Thread: Time to be tenacious!

Good morning!!!!

I've never really thought about doing a Diary before, but i'm guessing that's one of the reasons why im in the position I am. Clearly I'm in denial about what is passing these lips!

I have tried so many diets - WW, SW, LL, Atkins. And then I had an epiphany yesterday. I only actually need to eat less calories than i need and i lose weight!!! Fancy that!!!!! I've mooched about on MFP for a while but i'm going to take it seriously now.

So, I have about 4st to lose and i'm going to limit myself to 1300 cals and up the excercise and see where that gets me!

So today will be:

Breakfast - 276
1 x Tesco Light Choices Cumberland Sausage - 78 cals
1 x Activia Cherry Yoghurt - 93 Cals
1 x Banana - 105 Cals

Lunch - 127
2 x Black Cracked Pepepr Ryvita 76 Cals
1 x WW Chicken Noodle Soup - 51 Cals

Dinner - 540
Salt n Pepper Squid - 200 Cals
Chinese Sea Bass - 200 Cals
Tesco Singapore Noodles - 140 Cals

Snacks - 388
Quavers - 88 Cals
White Wine - 300

Total 1331 Calories but please bear in mind that its the Mr's birthday and he's heading over from camp to drink wine with me!

1331 Calories isnt bad for a birthday!

Wednesday 17th April

Breakfast - 80 cals

Milk - 74 Cals
Chocolate finger - 30 cals

Birthday Cake - 200 Cals

Total - 1015 Calories

I am massivley pleased that I only had 1 jelly baby and 1 chocolate finger!

Ok so the reality is that I need to be posting my diary AFTER the event as what i'd like to eat and what i eat are two entirely different things!
I ended up on 1463 Calories yesterday but earnt 240 through exercise so had 47 remaining. I'm cool with that! I have to be honest and say that I'm really enjoying CC. MFP is amazingly useful and i love earning calories through exercise. I did the 2 mile walk Leslie Sansone workout last night and loved it! I just kind of feel like its all coming together at last.
Have a good day xx

Good Morning!!!!!!!
