Having a very bad food week, used to bad food days but getting depressed about the week thing. Am eating anything that is not bolted down at the moment, and unfortutnaly I do not mean things like fruit, more like chinese take-aways and alcohol.
Worried I'm getting back into the cycle of losing weight and then putting it back on. Today is going to be difficult anyway as I am going out for lunch and then for a friends birthday tonight, temptation all around.
Work is manic and stressful at the moment and I tend to use food as an emotional crutch.
No running today, no time, but I will get out for another 8K tomorrow.
Hope all your weeks are going better!
Last night I signed up for the "health for life" Fooundation Studies in Exercise Certificate being run as distance Learning bt Telford Coll with Ludlow Leisure Centre. As well as getting my first work book I also have the right to joint the NUS! But Telford is a bit too far just to go to the Union Bar.
Was having a good food week till the jacket potato with cheese for lunch yesterday, and the dessert after dinner last night.
oh well. Today will be a better day!
also - no run this morning, shame on me, but was too tired, so caught another hours sleep. bliss!
I had a chocolatey lapse yesterday afternoon, but it was entirely my own fault for not having eaten as much breakfast as normal and anticipated a nice lunch before an afternoon meeting only to be faced with a table covered in cold quiche (yuck), pork pies (plusyuck), Scotch eggs (doubleplusyuck), and a running girl can't survive long on cherry tomatoes and a scrap of pasta salad. So when my first patient of the afternoon brought a box of Celebrations for me, I was a sitting target.
Back on track today. Tuna and sweetcorn sandwiches, banana and yogurt already under my belt.
And as for changing names do you work for AMD? and have you had any threatening legal proceedings?
Don't worry I won't tell anyone, even though "that lot" are an investor in my employer!
Have been out for a 3 mile run this morning - did a few intervals (think that's the right word!!), then took it easy the last mile home. I'm going to have a couple of rest days now and build up for the race on Sunday. Going out to visit my parents now... long slog on the M25 into Hertfordshire... please, please, please don't let it rain...!!! Hope you're all ok. Thinking of you Cath & hope all is well at the clinic today xx.

I'm the opposite – I snack constantly, but try and keep it healthy - on my desk at the moment I have a bag of mandarins and a ‘snack tub’ containing chopped carrot, pepper, celery and cherry plumb tomatoes

I normally eat all that as part of a main meal - usually I'll do a two course thing, have a main meal and then snackery things following. Consequently my meal times last alot longer than the average! Cherry tomatoes are the best too! Plus, I'm blessed with not having a sweet tooth as well... which helps alot I suppose
Nor, unfortunately, does my internal chemistry fall for the "high bulk, water food that takes forever to eat" trick. I just end up ravenous and with fibre intoxication. Still, not a problem just now as I seem to be losing weight with minimal substitition of yogurt for pudding, trying to avoid mindless nibbling, and moderate training.
I think it is because a lot of my work is brain work I need something to do with my hands - and I'd look daft knitting

I have managed to train myself into not drinking during the week and saving it for the weekends. Its a good thing as drinking make me nibble olives and crisps etc. I feel so much better in the mornings. I hope this doesn;t make me sound like an old soak but it actually was a hard habit to break so may be I am!
I have become a juice addict though - cranberry, raspberry, apple and mango. yummy!
Once again I have managed to lose 1/2 pound, but as I didn't weigh in last week that is 1/2lb in 2 weeks. I haven't been counting the weightwatchers 'points' lately but have been eating properly. Had a great run last night - about 7 miles with the 'medium-slow' people in the running club rather than the 'slow' ones! Not too bothered about slow weight loss as I can see my running's improving, which is my main aim. On the weight watchers scales I am 9 stone 2.5lb, but still 56kgs in the gym, which I think is about 4kg lighter. Deciding to go with WW scales as would hope they're accurate.
Bought a cook book today to learn how to cook :}
WW I'm with you - I like 'grazing' whether I'm hungry or not. Unfortunately the easiest (or yummiest) things to graze on are not necessarily the healthiest. Your 'snack tub' sounds great though.
Just got back from the M25 slog of visiting the parents... I'm exhausted now!! Mother tried to force me to eat cake, but I refused, telling her that I couldn't as I was in training for my race on Sunday!!!! (She believed me!!!). Luckily I went for my run this morning, so I'm just gonna veg out tonight & watch FAT FRIENDS!.. The eating thing.. well with me, I've got absolutely no willpower whatsoever! I just cannot allow myself to buy cakes/sweets etc, cos I'll eat the whole lot in one binge!! So, if I don't buy it in the first place, well then I've just got to go without.. (although I have been known to beg the Mr. at 9pm to go up to the garage on the corner and get me two flakes.) The only thing I've got in this house to graze on is fruit, fruit and more bloody fruit!! Sometimes.... it is very boring living here..!
