SF challenge: half a stone a month

[rowanx2]

My calves should get to 15", I've got naturally big ones but small ankles ! It's probably all the walking with the buggy keeping them solid.(doesnt work on my thighs though!)
Not sure if it was limited edition or not, didn't notice. Was the first one I've had and it was quite thick, was surprised. xx

I'm in a 'want to cheat mood' I havn't!!! but.. you know when you get a hankering and it's an effort to stay good. I was watching a movie and they were eating pizza, sweets and chocolate and it set me off arghhh.
I've had toothache most of the day, I need to find a dentist am sure my filling needs redoing

Anyway I've done 50 exercises so 150 left.

 

[rowanx2]

Well, am not going to get those exercises done, going to have an early night instead cos I'm just sitting here watching adverts for food and sweets! xx

I hope you did not fall to temptation and went to bed, it is so hard when that happens; I bet you even dreamt of food.
I hope your tooth ache is better, if you cannot find a dentist try using Corsodyl mouth wash, the pink one it always helps me. I am prone to gum disease and have to see the hygienist every 3 months at least.

 

[rowanx2]

I went to bed and had a weird nightmary kind of dream to do with weight! it was like a sci-fi dream and people were trying to feed me up, but it was becasuse if you had excess weight you'ld be left behind on earth while the skinnies would get in a lift and be saved so I started biting my nails off to weigh less and was going to shave my hair off haha... it was scarier at the time
So far my tooths been ok this morning but it's only a matter of time before it starts again, I think I flossed some filling off from down the middle. I'm scared of the dentists and not even registered anywhere. xx


Well still no movement on the scales so I think I'm going to have to take some action today and have just one shake tonight, maybe i'm having too many calories late on, but it's the only time I can use the blender!

 

[rowanx2]

Have had my 500 cals - quorn burger, potato wedges and cauliflower cheese, and very nice it was too

still to have: 300 cals, banana and perhaps 1 shake today

 

[rowanx2]

Am not having Simfast today, have had fish and veg with half a potato (400) , slice bread (100), third of a fromage frais(75ish) and a milky way(100ish) - todays cals estimating at 1200ish which is low but will see if it gets the scales moving - feels like I've had more cals that.

 

[stig]

Glad the tooth ache is better. Hope the one shake tonight works.

Great dream, perhaps not at the time!

 

[rowanx2]

I'm not having a shake today, but I am hungry right now. Dilema lol!
I think I should eat some porridge.
I should be fine at this rate to even have 1800 cals a day and still lose steady, so am going to go eat something. I'm in this for the long term, I can't deny myself too much for too long.

 

[rowanx2]

Am making 2 quorn burgers and a baked potato (in the microwave) - should fill a gap for around 400 cals once got a bit spread and grated cheese on.
Around 1600 for the day.

Am also thinking I should go back to my original goals of half a stone a month and not needing to hurry it along. 6 stone in a year is no little loss!

 

[shrinkingalice]

half a stone a month is a good target i would say, 7lbs in 4 weeks... definately attainable and it should keep your going if you lose more in the first few months. Remember there are no 'rules' to how long it should take weight to come off, or how fast, you can change what you are aiming for month by month, if not even week by week. No-one sets the goals but you.

 

[rowanx2]

Kitty I'll probably change my 'rules' a hundred times... I'm a Gemini, what can I say? lol xx Thanks hun.

[rowanx2]

I described it a bit further up, it's what I can do for exercise - I cant do too much as I had a c section and I'm still suffering from it lol. x


Down a lb at last! Thats 16st 12lbs - 4st 12lbs to go - 2lbs over this months goal

 

[rowanx2]

Another lb and my bmi will drop into the 36's

Fantastic Rowan, what colour are you getting? The idea of putting a pound away for each pound is great.

 

[rowanx2]

I bleach my hair, so bleach and a colour, just my usual x
Maybe not such a good reward cos I would get it anyway haha.

 

[stig]

But it makes you real special. You must be so pleased and so you should.

 

[rowanx2]

Thanks hun, I'll be more pleased when I get below 16-11 cos thats what i weighed 2 weeks after having my daughter, lowest i got was 15-12 last year through stress. So once I am heading for 16 I'll feel like I am making progress. I had a really bad 2010 and keeping an eye on my weight was the frthest thing from my mind, 2011 though... fingers crossed! xx

Had a quorn sausage, half a potato, cauli, broccoli and peas for my 300 cals.

still to have: 500 cals, banana and 2 shakes.

Sorry you had a bad year last year but this is going to be a good one, you have made a great start.
