Dear reader,
Just a quickie as I'm off to work soon.
Weigh in Wednesday tomorrow.
I haven't been bad but I haven't been an angel.
I'm very good at excuses. I will have worked 12 days in a row at between 8 and 11 hours a day and I'm only half way through and already tired.
The weather is so awful with torrential rain it has put paid to my running.
Because I've been at work I haven't done much cooking so meals have been less organised.
I am trying to eat breakfast but never feel that hungry in the morning. Takes me a couple of hours to fancy food, however as I write this the TV is on and there is an advert for a nice looking cereal on the screen. Nice crunchy little nuggets with lots of nutty bits. It looks really healthy, could be a change from my Weetabix.
Hmmm, have just seen a small whiskered face peeping out and discovered it is in fact Go-Cat.
What do you fancy in the morning?
I don't fancy anything in the morning, I am firmly in the camp that I don't have to like it, I just have to eat it! Taking this approach I've gone from having nothing or a bar of Dairy Milk to having cereal, porridge, toast or a bagel with peanut butter for breakfast.
ReplyDeleteI'm the same as you; need to wait for breakfast until I've been up and drank my 2 cups of tea and showered, etc. before eating.
ReplyDeleteI usually have porridge, made with water in the microwave, then milk added *plus a spoonful of Golden Syrup* oops! Banana to follow, then try to last out until dinnertime.
I'm having chicken salad with 2 small boiled potatoes tonight so shan't eat until then; if I eat breakfast, I need regular feeding afterwards. That doesn't work when I'm trying to lose weight!!
Weigh-in tomorrow morning - am I missing all the others who have 'signed up' or aren't they posting their results on here?
Confused of Cornwall x
Go-cat. LOL
ReplyDeleteIt depends - sometimes I'm not hungry either in which case I eat later. Otherwise I have fruit and yogurt and toast usually.
ReplyDeleteIf I am up really early, I cannot eat breakfast as like you, it is too early. I am not always hungry, but if I eat at 6am then I certainly will want my lunch by 10! What I used to do if I had to go off early was to take something to eat around 9am. I got into the habit of making some 'breakfast muffins/bars etc' usually based around porridge oats/muesli (similar to the ones you can buy but of course much cheaper). This is no good for you at present, but maybe you could buy something like Special K bar or some of the diet breakfast bar thingies, just to get you through this busy spell. In the office I work in some people bring in their cereal/porridge to eat around 8.30-9am, not sure if you could do that? There are the new instant porridge pots; of course I would not pay that price for them but if you are interested I know Morrgage Free in Three made some instant porridge. I am not sure if I still have my (fairly healthy) morning muffin recipe, but will look around if you are interested.
ReplyDeleteI'm naughty I don't often eat breakfast but if I do it tends to be 2 slices of nimble with a squashed banana on, no butter, its quite filling and usually lasts me until lunch time. Sometimes I'll have porridge but not often, i certainly dont fancy Go Cat!!! :-) x
ReplyDeleteWeigh in tomorrow, I will be back to report a loss/ gain, not too hopeful as still not excercised....lazy moo..I am ! Karen x
Weigh in Wednesday.... Only a piddly half pound! I think excercise has to be a must! I need to get off my fat butt! X
DeleteGood luck to all the others weighing in xx
How many calories in G-Cat then? Might be worth a try!
ReplyDeleteI have never eaten breakfast, but have recently been put on some tablets that are taken three times a day with food. So I have tried to eat breakfast to fit the pills in. I have been making myself porridge with water and then adding milk and sugar, but I do have to force it down.
Mind you , I then don't feel like snacking until lunch as the porringer is slow release. energy
Good Luck with your diet challenge

Morning ladies, here is my weigh in confession. I have put back on 3 lbs!! Not totally surprised as my initial 5 lb weight loss was honestly due to being sick over Christmas. Still it is a net 2lb down. Have been good about the exercise though since being back to work. Went out walking 3 times already at lunchtimes but the weather is so glorious at the moment it would be foolish not to. I think nature is being fooled into thinking it is spring here - although it won't last of course. Anyway, onwards and upwards (or downwards). Good luck to all. Anna
ReplyDeleteI lost 400grams lol oh well, at least I have started again :-)

Try making Swiss Bircher and taking it with you. I also sometimes make oatbran muffins or like Karen a banana sandwich.
ReplyDeleteWednesday morning : Only 1lb lost this week but it's still a loss, so that's OK. Of course we all want to lose 3 or 4 lbs a week, but it ain't gonna happen, is it? If I lose 1lb a week, I shall have lost a whole stone!!!!!!! by the second week of April when I will be meeting up with my niece and her hubby when they come down to Cornwall. THAT will be a good feeling when they see the difference. The next stone , at just 1lb per week, will be gone by mid-July - just right for the summer holidays. yay!!! So take heart, ladies - it CAN be done in very small insignificant sounding steps. Incidentally, although I'm reading through my old Slimming World recipe books for meal ideas, I'm following the 5:2 diet plan. The old tummy is adjusting to have 2 days on restricted calories and there's always the thought that I can eat 3 sensible meals tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteKeep going - onwards and downwards. xx
I've lost 4lbs this week but I'll put a lot of that down to a few days illness.
ReplyDeleteI'm the same and rarely eat breakfast in the morning. Although I know I should, I just don't fancy the idea of food until late morning/lunch time. Good luck to everyone with their weight loss. Sx
ReplyDeleteI exercise first thing and then have breakfast and never miss even if it is fruit.Mostly have muesli and fruit or porridge.
ReplyDeleteI lost 2lb this week
Good luck ladies
Weigh in Wednesday - I'm really pleased to have lost 5lbs! I know it's mostly because it's my first week on the diet and it will slow down, but a real good start which has made me feel really positive about the future!
ReplyDeleteHope you're okay?

Weigh in Wednesday - I'm really pleased to have lost 5lbs this week. I know it's the first week of the diet but it's a really good motivation!
ReplyDeleteWeigh in Wednesday...........a day late, but never mind. I was 224lbs on 30th December, and last night I was 219lbs, a loss of 5lbs. I'm quite happy with that. I have cheated a bit too, so I must try harder. The thing is I already feel a little less bulky, and I know the more I lose the better I'll feel. So, any loss is good. I feel ready to try harder.
ReplyDeleteweigh-in-Wednesday - I've lost 4 lbs this week and I'm happy eating healthier after the Christmas blow-out!
ReplyDeleteWeigh-in-Wednesday - I'm happy to report a 4lb loss this week
