NYBTC Food & Diet Chatter Week 1

Welcome Annie - it's never to late to start!
Its been a very busy day for me. I went out to lunch with workmates today and there was not a lot of choice that didn't involve a deep fryer (we were at a service station road house on the highway.....I know I know......next time I need to say no - I left a really healthy lunch at work too :().

Breakfast:150g starwberries and pineapple; 175g low fat natural yoghurt; 1 espresso coffee - black no sugar.

Lunch:600ml diet zero coke; I chicken, lettuce and mayo sandwich on multigrain bread (forgot to ask for no marg - eeeek!). (Normally I would have had a hamburger and chips so feel ok about the choice I did make :) ).

Dinner:BBQ'd steak with morocan spice rub (yum); salad - lettuce, celery, capsicum, cucumber.

Snacks: a couple of plums.

Water: Struggling.

Exercise:Nil additional.

tea

10 blanched almonds
water

4lts at least today it has been so hot
i'm going to do better tomorrow even though we are going to a bbq lunch at my parents place

I have decided to stop starving myself as much as my family were ready to leave me LOL I am just trying to take the healthy option and leave out all the extra chocolate and cakes. I am also trying to exercise more which for me is a big thing as I am really bad at that.

I have been sooooo bad the last half of this week, in regards to dinner. I've been working long hours and it has been the responsibility of DH & DSS to organise dinner. Dinner at the bowling alley on Thursday & Friday does not equate to decent food!!!!!!!!!!!!! At least the food during the day has been healthy. BUT my body does not like the amount of fat it has consumed, especially since they couldn't tell me if they used canola oil in their cooking.

OK so I wasn't going to come on here and be a twat, however I NEED to tell someone.........that I lost 3.5kgs this week!!!!
I'm not starving myself just cut down to what I know I should be eating. Have to say I'm quite chuffed and wanted to say to you girls THANKYOU for the INSPIRATION!!! :D

O M G Kim, that is AMAZING! Well done!

I was doing really well, but I needed a timeout. So I'm having chocolate cake and icecream. I have diarised it, but not counting the points today....

Christine ~ i'd need a car that would make it and i'd be there

i haven't had the best wekend....
went out for breakfast and went a little crazy (went to Ranges- Kazbah you'll know where that is :) )
i wanted to ask you ladies, how often are you weighing yourselves? i haven t weighed myself since the initial measurements. do you think i should?

i weigh my self on the same day every week unless i can't get to town on that day then i do it when i can so tomorrow is Weigh day for me cause i am going to town to the chiro

Kim that is great - WTG!!! And I was getting excited because I lost 2.2kg!! DH even noticed ;)

Only bummer for me is I have done NO exercise! I know it is lame but it is so hard with a toddler and a newborn! I suppose I could be out now while DH is home and both boys still asleep, but honestly I would rather type on BB, have a coffee, wash some nappies and hang out last night's wasking. How to I go from housewife to fitness freak??

I lost 3kg last week! woohoo!
Not the best weekend, water wise. Food was fine but I am never able to drink 2L of water/day on the weekend. Its a lot easier to do it trapped behind a desk at work.
I brought fruit today so thats a start!

Rory rory thats my problem too and I don't have a toddler and a newborn! I have been trying to do more incidental exercise, like going up the stairs twice or faster and walking back and forwards with every item I get out of the dishwasher. Don't beat yourself up looking after 2 littlies IS exercise!!
Ray ray - well done!!!!

Rory - take a walk as "you" time without DH or the bubbas .... I see it as "me" time and I'm loving that! Previously when I was single, I didn't *need* "me" time!

OK is it just me or can we not edit our posts in here? I was wanting to update my diet last night but couldn't?

Ok Lucy - you just made me spit coke on the puter! LOL.

That's great news Ray and Rory!

Kaz the me time is possibly because before we had to wear our hearts on our sleeves and our eyes inside our - all our time was me time. But I'm the same....bit hard when DH is in the NT for 4 months though....he's back soon, he's back soon...

Big congrats to all the girls posting here the last couple of days who have lost weight - Ray, Kim, Leanne, Shazz, Rory, Lucy - everyone's tickers seem to be on the move! (sorry if I forgot anyone).

RayRay and Kim your losses are huge! Are you both on shake diets?

Gracie - I know I shouldn't do it but I jump on the scales every morning. I don't take too much notice of it though and only record the number and set it as my new weight once per week (Mondays). I find it motivating either way - if the scale has gone down a little tiny bit then I want to maintain it that day and if it has gone up a little tiny bit then it motivates me to get it back where it was before! I don't know how healthy it really is though to do this. It only seems to work if you're already in a positive state of mind.....

Lucy - you might be right about the poo! I think my gastro thing yesterday might have helped to erase the two glasses of wine I had on Saturday night! (Sorry TMI!) but I really should have paid for that on the scales and didn't :)

Nope Kaz just WW - I hear you on the gastro though - I'm pretty sure my giardia's back :( Half an hour after everything I eat....gross.
