Weightloss Is A Good Thing

I think I mentioned a few days ago that I was doing WLR again. I have tried other programmes including fitday, sparkpeople, mynetdiarty, weightwatchers etc but WLR is by far the best. It has a simple interface and most importantly has a database of English foods. It is not the most extensive programme but it has everything you need for weightloss. It also has a supportive forum and lots of articles of interest. The one thing that has impressed me most though is the package they send you when you join up. You get a book about weightloss and a booklet to write down what you eat. These are things I have received in the past but now they add this spoon collection so you can measure out 1/4. 1/2, 3/4 of a teaspoon and a tablespoon. How handy is that?! It also supplied a measuring tape. Good stuff.

I went to the doctors yesterday and once she got over the idea that I was just wasting her time she did order me a blood test for anaemia. She told me she thought it was nothing to worry about though and if my body is telling me to give up working out then that is what I should do! She asked if I had lost any weight and when I told her 5 stone she looked flabberghasted. I went on to explain that this was a very conscious effort and she just continued to look disapprovingly at me! Oh well, I am happy and that is the main thing!

I did well with food yesterday. I had about 1700 calories but I did eat in the night, oddly. I had an apple and a bowl of Frosties plus a few little cheese triangles. Probably came to about 2100 in total. I need 2500 to maintain so its not a total disaster. I just weighed in and weighed the same as yesterday so it is cool. The thing that is most horrible though is waking up and feeling rubbish because you body has undigested food in it. Won’t be doing that again in a hurry.

It is 2pm and I have just realised I havent eaten today!!!!! I woke up at like 11am anyway but then I got to chatting to my friends and before I realised it, it was this time. I am just cooking a chicken fillet to have in a salad before I get on with some work.

Glorious Food

I only got up in the night once last night, which is quite good, but I did devour quite a few digestive biscuits at that point. The good news is that the biscuits are gone now and I will not be making the mistake of buying them again (it was the first time I’d bought any biscuits in years). I need to remain aware of my limitations. I haven’t had bread in the house for a week now and am really craving it but am going to continue to go without it for another week (until my son is back at school and needs a packed lunch) and hopefully get it out of my system somewhat. The other things I tend to binge in the night are yogurts and cereal. I am out of both of them at the moment and think this is a good thing as I cannot eat it if it is not available, but its not very convienient in the day time! I have oats in the cupboard though so I guess I will cook them up for breakfast.

For the third day in a row, I weighed in at 14.9 again. Once this would have been a complete disaster but I have struggled to even control my weight so the fact that I am managing not to put on is quite an achievement. This comes from watching my intake in the day, even if I am not at night.

Tonight is a ‘paint the town red’ night so I am looking forward to weightloss tomorrow. In recent weeks, the morning after the night before I have often weighed up to 6lbs less! Not only do I eat less because I am busier, I am more active with dancing, plus we usually have a few friends back after the pub so I do not get up and eat in the night! You have dehydration on top of that.

More Successful

I ate really badly last night throughout the night but when I woke up this morning I felt nauseous, I had the pre-sick water thing in my mouth, so I didn’t eat a thing until 2pm. I have just logged up my calories on this fantastic new site: www.mynetdiary.com and it has come up at 1600 calories. I also did an hour of walking today as well, so if I manage to not have a midnight binge, I should stay on track with weightloss.

I think I will be alright about not binging tonight. I seem to have begun to lose my appitite today. I guess that is down to feeling sick. I hope I am not feeling wiped out tomorrow and that I can enjoy a workout. Have decided that if my health is still affecting me come Monday I will go have some blood tests (its the panic anxiety sufferer in me worrying – I dont suffer now but the thought processes are still nagging at me).

In non-health related news, this morning I was locked in my apartment! I went to open the Yale lock and the door was jammed. I tried everything to open it and was about to ring the landlord to come out and sort it out when my Daddy arrived randomly and managed to fiddle it open! Phew!

I have updated the site again, it is very colourful. I still need to play around with it and touch it up, and sort out the sidebar but it looks different!
