Christina's Maintenance Diary :S

[missy3]

Hi! Finished my re-feed week, but haven't weighed yet.. but shall do that tomorrow. I had a weigh on Friday which was day 5 of re-feed and I was exactly the same.. so I suppose that is better than a plus.

I was trying to have a plan today, but it was my first day in a new job and so was very disorganised.

I think i've made a big mistake and i feel like i've had a lot of food, too much don't wanna get into this habit, so think i've learnt my lesson today.

I'll try to be very honest with this diary.. and please tell me if i've made a disaster of a day.

Day 1

*Baked potato with teaspoon of lf cottage cheese and chives

*Wholemeal Pitta with chicken breast, fat free mayo and mixed salad leaves.

*Lean Mince cooked in water with peas, carrots, onions and garlic. With tablespoon of pasta.

*WW fat free yogurt
*Plum
*Kiwi

Hi Christina!! This is brilliant we're getting lots of maintainers now!!

Is that right you had a baked potato for your breakfast?? ... I mean - I suppose when you think about it if you'd had cereal it might have been about the same amount of carbs - that just seemed a bit - well - unusual .... Maybe I'm just old and boring

A 'stay the same' on refeed is ideal!

Look forward to seeing how you get on xx

Oh btw - You don't have to TRY to be honest .... just be honest. It's pointless posting your food if you're not! xx

I was at my new job so it was kinda a late breakfast/lunch. I used to have the previous nights takeaway pizza for my breakfast.. so i think i've improved a wee bit lol

Hi Christina, WELCOME to maintenance. Hurray we have two newbies!! You did really well losing the weight, well done for treating maintance seriously. x

 

[missy3]

Looking forward to it, but still freaked out... have a question.. Can we have baked beans? i've been having a serious craving for some beans?

 

[JanD]

You're maintaining - you can have whatever you want - just in moderation. I would have a small tin to myself - I think that's acceptable xx

 

[size10bikini]

Hun you can have whatever you want now as your maintaining. Baked beans are a lot better than choc and crisps which I do have sometimes but mostly healthy eat. Someone on this board said follow the 20/80 rule. I think beans are pretty good anyway

Hi, how are you doing?

 

[missy3]

Hi! Started my new job so i'm missing my mini's fix..

Yesterdays Diary :

Breakfast:
Baked beans and wholegrain pitta toasted (tum)

Lunch:

Tuna salad wholegrain Pitta with cherry toms, mixed lettuce leaves, fat free mayo.

Dinner:

(was out for dinner, I ordered chilli and the menu had a list of ingredients)

Ground beef, tomato, garlic, kidney beans, onion, spices
with
Rice

BUT! something that I have never ever done before..-> I left loadssss on the plate.

I decided when it came out that the portion size was far too big so I asked for another plate and emptied half of the meal onto the other plate, then ate from my half portion, it meant that i didn't pressure myself into eating everything, just cos it was there.. then from my half portion, i ate about 1/2. I was soo pleased with myself.

It was a really early dinner for me.. maybe around 4ish.

I got kind of hungry around 8 as I was at the cinema, but decided not to have anything else that day.

Breakfast: 2x weetabix with skimmed milk

Lunch: Baked potato with baked beans, fat free yogurt

(snack? ) Wholegrain pitta with chicken salad.

Dinner: Small piece of turkey with tbsp of cabbage and tbsp of turnip

Wow Christina, you are showing fabulous willpower, well done you! Is the new job going ok? X

 

[missy3]

Loved it surprisingly! Maybe just a nice change from 5 years doing the same thing.

Today:

Breakfast: weight watchers Fat free yogurt

Lunch: Baked potato with baked beans + Weight watchers Carrot soup.

Not sure for dinner.. i'd planed a salad, but its rainy and snowy and cold and I fancy something more warm and cosy.. hmm..

 

[SandraB]

OMG ...DID YOU SAY SNOWY?????

 

[missy3]

Yes! i was quite excited too as i love winter! but it quickly turned to slushy. Fingers crossed for a snowy covered belfast tomorro
