Some Veggers Are Bigger Than Others - 10/10 porkers thread

[CoupleofKooks]

General healthy eating and exercise thread with aim of losing weight / shaping up. Aim to eat 10 portions of fruit and veg a day, and do more exercise. No bizarre diets please. Weigh in day is Monday (you don't have to weigh in but we will punish you by with-holding stickers). Diet coke will be frowned upon.

yes i find it is all or nothing with sugar(well not literally ALL but LOTS)
for a few weeks sometimes i manage to indulge sensibly, but like virtually every other interesting substance in my life, i then go overboard, and have to stop altogether or suffer the consequences

ack, another crap day for eating and i was grumpy as fuck with the boys
sleep deprivation really getting to me i think, i am jut not getting any long stretches of sleep and it is a pig

will list f+v and gloss over the rest

berries pineapple raisins = 4
baked beans and butter beans = 2
grapes = 1
cranberries = 1

the side of my ankle is hurting when i walk, it started last week after i ran for over an hour
i rested for about 4 days but it carried on, so i ran on it yesterday anyway
it didn't bother me while running but walking today it had got worse
arse

sorry about the ankle and lack of sleep.

The sugar thing is difficult. You know you shouldn't, but it's nice and it's easy and it's instant gratification.

banana
weetabix
2 pears
tortilla with hummus and cucumber, olives toms and grapes
packet of plain crisps
pizza with lots of cheese, pineapple, toms, mushrooms, onion and sweetcorn

Rubbish eating day here. In -service day not conducive.

weetabix, g'fruit juice
2 tuna triangel sandwiches and 2 chicken salad triangles and one little sausage roll
one cookie
banana
strawb yoghurt
some spaghetti and tomato sauce with some garted cheese

4 at a push. Bought-in lunches are dire for f&v.

weetabix and strawberries
pear
hummus & cucumber wrap, olives, toms & grapes
12 mini eggs - found an uneaten Easter stash.
veg curry, mushroom rice & chapatti

Probably about 9 portions.

Am knackered. We're off to stay at my parents for the weekend. I have no illusions that it will be a rest

oh i did REALLY badly today
and my trousers feel tight
ds1 has this scheme of doing a cake stall for pakistan flood relief so we were baking all day - NOT healthy stuff
i am really pleased he has applied himself to doing this, but today all the neighbourhood children have turned up saying "can we come and help tomorrow?"
i am probably being a killjoy but i have an uneasy feeling about it
i imagine scenes from huck finn or tom sawyer or perhaps just william

Hurrah for ds1 and the cake stall idea, how thoughtful of him. Enjoy keeping all of those boys under control!

Don't worry about tight trousers, tomorrow is another day.

The cake stall sound slike a great idea. Good fun too. I like a big bake.

Yesterday, I done ok:

g'fruit juice, weetabix
banana
one biscuit
banana
3 jacobs and gouda
strawb yoghurt
spicy chicken
lots salad leaves, beetroot, toms etc
one square chocolate (v disciplined)

5-6. Not brill

Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelp! How do I get back on the wagon? Today I had bacon, egg and tomatoes on toast, no proper lunch but a bar of choc and a bag of Haribo cause I was working then shopped on the way home and was knackered and starving. Then pasta with cheese sauce, tuna and veg and garlic bread, then more garlic bread with x factor.

I need to list again. I do, I need to start tomorrow and list for a couple of days til I get used to not eating all the time again and then I'll be ok when I remember that hungry is ok.

Thanks! Right. New focus tomorrow.

(I wasn't too horrendous. Grilled bacon, dry fried eggs, I added toms for a portion, stopped way before I could've with the pasta and gave myself extra veg.... ok i'll shut up, it was terrible. See you tomorrow.)

You should have had beans and mushrooms with your breakfast as well as that would have been 2 more portions. I'm not helping am I??

Listing defo helps keeping me on the straight and narrow.

Am still at parents house. They took ds when he woke at 6.30 and dh and I had a lay in - hurrah.

ruddy computer problems here again, won't see you for a bit i think
do weigh in and stuff and i will see you soon i hope
xx

I have not verred much from the straight and narrow this weekend.

Today:

o juice, lots melon
boiled egg and slice buttered toast
kiwi yoghurt
carrot sticks and spicy houmus

tea will be lentil and carroty soup with bread, strawberries and cherry almond cake

I should end up with a robust 8 by the end of the day.

That is veered obv

Apple, banana, raisins. Crudites with cheese on toast for lunch (only 1 and a half slices) but DH pigged loads of the veg [grrr]. Then we went for a nice afternoon out with the ILs who bought us ice cream and donuts . But then dinner was salad. 3 portions I think. So a decent 8 so far and my running buddy has suggested a run which I was planning to say no to but on writing this have decided to go.

Not bad. And if I want anything else to eat, I will have fruit.

Lemur, breakfast tip was helpful but I was against the clock! Had to leave for work at ten past nine! Well done pointy! I love carrot and lentil soup!

Hope the computer problems are sortable Fran. See you soon!

I'm not going to weigh tomorrow. For a rather odd reason! I don't think it'll be too bad. But I've eaten such a load of crap that an ok weigh in will justify it for me IYSWIM So I'm going to have a really good week and weigh next mon.

I had pickled red cabbage with my tea as wel so that makes 9 for today.

Get your puter sorted, fran. What's wrong with ya.

Yes Fra, get it sorted!

Weetabix
tiny piece of plum cake
ryvita, hummus, guac, olives, cucumber, toms and grapes
chicken fajita's with roasted onion, peppers and mushrooms.

Probably about 8 portions.

Still keeping the faith.

Well done for keeping the faith Pointy

yes, even when fran is away fighting the mighty computer, we struggle on.

Fruit for brekkie yesterday, salad and bulgur wheat for lunch. Tea was using up leftovers and I had sausage and mash, not ideal. Then went to a friends and had crisps, nuts, dips, pear tart and wine. But you can't not join in at a party

20 mins yoga this morning. Don't forget your exercise everyone!

It would defo be rude to refuse to join in the party imo

yesterday:

weetabix
apple
grapes
2 ryvitta, hummus, guac, cucumber, toms and olives
smoothie
it all goes pear shaped from here
2 deep fried mozarella sticks
pepperoni pizza
Oh crap

I need a holiday. We're going away in the middle of Sept but that seems aaaaaaaages away at the moment.

Come on Pointy, where's the faith keeping?!

1 slice of toast
1 slice of victoria sandwich
2 ryvitta, small chunk of cheese, toms, cucumber & olives.
Meatballs and pasta (sauce has mucho tomatoes, onions, olives and mushrooms)

Oh lordy, that's SHITE isn't it?

Come on Fra. We need a leader.

We had visitors yesterday, someone who used to wear wellingtons of the pink polkadot variety and her dc's.

We (as in whatagradeA and I) were told off by my Mum for arguing over dd1's dolls' house (I have finished tidying it whata. )

There were biscuits and cake. It's all whata's fault.

I am not really posting or listing or owt because I'm not really vegging poperly at all. Many fine plans hatched, many excuses made.
