Clover's Journey :) xx

[Clover89]

Yeah it really is hard on long day shifts.I'm rubbish at planning food and batch cooking. Need to get into the habit of it. Tomorrow I've packed a 'nu me' spelt chicken risotto ready meal as I need to go shopping, satsuma, banana, chopped strawberry and kiwi, Alpen bar, 2yogurts and a tin of ww soup for the eve. It seems loads but I leave the house at 5.30am and get in at 22.30 so that is literally my whole day of food.

Still not sure whether I should have breakfast at 5am (never want it that early) and have a piece of fruit at 11am or skip it first thing and have breakfast At 11 and have a later lunch. Hmm! What kind of nurse are you? Im based on a community hospital ward at the moment xx

Reading a book called the beck diet solution - train Ur brain to think like a thin person by Judith beck. Very interesting! X

Hi Clover, thought I would subscribe as at the start of diary looks like a few of your HE measurements were wrong, I know you said you were using old books and the HE measurements have changed since then (I go to group now but was doing the same following old books and nearly cried when I realised I'd been sticking to the wrong measurements!! I know a few of the cereal amounts and a good few cheese amounts have too). So if you stick measurements on I can keep a check on them for you (the 2 weetabix are still ok) I do a mixture of plans but tend to be mostly red days now as I have better losses and so close to target I need them!! Gemma x

 

[Clover89]

Oh no! What's changed? Im using 2011 books. Thankyou so much for pointing it out. I am quite boring food wise and just tend to He B of 2weetabix or 28g porridge or 4 original ryvita or 2Alpen lights.. Is that still correct? And A's - 350ml skimmed milk or 3 light triangles?

Thank You again!x

It's 35g of porridge oats now, x2 weetabix, x2 Alpen Lights and skimmed milk are still ok, think at the start you had All Bran... well that's 40g now. Cheese Triangles depends what you are having...??

 

[gemma1985]

and 4 ryvita original or dark rye are still good

 

[Clover89]

Its the ones from Lidl? I usually have 2 a day if I use it as HE. Weird how they change it by a few grams! Thankyou for your help! Xx

 

[Clover89]

Had a green day yesterday, felt really ill And went back to my old ways and ate 200g of wholenut chocolate and 150g of cheese don't even wana know the Syns and sat fat.. I don't keep these in the house as they are binge foods for me, same as crisps. But I went out of my way yesterday to go and pick some up. Really disappointed in myself.
