Trimlee's refeed - Page 3 - MiniMins.com

pinkiepie · 9th September, 2008

hey trim well done on the 1lb losses the last 2 weeks, it looks like whatever your doing is working for you. I'm reading all your refeed threads with great interest, i must say i'm very nervous about starting it at the end of the month (i've decided i'm refeeding at the end of this month whatever weight i am). It sounds much harder than the comfort zone of TFR, anyway keep it up trim and good luck this week xx

trimlee · 9th September, 2008

Hi Pinkie, thanks. Go into maintenance armed with as much info as possible and the same determination as on the TFR phase. We'll all be here to support one another. Going back into foodland is a bit daunting although exciting. You can do this!

trimlee · 12th September, 2008

I've been good so far this week, then last night I scoffed a big chunk of birthday cake...

.
I now know exactly what mood eating is. I was feeling a bit upset and then in went the cake. Grrrr..

trimlee · 12th September, 2008

Saw Dr today re: backache with lump near spine. Lump turned out to be a lipoma, bachache turned out to be mainly from muscle spasm, xray turned out normal, and I turned out grateful to God that I've haven't done serious injury to my backbone! Now you bet I'll be more careful when exercising. Phew!

nicki26 · 12th September, 2008

glad that is isnt anything serious hun,take it easy xxxxx

trimlee · 14th September, 2008

cheers Nicki!

trimlee · 15th September, 2008

Half a pound on this week... Not surprised given that indulged a couple of times, TOTM and exercised less. Still, I feel in control as I am beginning to understand better what works for me and what doesn't. Now to put it to pracitce.
On with the journey..!

nicki26 · 15th September, 2008

not bad hun, could've been much worse.... how many calories would you say you were having in a day ? xxxx

trimlee · 15th September, 2008

Been trying to aim for something like this most days :
b/fast = maintenance bar + 2 cups ot tea (~250cals)
snack = yoghurt or fruit or ryvita or snackerjacks or carrot sticks (~100 cals)
lunch= slimfast bar + drink (~250cals)
snack = 100 to 150 cals
dinner= about 600cals

Total about 1200 to 1300 cals. I really am still trying hard to work out how many cals I'm eating daily and try not to go above that total because I still nedd to shift about 3kg!
What do you aim for daily Nicki?

nicki26 · 15th September, 2008

having up to 1500 a day i think apart from the naughty days but i am also struggling to do an accurate calorie count, we shall see lol who knows what this weeks weigh in will bring xxxxx

trimlee · 15th September, 2008

Steep learning curve for us hey! We'll definitely succeed though!

trimlee · 18th September, 2008

I've just realised that I've not been posting here about my exercise routines which, I think are as important to maintenance as watching what we eat. I've been posting 'Trimlee's exercise diary' on the fitness and exercise thread which comes under 'Health, Nutrition & Recipes'.

Today I'm starting a running programme 'Couch to 5k' which is meant to turn couch potatoes like me into runners! I'm hoping that in a couple of weeks I won't be huffing and puffing and wheezing and gasping after a few minutes running. I remember one day when I'd run for the train a very concerned passenger asked if I was alright, oooh.....!

trimlee · 18th September, 2008

Yay,I've started running, finally! I have decided to use an interval-training podcast. I went this morning and quite enjoyed it even though I did get a bit out of breath. I felt all revved up and virtuous after the session!
There are 2 running podcasts programmes that are available to download for free from iTunes:
1) Podcasts for running - Couch to 5k. A nine-week programme.
I thought this was very good as the guy uses lots of verbal prompts and ypou know exactly where you are, but I didn't enjoy the music, I found it a bit harsh and acidic!
2) Podrunner intervals -it has 3 programmes: First day to 5K, Gateway to 8K, and Freeway to 10K.
This covers a lot more as you have a programme that can train you up to 10K. The music is not as harsh and it has the beats specifically timed. There are less voice prompts though.

On the whole, either of these progrmmes is excellent. I plan to continue with the Podrunner intervals.

trimlee · 18th September, 2008

Yesterday I ate rice as if it was going out of fashion. Today I am behaving myself.
Breakfast = maintenance bar (yummy!)
Snack = snackerkack ricecake
Lunch = Veggie hotpot (mixed veg plus chickpeas and baby potatoes -all stewed) and a piece of grilled chicken. Was very nice.
Snack =plan to have a yoghurt
Dinner = plan to have sweetcorn cob + green beans + grilled chicken

Teg · 19th September, 2008
