Well done on the smoking front too, I think it's a really good idea to get the food and smoking sorted together, something about the oral fixation or is that too Freudian

I stopped smoking for about the 10th time a few weeks ago, I had ear acupuncture - for my eating - but I just stopped smoking without even trying. Weird eh?

day 15 evening plans went down the drain...

YESTERDAYS PLAN

Plan to burn off a good 200-300 in the gym and then have some salmon and salad for tea when I come home.

Still going well on the non smoking mission - no temptations or stress

ACTUAL DAY:-
12 Noon: Maintenance Bar!! YAY! Im so happy to have these again - I love them! 200 calories
2PM: WW Tuna and 3 Ryvita 170 calories
5PM: Maintenance Bar 200
6PM: Salmon, Baby Pots and Curry & Alpro Soya Mousse (700 CALS)
Slendertone Arms and Abs (all priming myself for the gym as it says on slendertone site u get better results when u slendertone pre-gym)
7PM - Phone call from lover boy which lasted a whole 2 hours... night over - no gym no housework nada.
9:30PM: Another Phone Call - 1 hour
10:30pm: Bath and exfoilation - got exfoilator in eye and it was bright red sore (I think the grains where exfoliating my eye ball) and i wanted to cry - so lay down for a while and the pain was so bad I then went and raided the fridge with one eye open - 4 ryvita, tin of tuna, and half a tin of ww spaghetti - i think i thought this would make my eye better but it didnt - so went to bed with my sore eye and a full tummy and went to myself why did i do that???? hmmmm...... (300 CALS)

Still off the smokes

TOTAL CALS YESTERDAY: 1600

I need to keep average calories at approx 1275 cals per day to maintain my weight - so going to have to be more careful as I am going over this a lot and lots of times I eat I am not really that hungry.

Yay me for stopping smoking - feeling very happy - I have ate a few times to subdue a craving but im sticking to healthy stuff and I have resisted eating to compensate lots - Im sure through time the desire to eat to replace smoking will fade.

Deffo need to keep the calorie count around the 1200 mark if i want to maintain. Im determined to that - Im going out for a meal tonight so need to be goooooooooooooood

DAY 16 UPDATE....

9am: Maintenance Bar 200
12noon: Shake 200
2pm: Prawn, Salad, Cracker Bread 200

TOTAL SO FAR TODAY: 600 Cals

Im going out for a meal tonight NOT going to eat anything more between now and then!!!!!

Well I always said I was going to be 100% honest about everything I eat so here goes...

Meal last night: Ordered Cock and Bull (chicken strips and steak) with peppered sauce and lattice fries and mushrooms...

Ate 1 Chicken STrip, Third of steak (brought rest home for harvey), Half Lattice Fries, Half Pepper Sauce, 10 Mushrooms... Hard to do an exact calorie count... I reckon 900 calories.

THen I had some hagen daz icecream - 200 calories.

So that adds up to a another big day ---

1700 Calories.

Im going to London this weekend on a course - so hopefully I can be really good and keep the calorie count down to about 800-1000 a day for a few days to make up for the last few bad days. Really want to maintain or loose 1 pound. Got a lot of work to do to ensure I hit my goal.

Its nice having the opportunity to go out for dates and nice meals - I am not going to eat bad every date - just cos I havent had steak or fries for about 4 months I wanted to have it again - but I def wont be ordering this type of food every time I eat out.

Went to london this weekend at a seminar - so i was on the go from 7am to 1am at night - did eat too much but im not beating myself up about it too much. Just got to make up for it now. Back to london on wednesday and 2 dates mon and tues... hmmm... stopped smoking 1 week today which im very happy about... so if i put on a pound this week i wont be too cross as i have stopped smoking - but i will be extra determined not to put on again and to shift it off asap!

Im def finding it difficult to keep to the 1200 cal mark but to be honest i know that when im eating the extra it is because of 2 reasons:

1. Im substituting not smoking
2. Im on a date

 

[nicki26]

you are still doing well hun, i had around a weeks worth of calories in one day on saturday i am sure of it, trouble is i dont really know what calories are in food unless it says so on the packet which makes it more difficult to do exact calorie counts, i know for a fact tht i put on a few lbs just over the last few days but hopefully everything is back on track now xxxxxxx

 

[CANKSTER]

You are still focused and doing brilliant keep it up babe x

 

[thefutureisbright]

The honest answer is that it is no walk over! I've had good days and bad. Good days = sticking to my plan. Bad days = munchies, eating the children's food and snacks etc. I am glad that LT does not stop right after the TFR and that we are here for one another on this forum! A learning curve indeed and I need to be a keen student. Stay in control!
