Little*Red's food and exercise diary

[little*red]

Hello all,
I'm setting up camp in this little diary to track my food and exercise, I'll probably be adding a few bletherings as well. I'm slightly obsessed with pictures so I'll be the weirdo that takes photos of her food .

I'm going to be doing an exercise challenge for the next 90 days, it will be a combination of a home workout DVD called Chalean Extreme which is weight training and the C25K running challenge.

My starting stats (I'll update every 30 days)
Weight: 125.4 lbs
BMI : 23.7
Chest: 37"
underbust: 31"
waist:27.5"
hips: 36"
abductors (saddlebags!): 38"
thighs: 21"
knees: 14.5"
calf: 14"
arm: 10.5
body fat %: will update tonight
waist to hip ratio: 0.76


I look forward to getting to know you all, and you can give me a swift boot up the hiney if I stray!

Nice to see food pics welcome to simply filling!

The only thing I would say is that you would probably be better making that a propoints day as breakfast, lunch and snacks wouldn't be many points so you would use way less weeklies that way.

Simply filling days are best for when your meals are mostly based on free foods and then you only need to use weeklies for extras like sauce, cheese etc plus snacks.

Food looks yummy just saying that when your main meal for the day uses up quite a few points it will probably work out best making that a propoints day. X

I agree with Ickle,I've started doing pp days on and off now as it means I use less weeklies.All food looks yum! Your wedges look extra Scrummy :0)

I've been doing c25k at the gym on a treadmill. I did wk4 d1 on Monday and the thought of running 6 mins scared the hell out of me! But I managed pretty good! You'll do it!
