Hiya Jen, how goes it? I'm glad you cracked the calorie puzzle with step 3 lol that is completely something I would do (in my haste and excitement I would absolutely misread figures!). Well done on getting your gym routine together and going religiously ... I really think that's a vital ingredient for maintaining weight. Unfortunately my TOTM is turning into one of my nightmare sessions (I suffer from a condition called Menorrhagia - each loo trip? Think homicide scene from CSI :raincloudNot a good thing - I'm pretty run down at the mo, but luckily I start my meds to temporarily control it on Friday
so I'm hoping I can start my regime by Monday.... Wish me luck!
Is it really weird getting into the groove of eating again? Do you have to stick to the few items/recipes in the booklet or can you get creative? I would have no idea what vegetables, condiments etc would add to my calorie intake (I'm literally incapable of calorie counting, it's like a condition!) - I'll cross that bridge as and when I suppose.... Jeez, I may need to visit a nutritionist as well as a counselor before this is over! Have a lovely day tomorrow pet and well done again xxx
hi there
def no to the exercise if you ve Menorrhagia do you have to take supplement iron? dont want you going into the anaemia territory. but best of British when yo do start.
hi there no your allowed pretty much what you want. in that 700 cal spilt over 3 meals doesn t go that far although it is amazing what you can make. i e been having breakfast but having the products for lunch as green salad isnt that appetising every day. think you can alter things to suit your self a bit. im finding it a safe reintroduction and cause your still on the programme and getting weighed mean your less likely to go to hang with this and go round the kitchen like a crazed pacman
guess one thing i keep thinking is food isn t the enemy i am and i want to be able to deal with food in a rational controlled manor and (please) never eat 3/4 of a Thorntons cake again. i am the greediest girl given half a chance but its ok cause im watching myself like a hawk!jxx
ah calorie counting was something i wasn t that keen on but all im going to say is my fitness pal on either smart phone or comp. not only does it count calories ie you loo up the food you ve eaten and the app has the cals but even more importantly breaks down the nutritional valves too. and break down what you should be eating each day im so very impressed and making this a lot easier. won t bore you more with it the now but when the time comes its a jen recommendation!
