JessyG's food diary - positive and determined to shift the bulge

[JessyG24]

Jeez Jessy - that is an incredible loss! Well done you! I can't wait to see what you can achieve by the end of the month!!

Food sounds delish once again. What exercise have you got planned for the week?

xxx

Thanks sweetheart I think it is mainly my water weight and I haven't exercised but still pleased

Starting the 30 day squat challenge - so it starts with 50 squats tonight! Then going to the gym tomorrow, running Wednesday and gym Thursday. Maybe something on the Friday and swap one of the week days with that.

Super impressed with your running darling xxxx

 

[JessyG24]

Well done lovely that is fabulous xx

Thanks sweetie xxxx

 

[JessyG24]

Well done on such a great loss! Are you going to be doing anything different this week as you're exercising again? I'm even more aware of the fact that I need to eat more protein but it's trying to find a way to get it in when I already feel pretty full most of the day anyway.

Thank you We are supposed to eat more when exercising - so I have got some banana and almond butter for pre gym and some tuna and sweet potato for post gym just small snack like meals though

I would advocate protein shakes - ones with minimum rubbish in! xxxx

 

[JessyG24]

Wow! What an incredible loss! If that isn't motivation to keep strong I don't know what is! Well done mate - you're doing amazingly. And your food for today sounds lush! xxx

Thanks sweetheart - just shows what any week with no naughties in can do!

xxxx

 

[JessyG24]

That's amazing! Ummmm lamb burgers sound real good!

Thank you fingers crossed they are as nice as I hope they are - they are basically lamb patties haha xxxx

 

[JessyG24]

Holy crap Jess!! Amaazzzzinnnggggg!! Was this with MN too?! Flip!! Well done!! It obviously works!! Do you feel good too?!

I don't think whole 30 is that different to what I'm doing so I really hope I've got a decent loss this week too! I feel so heavy though with MN

I think the main differences are that you're allowing white potatoes and fruit, and I'm allowing dairy, a couple of grains (bulghar/quinoa), lentils and pulses - reckon that's right?!

Are all your meats (i noticed you had mince last week) low fat or fat free? xx

MN was just before I started, but mine are short (but horrible) and I am finished now so I don't think it will have effected my weigh in! I'm starting to feel good - at first you do feel rubbish but I'm coming out of that phase now and feeling good, particularly my mood

Yeah I would say so it is things with added sugar I watch out for, do you have to do that too? sickens me that loads of meats have sugar added YUCK

Just normal I think it was about 15% fat but the lamb is 20%. I do drain off the fat though as it is only normal quality. I went for steak mince over normal though. Whole30 recommends that if you eat high quality meat that you don't need to drain the fat, but otherwise can drain it Shop is expensive enough sadly without getting lean meat too

I think you'll be in for a fab loss

xxxx

 

[JessyG24]

I would like to start this I think! Have you had or do you have any social events planned? How do/ would you cope? Next Monday could be a good day to start. Mmmmmm

Why not The only thing is that the first week/two weeks can make you feel a bit rubbish so I would start on a week where that doesn't matter TOO much.

Social wise - I am just being honest with people and telling them and people are being very accommodating. If you are eating out jacket spuds are the way to go if you ask for them without butter. Drinking wise we have no obstacles, and I am just taking my flavoured teas with me in my handbag haha

DO IT! I would recommend reading the book though xxxx

 

[JessyG24]

Wowee babe, thats amazing - well done on the loss, it sounds like you've got the plan down to a T! :happy096:

Food this weekend sounds amazing, I might have to nick some recipe deas from you.
xxxxxx

Thank you beautiful Please do! xxxx

 

[JessyG24]

Btw James also lost half a stone! Yay! So proud <3

I will catch up with your diaries tonight xxxx

How about doing a whole 21 days instead? Haha I'm a mega fat/cream/oil scardey cat though.
I really would love to eat clean, cut sugar it's just that afternoon tired slump I get where a banana just won't cut it!
I am researching and reading a lot though..and I'm up to date with your blog

Yes absolutely. Every single thing that goes on my plate or in my mouth, I need to check the packaging of for sugars. Not just the ingredients but also the carbohydrate that sugars. I can't have a single thing with added sugar and I'm cutting out naturally occuring sugars too so honey, fruit, most breads, white potatoes, pasta, rice etc...

I felt crap on day 3 and day 4 but I feel ok now. I just feel majorly bloated MN never comes to me because of the implant so when she does arrive, I never quite know how long she's going to hang around for... Grrr!

I hope so re the loss, I weigh in tomorrow morn but don't really feel any different or like I could be lighter. I've done so much more exercise last week too which I think might impact the number on the scales so we'll see

xx

[JessyG24]

Hello ladies sorry it's been manic. Woke up late this morning and got into work 5 mins late - was lucky it wasn't later haha. Also had my report going to a big meeting today but that went fine and is feeding into some policy change which is good

Today I've eaten:
B - frittata: 2 eggs (P) spinach mushroom green beans garlic onion (V) coconut oil (F) served with a roast tomato
L - leftover lamb burgers (P) with sweet potato and carrots (V)
Pre-gym snack - meridian almond butter (P) with banana
Post-gym snack - small tin of tuna
Dinner - not sure which meal tonight will see what dates are like on meats I'm fancying either a really spicy chili or a fajita bowl!

Whole30 is going well no real cravings and never that hungry either it's just the prep time but all healthy eating involves that i guess

And yes Ging bootcamp starts again next Monday going to gym tonight to do day 2 of 30 day squat challenge (55) and some body weights and a bit of cardio

xxxx

 

[pippalata]

Oops about the late wake up! Did they notice you sneaked in late? I really want a chilli now... Damn your delicious sounding food!!! xxx

 

[gingaling]

It's the fajita bowl that got me drooling!! Mmmmm xxxx

Sounds like you killed it at the gym last night! I'm still on 2kg weights until my physio gives me the ok for my shoulder. It's good that you're not getting any cravings, I think I'd want some pasta before long! KFC style turkey sounds great.
