Lee the Pea

60 min spin this evening too

Schmunkee - The List Fairy

Not sure I could do egg and marmite

IronMags

Hungry too but don't want to let dem sausages down! Peppermint tea it is
Can't wait 'til tomorrow - two training sessions = om nom nom lots of food

LtP - Are you sure you're hungry?  Could it be psychological as you feel you are depriving yourself? 

M...eldy

Being hungry I believe is the reason most 'diets' dont work .... I would reassess your meals and plan so that you are not hungry?
Is that too simplistic a view tho??

Flat Footed

I have a fews chips with curry sauce going spare any takers???

M...eldy

oh and dont underestimate the old slimfast as a recovery shake/meal




Mr Foot .... I was going to insult you but I forgot which team you are on so I might not now until I check   

IronMags

I try and eat most of my daily food fairly early on in the day - a good breakfast, before training etc. Means that I'm not hungry during the day and training feels well-fuelled, but also makes it a long time until breakfast! Not quite sure how else to balance things

Great use of Slimfast tho - I have a tub of it somewhere from a failed experiment so free recovery drinks for a while

M...eldy

They are perfectly balanced and usually on offer somewhere, I have tubs of the stuff .. slightly out of date but I doubt that matters !

Schmunkee - The List Fairy

M-bear - some people benefit from eating little but often ie constantly snacking. Maybe you could try that?

IronMags

Yep mine will be a bit old too now but doubt will kill me! They are made up with skim milk if i remember?

M...eldy

skimmed milk would be fine ..

IronMags

And yes - I do try to do the little and often thing... maybe I just need to save a little snack for later in the evenings

Lee the Pea

Schmunks, I think you're right. I had a cuppa, and felt less hungry! I think it is psychological more than anything, as I knew i'd reached my points limits, and felt I couldn't eat. Then I thought about having some more fruit, but realised I wasn't hungry enough for it. Just makes me realise how many crappy snacks i've been scoffing when I didn't need them - I eat as much for boredom as anything else!

Melds - i'm defo not starving myself, I think it is just that my piggish ways are hard to give up, hehehe

I've not tried slimfast, but i've got a diet protein shake that I have after a big sesh, or occasionally as a morning snack if i'm peckish - keeps me going for ages, and stops me snacking on crap.

Schmunkee - The List Fairy

LtP - don't forget too that if you have previously snacked on high sugar foods you have had peaks and troughs of 'sugar rushes'.  It may be that your body has to get accustomed to being on an even keel re sugar levels.  Keep going as you are and I am sure these imaginary hunger pangs  will subside and you won't feel the urge to snack

Found today a little tougher than the previous two days. Ironically did less training today but felt hungrier than the other two days. Over all happy enough with how the day went. Need to go to bed shortly so I'll be able to get up for my early morning swim session tomorrow.

debbo

I'm always hungry if I'm trying to lose weight. I'm sure it's not psychological, it's because I'm not eating enough

M...eldy

Using the Food Focus websit and I cant eat as much as they suggest even if they do overestimate the calories used in excercise!

Nice technique there. 

Saffers

I am doing really badly so far.   I have given up the beer in the week but after two hard training sessions I was starving yesterday and ate badly.  Today is a new day and scrambled egg with no toast this morning.....

*walks right on past the doughnuts*

I've been controlling what I eat and drink since new year and had managed to lose 10lb up until the start day of this competition. Have lost precisely nothing since Feb 1st though Might be down to a cut-back training week.

Hope the rest of you donuts are covering my share of the weight loss

Schmunkee - The List Fairy

My body is a temple too.  Only problem is, everyone is worshipping at other altars

Ridgebackmax

Toaday I have mostly been eating

2 boiled eggs 2 slices of toast

Banana, apple,pear Grapes,assorted nuts

3  Ryvita + low fat cottage cheese

1 tin of low fat rice

tonite veggie curry

which IF I was training would be probably about right if not a bit of a calorie defacit to what I normaly chuck down my head, but as I am taking it easy until the 14th I think I may be in for a shock come weigh in day
