Diet & Weight loss support #4

[krysalyss]

Hey guys. I lost 1.3kg this week so pretty happy with that after the holiday gain.
Went to sizzler today for lunch but was still good. But regret the tiny small piece of sticky date pudding that I had as I didn't check the calories beforehand and it so wasn't worth it.
Cherished - I take just a multi-vit. Do you need to take extra protein? Most vegetarians don't because you do get a lot from vegies etc. But then if you are doing a lot of weights or exercise etc you might need to? I have realised I can't get tempeh here which is a bugger as I do an awesome vietnamese spring roll and it is great in that. Mmmm thats what I feel like now actually.....
Well I am off to get my eyelashes tinted. I fly down to BNE tomorrow for a meeting. Not so keen on giving presentations but I hear the catering is good. LOL!

Ammaki I'm sure it's just AF

"go krysalyss, go krysalyss, gooooooooooooooo krysalyss hehehhe 1.3kg is GREAT! YAY
I find that I do need more protein just to get me through, I try to have a protein with every meal or my sugar spikes with only eating carbs iykwim plus I do like to have extra protein to build muscle and the more protein you eat the more fat you burn I love cutting tempeh into thin strips and shallow frying it and dunking it into sweet chilli sauce or soy sauce Not sure where you are but most IGA stores will get in products that a customer requests if there is one near you?

Ohhh, krys, shouldn't have bragged about my tempeh for dinner in vego thread. Sorry! Maybe you can buy some while you're in Brissy?

Cherished - you did NOT just say that about Floradix - I just bought my first bottle yesterday! I hate the taste so much, but I'm sure it's good for me, so am just powering through.

My weight hasn't changed at all, but I'm feeling good, and eating pretty well. Could probably slot a bit mroe exercise in (I know 30km on the bike sounds like heaps, but honestly, it is so much a part of my life that my body doesn't even register it anymore.) Found a local yoga class and I'm really keen to go along, but so shy for some reason. Weird.

Snugglybean "oh no..... I DID just say that about Floradix" I really do think it is that which makes me feel like crap, I've kinda tested it, I havent' had it since the mc and I've felt good and then I took it last night and feel like crap today, I've tested it a few times like that.... I think I will leave if for a week and than have it again and if I wake up like today I will know it's the Floradix... I even take it at night with my vit C & Zinc powder so that if it does upset me a bit I will be asleep and not know about it lol I know some people can be a little sensitive to iron supliments so maybe it's just me because I have been told by others that Floradix is really good.... I have taken a different one with is a slow release capsule, I can't remember the name but it's expensive and starts with F too... It also has folate in it. I think I will get that again and just take it every second day. Go and enjoy your yoga class.... I think I will go to a pilaties or yoga class too but 'I' am shy because I don't think I will be able to keep up!

Well I'm very proud of myself again today, counted my calories and I even fitted in a small bag bite size cookies which a beautiful little 5 year old boy brought in for me along with a big hug It totally made my day because he is super cute and it made me feel special Good night everyone

Awww thanks Cherished! That made me feel really good.
I am seeing my family for the first time in a few months tomorrow so hopefully they notice the difference. I was hoping to be down to a healthy weight for the visit but still 2.8kg off that. Not long at least.

Snugg Dogg - Maybe I will pick up some tempeh. I used to live in Indonesia and lived on this stuff - even though I was a meat eater then. So yummy!

Oliver and MMM - Welcome aboard our happy train. Definitely the more the merrier!

Well everyone sounds like they are going well! Good job guys!

Cherished - if you're thinking Fefol, don't do it, it plugs you up bad, also has animal products in it (I know you're not vegan, but I was p!ssed off when I found out I had been lied to) Apparently BioEthics or similar is good?

Kryspy Kreme-lyss - LOL at the Snugg Dogg! I woke up throught he night and thought maybe I should have offered to deliver you some , so you wouldn't have to take time out of your schedule to go find tempeh.

Blood test this morning, might have come home and had a tim tam but at least I walked up to the hospy, and will ride bike to work. Also, heaps of housework to do tonight, I hear that burns cals, yeah?

[Cherished]

Right I am gonna have to practice my home girl status and get down with some funky names for snugg dog and Kryspy Kreme-lyss (cause all can do is copy you 2)

I was thinking of Fefol! shame it has the animal products in it many vitamin B supplements have animal stuff in it too.... The one we have from our natroupath doesn't and it has a good amount of folate in it too. Hmmmm I might try the BioEthics?

Re the tim tams as I said you can afford a tim tam or two if you want you do heaps of physical stuff... Me on the other hand..... I dont' even go near the lollie and choc biscuts in the supermarket
