Tanya's Refeed Diary!! ~* Back On TFR *~

[irishhobo]

Well done Tanya!!! Great you enjoyed your first meal!
Good idea bout making you dinner smaller cos I felt very full and bloated after every meal for the first week, but my tummy has got used to it now! x

 

[JanD]

I think ANY food's going to make you feel bloated after a while at this stage. I would stick to the refeed sheet if you can. They know what they're doing with the science (even if the PR leaves much to be desired ) - You might not lose weight but you'll have introduced everything in the right order and right quantities so your glycogen stores will fill slowly and properly and you should at least sts. xx

 

[kered]

Glad you really enjoyed your first meal Tanya, makes it all worthwhile chick - good luck on your re-feed journey.

Ah thanks mary!

I think i will stick to the portion sizes then - then that way like you said Jan my glycogen levels will return to normal. I think im just paranoid im guna put on weight this week!

Do ya think its bad to have spaghetti bolognaise the night before my weigh in? Im making this on sunday with turkey mince for me and the bf

 

[RachieRoo]

Hey Tanya! I don't think it would make much difference to have spag bol before your weigh in, dont know what everyone else thinks?
You look amazing by the way in your pics.SO glamourous! What does your boyfriend and parents think? Bet they are proud!
Just have to say also that you always said your boobs were small. They are really not! (and i should know I'm a 34f!) Have they grown?lol :banana dancer:x

 

[JanD]

No not at all - you'll have the 4ozs of pasta (ckd weight) so no different from other carbs - I'd have wholemeal pasta but that's personal choice. Presumably you'll pour off the fat when you brown the mince - not that there's much on turkey mince but there'll be a bit - it'll be fine xxx

not eating any food for 21 weeks sounds terrifying!

 

[Miss J]

I have just finished making my brother his birthday cake (he was away in the jungle for his birthday and is home tomorrow so not only has he not seen me for a few months but hes got a cake to come home too! iv attatched pictures) and am so pleased because even though i know i can eat again not once did i lick my finger or have a taste of icing. So i know i can DEFO do this!!!

My taste buds have definatly changed! before LT a tuna salad would consist of cucumber, tomato, pepper, spring onion and carrots and a tin of tuna mixed with spoonfulls of mayonnaise - and i thought i was being healthy!!!! now, i loved the tuna on its own .. mmm :drool:

Terrified, but excited? I have my two-week re-feed schedule all done out (am taking it slowly!) and am really looking forward to fresh food...mmmm....
