I'm feeling very weak

I've had the most horrendous cravings today. I managed to keep it under control but lost it with ice cream this evening. I've been doing strength training as well as cardio and it's made my muscles feel weak . so I'm generally feeling very fatigued.

I gained all the weight I lost last week through 4 days of just junk, but I'm down to 12.5 stones today so not bad.

I don't know why, but I wake up with a bloated stomach and I also find that I weigh more in the mornings than mid day, which is very odd.

Anyway, I'm trying not to be discouraged.

Start of week 3

So, I finished last week with high levels of exercise and high levels of food to replace it.

I only managed to do one fast day of the 5:2 diet. I find that I over eat the next day with a special craving for sugar which I normally don't crave.

Anyway, this week, I'm going to go back to cutting back on carbs rather than do the 5:2 diet.

I gained 0.5lbs so I'm 12.6lbs today but I feel my clothes are a little looser than before, certainly my jeans feel looser  and since my thighs are where my weight gathers, I think I have lost some inches.

Back again and heavier than ever!

Well, I'm back again after falling off.
Since my last post, I've been on and off dieting, going to the gym, but mostly eating like there was an impending famine.

Last week I tipped the scales at 181 lbs. Urgh. Fat rolls and just looking like a round ball.
I had to get a grip so I started back at the gym and I went hard! Really hard! Controlled my eating and cut back on carbs. On Sunday I decided to try and the 5:2 diet fast since I was gonna be alone and my fiance wasn't going to be around.

The diet basically says on two non consecutive days out of the week you eat 500 calories for women and 600 for men and then for the five other days you eat normally.

I didn't quite manage 500 but did around 580 calories.

It was tough at first, hunger is something I rarely feel because I eat when I feel like it not when I feel hungry. I drank lots of water to ignore the hunger pangs. After a while, you stop thinking about food and I didn't feel hungry most of the day. I had a slight headache but it was manageable.

My diet for the day was:

8am
Coffee with milk no sugar = 30 calories

10.30am

Coffee with milk no sugar = 30 calories
1 boiled egg = 80 calories
12am

Atkins coconut indulge bar = 155 calories

3pm

1 boiled egg = 80 calories
Tea with milk = 15 calories
6pm

Atkins coconut indulge bar = 155 calories

2 liters of water
Total = 545

That week, I lost 4.5lbs. I was sooo happy! . Weight is 175.8

The next day Monday I felt fine, didn't feel weak at all. I tried to eat an egg and 1 slice of toast but my stomach had shrunk so I couldn't eat much. I went to the gym and had a good work out.
I eat an omelette and the other half of my earlier breakfast then we went out and I eat crap. I think the lesson is, definitely don't go out to eat after the fast day.

I'm going to do 2 days of fasting this week and see how I get on.  I'm continue to go to the gym as well.

I lost my job

I was made redundant last month and resorted to eating my upset away. I haven't been going into the office as I was told I could work from home to complete my handover. As the gym is near work, I didn't want to waste petrol money driving 13 miles to the gym and then having to see the office on my way in. So, I stayed at home.

I used that time constructively though and secured another job and also launched my online store, www.batique.co.uk

I'm back to the gym and time to get this weight off!

I am having a horrible week

I've been in free fall this week and last week. Nothing but junk has passed my lips these last few days. My craving for burgers, pizza, cheese and all manor of calorie rich foods has been insane. I couldn't even manage to get to the gym until today and then undid all my work with a bacon and egg sandwich, quarter pounder with cheese, two burger king meals for dinner.

I could still fit more food in right now. I hate these binges and I don't even know why I do it to myself.  I've been stressed out with work so that's the major contributing factor, but normally I'm able to handle stress with exercise. This time, my medicine is food. I feel horrible and fat!

Weighed in at the gym and I was 75.8 kilos , 11st 9lbs , 166.76lbs. My clothes don't feel tight surprisingly, but I definitely need to try and get back on track for the rest of the week.

I'm having a very bad week

I have a strong need for savory foods this week - almost the same needs I have when I'm due on. I think restarting the pill a week later than I should have has affected my hormones. 

I was good on Monday but the last 3 days has been horrible. I've been cooking to try and avoid junk food, but I really want Pizza. I'll have one tonight and try and get back on track the rest of the week.

I did a YouTube video on my weight loss - when I was on a high note 

Start of the month

I'm 11st 6lbs today (163.2 lbs).  I only lost 4lbs last month, which is appalling, so this month, it's my mission to turn this around.

I have a wedding to go to on 24th November and I really want to look great, plus my fiance has a work Christmas dinner and I want to look hawt!

Unfortunately this week hasn't gotten off to a good start as I've only been to the gym once, so it means being very careful with my eating for the rest of the week.
