1.2lbs lost this week. Pleased I lost, slightly disappointed I weighed less before the weekend, as I generally thought I did okay. Got rid of that silly 1/2lb though! Think I can lose more this week. Lady Fun Time is due and my thigh muscles are SO sore today. I can't properly get up when I sit down so I think I am probably retaining water because of that. (I'm right in thinking that you retain water when you've got hurt muscles, right?!)
Not focusing so much on carbs this week, just generally on calories and choosing low GI options. Avoiding snacks last week really didn't work so I'm going to try harder this week since I think that was a failing point. My thighs are ridiculously sore so I am going to rest them tonight and then do my run tomorrow. Don't want to make them any worse since I limped the 20 minute walk to school today!
Yes my legs are killing and I've gone up
On my scales by 2 pound since they've been hurting, ok that's according to the dodgiest scales in the world but still....I'm not getting weighed at boots until I feel less bloated and bunged up, I'm thinking of breaking my scales addiction and weighing in once a fortnight officially. The losses at this stage I know will be slower so weighing every week could be demotivating, my friend only got weighed once a month, she said it was great always seeing some sort of loss. I don't want to get too hung up on what they're saying, as it sometimes distracts me from the job at hand.
I'm doing rubbish st the no snack thing, hubby bought some mini frozen yogurt pots they're only 130cals each so I had 1 Friday night and one sat night, then last might had some low fat cheese a yogurt and satsuma. My cals were only 1400 for the day but if I hadn't had that they would have been 1150 and today I feel swollen and yuk. I need to
Knock this smacking thing on the head.y cals have been good since Friday, I've really stepped up the exercise too so a bit miffed I'm still feeling bloated and swollen.
I've decided to eat a larger breakfast, and have less at my evening meal, as I think this is where I'm going wrong I'm not eating enough in a morning and am having to
Push myself through the day feeling hungry then come tea time I am so hungry I eat too much then no matter what I eat I don't feel satisfied.
Rod your in a plateau, it's where the the calories taken in and energy put out is matching what your body needs to just run itself, by reducing portions....I'd say by 1/3 then give it a good week and I am sure the pounds will
Come off again. Drink plenty of fluids too especially if you've increased exercise. Try give yourself til the weekend to get weighed, your body needs time to adjust and if your getting stressed at the scales not moving down this isnt
Going to do you any good. I was reading about plateaus the other day and it happens to majority of people at some point, usually in the first 6 months of dieting. I'm doing the 3 pound dance like I did a stone ago, up 3 pound down 3 pound, I'm getting complacent and eating larger portions, I had set MFP to 1400 cals but I'm lowering it to 1200 as I need to break this cycle of lose-gain. Hot water and lemon for me all day today too.
i didnt give in to the cr@p in my freezer
