So lent is over and after giving up bread and biscuits I can finally eat them again, not too many though obviously!
I never realised how filling bread was! I used to be able to eat 2 if not 3 slices of bread and now I can only eat one and I feel full! I suppose this is a good thing but today I feel really groggy and quite bloated.
Yesterdays BBQ wasnt a total disaster, although I didnt eat much, I was drinking cider and as the saying goes 'Cider makes you wider!'
I only managed to eat 1 small burger with a burger bun and 1 small bowl of curry, without rice!
I felt soo full!!
Today hasn't been much better, I managed 1 piece of toast for my breakfast and 1 piece of bread for my lunch, I wasn't even hungry lunch time but I thought I should eat otherwise I'd be very hungry this afternoon and eat easter eggs!!
Today I'm going to have a fresh start and try again to eat 5 fruit and veg and drink more fluids, especially with the warm weather! I haven't been to the gym yet today because I have been doing uni work. I was planning on going tonight but I don't really feel like it! Now I know why I go in the morning!!
I will probably go this evening, I have had a busy weekend and I still feel tired! And it is a bank holiday Monday! If I don't go today I'll be sure to go 4/5 times this week!
At the beginning of April I posted a 'plan' I was hoping to be 9st 5 by May 1st!
The reason I don't often weigh myself is because I get disheartened! I think there are pros and cons to weighing yourself often. If you haven't lost weight then you either get disheartened or it pushes you to try harder. I get disheartened!!
I weighed myself on Saturday morning and I was 9st 7
So I have 2 pounds to lose by Sunday, or preferably Saturday!!
I don't know if to just try and be really strict with my healthy eating and do a few of 'The Biggest Loser' style last change work outs and burn some major calories or just do my best to lose any weight at all and just see June as my ultimate goal?
With my current figure I would not want to go on holiday in a bikini so I have some work to do!
Venting my feelings on here sometimes helps me and sometimes it makes me feel depressed!
I am now doubting my capability in losing any weight!!
I will write in about my feelings after I've been to the gym!

Milestones...
So now its day five of my training programme and I have just worked out that I have been to the gym Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday! However, I wont be going to the gym again from today (Friday) until Monday.
Monday I did 3k.
Tuesday I did 4k.
Wednesday I did 5k
and Today I did 5k again, not including my warm up.
Today I warmed up on the exercise bike and then went on the treadmill and did the 5k.
I did it in just under 39 minutes, which I don't feel is too bad, I do want to get it faster and run more but its only the first week so I will get there!
I think that I need to go to the gym and mainly concentrate on my running 2/3 times a week and then other times I should not run and concentrate on calorie burning workouts!
I havn't found it too hard and I think that with going to the gym and already doing a lot of walking and some running has prepared me for this slightly!
I am really really excited about keeping up with my training and progressing and hopefully seeing changes in by body too!
Hopefully5k wont be my last milestone, I want to do a 10k and the half marathon and maybe even one day a marathon! I already have some charities in mind that I would love to raise money for so fingers crossed I will be able to do this and raise a lot of money for charities!
I am very very surprised at how badly I ate yesterday yet I still managed to keep a low calorie count!
I was very very naughty and skipped breakfast! I think I had some fruit juice but that was it! Then I went to my favorite riverside town and had a small cone of chips by the river and then I went out for a meal on the night! I had garlic bread, a steak and fries! I couldn't resist the fries, despite having chips already that day, there is no way I could eat a jacket potato knowing how good the fries tasted! I do give into myself a lot, but I think if I deprive myself too much then I am going to have serious cravings and totally give up!
I am looking forward to weighing myself tomorrow as I think it has been two weeks since I weighed myself. I know weight loss is a numbers game when it comes to calories in vs calories out, but I don't want to become obsessed with what the scales say! I'd prefer seeing changes in my body, my attitudes towards food, my attitudes towards exercise and overall how I feel.
Calories consumed: (so far) 425
Calories burnt: 310
Distance ran: 5k
So far a good day, I am looking forward to a relaxing weekend, I am going to a bbq on Sunday but I will do my best to watch what I eat, if not, I'll get to the gym first thing Monday morning!
Hopefully I'll post again before then, if not Happy Easter! x

