Hi Von

Thanks for reading my diary, i'm really pleased I've given you some ideas. Here's the link to the carbonara below, there are a few variations... think i'm doing the one with quark(never tried it so hoping it's good)

Let me know how it was

Carbonara recipe

Hi chickadee, thank you so much, i'm going to have this for dinner tomorrow so i will let you know how mine turns out. xx

 

[chickadee83]

Just some thoughts.........

Haven't been feeling great today, sore tummy, really horrible bloaty feeling(thinking TOTM might be due) I've ate quite a bit today but have felt like a bottomless pit!!

Made a lovely Risotto for my dinner, left some in the pot for tomorrow but I've gone and polished it all off tonight, 250 g's

Wish i'd not had dessert today at lunch as i'm worried it will ruin my chances of a loss on Friday, wouldn't be so bothered if I hadn't ate and drank loads on Sat. And to top it all off i'm going out for lunch tomorrow with friends! Supposed to be having a few drinks too but think i'll stick to soft drinks.

It's week 2 of kettelworx CORE tomorrow so I'm looking forward to getting a good workout Have to buy myself a measuring tape so I can take down some stats. I have also taken some photos as I think these are a good way to help keep me motivated

Haven't quite decided if i'll do red/gree/ee tomorrow, will see how I feel in the morning!

Off out to meet friends at half 2 for lunch, going to a place where you can have a ' build your own salad' so think i'll do that and get loads of SF in jumped on scales today in the hope that the 1.75 gain had gone but the sales were showing another 2lbs gain!!! Tbh I don't completely believe it, think I may just need a toilet trip! It's still annoying though, haven't Been on plan 100% cos I've had things on this week but don't think my choices have been too bad and I've gone without syns to compensate!! Arrrghh!!

WI this morning was better than expected, gained 0.75 lb which wasn't too bad considering my week-end and lunches out! Really do NOT want to gain again though. So far in 3 weeks i've lost 4.25lbs. Decided to set myself a mini-challenge to lose 2.75lbs this week to get my 1/2 stone. I'll be thrilled if I can do it Have lunch out with my friends on Thursday but that's about it, back to work on Monday and staying off the booze this weekend(even though it's my 28th birthday on Friday )

Still going strong with the kettleworx programme but might need to up my game this week and go for a few jogs. I ran 10k in May but haven't been running since so will prob struggle!

[chickadee83]

Think I'm gonna opt for a green day today, feeling like I need to mix it up a bit after 0.75 gain! Really determined to lost 2.75/3 lbs this week! Had a long lie this morning and feel nice and refreshed did kettleworx week 2 cardio last night and although it was tough it didn't kill me like last week! Can walk ok today!! Still haven't taken my measurements but have taken more recent pics and after comparing I can see a slight difference( and that's only with 3 weeks SW and 2 weeks kw plus the odd ten mins abs )

Anyhow my food...13.08.2011- green

Brekkie- omlette with mushrooms, toms, pepper and feta cheese- Hexa

Lunch- Superspeed soup - yuuuummmy and soo filling!
recipe - carrots, red pepper, red onion, kidney beans, butter beans, garden peas, baked beans, chicken stock!)

Dinner- Pasta( blended soup and had as a sauce!)
side salad with lf dressing - 2 syns
jaffa cake bar - 4 syns


Hexb- to be added!

 

[chickadee83]

Some pictures I've taken to keep myself motivated and track my progress

Obviously in the start photo I was NOT overweight(10st 11.5 lbs) but I was not at my 'happy' weight!(9st 7lbs)

Think there is a slight difference and I feel uing the kettlebells has definitely contributed to this. Hope i'm not kidding myself and others can see a slight dif too??! Will update in a few weeks!

Brekkie-2 weetabix and ss milk- HEXA and HEXB

Whoops just remembered I forgot to eat my hexbs yesterday!!

 

[Charmel]

Hi chickadee

I just wanted to say wow! I can see a difference in those photos - can't believe how close together in time they are. Kettle bells clearly work! Very envious of your flat stomach - keep up the good work x

 

[chickadee83]

Hi charmel

Thanks, I will certainly be keeping up the kettlebells! Glad you can see a difference too I wasn't sure if I was kidding myself- I just can't believe the quick results! Would defo recommend kettlebells to anyone x

 

[skinnybride2013]

Hi, I just read through your diary as we're similar height and weight with the same target (9st 7) I have been back twice as long as you but as I have had sooo many events - 18th birthdays, weddings, hen party's etc etc its been slow but at least its comming off. Your pics show a huge difference, i'm on day 8 of the 30 day shred and taken measurements but maybe photos are the way to go!

Great menu's/days I too am mixing it up this week and next but I cracked today (*week) and ate cheescake for lunch woops - but just made superspeed soup for the rest of the week. Good luck with your weight loss and your kettlebells

 

[chickadee83]

Hey, thanks for Reading! I just write for my own benefit but it's nice to hear ppl actually read what I've written

I'm on my iPhone just now so can't see your stats but I know how hard it Is when social events come up! As much as you try to stay on plan it's difficult and you want to indulge a little! I intend for SW to become a way of life rather than a diet( as I'm sure most do) so guess you just have to accept that these things are part of living( and what life is for!!) so try not beat yourself up!!

I thought about taking measurements but I still havent bought a tape measure and tbh Im not even sure where to measure and would prob have to pen myself with a permenant Marker to ensure I was measuring the same areas every week! I think photos are the way to go!! I was beating myself up for a tiny gain this week but then I look at the photos and it keeps me motivated

The soup is yummy, my boyfriend and I have eaten a pot full since yesterday!! Hope you enjoy! Do you have a diary? Would like a look

 

[chickadee83]

Oh and good luck with the shred I gave up after about 8 days got so bored of it!
