 cals)
total 550 cals
subtotal 550 + 324 = 874 cals
Thanks

With weight training - should I go for the heaviest weight I can and do 3 sets of 10?
Is the aim to try and increase weight amount?
Or stay at a lower weight and do more reps?
What would make sense if I was to workout say 4 or 5 times a week?
Should I work certain body parts one day,ánd others the next? Ive heard of this being done.
Anyhow...I challenge you to go cold turkey for a period of time of your choosing.
You will see what all this beer is doing to you then
Eric
Tuna in oil is yuck, next time give tuna in water a try. Less calories, without the oily taste.
Yes, you should be doing the heaviest amount of weight you can, and each time your goal is to try and get stronger and to push weight. This is how you build strength and muscle.
Do a search for full body workouts, it will answer your questions.
Hi Eric - super post! ummm now then.. umm hmm arrrhh mm.. lol... Im actually goiong to decline the challenge.. I did think about it, but I kind of think I would be okay if I spaced it out more, and perhaps had less.
I really do enjoy a drink, I need to be better at controlling how many I ahve in any one session.
On a sort of serious note, here in the Uk there have been over the years, dozens of claims that actually a small drink a day is good for you.. personally, if I can control the number then I'm happy to continue - my issue is with control though... so Im thinking ahead now.. what I might do in the future is just buy the beer as and when I need it, and only buy a couple of cans... instead of enjoying supermarket offers where you buy 24 cans for like $20(cheap here in the uk!)