Forgive and forget?
I was so psyched up to go the the gym today and use the treadmill to do some running.
I walked into the gym and it was PACKED and SWELTERING in there, I don't think they had any air con on!
I thought "well I've just got to power through it" and I did!
I 'ran' 4kin 33.21 minutes using the run for 2 minutes walk for 1 - the time and the distance both include the warm up so once I've got to 5k, I will start counting my warm up separately!
I would have loved to do 5k today, and I would have been able to do it, if it wasnt SO hot in the gym!
I also didn't want to push myself too much and have achy muscles tomorrow so I just went for the 4k!
I was very glad I did it but again I didn't use any other machines so I only burnt 270 calories.
I was planning on not going to the gym tomorrow and having a monster lie in but the last 2 days I have burnt 300 cals or less so I am going to go in the morning and have a work out using all the machines apart from the treadmill and try and burn as many calories as I can.
Also, despite having a healthy breakfast and a healthy main meal, I had pizza for lunch, only 1 slice but I also had garlic bread which is very very naughty!
So far I have eaten 1193 calories but I havnt eaten any dessert yet! I may not have any, although I am having chocolate cravings lately! I think it is because of all the chocolate being around for easter! It seems to be everywhere I look and I know that next week my calories will be taken up with bread (after giving it up for lent) and chocolate!!!! I can't wait but at the same time I think it is going to be disastrous for my healthy eating, I will have to be reaalllyy really good meal times and just eat chocolate, make sure I work out and not beat myself up about it too much! Forgive and forget right?
I have just received my first donation for my race for life! If you would like to donate leave me a comment and I'll post the link! Good luck to anyone else doing the race for life or any other charity races! x

Day One
Day one of my 'training' for the race for life.
I am going to slowly build my running up step by step and I started today with
A 5 minute warm up walk at a brisk pace
Then I ran for 2 minutes and walked for 1 minute for 21 minutes.
This burnt 202 calories and my distance was 3.01k
I also had the incline on 1%
By the time I got to 18 minutes I could definitely feel the back of my legs but I didn't feel too out of breath, too tired or too hot so I did feel like I could have ran a bit longer. Maybe 4k next time, maybe 5k?
This is the plan I found, it is exactly 8 weeks until my race for life but I want to hopefully feel fit enough for it in 6 and then just train quite lightly in the 2 weeks before. I found this plan on the internet and tweaked it slightly. I am going to try and stick to this as much as I can and I am going to record my feeling for each one! Today went well and I'm really up for it tomorrow.
I usually go to the gym four or five times a week! I am going to make sure I do my running 3 times a week and stick to the plan and then the other gym session (or two) I will focus on the other machines and the weights, I may not even step foot on the treadmill.

Today I was pleased with my run however I didnt have much time at the gym so I didn't burn many calories.
I think that I am going to try and do my run first, so I don't exhaust myself and then use the other machines such as the cross trainer, the 'arm rotation' machine, maybe the bike although I do tend to get bored on the bike and the weights machine.
Today has made me really excited to really get stuck into the training for my race for life. I am hoping to receive my race for life pack soon so I can find out more details and really start the fundraising. I am also hoping that with time I will really be able to speed up the time it takes me to do 5k and get a really good race time! :)
I think I better get some sleep if I'm going to up my distance tomorrow!
Night! x
P.S. I am still sticking to my 1200 calories at the moment, well I'm not going over 1250! I'll keep you updated on how the training is effecting my hunger and my calorie intake! But as I am used to burning quite a few calories at the gym I don't think I should effect me just yet, maybe a couple of weeks in!

Race for Life 2011!
So I am very very excited, I have just signed up for my very first 5k run!! And I am determined to run the whole way and raise as much money as possible for Cancer Research UK!
It is 8 weeks until 'race day' so I need to get into a strict training programme which I will be starting tomorrow!
I am pleased to say (so far) I am also sticking to my 1200 calorie limit each day :)
I do realize I will need to up my carbs on the days I am running (if I am running a decent amount)
I have been slightly struggling with the lack of chocolate these past couple of weeks so today I decided to buy some Cabury Flakes, the ones that are with the ice cream cones because they are small and just enough chocolate and only 45 calories! I havnt actually eaten one yet but Ill let you know if it takes like chocolate or not!!
I am currently sitting watching the London Marathon Highlights and it is extremely motivating! I can't imagine what it feels like to have that sense of achievement, and to be aching so badly the next day!
I am going to run 3 or 4 times a week, starting with some run walk run walk techniques and hopefully eventually running the whole way. I understand this will take a lot to build up to but at the moment I really have faith in myself that I can do this. It is going to be an emotional journey and probably quite painful, it is going to be hard but I feel like I can do this!!
I am going to be running both on the treadmill and outside, once I've started to run a little bit more I will drive (or walk) down to the local park and run on the grass and the uneven surface to get my feet and my ankles used to it because I have read that because most Race for Life's are at a local park they are on an uneven surface and this can play havoc with your ankles if you are not used to it!
I hope that with motivation comes satisfaction and achievement, and once I have completed it I will carry on running and maybe up and up my mileage over the years! I know this sounds like a huge ambition but 5k is going to be my first milestone and I will keep going up and up and up! :)
Wish me luck! x

