Becky's Diet Diary

[blubex]

If your doing 5:2 you should be having more than your usual cals on normal days...search the fast diet in google and they have a calculator based on weight and height etc to determine how many cals you should be having x

I'm trying to make up for the biscuit binge I had over the weekend this week so my cals for the week average out at 1200 consumed per day (even with the 500 day bringing it down) normally I will eat more on non fast days than I am today so that my weekly average is right!

I should have 1500 on non fast days so with the 2 fast days I'll average at 1200 per day over the week

Well done for your fast day did you find it difficult or was it ok? I'm doing rubbish on the exercise front recently!!

it wasn't as bad as I was expecting as I had a really busy morning at work so I didn't think about food till about 11.30 then held off till lunch time I was in bed at 8 though watching a film to keep me out of the kitchen! I think doing 30 day shred on a fast day was a bad idea! I'm going to look on you tube for a 30 minute yoga program to do on my fast days going forward!

I was struggling to get back into diet and exercise after Christmas. ... part of that was because the gym is really busy and it was doing my head in. ... I've mixed it up with a few dvds at home now though. ... I have to tell myself off and make myself do the thirty minutes some days but once I start I get into it... If I'm really struggling for motivation I have a couple of caffeine tablets (I don't drink tea or coffee) to give me a little energy boost :O

I can't do the shred! I'm not a jumping around out of breath type of person I have invested in some winter bib tights and a jacket for cycling which arrived today so once the snow has gone I can get out on my road bike. Just need the motivation... Look up yoga with Adrienne on YouTube. I find her videos the best

I am not really fit enough for the jumping around to be fair. ... getting there slowly!

cycling is a fantastic way to get in shape my bike lives in the garage because I can never bring myself to get on it! I used to bike to and from work everyday which is 5 miles each way and lost loads of weight from it. ..I keep saying I'll start again but keep finding excuses not to!

I'll have a look at the yoga videos. .. Thanks x Will have to be tomorrow now as left my laptop at work!

exercise day 13 - 30 day shred, 1 hour on the treadmill, 25 minutes on the cross trainer and then a 10 minute cool down on the bike

 

[blubex]

I feel like I've eaten loads over the last two days. .. my calories have come in below 1500 both days (not taking exercise into account) and with my fast days this averages out to 1200 per day. ....

I feel like I'm eating too much though and I find exercise on fast days really hard. .. even if it's just a walk, then the day after fasting all I want to do is eat!

I'm planning a fast day tomorrow but if I get to my weigh day on Thursday and I haven't lost then I will probably just go back to my 1200 per day which I found easy to manage. ......

 

[zippygeorgeandben]

You can do it blubex

 

[systema]

You should be fine when you are averaging 1200 a day and not eating back the exercise cals. I walked 12 miles today and was absolutely starving by 5pm and we were not eating until 7 so faffing about with a slice of toast - shall I eat it etc and decided I would then felt guilty for ages. Looked at MFP and I had earned almost 1000 today so then wanted to eat another.
