Hello There!!
Can’t believe three weeks have passed already..
I got on the dreaded scales this morning and I have lost 4lbs. Happy Days !!!!!
Thing is I actually know how I’ve done it. I haven’t been able to train very hard as I have had a rotten sinus head cold (and I mean rotten!!).
I became more aware of my portion sizing and cut out bread and potatoes for a couple of days, eating rice and crispbreads instead.
I have honestly not been hungry. I have snacked on fruit, nuts and raisins in between meals. I even watched my friends eat desserts when I went out one evening and just had a coffee instead.
Last week I saw a friend who has lost 3.5 stone on LighterLife shakes. She looks like a different person.
I admire her for her ability to stick to the regime. However, I could not and would not do it.
I don’t have to ask Keri what he thinks of these diets, he has commented enough on here about them.
I do know that I want to look that good and feel that positive.
Going to do the same again this week, and will train more as I feel a bit better now.
I am on holiday next week, hotel breakfasts and evening meals out. Oh Oh !!!!
I’ll get a good week in and be as careful as I can next week. It’s the things you eat without thinking that can cause the rot to set in,
butter on toast, scrambled egg which usually contains cream, alcohol (yum yum) and desserts. Oh yes, and milky coffee, so easy to enjoy!!
Will get back in touch when I return and will report honestly how I have progressed.
All the best,
Deb xx
Excellent effort to say the least debs!
It says a lot that you are not willing to put up with any of the faddy diets anymore, we all know they are not sustainable and the main objective seemingly is to get you hooked on their “products” and take some serious money out of your bank account!!
The big thing that strikes me is that you know your own body and mind even better than before, and your experience now of all the ups and downs tells you now what is rubbish and pure lies, and what is tried and tested and likely to work very well.
Keep posting debs and showing everyone that it is indeed possible to get into great shape, as long as you give some commitment and have a great attitude, despite what life throws at us from time to time!!
Well done Debbie, back into it then, not so bad is it. Enjoy your hols next week and dont feel too guilty about enjoying yourself, thats what holidays are for. I started back today, couldn’t do much because of my knee, not too shabby tho, I did 3 circuits of weights and the rower, tried the bike but too painful Keri. You told me not to do weights everyday Ke, so I will train on Wednesday next and then Friday. I got home and Ken said you wernt long, only so much you can do with a painful knee.
dont worry jean, you still are making progress, and dont forget half an hour of the way you train is an hour of other people’s training so i wouldnt worry at all!
its all about quality training and you never stop bad knee or not!!
You smooth talker you, no seroiusly what else can I do for CV? Cant do bike, treadmill, rower is ok but knee up like a baloon again and I tried not to use my knee. The only thing I am doin for my knee is icing it, cant take anti inflams cos of my asthma and high BP, although it was down this morning when my doctor took it 156/83, slight improvement, he told me as long as it is coming down he will hold off on the Meds. Can I use the Punch Bag? although I have to stand I will try not to put pressure on my knee. It is sooo frustrating, I mean I am not back to my old self as far as training is concerned but I would have liked to do more.
If u show up at 415pm tomo I will give u some ideas that won’t stress your knee. There’s a way around everything
Ok will do. Ta very much.
