Kay's journey to health and happiness

[Happy Holidays]

I wanted to ask you something, you know when u eat in the day, do u have a set time for your meals ? or do u just eat when your hungry ? I find when I follow a set time plan and copy that each day, I have a better loss. Strange I know but it really works. I know its a bit robotic lol but I'm one of those sad people that actually looks forward to 1pm, 3p, 5pm on my sheet and seeing whats next to be eaten xx

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm Kay you've now got me thinking, I've no idea if the times I eat my meals have any affect on my losses, you know now I'm going to make note!!! I have my breakie c7:15, lunch 12:30 & tea 5:30, but last week we weren't eating until 8 or 9 at night, way too late for me. x

I think it definitely affects my losses Michelle. I have started to chart what time I munch on a spreadsheet, snacks included, infact everything that passes my lips. But I also feel that this data alone is not substantial enough, a persons daily activity level and water intake (and I mean plain water) will also come into play. Since I have free time on hand and am at home waiting for my op, I can do this little experiment for myself . I do try and eat my last meal by 6pm, especially a carb meal by 5pm. I don't eat carbs after 5pm. My sister has a very fast metabolism , she eats 2 plates of rice and nothing happens to her waistline and she doesn't exercise much either, grrrrrr . Me on the otherhand, carbs just stick to me I have to exercise and work bloody hard to burn them off ! Each to their own I guess, we are all different !

I try and eat frequent every 2-3 hours and small meals. I have heard this is good for weightloss and helps boost your metabolism. I will let you know how I got on after a week and see if its helped me. This is how my day goes roughly :-

9-11am - 1 Litre of Water

11am - Breakfast

11-1pm 1 Litre of Water

12-1pm - Body Magic

1pm - Snack

1-3pm 1 Litre of Water

3pm - Lunch

4pm - Snack

5-7pm Dinner

After 7pm - More Water if I haven't done my 3 litre target by then

I know this will not be possible in `REAL LIFE ' when u have work and jobs to do, nothing can work around a fixed time, but as I've said I'm only doing it as an experiment, because I'm not working I have the free time available to see if this gives me better losses xx

Vonnie - I have just finished my 3 litres of water on `Plant Nanny ' love that app thanks for introducing me to it. I have grown a dandelion . There were some other plants that I liked but it wouldn't let me chose them because I didn't have enough points or something ? lol . So what happens tomorrow, does it start from the beginning or will it keep my dandelion ? I would like to keep it, I've grown quite attached to it xx

Did it not give you the option to move it, then each day it gives a seed, and you plant something else or another dandelion , on the screen where it shows you the variety of plants at the bottom it says gain free seeds , it takes you to watch advertisements for other apps there only 10 sec or so long but it will give you about 10 seeds each day ,
I just put my drink in but coz I've been rubbish lately it's telling me my plant is dying , if I don't drink today it will die tomorrow ,

Maybe because I'm on my last cup, so when I finish that and enter it, I would have hit my daily target, then what do I do ? xx Sorry to bother u Vonnie, first time I'm using it xx

Oh right it goes through different stages till it's fully grown , then it will say your plant is fully grown do you want to move it, press yes and it goes onto the next screen and is planted there , then you choose a new one some are free some need seeds to buy them,
Each day press the icon top right of screen some images drop down the one that is like a fence is where your dandelion is replanted and will give you seeds each day , some give one some more depending in the plant ,

Just carry on entering your cups , if you have drank your daily limit it will warn you that you are drinking too much, so just carry on tomorrow there's usually 3 or 4 levels,
