Food diary - mainly red days

[Purple*Tortoise]

Doing red days now for the next 3 days - wish me luck!! Have them completely planned out from the weekend so I can't go wrong in theory
And how can you not like the chocolate on the eclairs?! It's what makes them!! Xx

Am somewhat of a food freak - I like choc as in a bar of choc, I like the pastry of the eclairs but can't stand them together! A bit like choc & nuts - amazing serperatley, all kinds of wrong together

Scan bran week!

After my first attempt at eating scan bran yesterday was not as bad as I expected, going to try a week of having 5 a day for a week just to see if it makes any difference

Okay I think still feeling very motivated
The weathers even tempting me to drag my fat arse out for a bike ride this weekend. Go through phases of doing 25 mile rides although having done it for at least 6 months so it will hurt

That did make me chuckle why not build yourself up so your bot can get used to it again? Like 5 miles here, 5 miles there and build to 10, 15 etc etc. I have no where to store a bike so I rely on my little legs xx

 

[Purple*Tortoise]

It's kind of a deal with myself, either the bike or the gym! Bikes much easier, whack the iPod on put on some seriously heavy metal and get peddling! Is quite relaxing - but knackering! Generally follow canal paths so it's pretty flat - a nice easy way to get back into it

Was stupidly hungry, the only thing that stopped me not going to the shop for a very none SW bacon buttie was couldn't get out as it was so stupidly busy at work!

Bowl of cabbage afterwards
10pm - 4 bacon ribs pinched from patents tea - forgot how nice they were! (all visible fat removed!)

There are some free and some with syns - one of the biggest brands ( think its princes) has 9 syns but there's a few free ones, I tend to get m&s as its free, there's also tescos own which is free and a few others

If you get pittas best is either coop or asda as those count as healthy extras

 

[MinkyDinky]

Good luck for WI sweetie. How you feeling after doing scan bran every day? I don't know if I could do it! But then change is always good and maybe it will assist with losses they say you gotta keep the fluids up to make sure you don't erm... Bind yourself up

Fingers crossed for later xxx

 

[Purple*Tortoise]

Didnt have any scan bran yesterday and went back to feeling a bit bloated so I'm back on it today. I normally drink about 4 litres liquid through out the day so no worries there!

WI - lost 2 pounds! So 16lb total
More mentally important is I am in the next stone bracket, started at 15.1, now 13.13
Being 13 something is hardly low but for me it sounds it compared to where I started

Maybe it was the 'body magic' yesterday? Went for a walk around a reservoir with oh, thankfully had hiking boots on as typically for him ended up having to scale fences and wade through ankle deep slutch to reach the bit he just has to get to for a look! So it turned out slightly more energetic than planned!

Just arranging to go on a long bike ride with a friend who is a personal trainer - that's gonna hurt! Have next weekend to practice hopefully work up some resistance then the week after - pain!
