4 outta 5's not bad...

by happy28 ^Pro @ 20/06/2008 – 21:47:27

is how often I've been to the gym this week. Well, actually 5 times if you count my double whammy on Tuesday. I'm quite impressed with myself. Today I was a bit too late to get to my treadmill (there's only 4 there) so I ended up on the bicycle.

I put it on to a hilly cycle for 20 minutes, and pedalled my heart out. I managed 7.4kms in that time. I got home and didn't feel like I'd worked out at all, so I did a load of situps til I was very, very warm.

I've eaten healthy all day, but had a bit of a blow out for dinner - curry. Yum!

woww, your doing well !
I remember doing exactly what you did about three year ago as i prepared for a triathlon.
I see that you ve a carbonhydrate craving. i do to , it s hard to fight when your use to it. esp aftr exersizing.
If you want carbs, ie, pototes, bread, curries , pizza etc, try have them in the day not at the end of the day and snack on fruit.
It s bloody hard, i fancy something stoggy but feel bloated , slighty sick and sluggish always afterwards and i always regret eating those things.
good luck , what ever your aim is

  Hi there,
  
  Thank you for the kind thoughts. My ultimate goal is to be healthier in preparation for starting a family, but getting fitter and losing weight are key to this.
  
  Wonder if you can help? we tend to eat our main meal in the evening which is carb heavy. I've cut my portions right down. What do you eat of an evening?
  
  Thanks

Well my weight has always gone up and own like a yoyo, i was really heavy at xmas and now i m sorting My issues out i ve actually moved away from wanting stogdey food without even thinking about it.
Since xmas, without dieting or actively exercising, ive lost one half stone. I ve naturally increased my exercising again as my weight has come off and as feel better about myself too as i ve always like sports. Must do what you like and not what you think eiether or you ll get bored. So having dealt with my issues and stress first and then as im feeling good about myself i dont feel the need to grab or eat the food that makes you feel full. Funnily enough my cousellor said, after once i commented that i feel i need to eat every four hours, and if i dont, i feel anxious and then i over eat or load up on sandwiches and big meals. She said that was down to being fed every four hours as a baby. When our bodies are stressed we revert to being kids and hence go for food every time were stressed,comfort food. Some people smoke , some people drink, dont they. My Comfort food being, pies, roast dinners, take away on sat nights, puddings, potatao and this potato and that. bread every day for dinner and with meals. sheparad pies, bolognase, the lot.
so since she put my mind into perspective and corrected me basically, i ve naturally graduated away from the knowing that as an adult salad and light meals are better for you. Excluding Sundays, i generally i eat carbs for breakfast, ie, bread, museli, alpen, with protein, ie and egg, bacon or peanut butter. Lunch i' ll have a light salad, baked beans, baked potato or soup and a roll, things like that or soemtimes an egg or chicken sandwiche
Mid afternoon, about 3.30, (munchie time) i snack on fruit and peanuts, ( there are loads to choose from now ) . Then as i ve snacked at 3 - 4pm i an eat around six- 6.30 so then i dont need supper . Tea consists of salad and meat, salad and fish, salad and protein salad and cheese salad and steak. No bread , no potatoes or root veg. i so look forward to sunday lunch mind. All the thin people i know hardly eat bread and potatoes , esp after 3- 4pm. Of course if your exercising, i use to have a bowl of alpen or porridge instead of tea , so you didnt get the munchies when you got back. That its really. its so hard when you ve been brought up on meat and two veg as i have, but it seems to be working and the weiht has come off slowly and im sure as i increase my exercise it will come off a bit quicker. i usually have what ever I wAnt on a saturday evening and sunday lunch.
I will say though for me it was about stress, now that im de stressed i feel warm inside and dnt need food to fill that feeling.
May sound a bit weird, but it seems to be working for me.

  I loved going to the gym but i got s heavy that i was embarrassed, AND WOULD GET PANICKY IF I GOT TOO HOT AND OUT OF BREATH AS I WAS CARRYING SO MUCH WEIGHT,. but I COULD TN GO ON YOYO DITEING AND I F YOU EVER READ MY BLOGS YU LL SEE IM GOING THROUGH A BIT OF A DISCOVERY TIME WITH MYSELF. IT will probably be about another couple of months or so before i get back in there and i ll be even more happy than i ma now. I think also if your going to get preganant you ll get preganant, just watch what you eat while preg and breast feed after. i lost a 1lb a week breats feeding.

      Thank you for sharing that, it's a lot of information to absorb. I'll stop by your blog sometime soon. It's inspiring to read about how other people have lost weight though.
      
      Thank you again
