sukie sue's lite RTM

[sukie sue]

well starting lites rtm today in prep for my holls in a few weeks.
looking forward to being able to run a distance and get out again .
think i might go back to lite after as ideally id like to get below my weight now , but im also thinking realistically and i know ill a, deal better on ship if im following something structured and b, im doing the great north run again this year in sept and im really dying to crack on with training now , so im very much going to play it by ear and enjoy the journey
so will start a log tomorrow on day two as today has been very samish as lite up to now, but have made a big fab pot of chilli with chickpeas , butter beans and kidney beans so will be having that tomorrow.
so wish me luck
hope youre all having a fab sunday xx

well woke expected to have gained a massive 5 stone due to the extra 50g of meat i could have yesterday and the snack i had of some cherry tomatoes and philli light. but . no mmmm i completely forgot how much rtm plays with youre head. the exitement of a larger choice of food coupled with the fear of loosing control. mm will have to watch myself , but i am exited about being able to train a little . woo hoo :0)

...............so bring it on !!!!

Hi - sounds like you're enjoying the food.

How does the RTM lite work? It's just 4 weeks?

 

[sukie sue]

hi there , yes its 4 weeks , so its pretty quick , im heading onto hubbies ship so i think ill just do 12 days of week 3 while im there rather than go on to week 4 where its pretty much everything , im really wanting to finish of lite and lose another stone so will go back to regular class on the sunday after im back . i just wanted to have more otions on board , but not free reign so this suited well :0) fingers crossed

150 kcal too :0)

well settling into the routine now and im enjoying making healthy choices again ,
must admit spent most of yesterday evening fighting in my own head, felt 'hungry' , knew i wasnt but felt crappy and stuffy with hayfever , thought i probably craved comfort or that ive come out of ketosis. well today totm arrived finally so felt fine , hunger normal and i checked today and no longer in ketosis so thats cool, im managing ok without the security of it !!!
so today ive had the following

breakfast
ll porridge with nectarine and strawberry in it

lunch
again cant be bothered with shake so had my snack of veg sticks and a little cottage cheese about 2 ish .

dinner
baked salmon with american salad and tomato, with activia fat free yoghurt for desert.
couple of grapes

supper
plan to have a decaf coffee and toffe/nut bar combo

969 calories in total
walked my 2 miles 150 kcal

little concerned that im not having 3rd pack but just cant be bothered , id rather have some veg as a snack . ahhhh not going to stress too much about it ill be on 2 packs in a couple of days anyway.but still niggling me ;0)

 

[daisydoll]

hi there
you sound like you are doing great!
i was really sad when i realised i wasn't in ketosis as i thought i was going to be really hungry all the time - but i'm not, and i have found i quite like it when i am - i never was pre LL - i realise i had a fear of being hungry, so never was!

keep up the good work

hey all.
well lost 1.8lb on 1st week of lite rtm , didnt really expect it but pleased as ive still weight to loose and any i loose now is less to loose when i go back to lite after my hols.
so week 2 , 2 meals , 2 packs , hopefully ill manage this ok as ive struggled with the packs as well as food.

had bar for breakfast with a apple and 0% fat free pro biotic yoghurt drink.

lunch was out so
carrot ,broccoli, turnip and cauliflower with roast beef and gravy.

went to cinema and had,in lue of dinner pre packed mixed fruit cocktal and carrot sticks with reduced fat red pepper houmus.
had some of daughters salted popcorn ( shame )i know !!!but over it !!!

im full (prob the little bit of starchy popcorn) so just had coffee instead of 2nd pack.
