Ok some how ive managed to have more calories today than yesterday. Madness now i have added more milk to up my calcium etc and have had more fruit (banana's are so high in calories). But boy do calories go up so fast. Must be good tomorrow and have no treats coz i need to stop thinking its ok to have them everyday coz its not. Just coz they are low fat doesnt mean its ok. Im totally writing this to knock some sense into myself. Im under 1700 calories but I dont think i shud be up so high so fast. AAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!! Im not panicking ill be grand just need to research calorie limits i think. I feel like im being 'normal' to fast with food. haha!

Sunday 06/12/09 Day 19
Breakfast ~ 50g of lizi's Granola with 100ml of Slimline milk- actually drank the milk at the end very proud of that my doctor will be so happy she's been trying to get me to have milk for years haha!
*plum before gym
*mandarin after gym
Lunch ~ Spicy quorn chicken slices with crunchy salad and salsa. Alpen Light Bar
only 60cals a bargain
Snack ~ Throughout the day 100g of green grapes
Dinner ~ 4oz of Chicken, 20g of roast beef, 140g of baby potatoes with mixed veg.
Desert ~ Rachel's low fat rhubarb yogurt with mixed berries.
So i've decided I have been eating too much too quickly I'm gonna stick to 1200-1300 cal day for a while. I want to lose nearly another stone to be happy and comfortable so i think this might be the way forward. I was reading up on weight loss through maintenance products and they say a good trick is to have one with a low cal breakfast and one before dinner and have another low cal meal. I know I keep changing my mind its annoying me too but I guess i don't feel comfortable with what i'm doing (it feels wrong) so I must try something new.

So I weighted myself (just for the laugh) this morning and I supposibly lost 6lbs in one day haha my body is so messed up right now i dont know what weight to take for real. So Im just gonna go ahead with my plan to keep to 1300 cals a day and see if i notice a different. Seems strange that even thou i was eating more the last few days that i lose weight. Dont think ill ever understand all of this. But I think if i can find something where i dont feel guilty about eating ill be happy.

Exercise
So went to the gym dis morning after breakfast now i thought i was hungry during the work out but the more I done the less i felt hungry it was great. I really tried to push myself and i actually broke a sweat today on all my cardio machines so im happy about that.
20 mins on Threadmill with 4 incline speed 4.5-5
15 mins on bike covered approx 3 miles so happy
15 mins on ski machine Could feel my glutes burning after it haha!
10 mins on swimming machine arms were burning alot!
10 mins on floating machine (still havnt found out the name for it) Managed much better on this today before i was dying, its still hard work thou!
100 stomach crunches on machine(this is giving me bruises on my shoulders) I done 50 with a heavier weight and cud feel it working think ill try do 100 with this weight tomorrow.
10 lengths of pool ( really felt fitter today in the pool, had to share a lane so had to keep up a certain speed which made me actually try harder and complete a full length without stopping)
sauna and steam naturally hoping doing this will stop the muscle pain tomorrow haha!
35 mins walk

So I have decided to change my weigh in day to 2day. My weight seems to bounce around a lot and Ive decided to just take 2day's weight and go on from there. Luckily it was a good weigh in i weighted on my weighing scales but its not very accurate so went down to the wii for an exact weight and Im offically 62.3kg which is 9stone 8lbs. So lost 4lbs. WOO HOO!
Prob will be back up again but at least I am prepared for it being up and down once it comes back down again and my clothes still fit ill be happy.

Well done a.m
Hate to burst yer bubble though just bare in mind all scales are diff and my wii board weighed me 3lbs lighter than the pharmacy. But aslong as you stick to 1 set of scales all should be gravy x

Oh i know but i weighted myself on 2 scales and i was the same. and not dat pushed going to the pharmacy again. Always leave feeling crap so don't want to experience that again. Maybe Ill go weigh there once a month or something but ill take it by year.
