DIARY:- CCing and exercising to become a loser!

[Snakes and ladders]

Hey, this is not so bad! You were still eating under 2000 cals, so you may still lose - especially if you've been exercising.

There is also some research to suggest that having a day where you eat more calories than usually can boost your base metabolic rate - hence increasing the speed at which you burn calories while doing nothing (or sleeping, or watching telly, you get the picture). This can be as much as 250 extra calories burnt a day!

So don't beat yourself up, you're doing GREAT!

Day 20- 03/09/11.

New day, trying not to get myself worked up about last night's binge. So I got up early today and went to the shops for new gym pants... and I must say that I managed to get into a size eight! I didn't even feel tempted by Mcdonalds, greggs, etc... Had an apple and coco pops bar then I came back to make myself something I'll be jogging/fast walking down to the shopping valley near me to hopefully get a new pair of trainers.

Okay..... so the jogging failed. It started to pour with rain, then my backpack moved awkwardly when I tried to jog, so I ended up just brisk walking there and back, took about 25 minutes to get down there and about 25 to get back home. So that should be a decent exercise. Came back to do 30 Day Shred and I am knackered!

Exercise:- Brisk walking, 30 day shred.

Breakfast - 2 chocolate wheatabix with a handful of cornflakes with semi skimmed milk.. 262 calories.

Lunch - Smiley faces and vegetables 234 calories.

Dinner - Homemade vegetable soup maybe?? With activia yog. 235 calories.

Snacks throughout the day - Apple, coco pops bar, a fruit bag from boots. 197 calories.

Just finished eating my soup and Activia yog. P:

Exercise:- Gym, Brisk walking to town and back, 30 day shred.

Breakfast - 2 chocolate wheatabix with a handful of cornflakes with semi skimmed milk. 262 calories.

Day 22 - 05/09/11.

I am, again, sitting on the sofa shattered!!! I have been walking all over the place today.. walked down the shopping valley, back home, then to tescos, then all the way to sainsburies!! Couldn't do 30 day shred today, too busy and I can hardly walk, cramping!! The Wii fit told me this morning that I have stayed the same but my BMI went down a bit? :/ I was really bloated ( needed the loo...! ) so maybe this affected the STS but oh well. So I am going to set some weekly goals as I am on my way to maintenance:-

- 100 crunches/situps a day (50 day, 50 night).
- Keep calorie intake at 1300 maxium..
- Work out at least 4 times a week.

Exercise:- A LOAD OF WALKING.
3 mile to and back from shopping valley.
1.8 mile to Tesco.
3.7 mile from Tesco to Sainsbury's!!!

Breakfast - 2 chocolate wheatabix with a handful of cornflakes with semi skimmed milk. 262 calories.

Lunch - veg and smiley faces 196 calories.

Dinner - Homemade vegetable soup. Tasted some golden syrup porridge (YUMMMY!). 285 calories.

Snacks throughout the day - tesco fruit bag, wheatabix oat bar, Options hot chocolate - DELISH!!!!, 5 grapes. 176 calories.

Yes, you say 'keep your calorie intake to 1300 maximum' but you can afford to eat that everyday with the amount of exercise you are doing..

You are shattered because you are not eating enough to substain your body's needs with all the exercise like walking, shred etc, like a car, if you don't put enough petrol in it won't go smoothly, it will run out of fuel ..

Try, eat more .. you will have lots more energy for your workouts .. you will be working off the cals & toning up better. You will feel so much better

I hope you are not affended by my comments, i would never want to tell you what you should do, it is your decision .. but, in my opinion, you are not eating enough & your body is holding on to your pounds as it is starving! LOL!

Why not go on myfitnesspal.com, put in your exercise & log your food for a few days, you will see you need more ..

Good luck!

Hey ramblingrose, I am scared that if I start to eat more the pounds will go back on as I have been on such a strict plan. I am going to start eating more though, I am eating so low as I had no progress in ages and was determined to get the last few pounds off. But I know that it is stupid and I need to eat sensibly to lose healthily. Of course I am not offended

I am currently using MFP and I think that is helping but it's making me become a bit obsessed with calorie counting and seeing a "1000"+ on my food tracker scares me as it seems so much but it's not! D:

 

[rambling rose]

1000 calories is not a lot to someone who exercises as you do .. i don't know how you have the energy to workout & do your Zumba's etc!

All you can do is find something that works for you, you have very little to lose to reach your goal so why not try to enjoy that time .. remember that to stay in maintenance you need to be eating a certain amount of cals & exercising in relation to that .. can you really keep up what you are doing now to stay the same? You may be better to up your cals, yes .. you will put on a few lbs but then adjust your exercising to lose them again, gradually is better than trying to lose them too soon .. at least then you will be less stressed about your eating & relax a little ..

I know what i am trying to say, but i can't explain it well

I just wanted to try to help you as you seemed to be saying how tired you are, but i could see why, too few cals & too much exercise ...

I hope you can work it out & be happier with your journey to your goal, good luck!

Day 25 - 08/09/11.

Tomorrow is friday and I have decided that I am going to have a treat day, which is really exciting Am I sad?? I am not going to calorie count tomorrow, nor am I going to go overboard. But I want to enjoy the food I have without feeling guilty typing the calories in on MFP. I'm thinking of fish n chips with a slice of cake at the work canteen. I am doing Zumba later tomorrow so it shouldn't be too bad. D:

Today...

Exercise:- 48 minutes of gym, apperantly burned 342 calories.

Breakfast - Sainsbury's golden syrup porridge. 229 calories.

Lunch - A wholemeal wrap with a filling of ham slices and salad. Grapes. WW toffee yogurt. Special K Mini Breaks. 295 calories.

Dinner - A lush chicken dinner made by the mother, there was quite a lot of chicken and mash with butter, and veg, so I am going to be safe and say 500 calories..

Snacks throughout the day -

Midmorning: Apple. 47 calories.

Preworkout: a slice of bread and carrot sticks :3 108 calories.

 

[Snakes and ladders]

Also treat day is a great idea! As I said before, doubling your calorie intake on one day a week can increase your BMR, thereby increasing the number you burn every day, even at rest.

So you can feel good about the fish and chips! Virtuous even!
