Sarah's Target & 10K Mission

[gingaling]

I think my problem is that I've always just loved all food (and have no fear in terms of people seeing me eat!)...but like to think that as I get older I'm just learning to realise which foods will love me back! xx

 

[OpalLilyEats]

I'm the same I think! Did you do that BBC quiz which tells you which category you are? Feaster/Constant Craver/Emotional Eater?!

I was like 80% constant craver which is 100% on the money!! I just want all the food, all of the time!!! xx

 

[gingaling]

Yes I was exactly the same!! I eat ALL DAY....but I've just learned to eat more of the right things...and smaller amounts of the naughties!
I have no idea how you manage to go all day on your fast days without anything until the evening! That would kill me! x

 

[OpalLilyEats]

I dunno, I just don't make anything else an option. I always find a proper meal more satisfying than lots of small ones too! x

Snap!

 

[Miss_Corset]

I deffo can't manage all day on a fast day. I try and hold out 'til lunchtime. I think for health benefits you're supposed to fast for 15 hours and seeing as we tend to eat early-ish in the evenings I usually just about get to that point. I also tend to use my 'day' cals on things I can snack on like grapes and popcorn so I feel like I've eaten more. xx

 

[OpalLilyEats]

Oh yess! I forgot about that bit. That was the main reason I started doing it as the evidence said you got a much better result health wise for the longer you could fast! That's why I'd try to go the full 24 hours xx

 

[pippalata]

I usually manage 23 hours. Which is mad considering on a normal day I struggle to go more than 4!! xx

 

[Miss_Corset]

You girls totally put me to shame!! xxx

 

[OpalLilyEats]

I was thinking that today. I was so ready for lunch and I'd had a sizeable breakfast! Just goes to show how a lot of it is psychological and hunger comes in waves!!

 

[Miss_Corset]

A lot of it is definitely psychological, although after I did that 9k run on a fast day last week I felt almost painfully hungry until Saturday evening...even though I ate normally on Friday and Saturday...it was strange. I don't think my body enjoyed a negative calorie day so won't be doing that again!

Looking forward to a run in the morning followed by a mini danish with a coffee when we get to this meeting at 10am tomorrow! xxx

 

[pippalata]

I've not long had lunch and I'm thinking about having my banana already

 

[Miss_Corset]

I've had my yog and my popcorn so I only have a couple of raspberries left! Thankfully I have a meeting at 2 so that will distract me for a while!! xxx

 

[gingaling]

Although I 100% believe in food planning...I also think this is to blame for why I'm a constant eater...its because I know what is due to come next in the food plan, so cant stop thinking about it until I've eaten it..and then I'm onto the next thing!
Before I did sw or any kind of planning I could easily go to lunchtime without thinking about food once...and then run riot with a stonker of a lunch! xx

 

[Belletabbycat]

And now there are Fridge Raiders. She literally bought the whole of Tesco!! xxx

This has made me giggle! xxx

 

[RiaLou80]

I was a constant craver too - Some days I just seem to eat all day! and then there are days when I don't eat a lot but eat the wrong things like biscuits!
I'm just starting to learn when is better for to have during the day at work so that I don't feel the need to eat.

 

[Miss_Corset]

I can see home-time in sight now so have just worked out my calories for dinner (chorizo and orzo salad - yum!!) - remembered I'm going dancing so won't need my Shapers bar as I'll fall straight into bed when I get home.

Planning to throw together:
25g chorizo (dry fried)
50g orzo
1/4 red onion (fried with the chorizo)
1/2 red pepper (fried with the chorizo)
1 cup spinach
4 radishes
6 baby plum tomatoes
2 sticks celery
5g grated Parmesan

Super duper excited about this dinner - it's going to be immense!!

[sarahc4536]

That sounds yummy!! I love Chorizo, it's great with pasta, tinned toms, onion, mixed herbs and some passata. Takes 10 minutes and it's bloody lovely

I've never tried orzo, but I keep seeing it in people's food diaries so I may have to sample it

 

[RiaLou80]

Sounds lovely honey
xxxx

 

[Miss_Corset]

Mmm the tinned toms option does sound good! Will try that sometime.

We will have chorizo leftover so will be making something else with it tomorrow night - maybe a spicy chorizo risotto? Kinda difficult to plan as I have NO idea what will be on offer for lunch tomorrow.

Actually might switch around what we were going to have on Friday as it'll be much lighter - salmon fillets, rice noodles and stir fried veg. That means I can definitely control the cals. Leftover chorizo can go into a risotto on Friday night. Nom!
