Rache you did 9 miles yesterday!! Come on hun! If it was someone else saying what you are saying, I'm sure you would be telling them to not beat themselves up !! I know you would xxx

Today's intake - I had a fill today:

2 cups of black coffee with splenda sweeteners
Actimel
1 glass of nas squash
Water - three small cups
1 small bowl of home made chicken and lambs neck soup - all bits strained

I am keeping an eye on things as I have gone from little or no restriction in the last 4 to 6 weeks. The soup is lying heavily at the moment but that is tenderness from the fill.

No exercise - just a little housework

Eating was very erratic over the weekend! Managed some of a veggie breakfast at wetherspoons on Saturday morning then nothing until the evening, we had a chinese take away but as Im struggling with cooked pepper and onions I didnt really enjoy it :sigh:

Yesterday I had 2 quorn sauasages and served my self to poached eggs, I managed the sausage and a tiny bit of egg 1. Why on earth did I think I could eat 2 eggs In the evening I had a salmon fish cake with peas and sweetcorn - yum!

Today I have had:

Breakfast - greek yoghurt with honey and a sprinkle of museli.

Luch - my usual salad in a cereal bowl with tuna and sweet chilli.

Tea - WW salmon thing.

Snacks 2 chocolate snack a jacks.

My exercise plan for this week is:

Monday (today) swimming 50 lengths of an olympic size pool - which I did this morning before work.

Tuesday - 3 miles on the treadmill.

Wednesday - 45 mins spinning followed by 60 mins yoga - OM

Thursday - 3 miles on the treadmill

Friday - swimming 50 lengths before work or at lunch

Saturday - day off, well apart from housework and dog walking!!!!

Sunday - 45 mins spinning class then 60 mins body pump.

Phew ..........................................................

Goodness Mazza I am exhausted just from reading that.

Very inspirational though. I was never a fan of exercise but I am hoping that I will learn to enjoy it as I get lighter. It is a huge effort to do anything at the moment. I wish the weather would get better so I can try my bike again. I have planned my first outing with my sisters for the weekend. I need to be able to peddle more than the 5 yards I manage at the moment.

Well TB at work I sit on my backside all day, either in my chair or in my car so I need to do a fair bit of exercise to burn those calories.

You will get there hun, before my hysterectomy I couldnt exercise because nearly as much because of the pain - it really wears you down being in pain doesnt it? Its a vicious circle though :sigh: dont you just hate them - grrrrr

Getting out and about either walking or cycling is an excellent start. Just look at Rache cycling for miles!!! x x x

 

[tranquil_butterfly]

Today's intake:

2 black coffees with splenda sweeteners
Actimel
1 protein shake
1 small glass of water
beef consommé soup
Home made chicken and lambs neck soup - strained of all bits

I struggled with a tight band today.

No exercise but was in office so walking to and from tram station plus walking around the office

Morning TB xxx Hope you're coping OK.
Did you ever try that hypnosis thing I sent? You never know it might help you unwind a wee bit

 

[tranquil_butterfly]

Hi Neen. I am ok. Working from home today. I did get it downloaded onto my ipod but not tried it lying down.

[Neen]

I will have to march up there and tie you down to listen to it at this rate

 

[Rache]

Teehee I can just imagine that

Had one slice toast, half tub of lighter choice prawn cocktail, one small danish pastry (someone's birthday at work) and 2 small pieces of kentucky breast (no bones)

Am not really interested in much today and didn't want to cook tonight, more concentrating on liquids and lubricating sore throat.

Not done any exercise, and not going to either today.
Early night for me xx

 

[Neen]

Actually I think I could just talk her into submission!!

 

[tranquil_butterfly]

Neen and Rache - so funny. Neen, not sure you could grapple me down at my size. I am managing to sleep once I get into bed. It is just getting there - I tend to end up doing things or staying on my computer rather than just getting into bed and resting.

I miss the energy I had a few weeks ago when I was clearing the garage and getting my new bike. Just do not have the energy to do anything right now. I am sure things will feel different in a few weeks. Still have a big clear out to do to get the garage sorted. That is going to be my exercise once I get going again - plus giving the bike riding a good go.

Today's intake:

Actimel
1 cup of black coffee with splenda sweeteners
1 protein shake
1 glass of nas squash - finding squash easier than just plain water
small bowl of home made chicken and lambs neck soup. I have now had enough of this so tomorrow night it is off to asda to check out their fresh soups - need some variety
1 cup of cadbury highlights - made a nice change
Going to have some consomme - not sure if it will be beef or chicken - choices, choices

No exercise

I have not been posting as I am still on liquids so its protein shake, soup and soup again

I am drinking more due to having nas which is helping a lot. I do not know why I did not think to have more of this when I was struggling with plain water.

Exercise - lots of walking to and from meetings all day.
