Whoknows is sat at the computer eating apple crumble and ice cream with a streaming cold, having not run for over a week (but has beautiful nails Blue Reef).
So, the low GI Diet! Despite all the above, I think it is working, I haven't lost any weight yet but I suspect I will need to make a few more changes to achieve that. I feel a whole load better though, cold notwithstanding, energy levels are not fluctuating as wildly as they used and I'm not getting massive hunger pangs / carb carvings either. I used to get a massive dip in energy / carb craving about 2 hours after lunch (when I get home form work) and then used to stuff myself with toast only to feel the same at 6pm and stuff myself with anything to hand whilst making the dinner.
So the regime is as follows
7.30 - breakfast, old = branflakes with milk and banana, new = extra nut granola with milk and a banana
11am - snack time, old = nothing, new = slice of wholemeal bread and peanut butter or 2 oatcakes and cheese
12 - old lunch time, was starving by then
1.30 - new lunchtime - soup plus salad with protein (meat/fish/nuts)
4pm - snack time - nuts and raisins or more oatcakes+cheese
Anytime between 6 and 8 - dinner, with lower GI changes where possible.
Ahem, no running this week due to the cold and being very busy, but hoping to get back to it this week (not optimistic, the next two weeks look manic).
Jelli - love that chocolate colour! I hope my new diet leaves me cold free from now on, I've had at least 4 this winter, I usually only get about one.
Shandy - well done with Week 7, fantastic progress
Melody - I'm not a very good swimmer but am making serious efforts to improves this year. A friend of mine did an adult swimming course last term and went from being able to do one length to doing 50 front crawl non stop in the space of a term, I'm well impressed.
Better go, DCs are kicking off.
