LE Diet Thread

Yeah I know it's okay if it's still within limits but it makes it so hard to not go over with other meals! Plus it feels so indulgent that I feel like it can't be good for a girl diet lol.

Well AF arrived as a surprise because I'd had no temp rise to suggest ovulation. Plus I came down with a horrendous cold/cough with a very high temperature and the boys have been fighting the bug so far more argumentative and grumpy than they are usually. So for the last few days I've done no exercise (literally none as I've mainly been in bed) and have over eaten on stodgy foods. I've not been completely awful in that I've hardly snacked, chose low fat oven fries instead of deep fried ones, and a Domino's topped with low fat mozzarella, mushrooms and jalapeños rather than my fav meat feast ones. So my totals have been 1800-2200 every day instead of the 1550 I usually eat.

Right now my temperature has gone down a bit so I'm feeling more myself and therefore regretting three days of over indulgence AND no exercise. Really hoping I'm well enough for the 60mins tomorrow!!! I'm sure the diet will be easy to stick to again then. Fingers crossed!

It doesn't sound like you really were that indulgent. Plus remember it's about the overall sway! A few days isn't going to make or break anything. Plus being sick can only help in the decline of maternal condition right?!

Thank you. I hope so! X

Today's plan is

Breakfast - black coffee
Lunch - two medium jacket potatoes and butter with spring onions and tomatoes
Dinner - vegetable curry leftovers from last week (there was so much I froze some!) so vegetables, potatoes, chick peas, chapati and naan.

Yesterday I tried to skip breakfast completely and it was so hard! I have been just pushing it back and sticking to three meals. I think my body is going to take a while to get used to two meals. I won't be able to be on the diet but so long because I don't have a lot of weight to spare so I want to give it my all for this sway. Hopefully I adjust quickly! I'm so used to snacking every hour lol.

I'm a breakfast fan. The first time I did LE I found it hard to skip so used to make sure I did a few things to get me through. I drank a large glass of water when I got up. Then during the morning I'd have a black coffee or two and a diet soda (which I hate!). This combination always kept me going until 11:45 when I'd have an early lunch.

I'm still full of catarrh with a nasty cold so this is the sixth day I've not done my cardio but sat indoors on the sofa nearly all day! I'm craving stodge so just keeping an eye on my cals.

Today's plan is :
Breakfast - black coffee
Lunch - two jacket potatoes and butter with spring onions and tomatoes, possibly some cheddar
Dinner - vegetable stir fry and Singapore noodles (to get a bit of fresh food in me, not that I fancy it)

I think I need to just try to fill up in the morning more on coffee and water. I just don't love black coffee (but I'll drink it) and water on an empty stomach is always unappealing for some reason. I hate diet drinks too! I'm sure I'll adjust though.

Today was coffee for breakfast
Lunch was a bagel and pumpkin cream cheese and another coffee
Dinner was a veggie taco, rice and beans, and a beer

I don't know how you do so well on the diet being sick. When I'm sick I just eat candy and carbs all day long lol.

I don't think I've done well this week at all!!! No exercise at all and lots of stodge and going over my cals. Hey ho.

Today
Breakfast - Nothing
Lunch - two medium jacket potatoes and butter, spring onions and tomatoes
Dinner - going to the theatre with girlfriends and having pizza beforehand so wine/cocktails and then an Italian style vegetarian pizza
