Hi guys, can I just shout this out.... ONE MORE DAY, ONE MORE DAY, ONE MORE DAY....:smash::smash:

As expected with the no exercise, the feeling sorry for myself and TOM, I've gained weight, I am not surprised, actually I was expecting it, but today is the last day of the EXERCISE BAN, as I am calling it, tomorrow, I'm jumping in with both hands on the wheel, but I will take it easier, seems I have been overdoing it, especially when I told a fellow co-worker who is on a life-style change as I am with exercise and diet, she said what I was doing was extreme when it came to the exercise... go figure, and I thought I was not doing enough. Anyway I guess mixing Chalean and Jillian, and squats and leg-lifts at least 5 times a week is too much to be doing at my weight, so I'll cut back and do more cardio and less HIT.

Seems I am behind with the logging in, so here I go...

Wednesday
B:cheesy bread, o.j.
L: salad, boiled veggies, broiled fish
S: slice of birthday cake
D: cornflakes

Thursday
B: ham and cheese sandwich, tea
S: fiber-one bar
L: crab n rice, turkey, ham, Bahamian mac n cheese
S: fiber-one bar
D: cornflakes
S: big mac, fries, ice-tea.. (can't explain this one, about 11-12 Thursday night I had a craving out of this world for mcdonalds, sent my baby cousin for it.. really could not explain this one, and after I ate it, I was able to sleep like a baby.... aarghhh the calories....)

Friday
B: cornflakes
L: grilled chicken, baked potato, corn, roll
S: coconut tart
D: grilled chiken, baked potato

Saturday
B: cornflakes
L: chicken and fries
D: cornflakes

Sunday
B: cornflakes
L: peas n rice, steamed fish, coleslaw (got my colours in this one)
D: cornflakes

I know looking at my diet you would think, no wonder she is putting on weight, look at what she eats, but I have to tell you, they are all portion sized, well except the mcdonalds and the chicken and fries, I believe in not depriving, but in appropriate sizing, that is what helps with me not over doing it or falling off the wagon... at least until TOM then all rules go out the window.:smilielol5:

Hi guys, how are you all this foine Monday?

Trying to update this everyday so here I go.

The three colours were:

Corn (left-over from a Steak-Out)

Okay, now other than those

D: Oats (please see lunch and snack to explain this)

Bad news, today was my once a month treat to the movies, watched STAR TREK, awesome movie:iagree:, and enjoyed myself, I know the menu looks bad, but I did not have the nacho chips and pizza even though I REALLY, REALLY, REALLY WANTED TO.:biggrinjester:

Hi guys, okay let's do this....

due to circumstances beyond my control I could not exercise this morning (small voice TOM from HELL), but I did get in my challenge points with the food.

Tuesday

B: yellow grits, eggs with sausage bits
L: bean and rice, baked turkey, plantain, mixed veg (the mixed veg is where I got my colours, it was carrots (orange), cabbage (white) and broccoli(green)) My co-worker brought me lunch, so I just split it in half telling her I would eat the second half for lunch tomorrow, so I know it was less than a cup of rice, but ah well.. I still ate over 1200 calories so all good.
D: cornflakes

I know, it really seems like I eat a lot of cornflakes:ack2:, but its so easy to prepare and requires very little thought, and has way, way less calories than if I actually ate something else for dinner:coolgleamA:

p.s. My cuz is trying to get me to try the HCG drops, anyone have any info on them? I've read up on the stuff on the internet, but something that good and easy just doesn't ring true with me. any info given would be appreciated.
 
Tuesday food:

500g Total 0% Greek yoghurt
2 tins apricots
green grapes
250g low fat yoghurt
blueberries
salmon, peas, sweetcorn
2 pieces s/f gum

1 ltr water at salsa
1 ltr sparkling water - pear

I have broken a tooth and lost a huge chunk of it. It is causing a fair bit of pain and is making me want to eat and drink differently. The tooth is very jagged too...

The earliest appointment that they gave me was for Wednesday next week. I am going to nag them that I want an earlier appointment if someone cancels...

I cannot see me having 3 litres of water today because drinking hurts... I am having enough of a struggle with this 2nd litre.
 
Hey you all! I am back from traveling!! :)

OMEGA - quick question about the challenge - i don't have to count calories if I can exercise, right? I can still do an hour of exercise (not injured) - I am not really into calorie counting. It is just an alternative right? That's how I understood it - but I see everyone is logging their food. Thanks!!

Rainbow colors... (continued)
9 peach (yellow) lettuce (green) tomato (red)
10 broccoli (green) banana (yellow) strawberry (red)
11 sweet potato (orange) spinach (green) nectarine (yellow)
12 peach (dark yellow)...

Welcome home from your travels.

It is only the injured people that have the option to save their exercise points if they count calories and bring them in at an appropriate level for weight loss despite the lack of activity. This is a much stricter task than just logging food.

There are two parts to the mini challenge for this week.

- keep logging food in general terms. No counting calories, weighing or measuring - lol just say you have had pizza, doughnuts, butterscotch or whatever...
- hit 3 colours with the fruit / veg

logging food is very important - probably as important as water drinking so I am inclined to keep it as extra - or the challenge could get really boring if it was the only mini challenge every week...
