Rejoin to re-lose 2 stone

[CLAIREA]

Ro runner Lebanese food is mainly grilled meats, vegetables, kofte, shawarma with rice and pasta based saucy tomatoey yummy They use a lot of olive oil though i think.

When i compare my food diary with yours i feel like a real greedy mare haha. It seems like mine is really big next to yours. I wish i could eat more fruit as most of it super speed. I only like apples and bananas I think its the texture of other fruits that i cant get used to. Any recommendations on how to get more fruit in my diet?

Hope your granny is well. I am really sore now from walking so much today. I am so unfit

Youre not greedy! On a normal evening at home I'd have loads more than that to eat I assure you! And I'd have had more syns too. I bet I eat loads today to make up for it!
Granny is fine thanks! Had a knee op but she's home and happy. I bought her a bar of dairy milk seeing as I can't have any!!!!!

Ro runner I would love to start running.

Soup sounds lovely Clairea!
Running is easy if you start slowly but horrid if you expect to run straight away. Be realistic and start with 1 mile run/walk. Do it alternating between running and walking to suit you. Next stick to the mile, but run a bit more, then more, then more. Do this 3x per week for a couple of weeks. Then do the same for 2 miles and do run/walking in the same way, building up the running for 1 month. Then try to run 1/2 a mile out of the 2 in one go, work on this for another month and keep building up like this. Try to plan your run days so you don't talk yourself out of them if you're tired.
Plan to be running a whole mile by month three and you'll probably get there before this as long as you take it slow. Rush the first 2 months and you'll just end up hating it! Aim to run the whole of a race for life next summer and you'll fly round by then.
Expect to look slimmer and have shapely, leaner legs after 1 month. By race for life you'll be buff I promise! If you don't believe me, give it a go! I have an extremely stressful job and running keeps me sane! I've run half marathons but I still run- walk sometimes if I'm tired. Don't be afraid to walk! 1 mile is 100 calories, if you do 10 miles like this every other day that's 1000 calories. It adds up!
Let me know how it goes. Warm up slowly & wear proper running shoes or you'll hurt yourself!
You'll love it!

OMG!!!!

I am gutted. Fell off the wagon and had a mcdonalds... the day started so well. Had leftover soup for breakfast and hexa coffee. Thought I was being not too bad by having chicken sandwich meal with diet coke. But checked now and can not believe the amount of syns. About 51 syns for the fries and sandwich. Shared my daughters mcflurry too

To be fair I have been flexi synning so hopefully its not too bad. Did lots and lots of walking too...

Dont know whether to call this a green day with syns or an extra easy day, does it matter? Gonna draw a line under it and keep going

Thanks for the running advice , I am definitely going to try it. What do you use to know how far you have gone?

[mrsB79]

Hey ladies! Im still here! just had a hectic couple of days again, worked on weds night a night shift,then went to see take that claire, I had a whopper burger king yesterday. I'm just gonna draw a line under it and not worry. I just think if i dont treat myself sometimes then I will completely lose focus. Todays plan is to go food shopping, and take kiddies to indoor play area. So alpen bars and fruit will be in my bag to take with me.hubbies home so he can run around with them as 3 hours sleep since weds morning ,and i willl be asleep in the play area lol. Nixy that is fab! Well done! . Ro I m thinking of starting running now. Xx

[CLAIREA]

[CLAIREA]

I've added some piccys that inspired me to come bk to sw. Don't know how to put them in my comments but they're in my albums. Also a pic of my boots weight ticket from my first weigh. Will add new one every Monday until target

 

[mrsB79]

Claire, I may copy your idea of before/during pics if u dont mind. I dont know how to post pics on here but i am guessing we need to use an online photo host such as photobucket?, I want to put pics of food up. Hi Jillywags, come and join us. xxx

 

[CLAIREA]

I have managed to add mine to an album i think. There is definitely a way to get them in posts though...hmmm *scratches head*