Back on track!
I have abandoned this blog for a couple of weeks and unfortunately with that I seem to have abandoned by healthy eating diet too! So from tomorrow I am totally, 100% back on track!
My diet has been both good and bad over the past week and a half, the most calories I have consumed is definitely under 2000, about 1800 I think but I have just eaten the worst foods, foods worse than I would usually have eating normally. I have eaten Indian takeaway, KFC, McDonalds and Garlic dough sticks from and Italian restaurant!
I was determined to start really healthy today so I got up had a glass of milk (because I don't get enough calcium) and a banana and went to the gym. The gym was not totally successful because for some reason it was very very busy but I still burnt just under 400 calories. I have come to think that even though I know exercise is important in weight loss, every little but of exercise helps. When I started going to the gym last year, if I went to the gym on a day I didn't really want to go i'd hate it, and then I started to hate the gym! Today I didn't want to go, I seem to have lost all motivation and all I want to do is eat! I feel like a I need a big kick up the backside or something to really push me! But I thought well I need to do something! I went and it wasn't that bad but I have just come home and eaten a cheese and onion roll! And now I feel awful!
It doesnt help that after the rich savoryness of the cheese now all I want is chocolate or something sweet!
I felt the same yesterday after I had tuna for my lunch, I know tuna is full of good fats and oils, it is also higher in calories than a slice of ham or chicken so I did feel like these calories were wasted!
So far today I have eaten 563 calories with my breakfast and lunch, including 2 pieces of fruit and veg and a glass of milk so I;m not doing too badly, I just need to try and stop my cravings for chocolate!
I think my problem is i love food, and I don't usually know when I am full! It is usually around lunch time that I feel like all afternoon I could sit and eat and eat and eat! I would need to spend alll night exercising to burn off the calories i had eaten too! I don't usually eat breakfast and I think that this may be one of my problems, but once I start eating I feel like I can't stop! I have just eaten my lunch and I just want to eat more food, I dont know what I want just food.
I was doing some searching on the internet yesterday and I found a website that allows you to find out your 'ideal weight' for your height, age and gender.
My ideal weight would be 121 pounds, or 8 stone 9 as I understand it.
I am currently 9 stone 7.
I pretty much have a stone to lose in about 10 weeks! If thats not motivation then I don't know what is, but at the moment my love for food both healthy and not so healthy is taking over the motivation!
The really annoying this is that I look at myself everyday and think I'm not happy with myself and I know what I need to change.
Id love a flatter stomach, slightly slimmer and more defined thighs and bum and smaller upper arms, mine have started to get slightly flabby!
I am going to make sure that from today I do not exceed 1200 calories, I wonder if it is possible to lose 5 pounds by May 1st this way?? I don't know if I'm going to be able to do it but I'm going to try!
I don't drink enough water either so I need to read up on losing your water weight!!
I will do my best to blog everyday from now on, I may even blog again later!

Ups and Downs
The past few days I have some ups and some days. One minute I'm really proud of myself and the next I'm right down on the ground. On Saturday I was annoyed because I had consumed waaaayyy too many calories in alcho pops the previous night. On Sunday my parents ordered an Indian Takeaway and instead of giving in, I had a Weight Watchers Curry instead, not quite as nice and tasty but it was probably 1000 cals less than a greasy Indian take away.
Today I was determined to have a great work and that I did! Despite the key system being down in the gym, I burnt 537 calories and this wasn't including any strength training or weights! And then I went to a Zumba class burning approx 430 cals. I think I was more motivated because unfortunately I gave in and ate a KFC for lunch, it tasted amazing but I felt sooo groggy and 'urgh'. I felt 10x better when I came out of the gym!
My food today wasnt good!
It consisted of;
30g Special K - 110
200ml Milk - 49
1 crumpet and a tiny bit of butter 123
A KFC - 821
A small serving of shepards pie -313
Carrots, green beans, sweetcorn - 62
A banana 81
1 packet quavers: 88

Today I was determined to have a great work and that I did! Despite the key system being down in the gym, I burnt 537 calories and this wasn't including any strength training or weights! And then I went to a Zumba class burning approx 430 cals. I think I was more motivated because unfortunately I gave in and ate a KFC for lunch, it tasted amazing but I felt sooo groggy and 'urgh'. I felt 10x better when I came out of the gym!
My food today wasnt good!
It consisted of;
30g Special K - 110
200ml Milk - 49
1 crumpet and a tiny bit of butter 123
A KFC - 821
A small serving of shepards pie -313
Carrots, green beans, sweetcorn - 62
A banana 81
1 packet quavers: 88
