Diet & Weight loss support #4

[Cherished]

Hi girls

Great job to both of you! You are doing really well

OMG Pizzzzza is my absolute fav food along with red wine and curry!!!!

The Gabriel Method book is great I recommend you both go and get it. It is reminding me of many things I already know and is very inspiring. I am almost there already with the nutrition advice he gives but he has inspired me to go the extra mile that I have been wanting to do but just haven't yet. The book is about switching off your FAT Programs and getting your body to want to loose weight. It's also about not dieting but adding to what you eat to make sure you are getting nutrients you need to then stop feeling hungry. It also talks about causes of being overweight and how to speed up your metabolism etc

I haven't weighed myself for a while and have decided not to... I figure my clothes will start to be too big and when I get back into my size 12 pants I will get back on the scales.

Happy easter!!!! GOD this is a hard time of year for us! I was bad (not like you 2 goodies) I ate about 10 little eggs in3 days... Maybe even more!

Hi girls, just wanted to drop in and wish you all will power and a little encouragment today

I have to say that I am totally impressed with myself, I got up this morning and made a fresh juice and than had half a hot cross bun. Don't even really feel like chocolate (which is strange)? On a separate note I am hoping we have conceived and I am pg now so choc wont be that great for bubs if there is one (or two) in there

Anyway I hope you all enjoy the day and aren't struggling too much!

Ooooh... fingers crossed for you Cherish! You've been so good today! I had two fruitless hot cross buns for b'fast... and a little egg (the hard ones)... and I've had two of the next size up. DD offered me one of her eggs and I said no and (get this!) DH gave me a huge lecture about how rude I am because DD is sharing! so I relented! Now he is down on the treadmill (he ate 2 little eggs, 3 the next size up, three hot cross buns). I'm going for a big walk this afternoon with DD (she needs to burn some energy!) and then on the treadmill later... We were going to have spag bol for dinner... think we might have chicken stir fry instead...

Easter is wicked!

Ohhhh Mother Goose you have done SO WELL!!! I'm lucky DH is so supportive (some times TOOOOOO supportive,when I want to slack off a bit!) He is so supportive to the point where if he wants pizza,chocolate, wine etc and I feel like I can't really afford to have it than he wont have it BLESS HIM

He never buys me easter eggs and I usually buy a few for both of us but because I'd already eaten a few during the week I didn't get any, feeling good about it today.

Well done again!

hi girls i am still here. we went away camping for the week after easter and i got the flu ( from DH), also had AF and to top it off burnt myself on camp fire. doing well.
i am still not better.
had a headache, and just feeling so tired. to top it off i have to work tomorrow as i can't get hold of anyone to say i am sick ?! arggggg

i don't know what i have been eating but i havn't been real good. dh has been doing a bit but some toasted sangas a few times isn't good 4 me.

hope to get back on track this week as i have a personal training session on thursday.

hope you guys are being better .

JBM - sounds like you've had a rough trott!!! Speedy recovery wishes to you hon!

I'm actually sitting here feeling BLERG right now. Just feel so drained and nauseated... I'm def not PG, last days of AF... had a Macca's (small) meal today so it is probably that. I just want to sleep in the sun out of the wind... maybe I'm coming down with something. Who knows. I've been doing ok otherwise. Eating is perfect but it is 10000 times better than the old me. AND I've been doing well on my treadmill. I'm very happy with that. I have a PT session Tuesday morning... feeling sick about that too...

Hope you feel better soon hon.

awwwww girls big hugs to both of you

JBM I hope work wasn't too rough with you! How's your bad luck camping!!! We are heading off camping for 3nights this coming weekend so I hope I have a better time than you did.

Mother Goose I am not pg either got af yesterday can't wait to ttc again this cycle!!!

AFM on the weight loss front.... I haven't weighed myself for ages but my clothes are getting looser, strangley I can particularly tell in my underwear! They were getting pretty tight and I thought I was going to need to go and buy larger ones heheheh

I've gotta say again that I highly recommend the Gabriel Method book. It's an easy read and it all makes so much sense that you will want to keep reading (this is coming from someone who is lucky to read one book a year) There is a cd which he has that he recommends you listen to every night so DH downloaded it from the website onto his mp3 player for me and I fall asleep before it even finishes. I don't know everything that it says on there but since the 1st time I listened to it I get up in the mornings with so much energy and I 'want' to eat well. I have nearly done everything that I have been 'putting off' around the house too which feels great!

Anyway don't forget to rest if you are sick, working out too much will only make you feel worse
