Who knows - maybe I shouldn't be numbering them, it gets confusing.
Anyway - yesterday was weigh in #2. I didn't feel any different, but according to the scales I have dropped 2.6 kilos!! That's since last week where I dropped 200 grams.
I think that sort of a drop is amazing. I have been eating low fat for months now, but not exercising. Not that I did much exercising during last week anyway. I just did not have the jfdi in me to jfdi.
On Saturday I jumped on the scales to see what was going on and found I had dropped 2 kilos - in 3 days. I put a lot of that down to having had a laxative the night before and having been to the toilet courtesy of said laxative prior the mid week weigh in. I felt I needed the laxative as I had some discomfort in my tummy and I knew what that would fix things up. I don't generally suffer from constipation but that first week I was a bit clogged, so to speak.
I have recently found a 'new' brand of greek yoghurt. It is thick and rich and creamy and 0% fat, if I buy the right flavours. The only things is hubby has found them in the fridge too. I have been having 1 of these as part of my breakfast, so I consider them mine. I got quite annoyed when he started to eat them too. I mean it's my food - I bought them for me, not him. But yet I am prepared to share them with the youngest. Go figure. I used to hide nuts/chocolate/lollies etc. so he wouldn't eat them on me.
I have read a number of posts on the 12wbt forums about 'my food' v's 'their food' and how people cope with it all. I have reads these posts and gone to myself, since when is fresh fruit and veges the specific domain of the 12wbt'er?? Shouldn't all the fresh wholesome food be made available to everyone in the posters house?? Yet here I find myself with a similar, if not the same, attitude. Get your dirty mitts off my yoghurt!!
This week I bought hubby some flavoured custard, in the vain hope that he would eat those and not MY yoghurt. To no avail. One night he had what I would consider to be 4 desserts - 2 flavoured custards (together, he likes to mix his flavours), 1 cupcake and then 1 yoghurt. I told him that was disgusting.
As far as exercise goes, I have made a decision. I am going to exercise - every day if possible. I will not exercise if hubby is home. So that rules out Sundays and his RDO's. I have done a Michelle Bridges shape up dvd a few times. Whilst I can manage to get thru 60-75% of it, it leaves me an absolute wreck the next day with very sore knees. So I have found my old Nutri System video - yes video - and have started doing that on the first level. The first time I could not manage to get the coordination happening with some of the moves, but today I had it. I have nearly got to the point where I can do the whole thing without stopping. Not with as much knee bending or twisting as the presenter does, but getting there. When I find that this is getting easy I will move onto their level 2. Once I can do their level 2 fairly easily, I will go back to the MB dvd and mix it up with the NS level 3 video. I have never even looked at that one.
Now I realise that this video is not going to push my body to get 400 cals burned each day - it barely gets 100 done in the 20 minutes it goes for. But I figure it is better than nothing and it is a start. I have not exercised in over 20 years, so starting slow and easy is the way to go for me at least. You may be different. Maybe I can do the MB one as my SSS - super Saturday screamer.
This whole program is about getting off the couch/computer chair/etc and moving and counting the calorific value of what goes in your mouth and staying under a certain limit. So that's what I am doing.
