Manny...Ticking on by

[Manny]

What a strange week. Sunday I had a easter dinner with my family and then some cholcolate. Nothing major point wise maybe a few over. However for the rest of the week I have been spot on my points and have even managed to save some for the last sunday and I have somehow managed to GAIN 4lbs, wtf.

Don't know what to do, should I do an overhaul of what I am eating?, should I hope that its something else (stress and late nights working) and hope that the 4lbs is an illusion? I can't exercise at the moment as my body physically couldn't take it

I am pretty downbeat about the whole thing now, any ideas?

i would say its probs your late nights - how many hours sleep are you getting? your body can react badly if you're not sleeping enough.

I would say try the following:

8hrs sleep a night
2 litres water each day
try and eat as much unprocessed food as possible, try and stay away from too much bread etc

I am maybe getting 6 hours a night. I am drinking plenty water and I don't have much bread.

I will see how I get on this week

 

[blackwidow]

6hrs? can you not go earlier? that doesnt seem enough sleep to me? x

 

[Manny]

Well the last couple of weeks I have been working till around midnight and then the Boys wake up about 6:30. I would go to bed earlier but needs must.

Feeling a bit better about the diet today. Had a chat to the Mrs about it on Sunday and told her that I needed to get back on it 100% with no guessing or straying. Although she doesn't agree that I have too, understands that I want to so she is going on it with me again.

We started on Monday and first 2 days I have felt much better about it, although I am working late again tonight so who knows what is for dinner and at what time but I have only had 5.5 points so far today.

Even with an overtime filled week I have managed to lose 3lbs. Not had the greatest of weeks as I am so exhausted but at least I have managed to lose some.

Hopefully this week involves more at home time and also some more lbs off

Congratulations on the 3lb loss Manny

Thanks,

Hopefully work will settle down over the next few days and I can get back to normal. Eating at 9:30 is never a good thing and neither is getting 6hrs sleep
