A fresh new start for Raspberry Oatmeal!

[RaspberryOatmeal]

1250 cals is great. esp.nice to see it with 'exciting' food as opposedto run of the mill, 'steamed fish with veg' type food!!

Definitely! I would rather eat less but of foods I like as opposed to more of foods that I'm not particularly fond of, such as: nuts; heaping piles of vegetables; grains; soup; fish or porridge. I know they're good for you, and that you should include some healthy food in your diet, but tbh I would get SO bored and would end up falling off the diet wagon - big time.

I think "moderation" is key, so you're not depriving yourself.

Oh my goodness, they are amazing aren't they? So addictive.

I've been to the gym 4 times this week and today I've done 30 minutes on the cross trainer and lots of weights.​

 

[Little Noo]

im a fellow weight trainer too! what sorts of exercises do u use and do u stick to light weights or use heavy ones? xxx

 

[RaspberryOatmeal]

Thanks and yeah I do a mixture of light and heavy.

Dinner:

Total:
1400 calories​

EDIT: Ooooooops! Ended up caving to chocolate! So that makes it 1,700 calories - that's okay, because I won't gain from that.

 

[Goin'down]

Doin well raspberry...my only question tho is - how do u stop at just 3 quality street?!?!? Id have the whole tin munched in an hr! lol

 

[RaspberryOatmeal]

Haha, the thing is, I didn't stop at three in the end!
I ended up having another small handful. So that would make my total for yesterday roughly around 1,700 calories.

I'm going to Pizza Hut with my friends later, and I'm was planning on just having a starter of chicken wings (350 calories) but then that's just being silly. I'm planning on having chicken arribiata with one piece of garlic bread (600 calories). I usually allow around 1,700 - 2,000 calories on Fridays and Saturdays anyway.

Breakfast:
2 x weetabix and milk with a bit too much sugar (300)​

Lunch:
Mackerel (200)
Monster Munch (100)
Cereal bar (100)
Apple (50)
Ginger biscuit (50)​

Dinner:
*Planning on having chicken arribiata pasta with 1 x garlic bread at Pizza Hut (600)*​

Total:
Probably about 1,400 calories (knowing me, I'll end up consuming more by the end of the day ).​

ACTUALLY I ENDED UP EATING AROUND 2,000 CALORIES I had loads of other random crap as well as my meal. I definitely don't think I went over 2,000 - so it's all gravy! ​

 

[Goin'down]

Yea the occasional treat never hurt anyone

 

[RaspberryOatmeal]

Pizza Hut was great I ended up having ravioli and 1 piece of garlic bread (that comes free with every pasta dish) which ended up being 650 calories. I had so much fun as well.

So, for today..hmm, I've gone just over 2,000 calories. Oh well, this weekend has been SO much better than the last one! The damage (if there is any) will be easily repairable ! Butttt if I want to lose quite a bit of weight before Christmas, I seriously need to pull my finger out and be STRICT for once!!!

Sooooo, I haven't been here for a while!

I think I've lost around a pound or so since my last visit, but I've mainly been eating 2,000 calories - so I've been maintaining! I think I'll just eat around that up until January when I'll begin to seriously diet again.
