Well, a lot has happened since I last posted. I got sick and ended up in hospital for 7 weeks earlier this year. I have put on a lot of weight. This morning I weighed in at 143.8 kilos. Hopefully it should start going down from now on…
Tomorrow’s Food Intake Wednesday, May 30 2007
CSIRO Diet and Meals 8:33 pm
I have worked out a meal plan for tomorrow from the CSIRO diet:
BREAKFAST – 200g low fat yoghurt, apple
LUNCH – chicken sandwich – 100g chicken, 50g cheese with cabbage and a tomato.
DINNER – beef dish with 100g beef and veggies with a soy sauce.
The CSIRO Diet is not that big on snacks and I am used to having them so it will be a test tomorrow. They say 5 or 6 small meals are best but I find it makes me think about food more than I should so just eating 3 times might reduce the food thoughts.
CSIRO diet books Monday, May 21 2007
Calories and CSIRO Diet 6:45 pm
I am going to be reading the CSIRO diet books later this week when I get my hands on a copy of them! If I can find a way to give them a go I will. Apparently they are high in protein and dairy and I love meat and dairy! I also am not addicted to bread or potatoes, i will be able to limit these quite easily so I guess the diet is worth a go! My only concern will be the expense. I have ordered a hindquarter of beef which will be delivered this Thursday and I am going shopping on Saturday so I will be able to shop for ingredients. I might make meals and freeze them if the recipes can be frozen!
I am feeling quite full at the moment, I had steak with cheese and bread for dinner and now I don’t feel like eating at all but I am not stuffed, you know what I mean? I have had about 1300 calories today. The weight I lose over the next couple of days will determine my weight loss for the week, as this morning I was about the same weight as last Wednesday which is my official weigh in day.
Calorie Counting and Intuitive Eating Saturday, May 19 2007
Curves and Daily Jabber 2:56 pm
At the moment I am using the Calorieking software to work out what I am going to eat plus trying to get a new attitude to food using intuitive eating concepts. This is where you listen to your body and only eat when you are hungry then just eat enough to be satisified but not full. I have a book called intuitive eating on reserve from the library. I should be able to get that next week… in the meantime I have a book called Diet No More that I got from a huge secondhand book sale. I really related to it, it described some of my thought patterns that I go through. No food is good or bad, just eat what will satisfy. It also says to throw away the scale but I can’t bring myself to do that. I still get weighed every day.
I have given up Curves. I wasn’t enjoying it. Instead I am trying to walk to town a lot more…
Trying to lose weight before the weigh-in tomorrow Wednesday, May 9 2007
I have tried really hard today, I have to lose 900 grams before tomorrows weigh-in. I have been to Curves and I have cut my calories. I’ll see what the scale says tomorrow!
Worked out 5 times at Curves Saturday, Apr 28 2007
Curves and Meals and Weigh-in 12:44 pm
Well, I have worked out 5 times at Curves so far and I am really enjoying it! The machines are fairly easy to use, I find the ones that work the upper body easier and I enjoy them more. The ones that work my stomach and side muscles, my body doesn’t like one bit! They are so weak but hopefully they will gain strength in the next few weeks. I am finding it much easier to go up hills. I have to climb a steep hill twice a day to take and meet my son at the bus stop when he goes to school and it is much easier since I have been doing Curves. My weight this morning was 110.7 which is lower than I have been for ages!
I have had my breakfast and lunch today with no Morning Tea. I will have an apple for afternoon tea and I will have vegetable soup for dinner which I made a couple of days ago!
Signing up for Curves gym tomorrow! Wednesday, Apr 18 2007
Meals and Official Weigh-in 7:39 pm
Well after months of being stuck at the same weight, I have decided to give Curves a go. I am going there tomorrow for my first appointment. I can’t wait!
I have cooked a lot of meals from Symply too good to be true cookbooks and frozen them so I have all my dinners just ready to be heated up every night. Plus I have a sandwich for lunch, toast for breakfast, vitaweat for snacks and jarrah extreme choc drink at only 55 calories per serve. I have been losing weight over the last 3 days following that diet so I am happy!
I had my official weigh-in today and I had lost 3 pound. This brings me to 17 stone and 7 pounds. So I have lost half a stone since the beginning of the year…
Weigh in for Wednesday the 4th April Thursday, Apr 5 2007
Official Weigh-in 6:45 pm
I weighed 111.7 kilos last Wednesday. Thats about 245.5 pounds. My eating has been much better lately, I have been more consistent. I’m still going to my diet club and that is helping a lot! I’m hoping to get under 111 kilos this week.
